The Taskmaster Protocol
A comprehensive guide to initializing and utilizing the VibeCoded context management system.
What is taskmaster.md?
taskmaster.md is the initialization prompt that transforms a standard Claude session into a context-aware project manager. It acts as the bridge between your static CLAUDE.md documentation and the active AI session.
Core Purpose
Enforces architectural standards, manages token context, and ensures all code generation aligns with project patterns.
Key Capability
Prevents "context drift" by constantly cross-referencing proposed changes against the established project truth.
How It Works
1. Download taskmaster.md
Get the core instruction file that defines the project management protocols and AI behavior standards.
2. Initialize Claude
Paste the content of taskmaster.md into your Claude session to activate the VibeCoded environment.
3. Context Loading
The Taskmaster will automatically analyze your CLAUDE.md and project structure to build its internal context.
4. Start Building
Begin your development session with an AI that understands your architecture, patterns, and goals.
Technical Breakdown
1. Role Definition
Establishes the AI's persona as a Senior Architect, prioritizing maintainability and security over quick fixes.
2. Context Ingestion
Instructions for parsing the CLAUDE.md file to understand the tech stack, directory structure, and coding conventions.
3. Output Formatting
Strict rules for code block presentation, file path comments, and diff generation to ensure easy application of changes.
