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 (, ,
Usage: mcp [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

- **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.
- 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.
