Create comprehensive tests for tool registration and resource access\n\n<info added on 2025-03-31T18:35:21.513Z>\nHere is additional information to enhance the subtask regarding resources and resource templates in FastMCP:\n\nResources in FastMCP are used to expose static or dynamic data to LLM clients. For the Task Master MCP server, we should implement resources to provide:\n\n1. Task templates: Predefined task structures that can be used as starting points\n2. Workflow definitions: Reusable workflow patterns for common task sequences\n3. User preferences: Stored user settings for task management\n4. Project metadata: Information about active projects and their attributes\n\nResource implementation should follow this structure:\n\n```python\n@mcp.resource(\"tasks://templates/{template_id}\")\ndef get_task_template(template_id: str) -> dict:\n # Fetch and return the specified task template\n ...\n\n@mcp.resource(\"workflows://definitions/{workflow_id}\")\ndef get_workflow_definition(workflow_id: str) -> dict:\n # Fetch and return the specified workflow definition\n ...\n\n@mcp.resource(\"users://{user_id}/preferences\")\ndef get_user_preferences(user_id: str) -> dict:\n # Fetch and return user preferences\n ...\n\n@mcp.resource(\"projects://metadata\")\ndef get_project_metadata() -> List[dict]:\n # Fetch and return metadata for all active projects\n ...\n```\n\nResource templates in FastMCP allow for dynamic generation of resources based on patterns. For Task Master, we can implement:\n\n1. Dynamic task creation templates\n2. Customizable workflow templates\n3. User-specific resource views\n\nExample implementation:\n\n```python\n@mcp.resource(\"tasks://create/{task_type}\")\ndef get_task_creation_template(task_type: str) -> dict:\n # Generate and return a task creation template based on task_type\n ...\n\n@mcp.resource(\"workflows://custom/{user_id}/{workflow_name}\")\ndef get_custom_workflow_template(user_id: str, workflow_name: str) -> dict:\n # Generate and return a custom workflow template for the user\n ...\n\n@mcp.resource(\"users://{user_id}/dashboard\")\ndef get_user_dashboard(user_id: str) -> dict:\n # Generate and return a personalized dashboard view for the user\n ...\n```\n\nBest practices for integrating resources with Task Master functionality:\n\n1. Use resources to provide context and data for tools\n2. Implement caching for frequently accessed resources\n3. Ensure proper error handling and not-found cases for all resources\n4. Use resource templates to generate dynamic, personalized views of data\n5. Implement access control to ensure users only access authorized resources\n\nBy properly implementing these resources and resource templates, we can provide rich, contextual data to LLM clients, enhancing the Task Master's capabilities and user experience.\n</info added on 2025-03-31T18:35:21.513Z>",

