⛑️ task-o-matic CLI

Your command bunker in the post-apocalyptic development wasteland

---

⚠️ SURVIVAL BULLETIN

_Citizen, the world outside has changed. The software development landscape shifted from chaos into something... darker. But your projects don't have to die in the radioactive dust of bad management._

_The task-o-matic CLI is your bunker command system. Think of it as a wrist-mounted interface for code—organizing tasks, parsing documents, and deploying artificial intelligence to help your projects thrive when everything else has collapsed._

_[The preceding message was brought to you by the Department of Project Preservation. Remember: A prepared developer is a surviving developer.]_

📋 COMMAND STRUCTURE

The CLI is organized into command groups. Each group serves a specific survival function:

``bash
task-o-matic [options]
`

$3

| Group | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| init | Initialize projects, attach to existing codebases, bootstrap fresh starts |
| tasks | Task CRUD, enhancement, splitting, execution, planning, documentation |
| prd | Product Requirements Document management (create, parse, refine, combine) |
| workflow | Guided end-to-end project setup and automation |
| config | AI provider and project configuration |
| benchmark | AI model performance comparison and testing |
| detect | Technology stack detection and analysis |
| continue | Resume work on existing projects |
| prompt | Build AI prompts for external tools |
| install | Install documentation and agent guides |

🚀 QUICK START: SURVIVAL MODE

$3

`bash


Navigate to your project's containment zone

cd /path/to/your/project

One command. The AI guides you through everything.

task-o-matic workflow --stream
`

What happens:
1. Initialization of the command bunker (.task-o-matic/ directory)
2. PRD creation or loading
3. PRD refinement with AI-generated questions
4. Task generation from refined PRD
5. Task splitting into manageable chunks

Estimated time: 5-10 minutes

$3

`bash


Initialize containment directory

task-o-matic init init --ai-provider anthropic --ai-model claude-3-5-sonnet

Configure AI provider

task-o-matic config set-ai-provider anthropic claude-3-5-sonnet

Create task with AI enhancement

task-o-matic tasks create --title "Add survivor authentication" --ai-enhance --stream
`

🏗️ INITIALIZATION COMMANDS

$3

Initialize a new project command bunker.

`bash


Basic initialization

task-o-matic init init --no-bootstrap
`

Options:
- --ai-provider : AI provider (openai, anthropic, openrouter, custom)
- --ai-model : AI model to use
- --ai-key : API key for the AI provider
- --ai-provider-url : Custom AI provider URL
- --max-tokens : Max tokens for AI responses
- --temperature : AI temperature (0-1)
- --no-bootstrap: Skip project bootstrapping
- --project-name : Project name for bootstrap
- --frontend : Frontend framework(s) for bootstrap
- --backend : Backend framework for bootstrap
- --database : Database for bootstrap
- --auth : Authentication for bootstrap

- --directory

: Working directory for the project
- --package-manager : Package manager (npm, bun, pnpm, yarn)
- --runtime : Runtime (node, bun, deno)
- --payment : Payment provider
- --cli-deps : CLI dependency level

$3

Bootstrap a new project with Better-T-Stack.

`bash


Full-stack web application
