taskmaster
Codex wrapper plus same-process expect PTY injector that keeps work moving until an explicit parseable done signal is emitted.
Best use case
taskmaster is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Codex wrapper plus same-process expect PTY injector that keeps work moving until an explicit parseable done signal is emitted.
Teams using taskmaster should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Taskmaster
Taskmaster for Codex uses session-log polling plus automatic continuation.
Codex TUI does not currently expose arbitrary writable stop hooks, so this
skill implements the same completion contract externally.
## How It Works
1. **Run Codex via wrapper**: `run-taskmaster-codex.sh` sets
`CODEX_TUI_RECORD_SESSION=1` and a log path.
2. **Injector parses log events** and checks completion on each
`task_complete` event.
3. **Parseable token contract**:
`TASKMASTER_DONE::<session_id>`
4. **Token missing**:
- inject follow-up user message into the same running process via
expect PTY bridge transport, using the shared compliance prompt.
5. **Token present**: no further injection.
## Parseable Done Signal
When the work is genuinely complete, the agent must include this exact line
in its final response (on its own line):
```text
TASKMASTER_DONE::<session_id>
```
This gives external automation a deterministic completion marker to parse.
## Configuration
- `TASKMASTER_MAX` (default `0`): max warning count before suppression in the
stop hook. `0` means unlimited warnings.
Fixed behavior (not configurable):
- Done token prefix: `TASKMASTER_DONE`
- Poll interval: `1` second
- Transport: expect only
- Expect payload mode and submit delay are fixed
## Setup
Install and run:
```bash
bash ~/.codex/skills/taskmaster/install.sh
