Expand all TaskMaster tasks with deep research before coding begins. Reads tasks.json, launches parallel research agents per task in waves using the research-expander agent. Writes findings back to tasks.json. Part of the prd-taskmaster toolkit. Use after PRD is parsed and before implementation. Invoke with /expand-tasks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Expand Tasks with Research v1.0 Expands TaskMaster tasks with research before coding begins. Deterministic operations handled by `script.py`; AI handles judgment. **Script location**: `skills/expand-tasks/script.py` (relative to plugin root) **Part of**: `prd-taskmaster` plugin **Depends on**: `research-expander` agent (parallel research worker), any research provider configured via `task-master models --set-research` or registered as an MCP research tool. ## When to Use Activate when user says: expand tasks, research tasks, research before coding for all, expand subtasks. Do NOT activate for: single task research (use /research-before-coding), PRD generation (use /prd:go). ## Native-parallel first (token economy) Before launching agent waves, check the cheaper path: the native engine expands tasks in parallel for free. Prefer `python3 script.py expand` — backend op expand (native api) — or the `expand_tasks` MCP tool: it runs structured `expand` across pending tasks concurrently (inheriting the engine's ThreadPoolExecutor) on economy-tier models / keyless host CLIs and merges atomically. …

How to install
mdr add anombyte93/prd-taskmaster/expand-tasks@sha256:54b9076123f2939bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260615.de188ed, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