This should properly handle relative and absolute paths, respect the projectRoot parameter when provided, and have appropriate fallbacks when not specified. Document the approach in a comment within path-utils.js for future maintainers.\n\n<info added on 2025-04-01T02:21:57.137Z>\nHere's additional information addressing the request for research on npm package path handling:\n\n## Path Handling Best Practices for npm Packages\n\n### Distinguishing Package and Project Paths\n\n1. **Package Installation Path**: \n - Use `require.resolve()` to find paths relative to your package\n - For global installs, use `process.execPath` to locate the Node.js executable\n\n2. **Project Path**:\n - Use `process.cwd()` as a starting point\n - Search upwards for `package.json` or `.git` to find project root\n - Consider using packages like `find-up` or `pkg-dir` for robust root detection\n\n### Standard Approaches\n\n1. **Detecting Project Root**:\n - Recursive search for `package.json` or `.git` directory\n - Use `path.resolve()` to handle relative paths\n - Fall back to `process.cwd()` if no root markers found\n\n2. **Accessing Package Files**:\n - Use `__dirname` for paths relative to current script\n - For files in `node_modules`, use `require.resolve('package-name/path/to/file')`\n\n3. **Separating Package and Project Files**:\n - Store package-specific files in a dedicated directory (e.g., `.task-master`)\n - Use environment variables to override default paths\n\n### Cross-Platform Compatibility\n\n1. Use `path.join()` and `path.resolve()` for cross-platform path handling\n2. Avoid hardcoded forward/backslashes in paths\n3. Use `os.homedir()` for user home directory references\n\n### Best Practices for Path Resolution\n\n1. **Absolute vs Relative Paths**:\n - Always convert relative paths to absolute using `path.resolve()`\n - Use `path.isAbsolute()` to check if a path is already absolute\n\n2. **Handling Different Installation Scenarios**:\n - Local dev: Use `process.cwd()` as fallback project root\n - Local dependency: Resolve paths relative to consuming project\n - Global install: Use `process.execPath` to locate global `node_modules`\n\n3. **Configuration Options**:\n - Allow users to specify custom project root via CLI option or config file\n - Implement a clear precedence order for path resolution (e.g., CLI option > config file > auto-detection)\n\n4. **Error Handling**:\n - Provide clear error messages when critical paths cannot be resolved\n - Implement retry logic with alternative methods if primary path detection fails\n\n5. **Documentation**:\n - Clearly document path handling behavior in README and inline comments\n - Provide examples for common scenarios and edge cases\n\nBy implementing these practices, the MCP tools can achieve consistent and robust path handling across various npm installation and usage scenarios.\n</info added on 2025-04-01T02:21:57.137Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-01T02:25:01.463Z>\nHere's additional information addressing the request for clarification on path handling challenges for npm packages:\n\n## Advanced Path Handling Challenges and Solutions\n\n### Challenges to Avoid\n\n1. **Relying solely on process.cwd()**:\n - Global installs: process.cwd() could be any directory\n - Local installs as dependency: points to parent project's root\n - Users may run commands from subdirectories\n\n2. **Dual Path Requirements**:\n - Package Path: Where task-master code is installed\n - Project Path: Where user's tasks.json resides\n\n3. **Specific Edge Cases**:\n - Non-project directory execution\n - Deeply nested project structures\n - Yarn/pnpm workspaces\n - Monorepos with multiple tasks.json files\n - Commands invoked from scripts in different directories\n\n### Advanced Solutions\n\n1. **Project Marker Detection**:\n - Implement recursive search for package.json or .git\n - Use `find-up` package for efficient directory traversal\n ```javascript\n const findUp = require('find-up');\n const projectRoot = await findUp(dir => findUp.sync('package.json', { cwd: dir }));\n ```\n\n2. **Package Path Resolution**:\n - Leverage `import.meta.url` with `fileURLToPath`:\n ```javascript\n import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';\n import path from 'path';\n \n const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);\n const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);\n const packageRoot = path.resolve(__dirname, '..');\n ```\n\n3. **Workspace-Aware Resolution**:\n - Detect Yarn/pnpm workspaces:\n ```javascript\n const findWorkspaceRoot = require('find-yarn-workspace-root');\n const workspaceRoot = findWorkspaceRoot(process.cwd());\n ```\n\n4. **Monorepo Handling**:\n - Implement cascading configuration search\n - Allow multiple tasks.json files with clear precedence rules\n\n5. **CLI Tool Inspiration**:\n - ESLint: Uses `eslint-find-rule-files` for config discovery\n - Jest: Implements `jest-resolve` for custom module resolution\n - Next.js: Uses `find-up` to locate project directories\n\n6. **Robust Path Resolution Algorithm**:\n ```javascript\n function resolveProjectRoot(startDir) {\n const projectMarkers = ['package.json', '.git', 'tasks.json'];\n let currentDir = startDir;\n while (currentDir !== path.parse(currentDir).root) {\n if (projectMarkers.some(marker => fs.existsSync(path.join(currentDir, marker)))) {\n return currentDir;\n }\n currentDir = path.dirname(currentDir);\n }\n return startDir; // Fallback to original directory\n }\n ```\n\n7. **Environment Variable Overrides**:\n - Allow users to explicitly set paths:\n ```javascript\n const projectRoot = process.env.TASK_MASTER_PROJECT_ROOT || resolveProjectRoot(process.cwd());\n ```\n\nBy implementing these advanced techniques, task-master can achieve robust path handling across various npm scenarios without requiring manual specification.\n</info added on 2025-04-01T02:25:01.463Z>",

Implement the command in `scripts/modules/commands.js` instead of creating a new file\n2. Add command registration in the `registerCommands()` function (around line 482)\n3. Follow existing command structure pattern:\n ```javascript\n programInstance\n .command('generate-test')\n .description('Generate test cases for a task using AI')\n .option('-f, --file <file>', 'Path to the tasks file', 'tasks/tasks.json')\n .option('-i, --id <id>', 'Task ID parameter')\n .option('-p, --prompt <text>', 'Additional prompt context')\n .option('-r, --research', 'Use research model')\n .action(async (options) => {\n // Implementation\n });\n ```\n\n4. Use the following utilities:\n - `findProjectRoot()` for resolving project paths\n - `findTaskById()` for retrieving task data\n - `chalk` for formatted console output\n\n5. Implement error handling following the pattern:\n ```javascript\n try {\n // Implementation\n } catch (error) {\n console.error(chalk.red(`Error generating test: ${error.message}`));\n if (error.details) {\n console.error(chalk.red(error.details));\n }\n process.exit(1);\n }\n ```\n\n6.

