## Latest Features (January 2025)
### 🚀 New `task-master start` Command
**Automated Task Execution with Claude Code Integration**
The new `start` command revolutionizes your development workflow by automatically launching Claude Code with comprehensive task context:
```bash
# Start a specific task
task-master start 1.2
# Start the next available task automatically
task-master start
# Preview what would be executed without launching Claude Code
task-master start 1.2 --dry-run
```
**Key Features:**
- **Automatic Task Discovery** - When no ID is provided, finds the next available task based on dependencies and status
- **Rich Context Injection** - Provides Claude Code with task details, requirements, subtasks, and project context
- **Status Management** - Automatically updates task status to "in-progress" when starting
- **Flexible Options** - Support for dry-run, force mode, custom project paths, and JSON output
### 🤖 Grok AI Provider Support
**Enhanced AI Model Options**
Task Master now supports xAI's Grok models with full 131K token capacity:
```bash
# Configure Grok as your main model
task-master models --set-main grok-beta
# Use Grok with vision capabilities
task-master models --set-research grok-vision-beta
```
**Setup:**
1. Get your API key from [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai)
2. Set `GROK_CLI_API_KEY` environment variable
3. Configure using `task-master models --setup`
**Available Models:**
- `grok-beta` - Latest Grok model with advanced reasoning
- `grok-vision-beta` - Grok with vision capabilities

- **Visual Workflow** - Seamless transition from task planning to implementation
