I would like to introduce a task management function like taskmasterAI. Does anyone know a good way to do this?
Check out GitHub - taggartbg/bivvy: A Zero-Dependency Stateful PRD Framework for AI-Driven Development! I just made it, its a task manager similar to taskmaster AI, but much simpler. Feel free to open an Issue on Github if you want to see it change or improve in some way!

You might want to check out this open-source project cjo4m06/mcp-shrimp-task-manager
It’s a task-planning MCP designed specifically for coding and implementation—simple structure, easy to extend and integrate.
Thanks for the link! Shrimp is a little heavy-handed for my use. I was hoping for something thats a simple npx command and based entirely on rules. It just fits my workflow a bit better.
+1 for your Bivvy package. Loved the climb and moves concept. Will try to share insights as I use it more.

Thanks @ed1432!
I’ll be pushing updates this weekend, I got some good feedback so far.
I’m going to be breaking up rules into multiple steps.
ALSO: how do folks feel about an MCP server? There is no reason this couldn’t support both rules-based and MCP-based.

thanks @taggartbg! Will look forward to the updates. By rules you mean the Bivvy.mdc file? I think it would be a good idea to modularize it. MCP is all the rage and you could see if it solves some purpose in this case. Else it would be solution in search of a problem.
I was using a similar rule based workflow and it works well for scenarios where I need the agent to tread carefully eg. refactoring important parts of codebase, business logic that impacts multiple areas of an app (stores for sharing app wide context) etc. The problem was copy / pasting the rules from my GitHub repo for each project I start. I tried creating snippets within Cursor for rules but keeping them updated without version control got cumbersome.
Do you plan to use a convention over configuration approach with your extension? Or would you consider providing the user some flexibility via pluggable .md or .json files to alter the rules a bit.
RE: MCP - I think the main thing I’d want from MCP is integration with my OTHER new tool: https://vibeframe.dev, to give it a rich UI in a panel right in Cursor. It could be totally optional / additive.
RE: Copying / pasting, yeah, I was doing the same, which is why I sat down to make the npx command so its just 1 command and its in the project
RE: Convention over configuration. I’m not exactly sure what you mean here, I’d say bivvy is 100% convention and 0% config. But if you wanted to add some optional config for unique .md or .json features / schemas, I’d definitely be open to it. Kinda like a “rules plugin”. Got anything in mind?
