# Task Master Viewer Visual GUI for managing Task Master `tasks.json` files. ## When to Use **Use when:** - User asks to "view tasks visually", "open task editor", "launch GUI", or "see tasks in browser" - User wants to edit multiple tasks without typing commands - User needs to reorganize task hierarchy - CLI/MCP tools feel cumbersome **Don't use when:** - User is comfortable with CLI (`task-master list`, etc.) - User wants to script or automate tasks - Headless/server environment without browser ## Quick Start ### 1. Check Streamlit Installation ```bash python -c "import streamlit" 2>/dev/null && echo "✓ Installed" || pip install -U streamlit ``` ### 2. Launch Application ```bash cd .claude/skills/task-master-viewer && streamlit run app.py ``` **Output:** ```sql Local URL: http://localhost:8501 ``` App opens automatically in user's browser. ### 3. Tell User ```sql ✓ Task Master editor is open at http://localhost:8501 To stop: Close browser tab and press Ctrl+C ``` ## Technical Details **File Location**: `.claude/skills/task-master-viewer/app.py` **Dependencies**: `streamlit` (only requirement) **Default Path**: `PROJECT_ROOT/.taskmaster/tasks/tasks.json` **Port**: `8501` (auto-increments if busy) **Theme**: Snowflake brand colors in `.streamlit/config.toml` **Data Format**: Standard Task Master JSON with tagged task lists ## Stopping the App **Foreground** (default): ```bash # User presses Ctrl+C ``` **Kill Process**: ```bash pkill -f "streamlit run" ``` **Background** (if needed): ```bash cd .claude/skills/task-master-viewer nohup streamlit run app.py > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $! > streamlit.pid # To stop kill $(cat streamlit.pid) ``` ## Common Issues | Issue | Solution | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | | "Address already in use" | `pkill -f "streamlit run"` then restart | | "Module 'streamlit' not found" | `pip install streamlit` | | Wrong directory error | Must run from `.claude/skills/task-master-viewer/` | | File not found | User sets path in sidebar settings | ## Best Practices **Do:** - ✅ Check/install Streamlit before launching - ✅ Run from skill directory - ✅ Tell user the URL - ✅ Explain how to stop - ✅ Mention all instructions are in the app **Don't:** - ❌ Leave running indefinitely - ❌ Launch multiple instances - ❌ Edit tasks.json while app is open - ❌ Explain features (app has help text) ## Integration Works alongside: - Task Master CLI commands - Task Master MCP tools - Direct JSON editing (use "🔄 Reload" button) ## Example Response **User**: "Can I see my tasks visually?" **Agent**: ```sql Installing Streamlit... ✓ Launching Task Master editor... ✓ Editor is open at http://localhost:8501 All instructions are in the app interface. To stop: Close browser tab and press Ctrl+C. ```
