- Fixed MCP server initialization warnings by refactoring config-manager.js to handle missing project roots silently during startup
- Added project root tracking (loadedConfigRoot) to improve config caching and prevent unnecessary reloads
- Modified _loadAndValidateConfig to return defaults without warnings when no explicitRoot provided
- Improved getConfig to only update cache when loading config with a specific project root
- Ensured warning messages still appear when explicitly specified roots have missing/invalid configs
- Prevented console output during MCP startup that was causing JSON parsing errors
- Verified parse_prd and other MCP tools still work correctly with the new config loading approach.
- Replaces test perplexity api key in mcp.json and rolls it. It's invalid now.
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provider (src/ai-providers/anthropic.js) to use the standard 'anthropic-version' header instead of potentially outdated/incorrect beta headers when creating the client instance.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
This commit implements several related improvements to the models command and configuration system:
- Added MCP support for the models command:
- Created new direct function implementation in models.js
- Registered modelsDirect in task-master-core.js for proper export
- Added models tool registration in tools/index.js
- Ensured project name replacement when copying .taskmasterconfig in init.js
- Improved .taskmasterconfig copying during project initialization:
- Added copyTemplateFile() call in createProjectStructure()
- Ensured project name is properly replaced in the config
- Restructured tool registration in logical workflow groups:
- Organized registration into 6 functional categories
- Improved command ordering to follow typical workflow
- Added clear group comments for maintainability
- Enhanced documentation in cursor rules:
- Updated dev_workflow.mdc with clearer config management instructions
- Added comprehensive models command reference to taskmaster.mdc
- Clarified CLI vs MCP usage patterns and options
- Added warning against manual .taskmasterconfig editing
* 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!

- 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.
BREAKING CHANGE: Taskmaster now requires a `.taskmasterconfig` file for model/parameter settings. Environment variables (except API keys) are no longer used for overrides.
- Throws an error if `.taskmasterconfig` is missing, guiding user to run `task-master models --setup`." -m "- Removed env var checks from config getters in `config-manager.js`." -m "- Updated `env.example` to remove obsolete variables." -m "- Refined missing config file error message in `commands.js`.
The interactive model setup triggered by `task-master models --setup` was previously attempting to call non-existent setter functions (`setMainModel`, etc.) in `config-manager.js`, leading to errors and preventing configuration updates.
This commit refactors the `--setup` logic within the `models` command handler in `scripts/modules/commands.js`. It now correctly:
- Loads the current configuration using `getConfig()`." -m "- Updates the appropriate sections of the loaded configuration object based on user selections from `inquirer`." -m "- Saves the modified configuration using the existing `writeConfig()` function from `config-manager.js`." -m "- Handles disabling the fallback model correctly."
This commit centralizes configuration and environment variable access across various modules by consistently utilizing getters from scripts/modules/config-manager.js. This replaces direct access to process.env and the global CONFIG object, leading to improved consistency, maintainability, testability, and better handling of session-specific configurations within the MCP context.
Key changes include:
- Centralized Getters: Replaced numerous instances of process.env.* and CONFIG.* with corresponding getter functions (e.g., getLogLevel, getMainModelId, getResearchMaxTokens, getMainTemperature, isApiKeySet, getDebugFlag, getDefaultSubtasks).
- Session Awareness: Ensured that the session object is passed to config getters where necessary, particularly within AI service calls (ai-services.js, add-task.js) and error handling (ai-services.js), allowing for session-specific environment overrides.
- API Key Checks: Standardized API key availability checks using isApiKeySet() instead of directly checking process.env.* (e.g., for Perplexity in commands.js and ai-services.js).
- Client Instantiation Cleanup: Removed now-redundant/obsolete local client instantiation functions (getAnthropicClient, getPerplexityClient) from ai-services.js and the global Anthropic client initialization from dependency-manager.js. Client creation should now rely on the config manager and factory patterns.
- Consistent Debug Flag Usage: Standardized calls to getDebugFlag() in commands.js, removing potentially unnecessary null arguments.
- Accurate Progress Calculation: Updated AI stream progress reporting (ai-services.js, add-task.js) to use getMainMaxTokens(session) for more accurate calculations.
- Minor Cleanup: Removed unused import from scripts/modules/commands.js.
Specific module updates:
- :
- Uses getLogLevel() instead of process.env.LOG_LEVEL.
- :
- Replaced direct env/config access for model IDs, tokens, temperature, API keys, and default subtasks with appropriate getters.
- Passed session to handleClaudeError.
- Removed local getPerplexityClient and getAnthropicClient functions.
- Updated progress calculations to use getMainMaxTokens(session).
- :
- Uses isApiKeySet('perplexity') for API key checks.
- Uses getDebugFlag() consistently for debug checks.
- Removed unused import.
- :
- Removed global Anthropic client initialization.
- :
- Uses config getters (getResearch..., getMain...) for Perplexity and Claude API call parameters, preserving customEnv override logic.
This refactoring also resolves a potential SyntaxError: Identifier 'getPerplexityClient' has already been declared by removing the duplicated/obsolete function definition previously present in ai-services.js.
This commit focuses on standardizing configuration and API key access patterns across key modules as part of subtask 61.34.
Key changes include:
- Refactored `ai-services.js` to remove global AI clients and use `resolveEnvVariable` for API key checks. Client instantiation now relies on `getAnthropicClient`/`getPerplexityClient` accepting a session object.
