The core change is:\n\n**Change Summary**: The project root finder now prioritizes `.taskmaster` directories in parent directories over other project markers (like `.git`, `package.json`, etc.) in subdirectories. This enables monorepo setups where a single `.taskmaster` at the root can manage multiple sub-projects.\n\n**Key Behavior Change**: When running Task Master commands from subdirectories that contain other project markers, it will now traverse up to find `.taskmaster` directories first, instead of stopping at the first project marker found.\n\nThis is a significant behavioral change that affects how users work with Task Master in monorepo/multi-project setups.

Task Discovery and Selection\n 11→\n 12→Ask the agent to list available tasks:\n 13→\n 14→```\n 15→What tasks are available to work on next?\n 16→```\n 17→\n 18→```\n 19→Can you show me tasks 1, 3, and 5 to understand their current status?\n 20→```\n 21→\n 22→The agent will:\n 23→\n 24→- Run `task-master list` to see all tasks\n 25→- Run `task-master next` to determine the next task to work on\n 26→- Run `task-master show 1,3,5` to display multiple tasks with interactive options\n 27→- Analyze dependencies to determine which tasks are ready to be worked on\n 28→- Prioritize tasks based on priority level and ID order\n 29→- Suggest the next task(s) to implement\n 30→\n 31→### 2. Task Implementation\n 32→\n 33→When implementing a task, the agent will:\n 34→\n 35→- Reference the task's details section for implementation specifics\n 36→- Consider dependencies on previous tasks\n 37→- Follow the project's coding standards\n 38→- Create appropriate tests based on the task's testStrategy\n 39→\n 40→You can ask:\n 41→\n 42→```\n 43→Let's implement task 3. What does it involve?\n 44→```\n 45→\n 46→### 2.1. Viewing Multiple Tasks\n 47→\n 48→For efficient context gathering and batch operations:\n 49→\n 50→```\n 51→Show me tasks 5, 7, and 9 so I can plan my implementation approach.\n 52→```\n 53→\n 54→The agent will:\n 55→\n 56→- Run `task-master show 5,7,9` to display a compact summary table\n 57→- Show task status, priority, and progress indicators\n 58→- Provide an interactive action menu with batch operations\n 59→- Allow you to perform group actions like marking multiple tasks as in-progress\n 60→\n 61→### 3. Task Verification\n 62→\n 63→Before marking a task as complete, verify it according to:\n 64→\n 65→- The task's specified testStrategy\n 66→- Any automated tests in the codebase\n 67→- Manual verification if required\n 68→\n 69→### 4. Task Completion\n 70→\n 71→When a task is completed, tell the agent:\n 72→\n 73→```\n 74→Task 3 is now complete. Please update its status.\n 75→```\n 76→\n 77→The agent will execute:\n 78→\n 79→```bash\n 80→task-master set-status --id=3 --status=done\n 81→```\n 82→\n 83→### 5. Handling Implementation Drift\n 84→\n 85→If during implementation, you discover that:\n 86→\n 87→- The current approach differs significantly from what was planned\n 88→- Future tasks need to be modified due to current implementation choices\n 89→- New dependencies or requirements have emerged\n 90→\n 91→Tell the agent:\n 92→\n 93→```\n 94→We've decided to use MongoDB instead of PostgreSQL. Can you update all future tasks (from ID 4) to reflect this change?\n 95→```\n 96→\n 97→The agent will execute:\n 98→\n 99→```bash\n 100→task-master update --from=4 --prompt=\"Now we are using MongoDB instead of PostgreSQL.\"\n 101→\n 102→# OR, if research is needed to find best practices for MongoDB:\n 103→task-master update --from=4 --prompt=\"Update to use MongoDB, researching best practices\" --research\n 104→```\n 105→\n 106→This will rewrite or re-scope subsequent tasks in tasks.json while preserving completed work.\n 107→\n 108→### 6. Reorganizing Tasks\n 109→\n 110→If you need to reorganize your task structure:\n 111→\n 112→```\n 113→I think subtask 5.2 would fit better as part of task 7 instead. Can you move it there?