* fix(ai-providers): change generateObject mode from 'tool' to 'auto' for better provider compatibility

Fixes Perplexity research role failing with 'tool-mode object generation' error

The hardcoded 'tool' mode was incompatible with providers like Perplexity that support structured JSON output but not function calling/tool use

Using 'auto' mode allows the AI SDK to choose the best approach for each provider

* Adds qwen3-235n-a22b:free to supported models. Closes #687)

* chore: adds a warning when custom openrouter model is a free model which suffers from lower rate limits, restricted context, and, worst of all, no access to tool_use.

* refactor: enhance add-task fuzzy search and fix duplicate banner display

- **Remove hardcoded category system** in add-task that always matched 'Task management'
- **Eliminate arbitrary limits** in fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
- **Improve semantic weighting** in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
- **Fix duplicate banner issue** by removing console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
- **Enhance context generation** to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
- **Preserve terminal history** to address GitHub issue #553 about eating terminal lines
- **Remove displayBanner() calls** from: displayHelp, displayNextTask, displayTaskById, displayComplexityReport, set-task-status, clear-subtasks, dependency-manager functions

The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic similarity rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner terminal experience.

Changes span: add-task.js, ui.js, set-task-status.js, clear-subtasks.js, list-tasks.js, dependency-manager.js

Closes #553

* feat(tags): Implement tagged task lists migration system (Part 1/2)

This commit introduces the foundational infrastructure for tagged task lists,
enabling multi-context task management without remote storage to prevent merge conflicts.

CORE ARCHITECTURE:
• Silent migration system transforms tasks.json from old format { "tasks": [...] }
  to new tagged format { "master": { "tasks": [...] } }
• Tag resolution layer provides complete backward compatibility - existing code continues to work
• Automatic configuration and state management for seamless user experience

SILENT MIGRATION SYSTEM:
• Automatic detection and migration of legacy tasks.json format
• Complete project migration: tasks.json + config.json + state.json
• Transparent tag resolution returns old format to maintain compatibility
• Zero breaking changes - all existing functionality preserved

CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT:
• Added global.defaultTag setting (defaults to 'master')
• New tags section with gitIntegration placeholders for future features
• Automatic config.json migration during first run
• Proper state.json creation with migration tracking

USER EXPERIENCE:
• Clean, one-time FYI notice after migration (no emojis, professional styling)
• Notice appears after 'Suggested Next Steps' and is tracked in state.json
• Silent operation - users unaware migration occurred unless explicitly shown

TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
• Enhanced readJSON() with automatic migration detection and processing
• New utility functions: getCurrentTag(), resolveTag(), getTasksForTag(), setTasksForTag()
• Complete migration orchestration via performCompleteTagMigration()
• Robust error handling and fallback mechanisms

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY:
• 100% backward compatibility maintained
• Existing CLI commands and MCP tools continue to work unchanged
• Legacy tasks.json format automatically upgraded on first read
• All existing workflows preserved

TESTING VERIFIED:
• Complete migration from legacy state works correctly
• Config.json properly updated with tagged system settings
• State.json created with correct initial values
• Migration notice system functions as designed
• All existing functionality continues to work normally

Part 2 will implement tag management commands (add-tag, use-tag, list-tags)
and MCP tool updates for full tagged task system functionality.

Related: Task 103 - Implement Tagged Task Lists System for Multi-Context Task Management

* docs: Update documentation and rules for tagged task lists system

- Updated task-structure.md with comprehensive tagged format explanation
- Updated all .cursor/rules/*.mdc files to reflect tagged system
- Completed subtask 103.16: Update Documentation for Tagged Task Lists System

* feat(mcp): Add tagInfo to responses and integrate ContextGatherer

Enhances the MCP server to include 'tagInfo' (currentTag, availableTags) in all tool responses, providing better client-side context.

- Introduces a new 'ContextGatherer' utility to standardize the collection of file, task, and project context for AI-powered commands. This refactors several task-manager modules ('expand-task', 'research', 'update-task', etc.) to use the new utility.

- Fixes an issue in 'get-task' and 'get-tasks' MCP tools where the 'projectRoot' was not being passed correctly, preventing tag information from being included in their responses.

- Adds subtask '103.17' to track the implementation of the task template importing feature.

- Updates documentation ('.cursor/rules', 'docs/') to align with the new tagged task system and context gatherer logic.

* fix: include tagInfo in AI service responses for MCP tools

- Update all core functions that call AI services to extract and return tagInfo
- Update all direct functions to include tagInfo in MCP response data
- Fixes issue where add_task, expand_task, and other AI commands were not including current tag and available tags information
- tagInfo includes currentTag from state.json and availableTags list
- Ensures tagged task lists system information is properly propagated through the full chain: AI service -> core function -> direct function -> MCP client

* fix(move-task): Update move functionality for tagged task system compatibility

- incorporate GitHub commit fixes and resolve readJSON data handling

* feat(tagged-tasks): Complete core tag management system implementation

- Implements comprehensive tagged task lists system for multi-context task management including core tag management functions (Task 103.11), MCP integration updates, and foundational infrastructure for tagged task operations. Features tag CRUD operations, validation, metadata tracking, deep task copying, and full backward compatibility.

* fix(core): Fixed move-task.js writing _rawTaggedData directly, updated writeJSON to filter tag fields, fixed CLI move command missing projectRoot, added ensureTagMetadata utility

* fix(tasks): ensure list tasks triggers silent migration if necessary.

* feat(tags): Complete show and add-task command tag support
- show command: Added --tag flag, fixed projectRoot passing to UI functions
- add-task command: Already had proper tag support and projectRoot handling
- Both commands now work correctly with tagged task lists system
- Migration logic works properly when viewing and adding tasks
- Updated subtask 103.5 with progress on high-priority command fixes

* fix(tags): Clean up rogue created properties and fix taskCount calculation
- Enhanced writeJSON to automatically filter rogue created/description properties from tag objects
- Fixed tags command error by making taskCount calculation dynamic instead of hardcoded
- Cleaned up existing rogue created property in master tag through forced write operation
- All created properties now properly located in metadata objects only
- Tags command working perfectly with proper task count display
- Data integrity maintained with automatic cleanup during write operations

* fix(tags): Resolve critical tag deletion and migration notice bugs

Major Issues Fixed:

1. Tag Deletion Bug: Fixed critical issue where creating subtasks would delete other tags

   - Root cause: writeJSON function wasn't accepting projectRoot/tag parameters

   - Fixed writeJSON signature and logic to handle tagged data structure

   - Added proper merging of resolved tag data back into full tagged structure

2. Persistent Migration Notice: Fixed FYI notice showing after every command

   - Root cause: markMigrationForNotice was resetting migrationNoticeShown to false

   - Fixed migration logic to only trigger on actual legacy->tagged migrations

   - Added proper _rawTaggedData checks to prevent false migration detection

3. Data Corruption Prevention: Enhanced data integrity safeguards

   - Fixed writeJSON to filter out internal properties

   - Added automatic cleanup of rogue properties

   - Improved hasTaggedStructure detection logic

Commands Fixed: add-subtask, remove-subtask, and all commands now preserve tags correctly

* fix(tags): Resolve tag deletion bug in remove-task command

Refactored the core 'removeTask' function to be fully tag-aware, preventing data corruption.

- The function now correctly reads the full tagged data structure by prioritizing '_rawTaggedData' instead of operating on a resolved single-tag view.

- All subsequent operations (task removal, dependency cleanup, file writing) now correctly reference the full multi-tag data object, preserving the integrity of 'tasks.json'.

- This resolves the critical bug where removing a task would delete all other tags.

* fix(tasks): Ensure new task IDs are sequential within the target tag

Modified the ID generation logic in 'add-task.js' to calculate the next task ID based on the highest ID within the specified tag, rather than globally across all tags.

This fixes a critical bug where creating a task in a new tag would result in a high, non-sequential ID, such as ID 105 for the first task in a tag.

