Introduction
Developers spend a lot of time managing pull requests, fixing CI failures, and responding to review comments. Claude Task Master provides a command line interface that automates this entire loop. By giving the tool a high level goal, it plans the work, writes code, pushes commits, opens a pull request, handles CI, addresses feedback, and merges when all checks pass.
How It Works
The CLI reads the repository, creates a task list, and defines success criteria before any code is changed. Each task is executed in isolation: the tool makes the required modifications, runs the test suite, and creates a commit. After the commit is pushed, a pull request is opened automatically. The pull request enters the CI stage; if any checks fail, Claude Task Master updates the code, runs the tests again, and pushes a new commit. Review comments are fetched via the GitHub API, and the tool can apply suggested changes without human intervention. When the pull request passes all checks and receives approval, the tool performs an auto merge.
