analyze_project_complexity

Assess task complexity within a project, identify tasks exceeding a defined threshold, and generate actionable expansion recommendations for improved task management.

Instructions

Analyze task complexity and generate expansion recommendations.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`file`	No	Path to the tasks file relative to project root (default: tasks/tasks.json).
`from`	No	Starting task ID in a range to analyze.
`ids`	No	Comma-separated list of task IDs to analyze specifically (e.g., "1,3,5").
`output`	No	Output file path relative to project root (default: .taskmaster/reports/task-complexity-report.json).
`projectRoot`	Yes	The directory of the project. Must be an absolute path.
`research`	No	Use Perplexity AI for research-backed analysis.
`tag`	No	Tag context to operate on
`threshold`	No	Complexity score threshold (1-10) to recommend expansion.
`to`	No	Ending task ID in a range to analyze.