* fix(commands): Add missing context parameters to dependency and remove-subtask commands

- Add projectRoot and tag context to all dependency commands
- Add projectRoot and tag context to remove-subtask command
- Add --tag option to remove-subtask command
- Fixes critical bug where remove-subtask was deleting other tags due to missing context
- All dependency and subtask commands now properly handle tagged task lists

* feat(tags): Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management
- parse-prd now supports creating tasks in specific contexts
- Fixed tag preservation logic to prevent data loss
- analyze-complexity generates tag-specific reports
- Non-existent tags created automatically
- Enables rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows

* feat(tags): Complete tagged task lists system with enhanced use-tag command

- Multi-context task management with full CLI support
- Enhanced use-tag command shows next available task after switching
- Universal --tag flag support across all commands
- Seamless migration with zero disruption
- Complete tag management suite (add, delete, rename, copy, list)
- Smart confirmation logic and data integrity protection
- State management and configuration integration
- Real-world use cases for teams, features, and releases

* feat(tags): Complete tag support for remaining CLI commands

- Add --tag flag to update, move, and set-status commands
- Ensure all task operation commands now support tag context
- Fix missing tag context passing to core functions
- Complete comprehensive tag-aware command coverage

* feat(ui): add tag indicator to all CLI commands
- shows 🏷️ tag: tagname for complete context visibility across 15+ commands

* fix(ui): resolve dependency 'Not found' issue when filtering

- now correctly displays dependencies that exist but are filtered out of view

* feat(research): Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with interactive follow-ups, save functionality, intelligent context gathering, fuzzy task discovery, multi-source context support, enhanced display with syntax highlighting, clean inquirer menus, comprehensive help, and MCP integration with saveTo parameter

* feat(tags): Implement full MCP support for Tagged Task Lists and update-task append mode

* chore: task management

* feat(research): Enhance research command with follow-up menu, save functionality, and fix ContextGatherer token counting

* feat(git-workflow): Add automatic git branch-tag integration

- Implement automatic tag creation when switching to new git branches

- Add branch-tag mapping system for seamless context switching

- Enable auto-switch of task contexts based on current git branch

- Provide isolated task contexts per branch to prevent merge conflicts

- Add configuration support for enabling/disabling git workflow features

- Fix ES module compatibility issues in git-utils module

- Maintain zero migration impact with automatic 'master' tag creation

- Support parallel development with branch-specific task contexts

The git workflow system automatically detects branch changes and creates corresponding empty task tags, enabling developers to maintain separate task contexts for different features/branches while preventing task-related merge conflicts during collaborative development.

Resolves git workflow integration requirements for multi-context development.

* feat(git-workflow): Simplify git integration with --from-branch option

- Remove automatic git workflow and branch-tag switching - we are not ready for it yet

- Add --from-branch option to add-tag command for manual tag creation from git branch

- Remove git workflow configuration from config.json and assets

- Disable automatic tag switching functions in git-utils.js

- Add createTagFromBranch function for branch-based tag creation

- Support both CLI and MCP interfaces for --from-branch functionality

- Fix ES module imports in git-utils.js and utils.js

- Maintain user control over tag contexts without forced automation

The simplified approach allows users to create tags from their current git branch when desired, without the complexity and rigidity of automatic branch-tag synchronization. Users maintain full control over their tag contexts while having convenient tools for git-based workflows when needed.

* docs: Update rule files to reflect simplified git integration approach

- Remove automatic git workflow features, update to manual --from-branch option, change Part 2 references to completed status

* fix(commands): Fix add-tag --from-branch requiring tagName argument
- Made tagName optional when using --from-branch - Added validation for either tagName or --from-branch
- Fixes 'missing required argument' error with --from-branch option

* fix(mcp): Prevent tag deletion on subtask update

Adds a safety net to the writeJSON utility to prevent data loss when updating subtasks via the MCP server.

The MCP process was inadvertently causing the _rawTaggedData property, which holds the complete multi-tag structure, to be lost. When writeJSON received the data for only a single tag, it would overwrite the entire tasks.json file, deleting all other tags.

This fix makes writeJSON more robust. If it receives data that looks like a single, resolved tag without the complete structure, it re-reads the full tasks.json file from disk. It then carefully merges the updated data back into the correct tag within the full structure, preserving all other tags.

* fix: resolve all remaining test failures and improve test reliability

- Fix clear-subtasks test by implementing deep copy of mock data to prevent mutation issues between tests
- Fix add-task test by uncommenting and properly configuring generateTaskFiles call with correct parameters
- Fix analyze-task-complexity tests by properly mocking fs.writeFileSync with shared mock function
- Update test expectations to match actual function signatures and data structures
- Improve mock setup consistency across all test suites
- Ensure all tests now pass (329 total: 318 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed)

Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with intelligent context gathering and interactive follow-ups.
The new `research` command provides AI-powered research capabilities that automatically gather relevant project context to answer your questions. The command intelligently selects context from multiple sources and supports interactive follow-up questions in CLI mode.
**Key Features:**
- **Intelligent Task Discovery**: Automatically finds relevant tasks and subtasks using fuzzy search based on your query keywords, supplementing any explicitly provided task IDs
- **Multi-Source Context**: Gathers context from tasks, files, project structure, and custom text to provide comprehensive answers
- **Interactive Follow-ups**: CLI users can ask follow-up questions that build on the conversation history while allowing fresh context discovery for each question
- **Flexible Detail Levels**: Choose from low (concise), medium (balanced), or high (comprehensive) response detail levels
- **Token Transparency**: Displays detailed token breakdown showing context size, sources, and estimated costs
- **Enhanced Display**: Syntax-highlighted code blocks and structured output with clear visual separation
**Usage Examples:**
```bash
# Basic research with auto-discovered context
task-master research "How should I implement user authentication?"
# Research with specific task context
task-master research "What's the best approach for this?" --id=15,23.2
# Research with file context and project tree
task-master research "How does the current auth system work?" --files=src/auth.js,config/auth.json --tree
# Research with custom context and low detail
task-master research "Quick implementation steps?" --context="Using JWT tokens" --detail=low
```
**Context Sources:**
- **Tasks**: Automatically discovers relevant tasks/subtasks via fuzzy search, plus any explicitly specified via `--id`
- **Files**: Include specific files via `--files` for code-aware responses
- **Project Tree**: Add `--tree` to include project structure overview
- **Custom Context**: Provide additional context via `--context` for domain-specific information
**Interactive Features (CLI only):**
- Follow-up questions that maintain conversation history
- Fresh fuzzy search for each follow-up to discover newly relevant tasks
- Cumulative context building across the conversation
- Clean visual separation between exchanges
- **Save to Tasks**: Save entire research conversations (including follow-ups) directly to task or subtask details with timestamps
- **Clean Menu Interface**: Streamlined inquirer-based menu for follow-up actions without redundant UI elements
**Save Functionality:**
The research command now supports saving complete conversation threads to tasks or subtasks:
- Save research results and follow-up conversations to any task (e.g., "15") or subtask (e.g., "15.2")
- Automatic timestamping and formatting of conversation history
- Validation of task/subtask existence before saving
- Appends to existing task details without overwriting content
- Supports both CLI interactive mode and MCP programmatic access via `--save-to` flag
**Enhanced CLI Options:**
```bash
# Auto-save research results to a task
task-master research "Implementation approach?" --save-to=15
# Combine auto-save with context gathering
task-master research "How to optimize this?" --id=23 --save-to=23.1
```
**MCP Integration:**
- `saveTo` parameter for automatic saving to specified task/subtask ID
- Structured response format with telemetry data

Fix critical bugs in task move functionality:
- **Fixed moving tasks to become subtasks of empty parents**: When moving a task to become a subtask of a parent that had no existing subtasks (e.g., task 89 → task 98.1), the operation would fail with validation errors.
- **Fixed moving subtasks between parents**: Subtasks can now be properly moved between different parent tasks, including to parents that previously had no subtasks.
- **Improved comma-separated batch moves**: Multiple tasks can now be moved simultaneously using comma-separated IDs (e.g., "88,90" → "92,93") with proper error handling and atomic operations.
These fixes enables proper task hierarchy reorganization for corner cases that were previously broken.

Enhance update-task with --append flag for timestamped task updates
Adds the `--append` flag to `update-task` command, enabling it to behave like `update-subtask` with timestamped information appending. This provides more flexible task updating options:
**CLI Enhancement:**
- `task-master update-task --id=5 --prompt="New info"` - Full task update (existing behavior)
- `task-master update-task --id=5 --append --prompt="Progress update"` - Append timestamped info to task details
**Full MCP Integration:**
- MCP tool `update_task` now supports `append` parameter
- Seamless integration with Cursor and other MCP clients
- Consistent behavior between CLI and MCP interfaces
Instead of requiring separate subtask creation for progress tracking, you can now append timestamped information directly to parent tasks while preserving the option for comprehensive task updates.

Introduces Tagged Lists: AI Multi-Context Task Management System
This major feature release introduces Tagged Lists, a comprehensive system that transforms Taskmaster into a multi-context task management powerhouse. You can now organize tasks into completely isolated contexts, enabling parallel (agentic) development workflows, team collaboration, and project experimentation without conflicts.
**🏷️ Tagged Task Lists Architecture:**
The new tagged system fundamentally improves how tasks are organized:
- **Legacy Format**: `{ "tasks": [...] }`
- **New Tagged Format**: `{ "master": { "tasks": [...], "metadata": {...} }, "feature-xyz": { "tasks": [...], "metadata": {...} } }`
- **Automatic Migration**: Existing projects will seamlessly migrate to tagged format with zero user intervention
- **State Management**: New `.taskmaster/state.json` tracks current tag, last switched time, migration status and more.
- **Configuration Integration**: Enhanced `.taskmaster/config.json` with tag-specific settings and defaults.
By default, your existing task list will be migrated to the `master` tag.
**🚀 Complete Tag Management Suite:**
**Core Tag Commands:**
- `task-master tags [--show-metadata]` - List all tags with task counts, completion stats, and metadata
- `task-master add-tag <name> [options]` - Create new tag contexts with optional task copying
- `task-master delete-tag <name> [--yes]` - Delete tags (and attached tasks) with double confirmation protection
- `task-master use-tag <name>` - Switch contexts and immediately see next available task
- `task-master rename-tag <old> <new>` - Rename tags with automatic current tag reference updates
- `task-master copy-tag <source> <target> [options]` - Duplicate tag contexts for experimentation
**🤖 Full MCP Integration for Tag Management:**
Task Master's multi-context capabilities are now fully exposed through the MCP server, enabling powerful agentic workflows:
- **`list_tags`**: List all available tag contexts.
- **`add_tag`**: Programmatically create new tags.
- **`delete_tag`**: Remove tag contexts.
- **`use_tag`**: Switch the agent's active task context.
- **`rename_tag`**: Rename existing tags.
- **`copy_tag`**: Duplicate entire task contexts for experimentation.
**Tag Creation Options:**
- `--copy-from-current` - Copy tasks from currently active tag
- `--copy-from=<tag>` - Copy tasks from specific tag
- `--from-branch` - Creates a new tag using the active git branch name (for `add-tag` only)
- `--description="<text>"` - Add custom tag descriptions
- Empty tag creation for fresh contexts
**🎯 Universal --tag Flag Support:**
Every task operation now supports tag-specific execution:
- `task-master list --tag=feature-branch` - View tasks in specific context
- `task-master add-task --tag=experiment --prompt="..."` - Create tasks in specific tag
- `task-master parse-prd document.txt --tag=v2-redesign` - Parse PRDs into dedicated contexts
- `task-master analyze-complexity --tag=performance-work` - Generate tag-specific reports
- `task-master set-status --tag=hotfix --id=5 --status=done` - Update tasks in specific contexts
- `task-master expand --tag=research --id=3` - Break down tasks within tag contexts
This way you or your agent can store out of context tasks into the appropriate tags for later, allowing you to maintain a groomed and scoped master list. Focus on value, not chores.
**📊 Enhanced Workflow Features:**
**Smart Context Switching:**
- `use-tag` command shows immediate next task after switching
- Automatic tag creation when targeting non-existent tags
- Current tag persistence across terminal sessions
- Branch-tag mapping for future Git integration
**Intelligent File Management:**
- Tag-specific complexity reports: `task-complexity-report_tagname.json`
- Master tag uses default filenames: `task-complexity-report.json`
- Automatic file isolation prevents cross-tag contamination
**Advanced Confirmation Logic:**
- Commands only prompt when target tag has existing tasks
- Empty tags allow immediate operations without confirmation
- Smart append vs overwrite detection
**🔄 Seamless Migration & Compatibility:**
**Zero-Disruption Migration:**
- Existing `tasks.json` files automatically migrate on first command
- Master tag receives proper metadata (creation date, description)
- Migration notice shown once with helpful explanation
- All existing commands work identically to before
**State Management:**
- `.taskmaster/state.json` tracks current tag and migration status
- Automatic state creation and maintenance
- Branch-tag mapping foundation for Git integration
- Migration notice tracking to avoid repeated notifications
- Grounds for future context additions
**Backward Compatibility:**
- All existing workflows continue unchanged
- Legacy commands work exactly as before
- Gradual adoption - users can ignore tags entirely if desired
- No breaking changes to existing tasks or file formats
**💡 Real-World Use Cases:**
**Team Collaboration:**
- `task-master add-tag alice --copy-from-current` - Create teammate-specific contexts
- `task-master add-tag bob --copy-from=master` - Onboard new team members
- `task-master use-tag alice` - Switch to teammate's work context
**Feature Development:**
- `task-master parse-prd feature-spec.txt --tag=user-auth` - Dedicated feature planning
- `task-master add-tag experiment --copy-from=user-auth` - Safe experimentation
- `task-master analyze-complexity --tag=user-auth` - Feature-specific analysis
**Release Management:**
- `task-master add-tag v2.0 --description="Next major release"` - Version-specific planning
- `task-master copy-tag master v2.1` - Release branch preparation
- `task-master use-tag hotfix` - Emergency fix context
**Project Phases:**
- `task-master add-tag research --description="Discovery phase"` - Research tasks
- `task-master add-tag implementation --copy-from=research` - Development phase
- `task-master add-tag testing --copy-from=implementation` - QA phase
**🛠️ Technical Implementation:**
**Data Structure:**
- Tagged format with complete isolation between contexts
- Rich metadata per tag (creation date, description, update tracking)
- Automatic metadata enhancement for existing tags
- Clean separation of tag data and internal state
**Performance Optimizations:**
- Dynamic task counting without stored counters
- Efficient tag resolution and caching
- Minimal file I/O with smart data loading
- Responsive table layouts adapting to terminal width
**Error Handling:**
- Comprehensive validation for tag names (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores)
- Reserved name protection (master, main, default)
- Graceful handling of missing tags and corrupted data
- Detailed error messages with suggested corrections
This release establishes the foundation for advanced multi-context workflows while maintaining the simplicity and power that makes Task Master effective for individual developers.

Enhanced get-task/show command to support comma-separated task IDs for efficient batch operations
**New Features:**
- **Multiple Task Retrieval**: Pass comma-separated IDs to get/show multiple tasks at once (e.g., `task-master show 1,3,5` or MCP `get_task` with `id: "1,3,5"`)
- **Smart Display Logic**: Single ID shows detailed view, multiple IDs show compact summary table with interactive options
- **Batch Action Menu**: Interactive menu for multiple tasks with copy-paste ready commands for common operations (mark as done/in-progress, expand all, view dependencies, etc.)
- **MCP Array Response**: MCP tool returns structured array of task objects for efficient AI agent context gathering
**Benefits:**
- **Faster Context Gathering**: AI agents can collect multiple tasks/subtasks in one call instead of iterating
- **Improved Workflow**: Interactive batch operations reduce repetitive command execution
- **Better UX**: Responsive layout adapts to terminal width, maintains consistency with existing UI patterns
- **API Efficiency**: RESTful array responses in MCP format enable more sophisticated integrations
This enhancement maintains full backward compatibility while significantly improving efficiency for both human users and AI agents working with multiple tasks.

