🚀 AI Dev Starter

Task Master AI + Claude Code + Cursor Integrated Development Template

📋 Overview

AI Dev Starter is a template that lets you instantly start a modern development environment with AI assistants. Start AI-powered development immediately without any configuration.

✨ Key Features

• 🤖 Task Master AI: PRD-based automatic task generation and management (Claude Code only)
• 🔧 Dual IDE Support: Use the same development rules in both Claude Code and Cursor
• 📚 24 Automation Rules: Automated development workflows
• 🔌 MCP Server: Use Task Master as an MCP server in Claude Code
• 🎯 Zero Config: No API keys or environment variables needed

🚀 Quick Start

1. Copy Project

# Copy this template to a new project
cp -r ai-dev-starter my-new-project
cd my-new-project

2. Use Task Master in Claude Code (Optional)

When using Claude Code, Task Master AI is automatically activated. No API key configuration needed - Claude provides them automatically.

# Generate tasks after writing PRD
# Run inside Claude Code
npx task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/prd.txt

3. Start Development

# Claude Code (with Task Master support)
claude

# Or Cursor (development rules only)
cursor .

🔧 Main Commands

Task Master (Claude Code only)

task-master next                              # Check next task
task-master show <id>                        # View task details

task-master add-task --prompt="description"  # Add new task

IDE Automation Commands

Available in both IDEs:

• /commit - Generate smart commit messages

📝 Task Master Usage Guide (Claude Code Only)

PRD-based Task Generation

1. Use PRD template:

cp .taskmaster/docs/prd_template.md .taskmaster/docs/prd.txt

2. Generate tasks after editing PRD:

# Run inside Claude Code
npx task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/prd.txt

Daily Workflow

# 1. Check next task
npx task-master next

# 2. Start working
npx task-master set-status --id=1 --status=in-progress

# 3. Code (in Claude Code)
# Task Master provides context

# 4. Complete task
npx task-master set-status --id=1 --status=done
