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
* fix: claude-4 not having the right max_tokens
* feat: add bedrock support
* chore: fix package-lock.json
* fix: rename baseUrl to baseURL
* feat: add azure support
* fix: final touches of azure integration
* feat: add google vertex provider
* chore: fix tests and refactor task-manager.test.js
* chore: move task 92 to 94
* Fix: Correct version resolution for banner and update check
Resolves issues where the tool's version was displayed as 'unknown'.
- Modified 'displayBanner' in 'ui.js' and 'checkForUpdate' in 'commands.js' to read package.json relative to their own script locations using import.meta.url.
- This ensures the correct local version is identified for both the main banner display and the update notification mechanism.
- Restored a missing closing brace in 'ui.js' to fix a SyntaxError.
* fix: refactor and cleanup
* fix: chores and cleanup and testing
* chore: cleanup
* fix: add changeset

This commit introduces several improvements to AI interactions and
task management functionalities:
- AI Provider Enhancements (for Telemetry & Robustness):
- :
- Added a check in to ensure
is a string, throwing an error if not. This prevents downstream
errors (e.g., in ).
- , , :
- Standardized return structures for their respective
and functions to consistently include /
and fields. This aligns them with other providers (like
Anthropic, Google, Perplexity) for consistent telemetry data
collection, as part of implementing subtask 77.14 and similar work.
- Task Expansion ():
- Updated to be more explicit
about using an empty array for empty to
better guide AI output.
- Implemented a pre-emptive cleanup step in
to replace malformed with
before JSON parsing. This improves resilience to AI output quirks,
particularly observed with Perplexity.
- Adjusts issue in commands.js where successfulRemovals would be undefined. It's properly invoked from the result variable now.
- Updates supported models for Gemini
These changes address issues observed during E2E tests, enhance the
reliability of AI-driven task analysis and expansion, and promote
consistent telemetry data across multiple AI providers.
This commit updates the Perplexity AI provider () to ensure its functions return data in a structure consistent with other providers and the expectations of the unified AI service layer ().
Specifically:
- now returns an object instead of only the text string.
- now returns an object instead of only the result object.
These changes ensure that can correctly extract both the primary AI-generated content and the token usage data for telemetry purposes when Perplexity models are used. This resolves issues encountered during E2E testing where complexity analysis (which can use Perplexity for its research role) failed due to unexpected response formats.
The function was already compliant.
This commit introduces two key improvements:
1. **Google Provider Telemetry:**
- Updated to include token usage data (, ) in the responses from and .
- This aligns the Google provider with others for consistent AI usage telemetry.
2. **Robust AI Object Response Handling:**
- Modified to more flexibly handle responses from .
- The add-task module now check for the AI-generated object in both and , improving compatibility with different AI provider response structures (e.g., Gemini).
These changes enhance the reliability of AI interactions, particularly with the Google provider, and ensure accurate telemetry collection.
This commit introduces a standardized pattern for capturing and propagating AI usage telemetry (cost, tokens, model used) across the Task Master stack and applies it to the 'add-task' functionality.
Key changes include:
- **Telemetry Pattern Definition:**
- Added defining the integration pattern for core logic, direct functions, MCP tools, and CLI commands.
- Updated related rules (, ,

- **Core Telemetry Implementation ():**
- Refactored the unified AI service to generate and return a object alongside the main AI result.
- Fixed an MCP server startup crash by removing redundant local loading of and instead using the imported from for cost calculations.
- Added to the object.
- ** Integration:**
- Modified (core) to receive from the AI service, return it, and call the new UI display function for CLI output.
- Updated to receive from the core function and include it in the payload of its response.
- Ensured (MCP tool) correctly passes the through via .
- Updated to correctly pass context (, ) to the core function and rely on it for CLI telemetry display.
- **UI Enhancement:**
- Added function to to show telemetry details in the CLI.
- **Project Management:**
- Added subtasks 77.6 through 77.12 to track the rollout of this telemetry pattern to other AI-powered commands (, , , , , , ).
This establishes the foundation for tracking AI usage across the application.
Integrates the OpenRouter AI provider using the Vercel AI SDK adapter (@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider). This allows users to configure and utilize models available through the OpenRouter platform.
- Added src/ai-providers/openrouter.js with standard Vercel AI SDK wrapper functions (generateText, streamText, generateObject).
- Updated ai-services-unified.js to include the OpenRouter provider in the PROVIDER_FUNCTIONS map and API key resolution logic.
- Verified config-manager.js handles OpenRouter API key checks correctly.
- Users can configure OpenRouter models via .taskmasterconfig using the task-master models command or MCP models tool. Requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
- Enhanced error handling in ai-services-unified.js to provide clearer messages when generateObjectService fails due to lack of underlying tool support in the selected model/provider endpoint.
Integrates the xAI provider into the unified AI service layer, allowing the use of Grok models (e.g., grok-3, grok-3-mini).
Changes include:
- Added dependency.
- Created with implementations for generateText, streamText, and generateObject (stubbed).
- Updated to include the xAI provider in the function map.
- Updated to recognize the 'xai' provider and the environment variable.
- Updated to include known Grok models and their capabilities (object generation marked as likely unsupported).
- Add OpenAI provider implementation using @ai-sdk/openai.\n- Update `models` command/tool to display API key status for configured providers.\n- Implement model-specific `maxTokens` override logic in `config-manager.js` using `supported-models.json`.\n- Improve AI error message parsing in `ai-services-unified.js` for better clarity.
Resolves persistent 404 'Not Found' errors when calling Anthropic models via the Vercel AI SDK. The primary issue was likely related to incorrect or missing API headers.
- Refactors Anthropic provider (src/ai-providers/anthropic.js) to use the standard 'anthropic-version' header instead of potentially outdated/incorrect beta headers when creating the client instance.
- Updates the default fallback model ID in .taskmasterconfig to 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022'.
- Fixes the interactive model setup (task-master models --setup) in scripts/modules/commands.js to correctly filter and default the main model selection.
- Improves the cost display in the 'task-master models' command output to explicitly show 'Free' for models with zero cost.
- Updates description for the 'id' parameter in the 'set_task_status' MCP tool definition for clarity.
- Updates list of models and costs
- Unified Service: Introduced 'scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js' to centralize AI interactions using provider modules ('src/ai-providers/') and the Vercel AI SDK.
- Provider Modules: Implemented 'anthropic.js' and 'perplexity.js' wrappers for Vercel SDK.
- 'updateSubtaskById' Fix: Refactored the AI call within 'updateSubtaskById' to use 'generateTextService' from the unified layer, resolving runtime errors related to parameter passing and streaming. This serves as the pattern for refactoring other AI calls in 'scripts/modules/task-manager/'.
- Task Status: Marked Subtask 61.19 as 'done'.
- Rules: Added new 'ai-services.mdc' rule.
This centralizes AI logic, replacing previous direct SDK calls and custom implementations. API keys are resolved via 'resolveEnvVariable' within the service layer. The refactoring of 'updateSubtaskById' establishes the standard approach for migrating other AI-dependent functions in the task manager module to use the unified service.
Relates to Task 61.