- Refactored `task-manager.js` (`analyzeTaskComplexity` function) to use the unified `generateTextService` from `ai-services-unified.js`, removing direct AI client calls.
- Replaced direct `process.env` access for model parameters and other configurations (`PERPLEXITY_MODEL`, `CONFIG.*`) in `task-manager.js` with calls to the appropriate getters from `config-manager.js` (e.g., `getResearchModelId(session)`, `getMainMaxTokens(session)`).
- Ensured `utils.js` (`resolveEnvVariable`) correctly handles potentially undefined session objects.
- Updated function signatures where necessary to propagate the `session` object for correct context-aware configuration/key retrieval.
This moves towards the goal of using `ai-client-factory.js` and `ai-services-unified.js` as the standard pattern for AI interactions and centralizing configuration management through `config-manager.js`.
- Integrate for Grok models and for OpenRouter into the AI client factory ().
- Install necessary provider dependencies (, , and other related packages, updated core).
- Update environment variable checks () and client creation logic () for the new providers.
- Add and correct unit tests in to cover xAI and OpenRouter instantiation, error handling, and environment variable resolution.
- Corrected mock paths and names in tests to align with official package names.
- Verify all tests (28 total) pass for .
- Confirm test coverage remains high (~90%) after additions.

Introduces a configurable fallback model and adds support for additional AI provider API keys in the environment setup.
- **Add Fallback Model Configuration (.taskmasterconfig):**
- Implemented a new section in .
- Configured as the default fallback model, enhancing resilience if the primary model fails.
- **Update Default Model Configuration (.taskmasterconfig):**
- Changed the default model to .
- Changed the default model to .
- **Add API Key Examples (assets/env.example):**
- Added example environment variables for:
- (for OpenAI/OpenRouter)
- (for Google Gemini)
- (for XAI Grok)
- Included format comments for clarity.
Refactored `config-manager.js` to handle different execution contexts (CLI vs. MCP) and fixed related Jest tests.
- Modified `readConfig` and `writeConfig` to accept an optional `explicitRoot` parameter, allowing explicit path specification (e.g., from MCP) while retaining automatic project root finding for CLI usage.
- Updated getter/setter functions (`getMainProvider`, `setMainModel`, etc.) to accept and propagate the `explicitRoot`.
- Resolved Jest testing issues for dynamic imports by using `jest.unstable_mockModule` for `fs` and `chalk` dependencies *before* the dynamic `import()`.
- Corrected console error assertions in tests to match exact logged messages.
- Updated `.cursor/rules/tests.mdc` with guidelines for `jest.unstable_mockModule` and precise console assertions.
Addresses `process.stdout.clearLine is not a function` error when running AI-dependent commands non-interactively (e.g., `update-subtask`).
Adds `process.stdout.isTTY` check before attempting to use terminal-specific output manipulations.
feat: Implement initial config manager for AI models
Adds `scripts/modules/config-manager.js` to handle reading/writing model selections from/to `.taskmasterconfig`.
Implements core functions: findProjectRoot, read/writeConfig, validateModel, get/setModel.
Defines valid model lists. Completes initial work for Subtask 61.1.
The function used terminal manipulation functions
(like , ) for the CLI
streaming progress indicator. This caused errors when Task Master commands
involving AI streaming were run in non-interactive terminals (e.g., via
output redirection, some CI environments, or integrated terminals).
This commit adds a check for to the condition
that controls the display of the CLI progress indicator, ensuring these
functions are only called when standard output is a fully interactive TTY.
Improves the quality and relevance of research-backed AI operations:
- Tweaks Perplexity AI calls to use max input tokens (8700), temperature 0.1, high context size, and day-fresh search recency.
- Adds a system prompt to guide Perplexity research output.
Docs:
- Updates CLI examples in taskmaster.mdc to use ANSI-C quoting ($'...') for multi-line prompts, ensuring they work correctly in bash/zsh.
Centralizes init command logic within the main CLI structure. The action handler in commands.js now directly calls initializeProject from the init.js module, resolving issues with argument parsing (like -y) and removing the need for the separate bin/task-master-init.js executable. Updates package.json and bin/task-master.js accordingly.
- Add support for --title/-t and --description/-d flags in add-task command
- Fix validation for manual creation mode (title + description)
- Implement proper testing for both prompt and manual creation modes
- Update testing documentation with Commander.js testing best practices
- Add guidance on handling variable hoisting and module initialization issues
Changeset: brave-doors-open.md
- Fix expand-all command bugs that caused NaN errors with --all option and JSON formatting errors with research enabled
- Improve error handling to provide clear feedback when subtask generation fails
- Include task IDs and actionable suggestions in error messages
- Refactor for more reliable project root detection, particularly when running within integrated environments like Cursor IDE. Includes deriving root from script path and avoiding fallback to '/'.
- Enhance error handling in :
- Add detailed debug information (paths searched, CWD, etc.) to the error message when is not found in the provided project root.
- Improve clarity of error messages and potential solutions.
- Add verbose logging in to trace session object content and the finally resolved project root path, aiding in debugging path-related issues.
- Add default values for and to the example environment configuration.
- Add cancelled status to UI module for marking tasks cancelled without deletion
- Improve MCP server resource documentation with implementation examples
- Update architecture.mdc with detailed resource management info
- Add comprehensive resource handling guide to mcp.mdc
- Update changeset to reflect new features and documentation
- Mark task 23.6 as cancelled (MCP SDK integration no longer needed)
- Complete task 23.12 (structured logging system)