Add a dependency between tasks.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse the task IDs to establish dependency relationship.
## Adding Dependencies
Creates a dependency where one task must be completed before another can start.
## Argument Parsing
Parse natural language or IDs:
- "make 5 depend on 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 needs 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 after 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
## Execution
```bash
task-master add-dependency --id=<task-id> --depends-on=<dependency-id>
```
## Validation
Before adding:
1. **Verify both tasks exist**
2. **Check for circular dependencies**
3. **Ensure dependency makes logical sense**
4. **Warn if creating complex chains**
## Smart Features
- Detect if dependency already exists
- Suggest related dependencies
- Show impact on task flow
- Update task priorities if needed
## Post-Addition
After adding dependency:
1. Show updated dependency graph
2. Identify any newly blocked tasks
3. Suggest task order changes
4. Update project timeline
## Example Flows
```
/project:tm/add-dependency 5 needs 3
→ Task #5 now depends on Task #3
→ Task #5 is now blocked until #3 completes
→ Suggested: Also consider if #5 needs #4

Add a subtask to a parent task.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse arguments to create a new subtask or convert existing task.
## Adding Subtasks
Creates subtasks to break down complex parent tasks into manageable pieces.
## Argument Parsing
Flexible natural language:
- "add subtask to 5: implement login form"
- "break down 5 with: setup, implement, test"
- "subtask for 5: handle edge cases"
- "5: validate user input" → adds subtask to task 5
## Execution Modes
### 1. Create New Subtask
```bash
task-master add-subtask --parent=<id> --title="<title>" --description="<desc>"
```
### 2. Convert Existing Task
```bash
task-master add-subtask --parent=<id> --task-id=<existing-id>
```
## Smart Features
1. **Automatic Subtask Generation**
- If title contains "and" or commas, create multiple
- Suggest common subtask patterns
- Inherit parent's context
2. **Intelligent Defaults**
- Priority based on parent
- Appropriate time estimates
- Logical dependencies between subtasks
3. **Validation**
- Check parent task complexity
- Warn if too many subtasks
- Ensure subtask makes sense
## Creation Process
1. Parse parent task context
2. Generate subtask with ID like "5.1"
3. Set appropriate defaults
4. Link to parent task
5. Update parent's time estimate
## Example Flows
```
/project:tm/add-subtask to 5: implement user authentication
→ Created subtask #5.1: "implement user authentication"
→ Parent task #5 now has 1 subtask
→ Suggested next subtasks: tests, documentation
/project:tm/add-subtask 5: setup, implement, test
→ Created 3 subtasks:
#5.1: setup
#5.2: implement
#5.3: test

Convert an existing task into a subtask.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse parent ID and task ID to convert.
## Task Conversion
Converts an existing standalone task into a subtask of another task.
## Argument Parsing
- "move task 8 under 5"
- "make 8 a subtask of 5"
- "nest 8 in 5"
- "5 8" → make task 8 a subtask of task 5
## Execution
```bash
task-master add-subtask --parent=<parent-id> --task-id=<task-to-convert>
```
## Pre-Conversion Checks
1. **Validation**
- Both tasks exist and are valid
- No circular parent relationships
- Task isn't already a subtask
- Logical hierarchy makes sense
2. **Impact Analysis**
- Dependencies that will be affected
- Tasks that depend on converting task
- Priority alignment needed
- Status compatibility
## Conversion Process
1. Change task ID from "8" to "5.1" (next available)
2. Update all dependency references
3. Inherit parent's context where appropriate
4. Adjust priorities if needed
5. Update time estimates
## Smart Features
- Preserve task history
- Maintain dependencies
- Update all references
- Create conversion log
## Example
```
/project:tm/add-subtask/from-task 5 8
→ Converting: Task #8 becomes subtask #5.1
→ Updated: 3 dependency references
→ Parent task #5 now has 1 subtask
→ Note: Subtask inherits parent's priority
Before: #8 "Implement validation" (standalone)
After: #5.1 "Implement validation" (subtask of #5)
```
## Post-Conversion
- Show new task hierarchy
- List updated dependencies
- Verify project integrity
- Suggest related conversions

### 2. **Smart Parsing Examples**
**"Add urgent task to fix login bug"**
→ Title: Fix login bug
→ Priority: high
→ Type: bug
→ Suggested complexity: medium
**"Create task for API documentation after task 23 is done"**
→ Title: API documentation
→ Dependencies: [23]
→ Type: documentation
→ Priority: medium
**"Need to refactor auth module - depends on 12 and 15, high complexity"**
→ Title: Refactor auth module
→ Dependencies: [12, 15]
→ Complexity: high
→ Type: refactor
### 3. **Context Enhancement**
Based on current project state:
- Suggest related existing tasks
- Warn about potential conflicts
- Recommend dependencies
- Propose subtasks if complex
### 4. **Interactive Refinement**
```yaml
Task Preview:
─────────────
Title: [Extracted title]
Priority: [Inferred priority]
Dependencies: [Detected dependencies]
Complexity: [Estimated complexity]
Suggestions:
- Similar task #34 exists, consider as dependency?
- This seems complex, break into subtasks?
- Tasks #45-47 work on same module
```
### 5. **Validation & Creation**
Before creating:
- Validate dependencies exist
- Check for duplicates
- Ensure logical ordering
- Verify task completeness
### 6. **Smart Defaults**
Intelligent defaults based on:
- Task type patterns
- Team conventions
- Historical data
- Current sprint/phase
Result: High-quality tasks from minimal input.

Update tasks with intelligent field detection and bulk operations.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
## Intelligent Task Updates
Parse arguments to determine update intent and execute smartly.
### 1. **Natural Language Processing**
Understand update requests like:
- "mark 23 as done" → Update status to done
- "increase priority of 45" → Set priority to high
- "add dependency on 12 to task 34" → Add dependency
- "tasks 20-25 need review" → Bulk status update
- "all API tasks high priority" → Pattern-based update
### 2. **Smart Field Detection**
Automatically detect what to update:
- Status keywords: done, complete, start, pause, review
- Priority changes: urgent, high, low, deprioritize
- Dependency updates: depends on, blocks, after
- Assignment: assign to, owner, responsible
- Time: estimate, spent, deadline
### 3. **Bulk Operations**
Support for multiple task updates:
```
Examples:
- "complete tasks 12, 15, 18"
- "all pending auth tasks to in-progress"
- "increase priority for tasks blocking 45"
- "defer all documentation tasks"
```
### 4. **Contextual Validation**
Before updating, check:
- Status transitions are valid
- Dependencies don't create cycles
- Priority changes make sense
- Bulk updates won't break project flow
Show preview:
```
Update Preview:
─────────────────
Tasks to update: #23, #24, #25
Change: status → in-progress
Impact: Will unblock tasks #30, #31
Warning: Task #24 has unmet dependencies
```
### 5. **Smart Suggestions**
Based on update:
- Completing task? → Show newly unblocked tasks
- Changing priority? → Show impact on sprint
- Adding dependency? → Check for conflicts
- Bulk update? → Show summary of changes
### 6. **Workflow Integration**
After updates:
- Auto-update dependent task states
- Trigger status recalculation
- Update sprint/milestone progress
- Log changes with context
Result: Flexible, intelligent task updates with safety checks.

