Task Demon Features
Explore all the powerful features that Task Demon brings to your development workflow. From automated task triage to AI-powered implementation, Task Demon revolutionizes how you manage your projects.
Deep Project Understanding
Characterization
Task Demon uses automated deep analysis to gain comprehensive understanding of your project. This characterization process can be updated any time, giving Task Demon's AIs excellent understanding of your project structure, dependencies, and architecture. This deep knowledge allows the system to create and execute tickets faster and more effectively than any conventional task management tool.
- Automated deep analysis of your project codebase
- Can be updated any time as your project evolves
- Provides Task Demon's AIs with detailed project understanding
- Helps create and execute tickets more effectively
- Accelerates onboarding for new team members
Intelligent Task Prioritization
Automated Triage
Task Demon automatically triages all tasks as soon as they are created or imported from GitHub. For coding tasks, it spins up a series of agentic tool calls to create a super high quality requirements/plan document. This document describes precisely how to accomplish the task, with file by file breakdowns of the work to be done, along with an optimized one-click-to-copy LLM prompt containing the plan, all background information about the project and task, and any project-specific instructions you've provided.
- Automatic triage of all tasks upon creation or import
- Agentic tool calls for coding tasks
- High-quality requirements/plan document generation
- File-by-file breakdown of work to be done
- One-click-to-copy LLM prompt for implementation
Detailed Implementation Roadmap
Planning
Task Demon automatically creates a super high quality requirements/plan document that describes precisely how to accomplish your task, with file by file breakdowns of the work to be done. The planning process uses the CLI agent running on your laptop/device to generate the plan, ensuring Task Demon itself never has direct access to your code or data while still providing highly accurate and contextual planning.
- Automatically generated high-quality requirements documents
- File-by-file breakdown of implementation details
- Privacy-preserving architecture runs on your device
- Task Demon never has direct access to your code
- Context-aware planning based on project characterization
Seamless Source Control Sync
GitHub Integration
Task Demon integrates deeply with GitHub, keeping GitHub as the source of truth for your project tickets. We maintain perfect synchronization with your GitHub project, pulling in new issues as they are created. Task Demon is also the best interface for creating GitHub tickets, as you can enter natural text into the chatbot that already has deep understanding of your project to create great tickets. All along, you can continue to use GitHub's interface to manage your tickets, and Task Demon will keep everything in sync.

Powerful AI Implementation
Claude Code Integration
Task Demon contains powerful agentic AI capabilities, but it is not itself an agentic coding tool. Instead, it feeds your agentic coding tool with a hyper-specialized prompt that massively increases the odds of the coding tool doing the right thing in the right way. While triage runs on Task Demon's servers, the plan and implement workflows run on your own device using Claude Code. This approach ensures that Task Demon doesn't have direct access to your code or data, while allowing you to leverage the most powerful AI coding capabilities available.
- Generates hyper-specialized prompts for Claude Code
- Plan and implement workflows run locally on your device
- Privacy-preserving architecture protects your code
- Leverages Claude's powerful coding capabilities
- Future support for additional coding tools planned
Optimized AI Instructions
Lusciously Detailed Coding Prompts
The primary output of Task Demon is the implementation prompt that it builds for a Task. After triage and planning, Task Demon gives you a one-click copy-to-clipboard button that contains a super optimized LLM prompt including the plan, all background information about the project and task, and any project-specific instructions you've provided. Paste it into Claude Code, WindSurf, or Aider and hit enter for dramatically improved implementation results compared to basic prompts.
- One-click copy-to-clipboard for implementation prompts
- Super-optimized LLM instructions for your coding agent
- Includes plan, project context, and custom instructions
- Compatible with Claude Code, WindSurf, Aider, and more
- YOLO mode for direct implementation without intervention
<purpose> You are an experienced senior software engineer working on a code repository. You will be given details about the Project (which represents the repository), including any existing high-level documentation about the Project. You are being given a detailed plan for some work that needs to be done, including tasks, files, and instructions. The plan has been prepared for you ahead of time by an LLM Architect, and then checked and improved by a second Architect. It is likely that the plan is good and you should follow it as closely as possible to completion.