Jest Syntax Validation:\n - Ensure proper describe/test structure\n - Validate import statements\n - Check for balanced brackets and parentheses\n\n2. Code Quality Checks:\n - Verify no syntax errors\n - Ensure proper indentation\n - Check for required imports\n\n3. Test Completeness:\n - At least one test case\n - Proper test descriptions\n - Appropriate assertions\n\n### Required Dependencies\n```javascript\nimport fs from 'fs';\nimport path from 'path';\nimport chalk from 'chalk';\nimport { log } from '../utils.js';\n```\n\n### Integration with Existing Patterns\nFollow the pattern from `generate-task-files.js`:\n1. Read task data using existing utilities\n2. Process content with proper formatting\n3. Write files with error handling\n4. Provide feedback to user\n5. Return success data for MCP integration\n</info added on 2025-05-23T21:06:32.457Z>\n<info added on 2025-05-23T21:18:25.369Z>\n## Corrected Implementation Approach\n\n### Updated File Location Strategy\n\n**CORRECTION**: Tests should go in `/tests/` directory, not `/tasks/` directory.\n\nBased on Jest configuration analysis:\n- Jest is configured with `roots: ['<rootDir>/tests']`\n- Test pattern: `**/?(*.)+(spec|test).js`\n- Current test structure has `/tests/unit/`, `/tests/integration/`, etc.\n\n### Recommended Directory Structure:\n```\ntests/\n├── unit/ # Manual unit tests\n├── integration/ # Manual integration tests \n├── generated/ # AI-generated tests\n│ ├── tasks/ # Generated task tests\n│ │ ├── task_024.test.js\n│ │ └── task_024_001.test.js\n│ └── README.md # Explains generated tests\n└── fixtures/ # Test fixtures\n```\n\n### Updated File Path Logic:\n```javascript\n// Determine output path - place in tests/generated/tasks/\nconst projectRoot = findProjectRoot() || '.';\nconst testsDir = path.join(projectRoot, 'tests', 'generated', 'tasks');\nconst fileName = generateTestFileName(task.id, isSubtask);\nconst filePath = path.join(testsDir, fileName);\n\n// Ensure directory structure exists\nif (!fs.existsSync(testsDir)) {\n fs.mkdirSync(testsDir, { recursive: true });\n}\n```\n\n### Testing Framework Configuration\n\nThe generate-test command should read the configured testing framework from `.taskmasterconfig`:\n\n```javascript\n// Read testing framework from config\nconst config = getConfig(projectRoot);\nconst testingFramework = config.testingFramework || 'jest'; // Default to Jest\n\n// Generate different templates based on framework\nswitch (testingFramework) {\n case 'jest':\n return generateJestTest(task, context);\n case 'mocha':\n return generateMochaTest(task, context);\n case 'vitest':\n return generateVitestTest(task, context);\n default:\n throw new Error(`Unsupported testing framework: ${testingFramework}`);\n}\n```\n\n### Framework-Specific Templates\n\n**Jest Template** (current):\n```javascript\n/**\n * Test file for Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}\n * Generated automatically by Task Master\n */\n\nimport { jest } from '@jest/globals';\n// Task-specific imports\n\ndescribe('Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}', () => {\n beforeEach(() => {\n jest.clearAllMocks();\n });\n\n test('should ${testDescription}', () => {\n // Test implementation\n });\n});\n```\n\n**Mocha Template**:\n```javascript\n/**\n * Test file for Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}\n * Generated automatically by Task Master\n */\n\nimport { expect } from 'chai';\nimport sinon from 'sinon';\n// Task-specific imports\n\ndescribe('Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}', () => {\n beforeEach(() => {\n sinon.restore();\n });\n\n it('should ${testDescription}', () => {\n // Test implementation\n });\n});\n```\n\n**Vitest Template**:\n```javascript\n/**\n * Test file for Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}\n * Generated automatically by Task Master\n */\n\nimport { describe, test, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';\n// Task-specific imports\n\ndescribe('Task ${taskId}: ${taskTitle}', () => {\n beforeEach(() => {\n vi.clearAllMocks();\n });\n\n test('should ${testDescription}', () => {\n // Test implementation\n });\n});\n```\n\n### AI Prompt Enhancement for Mocking\n\nTo address the mocking challenge, enhance the AI prompt with project context:\n\n```javascript\nconst systemPrompt = `You are an expert at generating comprehensive test files. When generating tests, pay special attention to mocking external dependencies correctly.\n\nCRITICAL MOCKING GUIDELINES:\n1. Analyze the task requirements to identify external dependencies (APIs, databases, file system, etc.)\n2. Mock external dependencies at the module level, not inline\n3. Use the testing framework's mocking utilities (jest.mock(), sinon.stub(), vi.mock())\n4. Create realistic mock data that matches the expected API responses\n5. Test both success and error scenarios for mocked dependencies\n6. Ensure mocks are cleared between tests to prevent test pollution\n\nTesting Framework: ${testingFramework}\nProject Structure: ${projectStructureContext}\n`;\n```\n\n### Integration with Future Features\n\nThis primitive command design enables:\n1. **Automatic test generation**: `task-master add-task --with-test`\n2. **Batch test generation**: `task-master generate-tests --all`\n3. **Framework-agnostic**: Support multiple testing frameworks\n4. **Smart mocking**: LLM analyzes dependencies and generates appropriate mocks\n\n### Updated Implementation Requirements:\n\n1. **Read testing framework** from `.taskmasterconfig`\n2. **Create tests directory structure** if it doesn't exist\n3. **Generate framework-specific templates** based on configuration\n4. **Enhanced AI prompts** with mocking best practices\n5. **Project structure analysis** for better import resolution\n6. **Mock dependency detection** from task requirements\n</info added on 2025-05-23T21:18:25.369Z>",