### Simple Pipeline
`init → expand-all → sprint-plan`
### Conditional Pipeline
`status → if:pending>10 → sprint-plan → else → next`
### Iterative Pipeline
`for:pending-tasks → expand → complexity-check`
### Smart Pipeline Patterns
**1. Project Setup Pipeline**
```
init [prd] →
expand-all →
complexity-report →
sprint-plan →
show first-sprint
```
**2. Daily Work Pipeline**
```
standup →
if:in-progress → continue →
else → next → start
```
**3. Task Completion Pipeline**
```
complete [id] →
git-commit →
if:blocked-tasks-freed → show-freed →
next
```
**4. Quality Check Pipeline**
```
list in-progress →
for:each → check-idle-time →
if:idle>1day → prompt-update
```
### Pipeline Features
**Variables**
- Store results: `status → $count=pending-count`
- Use in conditions: `if:$count>10`
- Pass between commands: `expand $high-priority-tasks`
**Error Handling**
- On failure: `try:complete → catch:show-blockers`
- Skip on error: `optional:test-run`
- Retry logic: `retry:3:commit`
**Parallel Execution**
- Parallel branches: `[analyze | test | lint]`
- Join results: `parallel → join:report`
### Execution Flow
1. Parse pipeline specification
2. Validate command sequence
3. Execute with state passing

If no recent commands:
- Morning? → Daily standup workflow
- Many pending tasks? → Sprint planning
- Tasks blocked? → Dependency resolution
- Friday? → Weekly review
### Workflow Composition
I'll chain appropriate commands:
1. Analyze current state
2. Execute primary workflow
3. Suggest follow-up actions
4. Prepare environment for coding
### Learning Mode
This command learns from your patterns:
- Track command sequences
- Note time preferences
- Remember common workflows
- Adapt to your style

**If AI commands FAIL in CLI** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `.env` file in the root of the project.
## Rules Management
Taskmaster supports multiple AI coding assistant rule sets that can be configured during project initialization or managed afterward:
- **Available Profiles**: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Cursor, Roo Code, Trae, Windsurf (claude, cline, codex, cursor, roo, trae, windsurf)
- **During Initialization**: Use `task-master init --rules cursor,windsurf` to specify which rule sets to include
- **After Initialization**: Use `task-master rules add <profiles>` or `task-master rules remove <profiles>` to manage rule sets
- **Interactive Setup**: Use `task-master rules setup` to launch an interactive prompt for selecting rule profiles
- **Default Behavior**: If no `--rules` flag is specified during initialization, all available rule profiles are included
- **Rule Structure**: Each profile creates its own directory (e.g., `.cursor/rules`, `.roo/rules`) with appropriate configuration files
## Determining the Next Task
- Run `next_task` / `task-master next` to show the next task to work on.

# Taskmaster Development Workflow
This guide outlines the standard process for using Taskmaster to manage software development projects. It is written as a set of instructions for you, the AI agent.
- **Your Default Stance**: For most projects, the user can work directly within the `master` task context. Your initial actions should operate on this default context unless a clear pattern for multi-context work emerges.
- **Your Goal**: Your role is to elevate the user's workflow by intelligently introducing advanced features like **Tagged Task Lists** when you detect the appropriate context. Do not force tags on the user; suggest them as a helpful solution to a specific need.
## The Basic Loop
The fundamental development cycle you will facilitate is:
1. **`list`**: Show the user what needs to be done.
2. **`next`**: Help the user decide what to work on.
3. **`show <id>`**: Provide details for a specific task.
4. **`expand <id>`**: Break down a complex task into smaller, manageable subtasks.
5. **Implement**: The user writes the code and tests.
6. **`update-subtask`**: Log progress and findings on behalf of the user.
7. **`set-status`**: Mark tasks and subtasks as `done` as work is completed.
8. **Repeat**.
All your standard command executions should operate on the user's current task context, which defaults to `master`.
---
## Standard Development Workflow Process
### Simple Workflow (Default Starting Point)
For new projects or when users are getting started, operate within the `master` tag context:
- Start new projects by running `initialize_project` tool / `task-master init` or `parse_prd` / `task-master parse-prd --input='<prd-file.txt>'` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to generate initial tasks.json with tagged structure
- Configure rule sets during initialization with `--rules` flag (e.g., `task-master init --rules kiro,windsurf`) or manage them later with `task-master rules add/remove` commands
- Begin coding sessions with `get_tasks` / `task-master list` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to see current tasks, status, and IDs
- Determine the next task to work on using `next_task` / `task-master next` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
- Analyze task complexity with `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) before breaking down tasks
- Review complexity report using `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
- Select tasks based on dependencies (all marked 'done'), priority level, and ID order
- View specific task details using `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to understand implementation requirements
- Break down complex tasks using `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id> --force --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) with appropriate flags like `--force` (to replace existing subtasks) and `--research`
- Implement code following task details, dependencies, and project standards
- Mark completed tasks with `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
- Update dependent tasks when implementation differs from original plan using `update` / `task-master update --from=<id> --prompt="..."` or `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="..."` (see @`taskmaster.md`)

