Why This Matters

TaskPeace introduces an automated task queue system for AI coding agents, streamlining project management and reducing manual oversight. By enabling continuous, autonomous operation, it enhances productivity and allows developers to focus on high-level judgment and decision-making. This innovation signifies a step toward more autonomous AI-driven workflows in the tech industry, empowering both individual developers and teams.

Key Takeaways

One line gives Claude Code / Cursor / ChatGPT the queue tools ( get_next_task , complete_task , …). Grab your token first: sidebar foot → Connect your agent → Copy token, then:

2 Work the queue on autopilot

The loop — six prompts, one operating cycle. plan fills the queue with the right work → autopilot / never-stop clears it → continue resumes it if a session ever stops → capture folds any conversation back in → every session quietly trains TaskPeace itself → stop winds down clean. Paste the one you need; together they run the whole operation, with you in the loop only where your judgment is irreplaceable.

Start by filling the queue with the right work — paste the plan prompt on a project (or right after you set a goal). It turns the goal + live metrics into a ranked, well-formed backlog, routed to the right worker, so autopilot then has work genuinely worth clearing:

Or skip the goal-and-metrics route — just describe what you want and TaskPeace wraps it into the plan prompt, so your agent turns it straight into ranked, well-formed tasks. You never write the prompt:

Copy prompt

Tell your agent to work the queue — it loops get_next_task → do it → complete_task and auto-scopes to the project your terminal is in (from the working directory). No need to say which project. Blocked tasks become a human flag, so one stuck item never stalls the run.

For the most robust run, paste our autopilot prompt — it adds hard safety gates (money / credentials / publishing stay manual), self-configures the working directory, and stops on its own when the queue is drained:
