- 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.
Adds a new CLI command and MCP tool to reorganize tasks and subtasks within the hierarchy. Features include:
- Moving tasks between different positions in the task list
- Converting tasks to subtasks and vice versa
- Moving subtasks between parents
- Moving multiple tasks at once with comma-separated IDs
- Creating placeholder tasks when moving to new IDs
- Validation to prevent accidental data loss
This is particularly useful for resolving merge conflicts when multiple team members create tasks on different branches.
This commit updates all relevant documentation (READMEs, docs/*, .cursor/rules) to accurately reflect the finalized unified AI service architecture and the new configuration system (.taskmasterconfig + .env/mcp.json). It also includes the final code cleanup steps related to the refactoring.
Key Changes:
1. **Documentation Updates:**
* Revised `README.md`, `README-task-master.md`, `assets/scripts_README.md`, `docs/configuration.md`, and `docs/tutorial.md` to explain the new configuration split (.taskmasterconfig vs .env/mcp.json).
* Updated MCP configuration examples in READMEs and tutorials to only include API keys in the `env` block.
* Added/updated examples for using the `--research` flag in `docs/command-reference.md`, `docs/examples.md`, and `docs/tutorial.md`.
* Updated `.cursor/rules/ai_services.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/dev_workflow.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/mcp.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/taskmaster.mdc`, `.cursor/rules/utilities.mdc`, and `.cursor/rules/new_features.mdc` to align with the new architecture, removing references to old patterns/files.
* Removed internal rule links from user-facing rules (`taskmaster.mdc`, `dev_workflow.mdc`, `self_improve.mdc`).
* Deleted outdated example file `docs/ai-client-utils-example.md`.
2. **Final Code Refactor & Cleanup:**
* Corrected `update-task-by-id.js` by removing the last import from the old `ai-services.js`.
* Refactored `update-subtask-by-id.js` to correctly use the unified service and logger patterns.
* Removed the obsolete export block from `mcp-server/src/core/task-master-core.js`.
* Corrected logger implementation in `update-tasks.js` for CLI context.
* Updated API key mapping in `config-manager.js` and `ai-services-unified.js`.
3. **Configuration Files:**
* Updated API keys in `.cursor/mcp.json`, replacing `GROK_API_KEY` with `XAI_API_KEY`.
* Updated `.env.example` with current API key names.
* Added `azureOpenaiBaseUrl` to `.taskmasterconfig` example.
4. **Task Management:**
* Marked documentation subtask 61.10 as 'done'.
* Includes various other task content/status updates from the diff summary.
5. **Changeset:**
* Added `.changeset/cuddly-zebras-matter.md` for user-facing `expand`/`expand-all` improvements.
This commit concludes the major architectural refactoring (Task 61) and ensures the documentation accurately reflects the current system.