## Leveling Up: Agent-Led Multi-Context Workflows
While the basic workflow is powerful, your primary opportunity to add value is by identifying when to introduce **Tagged Task Lists**. These patterns are your tools for creating a more organized and efficient development environment for the user, especially if you detect agentic or parallel development happening across the same session.
**Critical Principle**: Most users should never see a difference in their experience. Only introduce advanced workflows when you detect clear indicators that the project has evolved beyond simple task management.
### When to Introduce Tags: Your Decision Patterns
Here are the patterns to look for. When you detect one, you should propose the corresponding workflow to the user.
#### Pattern 1: Simple Git Feature Branching
This is the most common and direct use case for tags.
- **Trigger**: The user creates a new git branch (e.g., `git checkout -b feature/user-auth`).
- **Your Action**: Propose creating a new tag that mirrors the branch name to isolate the feature's tasks from `master`.
- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"I see you've created a new branch named 'feature/user-auth'. To keep all related tasks neatly organized and separate from your main list, I can create a corresponding task tag for you. This helps prevent merge conflicts in your `tasks.json` file later. Shall I create the 'feature-user-auth' tag?"*
- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag --from-branch`
#### Pattern 2: Team Collaboration
- **Trigger**: The user mentions working with teammates (e.g., "My teammate Alice is handling the database schema," or "I need to review Bob's work on the API.").
- **Your Action**: Suggest creating a separate tag for the user's work to prevent conflicts with shared master context.
- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"Since you're working with Alice, I can create a separate task context for your work to avoid conflicts. This way, Alice can continue working with the master list while you have your own isolated context. When you're ready to merge your work, we can coordinate the tasks back to master. Shall I create a tag for your current work?"*
- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag my-work --copy-from-current --description="My tasks while collaborating with Alice"`
#### Pattern 3: Experiments or Risky Refactors
- **Trigger**: The user wants to try something that might not be kept (e.g., "I want to experiment with switching our state management library," or "Let's refactor the old API module, but I want to keep the current tasks as a reference.").
- **Your Action**: Propose creating a sandboxed tag for the experimental work.
- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a great experiment. To keep these new tasks separate from our main plan, I can create a temporary 'experiment-zustand' tag for this work. If we decide not to proceed, we can simply delete the tag without affecting the main task list. Sound good?"*
- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag experiment-zustand --description="Exploring Zustand migration"`
#### Pattern 4: Large Feature Initiatives (PRD-Driven)
This is a more structured approach for significant new features or epics.
- **Trigger**: The user describes a large, multi-step feature that would benefit from a formal plan.
- **Your Action**: Propose a comprehensive, PRD-driven workflow.
- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a significant new feature. To manage this effectively, I suggest we create a dedicated task context for it. Here's the plan: I'll create a new tag called 'feature-xyz', then we can draft a Product Requirements Document (PRD) together to scope the work. Once the PRD is ready, I'll automatically generate all the necessary tasks within that new tag. How does that sound?"*
- **Your Implementation Flow**:
1. **Create an empty tag**: `task-master add-tag feature-xyz --description "Tasks for the new XYZ feature"`. You can also start by creating a git branch if applicable, and then create the tag from that branch.
2. **Collaborate & Create PRD**: Work with the user to create a detailed PRD file (e.g., `.taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt`).
3. **Parse PRD into the new tag**: `task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt --tag feature-xyz`
4. **Prepare the new task list**: Follow up by suggesting `analyze-complexity` and `expand-all` for the newly created tasks within the `feature-xyz` tag.
#### Pattern 5: Version-Based Development
Tailor your approach based on the project maturity indicated by tag names.
- **Prototype/MVP Tags** (`prototype`, `mvp`, `poc`, `v0.x`):
- **Your Approach**: Focus on speed and functionality over perfection
- **Task Generation**: Create tasks that emphasize "get it working" over "get it perfect"
- **Complexity Level**: Lower complexity, fewer subtasks, more direct implementation paths
- **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is a prototype - prioritize speed and basic functionality over optimization"
- **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for the MVP, I'll focus on tasks that get core functionality working quickly rather than over-engineering."*
- **Production/Mature Tags** (`v1.0+`, `production`, `stable`):
- **Your Approach**: Emphasize robustness, testing, and maintainability
- **Task Generation**: Include comprehensive error handling, testing, documentation, and optimization
- **Complexity Level**: Higher complexity, more detailed subtasks, thorough implementation paths
- **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is for production - prioritize reliability, performance, and maintainability"
- **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for production, I'll ensure tasks include proper error handling, testing, and documentation."*
### Advanced Workflow (Tag-Based & PRD-Driven)
**When to Transition**: Recognize when the project has evolved (or has initiated a project which existing code) beyond simple task management. Look for these indicators:
- User mentions teammates or collaboration needs
- Project has grown to 15+ tasks with mixed priorities
- User creates feature branches or mentions major initiatives
- User initializes Taskmaster on an existing, complex codebase
- User describes large features that would benefit from dedicated planning
**Your Role in Transition**: Guide the user to a more sophisticated workflow that leverages tags for organization and PRDs for comprehensive planning.
#### Master List Strategy (High-Value Focus)
Once you transition to tag-based workflows, the `master` tag should ideally contain only:
- **High-level deliverables** that provide significant business value
- **Major milestones** and epic-level features
- **Critical infrastructure** work that affects the entire project
- **Release-blocking** items
**What NOT to put in master**:
- Detailed implementation subtasks (these go in feature-specific tags' parent tasks)
- Refactoring work (create dedicated tags like `refactor-auth`)
- Experimental features (use `experiment-*` tags)
- Team member-specific tasks (use person-specific tags)
#### PRD-Driven Feature Development
**For New Major Features**:
1. **Identify the Initiative**: When user describes a significant feature
2. **Create Dedicated Tag**: `add_tag feature-[name] --description="[Feature description]"`
3. **Collaborative PRD Creation**: Work with user to create comprehensive PRD in `.taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt`
4. **Parse & Prepare**:
- `parse_prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt --tag=feature-[name]`
- `analyze_project_complexity --tag=feature-[name] --research`
- `expand_all --tag=feature-[name] --research`
5. **Add Master Reference**: Create a high-level task in `master` that references the feature tag
**For Existing Codebase Analysis**:
When users initialize Taskmaster on existing projects:
1. **Codebase Discovery**: Use your native tools for producing deep context about the code base. You may use `research` tool with `--tree` and `--files` to collect up to date information using the existing architecture as context.
2. **Collaborative Assessment**: Work with user to identify improvement areas, technical debt, or new features
3. **Strategic PRD Creation**: Co-author PRDs that include:
- Current state analysis (based on your codebase research)
- Proposed improvements or new features
- Implementation strategy considering existing code
4. **Tag-Based Organization**: Parse PRDs into appropriate tags (`refactor-api`, `feature-dashboard`, `tech-debt`, etc.)
5. **Master List Curation**: Keep only the most valuable initiatives in master
The parse-prd's `--append` flag enables the user to parse multiple PRDs within tags or across tags. PRDs should be focused and the number of tasks they are parsed into should be strategically chosen relative to the PRD's complexity and level of detail.
### Workflow Transition Examples
**Example 1: Simple → Team-Based**
```
User: "Alice is going to help with the API work"
Your Response: "Great! To avoid conflicts, I'll create a separate task context for your work. Alice can continue with the master list while you work in your own context. When you're ready to merge, we can coordinate the tasks back together."
Action: add_tag my-api-work --copy-from-current --description="My API tasks while collaborating with Alice"
```
**Example 2: Simple → PRD-Driven**
```
User: "I want to add a complete user dashboard with analytics, user management, and reporting"
Your Response: "This sounds like a major feature that would benefit from detailed planning. Let me create a dedicated context for this work and we can draft a PRD together to ensure we capture all requirements."
Actions:
1. add_tag feature-dashboard --description="User dashboard with analytics and management"
2. Collaborate on PRD creation
3. parse_prd dashboard-prd.txt --tag=feature-dashboard
4. Add high-level "User Dashboard" task to master
```
**Example 3: Existing Project → Strategic Planning**
```
User: "I just initialized Taskmaster on my existing React app. It's getting messy and I want to improve it."
Your Response: "Let me research your codebase to understand the current architecture, then we can create a strategic plan for improvements."
Actions:
1. research "Current React app architecture and improvement opportunities" --tree --files=src/
2. Collaborate on improvement PRD based on findings
3. Create tags for different improvement areas (refactor-components, improve-state-management, etc.)
4. Keep only major improvement initiatives in master
```
---
## Primary Interaction: MCP Server vs. CLI
Taskmaster offers two primary ways to interact:
1. **MCP Server (Recommended for Integrated Tools)**:
- For AI agents and integrated development environments (like Kiro), interacting via the **MCP server is the preferred method**.
- The MCP server exposes Taskmaster functionality through a set of tools (e.g., `get_tasks`, `add_subtask`).
- This method offers better performance, structured data exchange, and richer error handling compared to CLI parsing.
- Refer to @`mcp.md` for details on the MCP architecture and available tools.
- A comprehensive list and description of MCP tools and their corresponding CLI commands can be found in @`taskmaster.md`.
- **Restart the MCP server** if core logic in `scripts/modules` or MCP tool/direct function definitions change.
- **Note**: MCP tools fully support tagged task lists with complete tag management capabilities.
2. **`task-master` CLI (For Users & Fallback)**:
- The global `task-master` command provides a user-friendly interface for direct terminal interaction.
- It can also serve as a fallback if the MCP server is inaccessible or a specific function isn't exposed via MCP.
- Install globally with `npm install -g task-master-ai` or use locally via `npx task-master-ai ...`.
- The CLI commands often mirror the MCP tools (e.g., `task-master list` corresponds to `get_tasks`).
- Refer to @`taskmaster.md` for a detailed command reference.
- **Tagged Task Lists**: CLI fully supports the new tagged system with seamless migration.
## How the Tag System Works (For Your Reference)
- **Data Structure**: Tasks are organized into separate contexts (tags) like "master", "feature-branch", or "v2.0".
- **Silent Migration**: Existing projects automatically migrate to use a "master" tag with zero disruption.
- **Context Isolation**: Tasks in different tags are completely separate. Changes in one tag do not affect any other tag.
- **Manual Control**: The user is always in control. There is no automatic switching. You facilitate switching by using `use-tag <name>`.
- **Full CLI & MCP Support**: All tag management commands are available through both the CLI and MCP tools for you to use. Refer to @`taskmaster.md` for a full command list.
---
## Task Complexity Analysis
- Run `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) for comprehensive analysis
- Review complexity report via `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.md`) for a formatted, readable version.
- Focus on tasks with highest complexity scores (8-10) for detailed breakdown
- Use analysis results to determine appropriate subtask allocation
- Note that reports are automatically used by the `expand_task` tool/command
## Task Breakdown Process
- Use `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id>`. It automatically uses the complexity report if found, otherwise generates default number of subtasks.
- Use `--num=<number>` to specify an explicit number of subtasks, overriding defaults or complexity report recommendations.
- Add `--research` flag to leverage Perplexity AI for research-backed expansion.
- Add `--force` flag to clear existing subtasks before generating new ones (default is to append).
- Use `--prompt="<context>"` to provide additional context when needed.
- Review and adjust generated subtasks as necessary.
- Use `expand_all` tool or `task-master expand --all` to expand multiple pending tasks at once, respecting flags like `--force` and `--research`.
- If subtasks need complete replacement (regardless of the `--force` flag on `expand`), clear them first with `clear_subtasks` / `task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>`.
## Implementation Drift Handling
- When implementation differs significantly from planned approach
- When future tasks need modification due to current implementation choices
- When new dependencies or requirements emerge
- Use `update` / `task-master update --from=<futureTaskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update multiple future tasks.
- Use `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<taskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update a single specific task.
## Task Status Management
- Use 'pending' for tasks ready to be worked on
- Use 'done' for completed and verified tasks
- Use 'deferred' for postponed tasks
- Add custom status values as needed for project-specific workflows
## Task Structure Fields
- **id**: Unique identifier for the task (Example: `1`, `1.1`)
- **title**: Brief, descriptive title (Example: `"Initialize Repo"`)
- **description**: Concise summary of what the task involves (Example: `"Create a new repository, set up initial structure."`)
- **status**: Current state of the task (Example: `"pending"`, `"done"`, `"deferred"`)
- **dependencies**: IDs of prerequisite tasks (Example: `[1, 2.1]`)
- Dependencies are displayed with status indicators (✅ for completed, ⏱️ for pending)
- This helps quickly identify which prerequisite tasks are blocking work
- **priority**: Importance level (Example: `"high"`, `"medium"`, `"low"`)
- **details**: In-depth implementation instructions (Example: `"Use GitHub client ID/secret, handle callback, set session token."`)
- **testStrategy**: Verification approach (Example: `"Deploy and call endpoint to confirm 'Hello World' response."`)
- **subtasks**: List of smaller, more specific tasks (Example: `[{"id": 1, "title": "Configure OAuth", ...}]`)
- Refer to task structure details (previously linked to `tasks.md`).
## Configuration Management (Updated)
Taskmaster configuration is managed through two main mechanisms:
1. **`.taskmaster/config.json` File (Primary):**
* Located in the project root directory.
* Stores most configuration settings: AI model selections (main, research, fallback), parameters (max tokens, temperature), logging level, default subtasks/priority, project name, etc.
* **Tagged System Settings**: Includes `global.defaultTag` (defaults to "master") and `tags` section for tag management configuration.
* **Managed via `task-master models --setup` command.** Do not edit manually unless you know what you are doing.
* **View/Set specific models via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.**
* Created automatically when you run `task-master models --setup` for the first time or during tagged system migration.
2. **Environment Variables (`.env` / `mcp.json`):**
* Used **only** for sensitive API keys and specific endpoint URLs.
* Place API keys (one per provider) in a `.env` file in the project root for CLI usage.
* For MCP/Kiro integration, configure these keys in the `env` section of `.kiro/mcp.json`.
* Available keys/variables: See `assets/env.example` or the Configuration section in the command reference (previously linked to `taskmaster.md`).
3. **`.taskmaster/state.json` File (Tagged System State):**
* Tracks current tag context and migration status.
* Automatically created during tagged system migration.
* Contains: `currentTag`, `lastSwitched`, `migrationNoticeShown`.
**Important:** Non-API key settings (like model selections, `MAX_TOKENS`, `TASKMASTER_LOG_LEVEL`) are **no longer configured via environment variables**. Use the `task-master models` command (or `--setup` for interactive configuration) or the `models` MCP tool.
**If AI commands FAIL in MCP** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `env` section of `.kiro/mcp.json`.
**If AI commands FAIL in CLI** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `.env` file in the root of the project.
## Rules Management
Taskmaster supports multiple AI coding assistant rule sets that can be configured during project initialization or managed afterward:
- **Available Profiles**: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Kiro, Roo Code, Trae, Windsurf (claude, cline, codex, kiro, roo, trae, windsurf)
- **During Initialization**: Use `task-master init --rules kiro,windsurf` to specify which rule sets to include
- **After Initialization**: Use `task-master rules add <profiles>` or `task-master rules remove <profiles>` to manage rule sets
- **Interactive Setup**: Use `task-master rules setup` to launch an interactive prompt for selecting rule profiles
- **Default Behavior**: If no `--rules` flag is specified during initialization, all available rule profiles are included
- **Rule Structure**: Each profile creates its own directory (e.g., `.kiro/steering`, `.roo/rules`) with appropriate configuration files
## Determining the Next Task
- Run `next_task` / `task-master next` to show the next task to work on.
- The command identifies tasks with all dependencies satisfied
- Tasks are prioritized by priority level, dependency count, and ID
- The command shows comprehensive task information including:
- Basic task details and description
- Implementation details
- Subtasks (if they exist)
- Contextual suggested actions
- Recommended before starting any new development work
- Respects your project's dependency structure
- Ensures tasks are completed in the appropriate sequence
- Provides ready-to-use commands for common task actions
## Viewing Specific Task Details
- Run `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` to view a specific task.
- Use dot notation for subtasks: `task-master show 1.2` (shows subtask 2 of task 1)
- Displays comprehensive information similar to the next command, but for a specific task
- For parent tasks, shows all subtasks and their current status
- For subtasks, shows parent task information and relationship
- Provides contextual suggested actions appropriate for the specific task
- Useful for examining task details before implementation or checking status
## Managing Task Dependencies
- Use `add_dependency` / `task-master add-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to add a dependency.
- Use `remove_dependency` / `task-master remove-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to remove a dependency.
- The system prevents circular dependencies and duplicate dependency entries
- Dependencies are checked for existence before being added or removed
- Task files are automatically regenerated after dependency changes
- Dependencies are visualized with status indicators in task listings and files
## Task Reorganization
- Use `move_task` / `task-master move --from=<id> --to=<id>` to move tasks or subtasks within the hierarchy
- This command supports several use cases:
- Moving a standalone task to become a subtask (e.g., `--from=5 --to=7`)
- Moving a subtask to become a standalone task (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7`)
- Moving a subtask to a different parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7.3`)
- Reordering subtasks within the same parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=5.4`)
- Moving a task to a new, non-existent ID position (e.g., `--from=5 --to=25`)
- Moving multiple tasks at once using comma-separated IDs (e.g., `--from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18`)
- The system includes validation to prevent data loss:
- Allows moving to non-existent IDs by creating placeholder tasks
- Prevents moving to existing task IDs that have content (to avoid overwriting)
- Validates source tasks exist before attempting to move them
- The system maintains proper parent-child relationships and dependency integrity
- Task files are automatically regenerated after the move operation
- This provides greater flexibility in organizing and refining your task structure as project understanding evolves
- This is especially useful when dealing with potential merge conflicts arising from teams creating tasks on separate branches. Solve these conflicts very easily by moving your tasks and keeping theirs.
## Iterative Subtask Implementation
Once a task has been broken down into subtasks using `expand_task` or similar methods, follow this iterative process for implementation:
1. **Understand the Goal (Preparation):**
* Use `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to thoroughly understand the specific goals and requirements of the subtask.
2. **Initial Exploration & Planning (Iteration 1):**
* This is the first attempt at creating a concrete implementation plan.
* Explore the codebase to identify the precise files, functions, and even specific lines of code that will need modification.
* Determine the intended code changes (diffs) and their locations.
* Gather *all* relevant details from this exploration phase.
3. **Log the Plan:**
* Run `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<detailed plan>'`.
* Provide the *complete and detailed* findings from the exploration phase in the prompt. Include file paths, line numbers, proposed diffs, reasoning, and any potential challenges identified. Do not omit details. The goal is to create a rich, timestamped log within the subtask's `details`.
4. **Verify the Plan:**
* Run `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` again to confirm that the detailed implementation plan has been successfully appended to the subtask's details.
5. **Begin Implementation:**
* Set the subtask status using `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=in-progress`.
* Start coding based on the logged plan.
6. **Refine and Log Progress (Iteration 2+):**
* As implementation progresses, you will encounter challenges, discover nuances, or confirm successful approaches.
* **Before appending new information**: Briefly review the *existing* details logged in the subtask (using `get_task` or recalling from context) to ensure the update adds fresh insights and avoids redundancy.
* **Regularly** use `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<update details>\n- What worked...\n- What didn't work...'` to append new findings.
* **Crucially, log:**
* What worked ("fundamental truths" discovered).
* What didn't work and why (to avoid repeating mistakes).
* Specific code snippets or configurations that were successful.
* Decisions made, especially if confirmed with user input.
* Any deviations from the initial plan and the reasoning.
* The objective is to continuously enrich the subtask's details, creating a log of the implementation journey that helps the AI (and human developers) learn, adapt, and avoid repeating errors.
7. **Review & Update Rules (Post-Implementation):**
* Once the implementation for the subtask is functionally complete, review all code changes and the relevant chat history.
* Identify any new or modified code patterns, conventions, or best practices established during the implementation.
* Create new or update existing rules following internal guidelines (previously linked to `cursor_rules.md` and `self_improve.md`).
8. **Mark Task Complete:**
* After verifying the implementation and updating any necessary rules, mark the subtask as completed: `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=done`.
9. **Commit Changes (If using Git):**
* Stage the relevant code changes and any updated/new rule files (`git add .`).
* Craft a comprehensive Git commit message summarizing the work done for the subtask, including both code implementation and any rule adjustments.
* Execute the commit command directly in the terminal (e.g., `git commit -m 'feat(module): Implement feature X for subtask <subtaskId>\n\n- Details about changes...\n- Updated rule Y for pattern Z'`).
* Consider if a Changeset is needed according to internal versioning guidelines (previously linked to `changeset.md`). If so, run `npm run changeset`, stage the generated file, and amend the commit or create a new one.
10. **Proceed to Next Subtask:**
* Identify the next subtask (e.g., using `next_task` / `task-master next`).
## Code Analysis & Refactoring Techniques
- **Top-Level Function Search**:
- Useful for understanding module structure or planning refactors.
- Use grep/ripgrep to find exported functions/constants:
`rg "export (async function|function|const) \w+"` or similar patterns.
- Can help compare functions between files during migrations or identify potential naming conflicts.
---
*This workflow provides a general guideline. Adapt it based on your specific project needs and team practices.*