"title": "Implement MCP-to-MCP Communication Protocol",
"description": "Design and implement a communication protocol that allows Taskmaster to interact with external MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools and servers, enabling programmatic operations across these tools without requiring custom integration code. The system should dynamically connect to MCP servers chosen by the user for task storage and management (e.g., GitHub-MCP or Postgres-MCP). This eliminates the need for separate APIs or SDKs for each service. The goal is to create a standardized, agnostic system that facilitates seamless task execution and interaction with external systems. Additionally, the system should support two operational modes: **solo/local mode**, where tasks are managed locally using a `tasks.json` file, and **multiplayer/remote mode**, where tasks are managed via external MCP integrations. The core modules of Taskmaster should dynamically adapt their operations based on the selected mode, with multiplayer/remote mode leveraging MCP servers for all task management operations.",

Leverage the existing `fastmcp` server logic to enable interaction with external MCP tools programmatically, focusing on creating a modular and reusable system.\n3. Implement an adapter pattern that allows Taskmaster to connect to any MCP-compliant tool or server.\n4.

Provide a reference implementation for interacting with a specific MCP tool (e.g., GitHub-MCP or Postgres-MCP) to demonstrate the protocol's functionality.\n6. Ensure the protocol supports versioning to maintain compatibility as MCP tools evolve.\n7. Implement rate limiting and backoff strategies to prevent overwhelming external MCP tools.\n8. Create a configuration system that allows users to specify connection details for external MCP tools and servers.\n9. Add support for two operational modes:\n - **Solo/Local Mode**: Tasks are managed locally using a `tasks.json` file.\n - **Multiplayer/Remote Mode**: Tasks are managed via external MCP integrations (e.g., GitHub-MCP or Postgres-MCP). The system should dynamically switch between these modes based on user configuration.\n10. Update core modules to perform task operations on the appropriate system (local or remote) based on the selected mode, with remote mode relying entirely on MCP servers for task management.\n11.

Specific tests for the reference implementation (e.g., GitHub-MCP or Postgres-MCP), including authentication flows.\n4. Error handling tests that simulate network failures, timeouts, and malformed responses.\n5. Performance tests to ensure the communication does not introduce significant latency.\n6. Security tests to verify that authentication and encryption mechanisms are functioning correctly.\n7. End-to-end tests demonstrating Taskmaster's ability to programmatically interact with external MCP tools and execute tasks.\n8.

