Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated

Install

pnpm add -g claskit

Quick start

claskit

claskit detects if the project is not set up and walks you through initialization interactively.

Create a task spec with AI

After brainstorming your plan with Claude, use this prompt to generate the spec file:

Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phucbm/claskit/main/SKILL.md and follow its instructions to create a task spec .md file.

Claude fetches the skill, reads your conversation context, and writes .claude/tasks/todo/<slug>.md automatically.

Usage

claskit [flag]

| Flag | What it does | |------|-------------| | (none) | Interactive menu: pick tasks, choose when to run | | --init | Set up .claude/tasks/ folder structure in current project | | --now | Skip menu, run immediately (still shows task picker + confirm) | | --test | Create 2 sample task files in todo/ to test the runner | | --clean-test | Remove all test-generated files |

Interactive menu options

• Now — pick tasks and launch immediately
• Schedule (HH:MM) — live countdown until target time, then launch; machine sleep is prevented for the entire session (countdown + Claude runtime) on macOS/Linux via caffeinate
• Exit

Task picker

When 2+ tasks are queued, claskit asks which to run:

Select tasks:
  Enter numbers separated by commas, or "all"
  [all]: 1,3

How it works

1. Claude reads each selected .md spec
2. Decides execution order based on dependencies noted in specs
3. Implements each task fully
4. Verifies acceptance criteria
5. Moves the spec from todo/ to done/ on success
6. Stops and reports if anything fails

Claude runs with --dangerously-skip-permissions — it will read, write, and execute commands without prompting. Only use in projects you trust.