# Taskmaster Tool & Command Reference
This document provides a detailed reference for interacting with Taskmaster, covering both the recommended MCP tools, suitable for integrations like Kiro, and the corresponding `task-master` CLI commands, designed for direct user interaction or fallback.
**Note:** For interacting with Taskmaster programmatically or via integrated tools, using the **MCP tools is strongly recommended** due to better performance, structured data, and error handling. The CLI commands serve as a user-friendly alternative and fallback.
**Important:** Several MCP tools involve AI processing... The AI-powered tools include `parse_prd`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `update_subtask`, `update_task`, `update`, `expand_all`, `expand_task`, and `add_task`.
**🏷️ Tagged Task Lists System:** Task Master now supports **tagged task lists** for multi-context task management. This allows you to maintain separate, isolated lists of tasks for different features, branches, or experiments. Existing projects are seamlessly migrated to use a default "master" tag. Most commands now support a `--tag <name>` flag to specify which context to operate on. If omitted, commands use the currently active tag.
---
## Initialization & Setup
### 1. Initialize Project (`init`)
* **MCP Tool:** `initialize_project`
* **CLI Command:** `task-master init [options]`
* **Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project.`
* **Key CLI Options:**
* `--name <name>`: `Set the name for your project in Taskmaster's configuration.`
* `--description <text>`: `Provide a brief description for your project.`
* `--version <version>`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.`
* `-y, --yes`: `Initialize Taskmaster quickly using default settings without interactive prompts.`
* **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project.
* **MCP Variant Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project by running the 'task-master init' command.`
* **Key MCP Parameters/Options:**
* `projectName`: `Set the name for your project.` (CLI: `--name <name>`)
* `projectDescription`: `Provide a brief description for your project.` (CLI: `--description <text>`)
* `projectVersion`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.` (CLI: `--version <version>`)
* `authorName`: `Author name.` (CLI: `--author <author>`)
* `skipInstall`: `Skip installing dependencies. Default is false.` (CLI: `--skip-install`)
* `addAliases`: `Add shell aliases tm and taskmaster. Default is false.` (CLI: `--aliases`)
* `yes`: `Skip prompts and use defaults/provided arguments. Default is false.` (CLI: `-y, --yes`)
* **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project, typically via an integrated tool like Kiro. Operates on the current working directory of the MCP server.
* **Important:** Once complete, you *MUST* parse a prd in order to generate tasks. There will be no tasks files until then. The next step after initializing should be to create a PRD using the example PRD in .taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt.
* **Tagging:** Use the `--tag` option to parse the PRD into a specific, non-default tag context. If the tag doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. Example: `task-master parse-prd spec.txt --tag=new-feature`.
### 2. Parse PRD (`parse_prd`)
* **MCP Tool:** `parse_prd`
* **CLI Command:** `task-master parse-prd [file] [options]`

