Add to VS Code settings.json under `cline.mcpServers` **Claude Desktop**: Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows) </details> ### Start Using 1. **Initialize your project**: `"init project rules"` 2. **Plan a task**: `"plan task: implement user authentication"` 3. **Execute tasks**: `"execute task"` or `"continuous mode"` ## 💡 What is Shrimp? Shrimp Task Manager is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that transforms how AI agents approach software development. Instead of losing context or repeating work, Shrimp provides: - **🧠 Persistent Memory**: Tasks and progress persist across sessions - **📋 Structured Workflows**: Guided processes for planning, execution, and verification - **🔄 Smart Decomposition**: Automatically breaks complex tasks into manageable subtasks - **🎯 Context Preservation**: Never lose your place, even with token limits ## ✨ Core Features ### Task Management - **Intelligent Planning**: Deep analysis of requirements before implementation - **Task Decomposition**: Break down large projects into atomic, testable units - **Dependency Tracking**: Automatic management of task relationships - **Progress Monitoring**: Real-time status tracking and updates ### Advanced Capabilities - **🔬 Research Mode**: Systematic exploration of technologies and solutions - **🤖 Agent System**: Assign specialized AI agents to specific tasks ([Learn more](docs/agents.md)) - **📏 Project Rules**: Define and maintain coding standards across your project - **💾 Task Memory**: Automatic backup and restoration of task history ### Web Interfaces #### 🖥️ Task Viewer Modern React interface for visual task management with drag-and-drop, real-time search, and multi-profile support. **Quick Setup:** ```bash cd tools/task-viewer npm install npm run start:all # Access at http://localhost:5173 ``` [📖 Full Task Viewer Documentation](tools/task-viewer/README.md) <kbd><img src="tools/task-viewer/task-viewer-interface.png" alt="Task Viewer Interface" width="600"/></kbd> #### 🌐 Web GUI Optional lightweight web interface for quick task overview.
