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 .

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.
Refactors parse-prd MCP tool to properly handle project root and path resolution, fixing the 'Input file not found: /scripts/prd.txt' error.
Key changes include: Made projectRoot a required parameter, prioritized args.projectRoot over session-derived paths, added validation to prevent parsing in invalid directories (/, home dir), improved error handling with detailed messages, and added creation of output directory if needed.
This resolves issues similar to those fixed in initialize-project, where the tool was incorrectly resolving paths when session context was incomplete.

Refactors parse-prd MCP tool to properly handle project root and path resolution, fixing the 'Input file not found: /scripts/prd.txt' error.
Key changes include: Made projectRoot a required parameter, prioritized args.projectRoot over session-derived paths, added validation to prevent parsing in invalid directories (/, home dir), improved error handling with detailed messages, and added creation of output directory if needed.
This resolves issues similar to those fixed in initialize-project, where the tool was incorrectly resolving paths when session context was incomplete.
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 `mcp-server/src/tools/initialize-project.js` to call `initializeProjectDirect`.
- Updated the tool's Zod schema to require the `projectRoot` parameter.
- Implemented `handleApiResult` for consistent MCP response formatting.
- Enhanced `mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/initialize-project-direct.js`:
- Prioritizes `args.projectRoot` over session-derived paths for determining the target directory.
- Added validation to prevent initialization attempts in invalid directories (e.g., '/', home directory).
- Forces `yes: true` when calling the core `initializeProject` function for non-interactive use.
- Ensures `process.chdir()` targets the validated directory.
- Added more robust `isSilentMode()` checks in core modules (`utils.js`, `init.js`) to suppress console output during MCP operations.
This resolves issues where the tool previously failed due to incorrect fallback directory resolution (e.g., initializing in '/') when session context was incomplete.