* `output`: `Specify where Taskmaster should save the generated 'tasks.json' file. Defaults to '.taskmaster/tasks/tasks.json'.` (CLI: `-o, --output <file>`)
* `numTasks`: `Approximate number of top-level tasks Taskmaster should aim to generate from the document.` (CLI: `-n, --num-tasks <number>`)
* `force`: `Use this to allow Taskmaster to overwrite an existing 'tasks.json' without asking for confirmation.` (CLI: `-f, --force`)
* **Usage:** Useful for bootstrapping a project from an existing requirements document.
* **Notes:** Task Master will strictly adhere to any specific requirements mentioned in the PRD, such as libraries, database schemas, frameworks, tech stacks, etc., while filling in any gaps where the PRD isn't fully specified. Tasks are designed to provide the most direct implementation path while avoiding over-engineering.
* **Important:** This MCP tool makes AI calls and can take up to a minute to complete. Please inform users to hang tight while the operation is in progress. If the user does not have a PRD, suggest discussing their idea and then use the example PRD in `.taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt` as a template for creating the PRD based on their idea, for use with `parse-prd`.

* `listAvailableModels <boolean>`: `If true, lists available models not currently assigned to a role.` (CLI: No direct equivalent; CLI lists available automatically)
* `projectRoot <string>`: `Optional. Absolute path to the project root directory.` (CLI: Determined automatically)
* **Key CLI Options:**
* `--set-main <model_id>`: `Set the primary model.`

* **Usage (MCP):** Call without set flags to get current config. Use `setMain`, `setResearch`, or `setFallback` with a valid model ID to update the configuration. Use `listAvailableModels: true` to get a list of unassigned models. To set a custom model, provide the model ID and set `ollama: true` or `openrouter: true`.
* **Usage (CLI):** Run without flags to view current configuration and available models. Use set flags to update specific roles. Use `--setup` for guided configuration, including custom models. To set a custom model via flags, use `--set-<role>=<model_id>` along with either `--ollama` or `--openrouter`.
* **Notes:** Configuration is stored in `.taskmaster/config.json` in the project root. This command/tool modifies that file. Use `listAvailableModels` or `task-master models` to see internally supported models. OpenRouter custom models are validated against their live API. Ollama custom models are not validated live.
* **API note:** API keys for selected AI providers (based on their model) need to exist in the mcp.json file to be accessible in MCP context. The API keys must be present in the local .env file for the CLI to be able to read them.
* **Model costs:** The costs in supported models are expressed in dollars. An input/output value of 3 is $3.00. A value of 0.8 is $0.80.
* **Warning:** DO NOT MANUALLY EDIT THE .taskmaster/config.json FILE. Use the included commands either in the MCP or CLI format as needed. Always prioritize MCP tools when available and use the CLI as a fallback.

## Environment Variables Configuration (Updated)
Taskmaster primarily uses the **`.taskmaster/config.json`** file (in project root) for configuration (models, parameters, logging level, etc.), managed via `task-master models --setup`.
Environment variables are used **only** for sensitive API keys related to AI providers and specific overrides like the Ollama base URL:
* **API Keys (Required for corresponding provider):**
* `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
* `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`
* `OPENAI_API_KEY`
* `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
* `MISTRAL_API_KEY`
* `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` (Requires `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` too)
* `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
* `XAI_API_KEY`
* `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (Requires `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` too)
* **Endpoints (Optional/Provider Specific inside .taskmaster/config.json):**
* `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`
* `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (Default: `http://localhost:11434/api`)
**Set API keys** in your **`.env`** file in the project root (for CLI use) or within the `env` section of your **`.kiro/mcp.json`** file (for MCP/Kiro integration). All other settings (model choice, max tokens, temperature, log level, custom endpoints) are managed in `.taskmaster/config.json` via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.
