* 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!

Refactors the initialize_project MCP tool to call a dedicated direct function (initializeProjectDirect) instead of executing the CLI command. This improves reliability and aligns it with other MCP tools.
Key changes include: Modified initialize-project.js to call initializeProjectDirect, required projectRoot parameter, implemented handleApiResult for MCP response formatting, enhanced direct function to prioritize args.projectRoot over session-derived paths, added validation to prevent initialization in invalid directories, forces yes:true for non-interactive use, ensures process.chdir() targets validated directory, and added isSilentMode() checks to suppress console output during MCP operations.
This resolves issues where the tool previously failed due to incorrect fallback directory resolution when session context was incomplete.

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.

- Enhance MCP server robustness and usability:
- Implement smart project root detection with hierarchical fallbacks
- Make projectRoot parameter optional across all MCP tools
- Add comprehensive PROJECT_MARKERS for reliable project detection
- Improve error messages and logging for better debugging
- Split monolithic core into focused direct-function files
- Implement full suite of MCP commands:
- Add task management: update-task, update-subtask, generate
- Add task organization: expand-task, expand-all, clear-subtasks
- Add dependency handling: add/remove/validate/fix dependencies
- Add analysis tools: analyze-complexity, complexity-report
- Rename commands for better API consistency (list-tasks → get-tasks)
- Enhance documentation and developer experience:
- Create and bundle new taskmaster.mdc as comprehensive reference
- Document all tools with natural language patterns and examples
- Clarify project root auto-detection in documentation
- Standardize naming conventions across MCP components
- Add cross-references between related tools and commands
- Improve UI and progress tracking:
- Add color-coded progress bars with status breakdown
- Implement cancelled/deferred task status handling
- Enhance status visualization and counting
- Optimize display for various terminal sizes
This major update significantly improves the robustness and usability
of the MCP server while providing comprehensive documentation for both
users and developers. The changes make Task Master more intuitive to
use programmatically while maintaining full CLI functionality.
