taskmd
A Markdown-based task management system for humans and AI coding assistants, with a CLI, a web dashboard, AI skills and an MCP server, all running locally.
taskmd stores tasks as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, version-controlled alongside a project's code, and provides a CLI to create, update, filter, validate and visualize them. A web dashboard adds a kanban board, dependency graphs and project metrics, viewed in the browser.
A set of AI skills gives assistants slash commands to create, update and work through tasks, and an MCP server exposes the same task-management operations as direct tools, so an AI assistant can act on tasks without going through a chat-formatted command. All task data stays in the project's own repository and is never sent elsewhere.
It installs through Homebrew, a prebuilt binary, the Go toolchain (CLI only, without the web dashboard), building from source, or Docker, which runs either the web dashboard or CLI commands against a mounted tasks directory.