Intelligent Project Management
Agentic Project AI
At the heart of the Project page in Task Demon is the Project Agent, which is a chat bot that understands your project (through Characterization) and has the tools to create and manage tasks for you. Most of what you'll do is tell it about some bug or feature request; the Project Agent will automatically create a Task for you, and then kick it over to the Task Agent for triage and planning. Because the Project Agent understands your context so well, it's much more natural to enter plain language into the chatbot UI and have it create GitHub tickets for you.
- AI chatbot that deeply understands your project
- Natural language task creation and management
- Automatically creates detailed GitHub tickets
- Leverages project context for more accurate task creation
- Seamlessly hands off to Task Agent for implementation
Smart Task Implementation
Agentic Task AI
Just as the Project page has the Project Agent, the Task page has the Task Agent, which is primarily responsible for triage and planning, but also understands the project, the specific task and its plan, and can answer your questions about it. It also generates commit and pull request messages for you, and creates and closes tasks. The Task Agent works in tandem with your local CLI agent to handle the implementation workflow while keeping your code secure.
- Task-specific AI agent for triage and planning
- Answers questions about tasks and implementation plans
- Generates high-quality commit and PR messages
- Creates and closes tasks automatically
- Works with CLI agent for secure implementation
Local AI Implementation
CLI Agent
The CLI agent is a small NPM package that you can install and run in your terminal. It allows you to authenticate with your Task Demon account and then run an agent on your own device that does the actual analysis of your code to produce the plans and prompts you use to implement tasks. This design ensures Task Demon limits its access to your code and data. If you keep an agent running, it will continually listen for new Tasks and generate plans and prompts automatically, meaning that a few minutes after a task is created, there's an optimized LLM prompt ready for implementation.
- Simple NPM package runs in your terminal
- Analyzes your code locally for privacy
- Continuously listens for new tasks
- Automatically generates plans and prompts
- Only requires Claude Code and Node.js to run
Your Code Stays Private
Privacy and Security
We take the privacy and security of your code and data extremely seriously, which is why we don't want to touch any of it directly. Task Demon never gets any direct contact with your code or data. It produces documentation (Characterization and Plan documents) that provide insight into your project, making Task Demon work so well, but your actual code remains on your device. This approach ensures that even the most security-conscious IT departments can be comfortable with Task Demon's security model.
- Task Demon never accesses your code directly
- All code analysis happens locally on your device
- Only documentation and plans are stored in Task Demon
- Compatible with strict corporate security policies
- Full control over what information is shared
Professional Documentation
Suggested Commit and PR Messages
When you're ready to implement a task, you can use the Task Agent to generate a suggested commit and PR message for you. As we never touch your code, but we do have an extremely high quality plan document that describes the implementation in full, we use the plan to generate high quality commit and PR messages for you. These messages are comprehensive, professionally formatted, and save you time while improving the quality of your repository documentation.
- AI-generated commit messages based on task plans
- Professionally formatted and comprehensive PR descriptions
- Includes implementation details and testing steps
- One-click generation saves time during implementation
- Improves repository documentation quality
Before vs. After
Customizable AI Behavior
Editable Instructions
Agentic coding tools like WindSurf, Aider, Cursor and Claude Code all get much better when you give them detailed instructions about how you want them to behave for your project. Task Demon allows you to enter your own custom instructions for the triage, plan and implement steps of the Task Agent, as well as general instructions passed to all workflows. As part of the Characterization process, if we detect instructions files for various tools, we'll use them to populate these instructions for you (which you can edit whenever you want).
- Customize AI behavior for your specific project needs
- Separate instructions for triage, plan, and implement steps
- Automatic detection of existing instruction files
- Editable anytime to refine AI output
- Dramatically improves AI output quality and relevance
