'task-master-ai': patch
---

Add `--research` flag to parse-prd command, enabling enhanced task generation from PRD files. When used, Taskmaster leverages the Perplexity AI research model to:

- Research current technologies and best practices relevant to the project
- Identify technical challenges and security concerns not explicitly mentioned in the PRD
- Include specific library recommendations with version numbers
- Provide more detailed implementation guidance based on industry standards
- Create more accurate dependency relationships between tasks

This results in higher quality, more actionable tasks with minimal additional effort.
