* Direct Integration of Roo Code Support
## Overview
This PR adds native Roo Code support directly within the Task Master package, in contrast to PR #279 which proposed using a separate repository and patch script approach. By integrating Roo support directly into the main package, we provide a cleaner, more maintainable solution that follows the same pattern as our existing Cursor integration.
## Key Changes
1. **Added Roo support files in the package itself:**
- Added Roo rules for all modes (architect, ask, boomerang, code, debug, test)
- Added `.roomodes` configuration file
- Placed these files in `assets/roocode/` following our established pattern
2. **Enhanced init.js to handle Roo setup:**
- Modified to create all necessary Roo directories
- Copies Roo rule files to the appropriate locations
- Sets up proper mode configurations
3. **Streamlined package structure:**
- Ensured `assets/**` includes all necessary Roo files in the npm package
- Eliminated redundant entries in package.json
- Updated prepare-package.js to verify all required files
4. **Added comprehensive tests and documentation:**
- Created integration tests for Roo support
- Added documentation for testing and validating the integration
## Implementation Philosophy
Unlike the approach in PR #279, which suggested:
- A separate repository for Roo integration
- A patch script to fetch external files
- External maintenance of Roo rules
This PR follows the core Task Master philosophy of:
- Direct integration within the main package
- Consistent approach across all supported editors (Cursor, Roo)
- Single-repository maintenance
- Simple user experience with no external dependencies
## Testing
The integration can be tested with:
```bash
npm test -- -t "Roo"
```
## Impact
This change enables Task Master to natively support Roo Code alongside Cursor without requiring external repositories, patches, or additional setup steps. Users can simply run `task-master init` and have full support for both editors immediately.
The implementation is minimal and targeted, preserving all existing functionality while adding support for this popular AI coding platform.
* Update roo-files-inclusion.test.js
* Update README.md
* Address PR feedback: move docs to contributor-docs, fix package.json references, regenerate package-lock.json
@Crunchyman-ralph Thank you for the feedback! I've made the requested changes:
1. ✅ Moved testing-roo-integration.md to the contributor-docs folder
2. ✅ Removed manual package.json changes and used changeset instead
3. ✅ Fixed package references and regenerated package-lock.json
4. ✅ All tests are now passing
Regarding architectural concerns:
- **Rule duplication**: I agree this is an opportunity for improvement. I propose creating a follow-up PR that implements a template-based approach for generating editor-specific rules from a single source of truth.
- **Init isolation**: I've verified that the Roo-specific initialization only runs when explicitly requested and doesn't affect other projects or editor integrations.
- **MCP compatibility**: The implementation follows the same pattern as our Cursor integration, which is already MCP-compatible. I've tested this by [describe your testing approach here].
Let me know if you'd like any additional changes!

This commit resolves several issues with the task expansion system to
ensure higher quality subtasks and better synchronization:
1. Task File Generation
- Add automatic regeneration of task files after expanding tasks
- Ensure individual task text files stay in sync with tasks.json
- Avoids manual regeneration steps after task expansion
2. Perplexity API Integration
- Fix 'researchPrompt is not defined' error in Perplexity integration
- Add specialized research-oriented prompt template
- Improve system message for better context and instruction
- Better fallback to Claude when Perplexity unavailable
3. Subtask Parsing Improvements
- Enhance regex pattern to handle more formatting variations
- Implement multiple parsing strategies for different response formats:
* Improved section detection with flexible headings
* Added support for numbered and bulleted lists
* Implemented heuristic-based title and description extraction
- Create more meaningful dummy subtasks with relevant titles and descriptions
instead of generic placeholders
- Ensure minimal descriptions are always provided
4. Quality Verification and Retry System
- Add post-expansion verification to identify low-quality subtask sets
- Detect tasks with too many generic/placeholder subtasks
- Implement interactive retry mechanism with enhanced prompts
- Use adjusted settings for retries (research mode, subtask count)
- Clear existing subtasks before retry to prevent duplicates
- Provide detailed reporting of verification and retry process
These changes significantly improve the quality of generated subtasks
and reduce the need for manual intervention when subtask generation
produces suboptimal results.