"title": "Implement Flexible AI Model Management",
"description": "Currently, Task Master only supports Claude for main operations and Perplexity for research. Users are limited in flexibility when managing AI models. Adding comprehensive support for multiple popular AI models (OpenAI, Ollama, Gemini, OpenRouter, Grok) and providing intuitive CLI commands for model management will significantly enhance usability, transparency, and adaptability to user preferences and project-specific needs. This task will now leverage Vercel's AI SDK to streamline integration and management of these models.",
"details": "### Proposed Solution\nImplement an intuitive CLI command for AI model management, leveraging Vercel's AI SDK for seamless integration:\n\n- `task-master models`: Lists currently configured models for main operations and research.\n- `task-master models --set-main=\"<model_name>\" --set-research=\"<model_name>\"`: Sets the desired models for main operations and research tasks respectively.\n\nSupported AI Models:\n- **Main Operations:** Claude (current default), OpenAI, Ollama, Gemini, OpenRouter\n- **Research Operations:** Perplexity (current default), OpenAI, Ollama, Grok\n\nIf a user specifies an invalid model, the CLI lists available models clearly.\n\n### Example CLI Usage\n\nList current models:\n```shell\ntask-master models\n```\nOutput example:\n```\nCurrent AI Model Configuration:\n- Main Operations: Claude\n- Research Operations: Perplexity\n```\n\nSet new models:\n```shell\ntask-master models --set-main=\"gemini\" --set-research=\"grok\"\n```\n\nAttempt invalid model:\n```shell\ntask-master models --set-main=\"invalidModel\"\n```\nOutput example:\n```\nError: \"invalidModel\" is not a valid model.\n\nAvailable models for Main Operations:\n- claude\n- openai\n- ollama\n- gemini\n- openrouter\n```\n\n### High-Level Workflow\n1. Update CLI parsing logic to handle new `models` command and associated flags.\n2. Consolidate all AI calls into `ai-services.js` for centralized management.\n3. Utilize Vercel's AI SDK to implement robust wrapper functions for each AI API:\n - Claude (existing)\n - Perplexity (existing)\n - OpenAI\n - Ollama\n - Gemini\n - OpenRouter\n - Grok\n4. Update environment variables and provide clear documentation in `.env_example`:\n```env\n# MAIN_MODEL options: claude, openai, ollama, gemini, openrouter\nMAIN_MODEL=claude\n\n# RESEARCH_MODEL options: perplexity, openai, ollama, grok\nRESEARCH_MODEL=perplexity\n```\n5. Ensure dynamic model switching via environment variables or configuration management.\n6. Provide clear CLI feedback and validation of model names.\n\n### Vercel AI SDK Integration\n- Use Vercel's AI SDK to abstract API calls for supported models, ensuring consistent error handling and response formatting.\n- Implement a configuration layer to map model names to their respective Vercel SDK integrations.\n- Example pattern for integration:\n```javascript\nimport { createClient } from '@vercel/ai';\n\nconst clients = {\n claude: createClient({ provider: 'anthropic', apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }),\n openai: createClient({ provider: 'openai', apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY }),\n ollama: createClient({ provider: 'ollama', apiKey: process.env.OLLAMA_API_KEY }),\n gemini: createClient({ provider: 'gemini', apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY }),\n openrouter: createClient({ provider: 'openrouter', apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY }),\n perplexity: createClient({ provider: 'perplexity', apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY }),\n grok: createClient({ provider: 'xai', apiKey: process.env.XAI_API_KEY })\n};\n\nexport function getClient(model) {\n if (!clients[model]) {\n throw new Error(`Invalid model: ${model}`);\n }\n return clients[model];\n}\n```\n- Leverage `generateText` and `streamText` functions from the SDK for text generation and streaming capabilities.\n- Ensure compatibility with serverless and edge deployments using Vercel's infrastructure.\n\n### Key Elements\n- Enhanced model visibility and intuitive management commands.\n- Centralized and robust handling of AI API integrations via Vercel AI SDK.\n- Clear CLI responses with detailed validation feedback.\n- Flexible, easy-to-understand environment configuration.\n\n### Implementation Considerations\n- Centralize all AI interactions through a single, maintainable module (`ai-services.js`).\n- Ensure comprehensive error handling for invalid model selections.\n- Clearly document environment variable options and their purposes.\n- Validate model names rigorously to prevent runtime errors.\n\n### Out of Scope (Future Considerations)\n- Automatic benchmarking or model performance comparison.\n- Dynamic runtime switching of models based on task type or complexity.",
"testStrategy": "### Test Strategy\n1. **Unit Tests**:\n - Test CLI commands for listing, setting, and validating models.\n - Mock Vercel AI SDK calls to ensure proper integration and error handling.\n\n2. **Integration Tests**:\n - Validate end-to-end functionality of model management commands.\n - Test dynamic switching of models via environment variables.\n\n3. **Error Handling Tests**:\n - Simulate invalid model names and verify error messages.\n - Test API failures for each model provider and ensure graceful degradation.\n\n4. **Documentation Validation**:\n - Verify that `.env_example` and CLI usage examples are accurate and comprehensive.\n\n5. **Performance Tests**:\n - Measure response times for API calls through Vercel AI SDK.\n - Ensure no significant latency is introduced by model switching.\n\n6. **SDK-Specific Tests**:\n - Validate the behavior of `generateText` and `streamText` functions for supported models.\n - Test compatibility with serverless and edge deployments.",

Implement model getters with priority order:\n - First check `.taskmasterconfig` file\n - Fall back to environment variables if config file missing/invalid\n - Use defaults as last resort\n6. Implement model setters that validate input against valid model lists before updating config\n7. Keep API key management in `ai-services.js` using environment variables (don't store keys in config file)\n8. Add helper functions for config file operations:\n ```javascript\n function getConfigPath() { /* locate .taskmasterconfig */ }\n function readConfig() { /* read and parse config file */ }\n function writeConfig(config) { /* stringify and write config */ }\n ```\n9. Include error handling for file operations and invalid configurations\n```\n</info added on 2025-04-14T21:54:28.887Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-14T22:52:29.551Z>\n```\nThe configuration management module should be updated to:\n\n1. Separate model configuration into provider and modelId components:\n ```javascript\n // Example config structure\n {\n \"models\": {\n \"main\": {\n \"provider\": \"openai\",\n \"modelId\": \"gpt-3.5-turbo\"\n },\n \"research\": {\n \"provider\": \"openai\",\n \"modelId\": \"gpt-4\"\n }\n }\n }\n ```\n\n2. Define provider constants:\n ```javascript\n const VALID_MAIN_PROVIDERS = ['openai', 'anthropic', 'local'];\n const VALID_RESEARCH_PROVIDERS = ['openai', 'anthropic', 'cohere'];\n const DEFAULT_MAIN_PROVIDER = 'openai';\n const DEFAULT_RESEARCH_PROVIDER = 'openai';\n ```\n\n3. Implement optional MODEL_MAP for validation:\n ```javascript\n const MODEL_MAP = {\n 'openai': ['gpt-3.5-turbo', 'gpt-4', 'gpt-4-turbo'],\n 'anthropic': ['claude-2', 'claude-instant'],\n 'cohere': ['command', 'command-light'],\n 'local': ['llama2', 'mistral']\n };\n ```\n\n4. Update getter functions to handle provider/modelId separation:\n ```javascript\n function getMainProvider() { /* return provider with fallbacks */ }\n function getMainModelId() { /* return modelId with fallbacks */ }\n function getResearchProvider() { /* return provider with fallbacks */ }\n function getResearchModelId() { /* return modelId with fallbacks */ }\n ```\n\n5. Update setter functions to validate both provider and modelId:\n ```javascript\n function setMainModel(provider, modelId) {\n // Validate provider is in VALID_MAIN_PROVIDERS\n // Optionally validate modelId is valid for provider using MODEL_MAP\n // Update config file with new values\n }\n ```\n\n6. Add utility functions for provider-specific validation:\n ```javascript\n function isValidProviderModelCombination(provider, modelId) {\n return MODEL_MAP[provider]?.includes(modelId) || false;\n }\n ```\n\n7. Extend unit tests to cover provider/modelId separation, including:\n - Testing provider validation\n - Testing provider-modelId combination validation\n - Verifying getters return correct provider and modelId values\n - Confirming setters properly validate and store both components\n```\n</info added on 2025-04-14T22:52:29.551Z>",

