- Update generate command default output directory from 'tasks' to '.taskmaster/tasks'
- Fix path.dirname() usage to properly derive output directory from tasks file location
- Update MCP tool description and documentation to reflect new structure
- Disable Biome linting rules for noUnusedTemplateLiteral and useArrowFunction
- Fixes issue where generate command was creating task files in the old 'tasks/' directory instead of the new '.taskmaster/tasks/' structure after the refactor
- supports multiple statuses like 'blocked,deferred' with comprehensive test coverage and backward compatibility
- also adjusts biome.json to stop bitching about templating.
- Fixed logic in moveTaskToNewId function that was incorrectly treating task-to-task moves as subtask creation instead of task replacement
- Updated moveTaskToNewId to properly handle replacing existing destination tasks instead of just placeholders
- The move command now correctly replaces destination tasks and cleans up properly without leaving duplicates
- Task Management: Moved task 93 (Google Vertex AI Provider) to position 88, Moved task 94 (Azure OpenAI Provider) to position 89, Updated task dependencies and regenerated task files, Cleaned up orphaned task files automatically
- All important validations remain in place: Prevents moving tasks to themselves, Prevents moving parent tasks to their own subtasks, Prevents circular dependencies
- Resolves the issue where moving tasks would leave both source and destination tasks in tasks.json and file system
- New MCP Tool: research tool enables AI-powered research with project context
- Context Integration: Supports task IDs, file paths, custom context, and project tree
- Fuzzy Task Discovery: Automatically finds relevant tasks using semantic search
- Token Management: Detailed token counting and breakdown by context type
- Multiple Detail Levels: Support for low, medium, and high detail research responses
- Telemetry Integration: Full cost tracking and usage analytics
- Direct Function: researchDirect with comprehensive parameter validation
- Silent Mode: Prevents console output interference with MCP JSON responses
- Error Handling: Robust error handling with proper MCP response formatting
This completes subtasks 94.5 (Direct Function) and 94.6 (MCP Tool) for the research command implementation, providing a powerful research interface for integrated development environments like Cursor.
Updated documentation across taskmaster.mdc, README.md, command-reference.md, examples.md, tutorial.md, and docs/README.md to highlight research capabilities and usage patterns.
- Enhanced get-task/show command to support comma-separated task IDs for efficient batch operations.
- New features include multiple task retrieval, smart display logic, interactive action menu with batch operations, MCP array response for AI agent efficiency, and support for mixed parent tasks and subtasks.
- Implementation includes updated CLI show command, enhanced MCP get_task tool, modified showTaskDirect function, and maintained full backward compatibility.
- Documentation updated across all relevant files.
Benefits include faster context gathering for AI agents, improved workflow with interactive batch operations, better UX with responsive layout, and enhanced API efficiency.
- Fixed parent-to-parent task moves where original task would remain as duplicate
- Fixed moving tasks to become subtasks of empty parents (validation errors)
- Fixed moving subtasks between different parent tasks
- Improved comma-separated batch moves with proper error handling
- Updated MCP tool to use core logic instead of custom implementation
- Resolves task duplication issues and enables proper task hierarchy reorganization
Fixes Perplexity research role failing with 'tool-mode object generation' error
The hardcoded 'tool' mode was incompatible with providers like Perplexity that support structured JSON output but not function calling/tool use
Using 'auto' mode allows the AI SDK to choose the best approach for each provider
