Characterization
Deep Project Understanding
Task Demon's Characterization feature automatically analyzes your project repository and generates comprehensive documentation that helps AI agents understand your codebase, architecture, and development patterns.
AI-Powered Project Analysis
What is Characterization?
Characterization is an AI-powered analysis of your software project repository that automatically generates comprehensive documentation describing the project's structure, components, and context. This deep understanding helps Task Demon's AI agents make better decisions for task triage, planning, and implementation.
- Automated deep analysis of your project codebase
- AI-generated documentation that evolves with your project
- Foundation for all Task Demon AI capabilities
- Runs locally to ensure privacy and security
- Continuously updated as your project evolves
The Process Behind the Magic
How Characterization Works
The Characterization workflow uses Task Demon's CLI Agent running on your device to analyze your repository. The CLI Agent acts as a conduit between the Characterization Agent and Claude Code, facilitating a conversation that iteratively builds a comprehensive understanding of your project through document requests and responses.
- CLI Agent analyzes your repository locally
- Characterization Agent requests specific documents about your project
- Claude Code generates requested documents based on repository analysis
- Process iterates until sufficient understanding is achieved
- Resulting documentation is stored and accessible through Task Demon
Conversation Flow
See how the Characterization Agent interacts with Claude Code through the Task Demon CLI Agent to build a comprehensive understanding of your project.
Watch the communication between the Characterization Agent, CLI Agent, and Claude Code as they analyze your project.
This demonstration shows a simplified version of the actual characterization process. In practice, the conversation may involve more detailed document requests and responses tailored to your specific project structure.

- Improves task planning accuracy and implementation quality
The Foundation of AI-Powered Development
Integration with Task Demon
Characterization is deeply integrated with other Task Demon features, providing the context needed for AI agents to understand your project and make informed decisions. The resulting documentation is used by the Project Agent, Task Agent, and other components to improve triage, planning, and implementation.
- Provides context for the Project Agent to create better tasks
- Enables the Task Agent to generate more accurate plans
- Improves the quality of AI-generated implementation prompts
- Enhances GitHub issue synchronization with better context
- Updates automatically through Continuous Characterization as your project evolves