When refactoring to use the unified service:\n\n1. Replace direct OpenAI calls with `generateTextService` from `ai-services-unified.js`\n2.

Ensure prompt construction remains consistent but passes these dynamic parameters\n4. Handle API key resolution through the unified service (which uses `resolveEnvVariable`)\n5. Update error handling to work with the unified service response format\n6. If the function uses any logging, ensure it respects `getLoggingEnabled()` setting\n\nExample refactoring pattern:\n```javascript\n// Before\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n model: \"gpt-4\",\n temperature: 0.7,\n max_tokens: 1000,\n messages: [/* prompt messages */]\n});\n\n// After\nconst completion = await generateTextService({\n model: getMainModel(),\n temperature: getMainTemperature(),\n max_tokens: getMainMaxTokens(),\n messages: [/* prompt messages */]\n});\n```\n</info added on 2025-04-20T03:52:28.196Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-22T06:05:42.437Z>\n- When testing the non-streaming `generateTextService` call within `updateSubtaskById`, ensure that the function awaits the full response before proceeding with subtask updates. This allows you to validate that the unified service returns the expected structure (e.g., `completion.choices.message.content`) and that error handling logic correctly interprets any error objects or status codes returned by the service.\n\n- Mock or stub the `generateTextService` in unit tests to simulate both successful and failed completions. For example, verify that when the service returns a valid completion, the subtask is updated with the generated content, and when an error is returned, the error handling path is triggered and logged appropriately.\n\n- Confirm that the non-streaming mode does not emit partial results or require event-based handling; the function should only process the final, complete response.\n\n- Example test assertion:\n ```javascript\n // Mocked response from generateTextService\n const mockCompletion = {\n choices: [{ message: { content: \"Generated subtask details.\" } }]\n };\n generateTextService.mockResolvedValue(mockCompletion);\n\n // Call updateSubtaskById and assert the subtask is updated\n await updateSubtaskById(...);\n expect(subtask.details).toBe(\"Generated subtask details.\");\n ```\n\n- If the unified service supports both streaming and non-streaming modes, explicitly set or verify the `stream` parameter is `false` (or omitted) to ensure non-streaming behavior during these tests.\n</info added on 2025-04-22T06:05:42.437Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-22T06:20:19.747Z>\nWhen testing the non-streaming `generateTextService` call in `updateSubtaskById`, implement these verification steps:\n\n1.

Implement response validation to ensure the subtask content is properly extracted:\n ```javascript\n // In updateSubtaskById function\n try {\n const completion = await generateTextService({\n // parameters\n });\n \n // Validate response structure before using\n if (!completion?.choices?.[0]?.message?.content) {\n throw new Error('Invalid response structure from AI service');\n }\n \n // Continue with updating subtask\n } catch (error) {\n // Enhanced error handling\n }\n ```\n\n3.

You can import the default provider instance with `import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic'`, or create a custom instance using `createAnthropic` if you need to specify custom headers, API key, or base URL (such as for beta features or proxying)[1][4].\n\n- To address persistent 'Not Found' errors, ensure the model name matches the latest Anthropic model IDs (e.g., `claude-3-haiku-20240307`, `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`). Model naming is case-sensitive and must match Anthropic's published versions[4][5].\n\n- If you require custom headers (such as for beta features), use the `createAnthropic` function and pass a `headers` object. For example:\n ```js\n import { createAnthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';\n const anthropic = createAnthropic({\n apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,\n headers: { 'anthropic-beta': 'tools-2024-04-04' }\n });\n ```\n\n- For streaming and non-streaming support, the Vercel AI SDK provides both `generateText` (non-streaming) and `streamText` (streaming) functions. Use these with the Anthropic provider instance as the `model` parameter[5].\n\n- Example usage for non-streaming:\n ```js\n import { generateText } from 'ai';\n import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';\n\n const result = await generateText({\n model: anthropic('claude-3-haiku-20240307'),\n messages: [{ role: 'user', content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Hello!' }] }]\n });\n ```\n\n- Example usage for streaming:\n ```js\n import { streamText } from 'ai';\n import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';\n\n const stream = await streamText({\n model: anthropic('claude-3-haiku-20240307'),\n messages: [{ role: 'user', content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Hello!' }] }]\n });\n ```\n\n- Ensure that your implementation adheres to the standardized input/output format defined for `ai-services-unified.js`, mapping the SDK's response structure to your unified format.\n\n- If you continue to encounter 'Not Found' errors, verify:\n - The API key is valid and has access to the requested models.\n - The model name is correct and available to your Anthropic account.\n - Any required beta headers are included if using beta features or models[1].\n\n- Prefer direct provider instantiation with explicit headers and API key configuration for maximum compatibility and to avoid SDK-level abstraction issues[1].\n</info added on 2025-04-24T02:54:40.326Z>",