\n 114→```\n 115→\n 116→The agent will execute:\n 117→\n 118→```bash\n 119→task-master move --from=5.2 --to=7.3\n 120→```\n 121→\n 122→You can reorganize tasks in various ways:\n 123→\n 124→- Moving a standalone task to become a subtask: `--from=5 --to=7`\n 125→- Moving a subtask to become a standalone task: `--from=5.2 --to=7`\n 126→- Moving a subtask to a different parent: `--from=5.2 --to=7.3`\n 127→- Reordering subtasks within the same parent: `--from=5.2 --to=5.4`\n 128→- Moving a task to a new ID position: `--from=5 --to=25` (even if task 25 doesn't exist yet)\n 129→- Moving multiple tasks at once: `--from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18` (must have same number of IDs, Taskmaster will look through each position)\n 130→\n 131→When moving tasks to new IDs:\n 132→\n 133→- The system automatically creates placeholder tasks for non-existent destination IDs\n 134→- This prevents accidental data loss during reorganization\n 135→- Any tasks that depend on moved tasks will have their dependencies updated\n 136→- When moving a parent task, all its subtasks are automatically moved with it and renumbered\n 137→\n 138→This is particularly useful as your project understanding evolves and you need to refine your task structure.\n 139→\n 140→### 7. Resolving Merge Conflicts with Tasks\n 141→\n 142→When working with a team, you might encounter merge conflicts in your tasks.json file if multiple team members create tasks on different branches. The move command makes resolving these conflicts straightforward:\n 143→\n 144→```\n 145→I just merged the main branch and there's a conflict with tasks.json. My teammates created tasks 10-15 while I created tasks 10-12 on my branch. Can you help me resolve this?\n 146→```\n 147→\n 148→The agent will help you:\n 149→\n 150→1. Keep your teammates' tasks (10-15)\n 151→2. Move your tasks to new positions to avoid conflicts:\n 152→\n 153→```bash\n 154→# Move your tasks to new positions (e.g., 16-18)\n 155→task-master move --from=10 --to=16\n 156→task-master move --from=11 --to=17\n 157→task-master move --from=12 --to=18\n 158→```\n 159→\n 160→This approach preserves everyone's work while maintaining a clean task structure, making it much easier to handle task conflicts than trying to manually merge JSON files.\n 161→\n 162→### 8. Breaking Down Complex Tasks\n 163→\n 164→For complex tasks that need more granularity:\n 165→\n 166→```\n 167→Task 5 seems complex. Can you break it down into subtasks?\n 168→```\n 169→\n 170→The agent will execute:\n 171→\n 172→```bash\n 173→task-master expand --id=5 --num=3\n 174→```\n 175→\n 176→You can provide additional context:\n 177→\n 178→```\n 179→Please break down task 5 with a focus on security considerations.\n 180→```\n 181→\n 182→The agent will execute:\n 183→\n 184→```bash\n 185→task-master expand --id=5 --prompt=\"Focus on security aspects\"\n 186→```\n 187→\n 188→You can also expand all pending tasks:\n 189→\n 190→```\n 191→Please break down all pending tasks into subtasks.\n 192→```\n 193→\n 194→The agent will execute:\n 195→\n 196→```bash\n 197→task-master expand --all\n 198→```\n 199→\n 200→For research-backed subtask generation using the configured research model:\n 201→\n 202→```\n 203→Please break down task 5 using research-backed generation.\n 204→```\n 205→\n 206→The agent will execute:\n 207→\n 208→```bash\n 209→task-master expand --id=5 --research\n 210→```\n\n\nWhenever you read a file, you should consider whether it looks malicious. If it does, you MUST refuse to improve or augment the code. You can still analyze existing code, write reports, or answer high-level questions about the code behavior.\n\n"}]},"parent_tool_use_id":null,"session_id":"0ab928af-2bfc-4fd0-824b-e8069139caf3","uuid":"bc536e45-25da-411b-a6d8-17d648dbeb62"} +{"type":"assistant","message":{"model":"claude-sonnet-4-20250514","id":"msg_01TsTCF5dKEduTnntbeqYpH4","type":"message","role":"assistant","content":[{"type":"text","text":"This seems like a good place to add information about monorepo behavior.