All configuration values for providers, models, parameters, and logging are now sourced *exclusively* from the loaded `.taskmasterconfig` file (merged with defaults), ensuring a single source of truth.\n\n- The `resolveConfig` and `resolveAIConfig` helpers, which previously checked `process.env` and `session.env`, have been **removed**. All configuration getters now directly access the loaded configuration object.\n\n- A new `MissingConfigError` is thrown if the `.taskmasterconfig` file is not found at startup. This error is caught in the application entrypoint (`ai-services-unified.js`), which then instructs the user to initialize the configuration file before proceeding.\n\n- API key and endpoint resolution remains an exception: environment variable overrides are still supported for secrets like `OPENAI_API_KEY` or provider-specific endpoints, maintaining security best practices.\n\n- Documentation (`README.md`, inline JSDoc, and `.taskmasterconfig` schema) has been updated to clarify that **environment variables are no longer used for general configuration** (other than secrets), and that all settings must be defined in `.taskmasterconfig`.\n\n- All application components have been updated to use the new configuration getters, and any direct access to `CONFIG`, `process.env`, or the previous helpers has been removed.\n\n- This stricter approach enforces configuration-as-code principles, ensures reproducibility, and prevents configuration drift, aligning with modern best practices for immutable infrastructure and automated configuration management[2][4].\n</info added on 2025-04-22T02:41:51.174Z>",

Replace direct `process.env.API_KEY` access.\n2. **Centralize App Configuration**: Ensure all non-sensitive configuration values (model names, temperature, logging levels, max tokens, etc.) are accessed *only* through `scripts/modules/config-manager.js` getters. Eliminate direct `process.env` access for these.\n\n**Strategy: Inventory -> Analyze -> Target -> Refine**\n\n1. **Inventory (`process.env` Usage):** Performed grep search (`rg \"process\\.env\"`). Results indicate widespread usage across multiple files.\n2. **Analysis (Categorization of Usage):**\n * **API Keys (Credentials):** ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc. found in `task-manager.js`, `ai-services.js`, `commands.js`, `dependency-manager.js`, `ai-client-utils.js`, test files. Needs replacement with `resolveEnvVariable(key, session)`.\n * **App Configuration:** PERPLEXITY_MODEL, TEMPERATURE, MAX_TOKENS, MODEL, DEBUG, LOG_LEVEL, DEFAULT_*, PROJECT_*, TASK_MASTER_PROJECT_ROOT found in `task-manager.js`, `ai-services.js`, `scripts/init.js`, `mcp-server/src/logger.js`, `mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js`, test files. Needs replacement with `config-manager.js` getters.\n * **System/Environment Info:** HOME, USERPROFILE, SHELL in `scripts/init.js`. Needs review (e.g., `os.homedir()` preference).\n * **Test Code/Setup:** Extensive usage in test files. Acceptable for mocking, but code under test must use standard methods. May require test adjustments.\n * **Helper Functions/Comments:** Definitions/comments about `resolveEnvVariable`. No action needed.\n3. **Target (High-Impact Areas & Initial Focus):**\n * High Impact: `task-manager.js` (~5800 lines), `ai-services.js` (~1500 lines).\n * Medium Impact: `commands.js`, Test Files.\n * Foundational: `ai-client-utils.js`, `config-manager.js`, `utils.js`.\n * **Initial Target Command:** `task-master analyze-complexity` for a focused, end-to-end refactoring exercise.\n\n4. **Refine (Plan for `analyze-complexity`):**\n a. **Trace Code Path:** Identify functions involved in `analyze-complexity`.\n b. **Refactor API Key Access:** Replace direct `process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` with `resolveEnvVariable(key, session)`.\n c. **Refactor App Config Access:** Replace direct `process.env` for model name, temp, tokens with `config-manager.js` getters.\n d. **Verify `resolveEnvVariable`:** Ensure robustness, especially handling potentially undefined `session`.\n e. **Test:** Verify command works locally and via MCP context (if possible). Update tests.\n\nThis piecemeal approach aims to establish the refactoring pattern before tackling the entire codebase.\n</info added on 2025-04-20T06:58:36.731Z>",

"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-24T17:45:51.956Z>\n## Additional Implementation Notes for Refactoring\n\n**General Guidance**\n\n- Ensure all AI-related logic in `analyze-task-complexity.js` is abstracted behind the `generateObjectService` interface. The function should only specify *what* to generate (schema, prompt, and parameters), not *how* the AI call is made or which model/config is used.\n- Remove any code that directly fetches AI model parameters or credentials from configuration files. All such details must be handled by the unified service layer.\n\n**1. Core Logic Function (analyze-task-complexity.js)**\n\n- Refactor the function signature to accept a `session` object and a `role` parameter, in addition to the existing arguments.\n- When preparing the service call, construct a payload object containing:\n - The Zod schema for expected output.\n - The prompt or input for the AI.\n - The `role` (e.g., \"researcher\" or \"default\") based on the `useResearch` flag.\n - The `session` context for downstream configuration and authentication.\n- Example service call:\n ```js\n const result = await generateObjectService({\n schema: complexitySchema,\n prompt: buildPrompt(task, options),\n role,\n session,\n });\n ```\n- Remove all references to direct AI client instantiation or configuration fetching.\n\n**2. CLI Command Action Handler (commands.js)**\n\n- Ensure the CLI handler for `analyze-complexity`:\n - Accepts and parses the `--use-research` flag (or equivalent).\n - Passes the `useResearch` flag and the current session context to the core function.\n - Handles errors from the unified service gracefully, providing user-friendly feedback.\n\n**3. MCP Tool Definition (mcp-server/src/tools/analyze.js)**\n\n- Align the Zod schema for CLI options with the parameters expected by the core function, including `useResearch` and any new required fields.\n- Use `getMCPProjectRoot` to resolve the project path before invoking the core function.\n- Add status logging before and after the analysis, e.g., \"Analyzing task complexity...\" and \"Analysis complete.\"\n- Ensure the tool calls the core function with all required parameters, including session and resolved paths.\n\n**4. MCP Direct Function Wrapper (mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/analyze-complexity-direct.js)**\n\n- Remove any direct AI client or config usage.\n- Implement a logger wrapper that standardizes log output for this function (e.g., `logger.info`, `logger.error`).\n- Pass the session context through to the core function to ensure all environment/config access is centralized.\n- Return a standardized response object, e.g.:\n ```js\n return {\n success: true,\n data: analysisResult,\n message: \"Task complexity analysis completed.\",\n };\n ```\n\n**Testing and Validation**\n\n- After refactoring, add or update tests to ensure:\n - The function does not break if AI service configuration changes.\n - The correct role and session are always passed to the unified service.\n - Errors from the unified service are handled and surfaced appropriately.\n\n**Best Practices**\n\n- Keep the core logic function pure and focused on orchestration, not implementation details.\n- Use dependency injection for session/context to facilitate testing and future extensibility.\n- Document the expected structure of the session and role parameters for maintainability.\n\nThese enhancements will ensure the refactored code is modular, maintainable, and fully decoupled from AI implementation details, aligning with modern refactoring best practices[1][3][5].\n</info added on 2025-04-24T17:45:51.956Z>",

"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-24T17:46:51.286Z>\n- In expand-task.js, ensure that all AI parameter configuration (such as model, temperature, max tokens) is passed via the unified generateObjectService interface, not fetched directly from config files or environment variables. This centralizes AI config management and supports future service changes without further refactoring.\n\n- When preparing the service call, construct the payload to include both the prompt and any schema or validation requirements expected by generateObjectService. For example, if subtasks must conform to a Zod schema, pass the schema definition or reference as part of the call.\n\n- For the CLI handler, ensure that the --research flag is mapped to the useResearch boolean and that this is explicitly passed to the core expand-task logic. Also, propagate any session or user context from CLI options to the core function for downstream auditing or personalization.\n\n- In the MCP tool definition, validate that all CLI-exposed parameters are reflected in the Zod schema, including optional ones like prompt overrides or force regeneration. This ensures strict input validation and prevents runtime errors.\n\n- In the direct function wrapper, implement a try/catch block around the core expandTask invocation.

"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-24T17:48:35.005Z>\n**Additional Implementation Notes for Refactoring get-subtasks-from-ai.js**\n\n- **Zod Schema Definition**: \n Define a Zod schema that precisely matches the expected subtask object structure. For example, if a subtask should have an id (string), title (string), and status (string), use:\n ```js\n import { z } from 'zod';\n\n const SubtaskSchema = z.object({\n id: z.string(),\n title: z.string(),\n status: z.string(),\n // Add other fields as needed\n });\n\n const SubtasksArraySchema = z.array(SubtaskSchema);\n ```\n This ensures robust runtime validation and clear error reporting if the AI response does not match expectations[5][1][3].\n\n- **Unified Service Invocation**: \n Replace all direct AI client and config usage with:\n ```js\n import { generateObjectService } from './ai-services-unified';\n\n // Example usage:\n const subtasks = await generateObjectService({\n schema: SubtasksArraySchema,\n prompt,\n role,\n session,\n });\n ```\n This centralizes AI invocation and parameter management, ensuring consistency and easier maintenance.\n\n- **Role Determination**: \n Use the `useResearch` flag to select the AI role:\n ```js\n const role = useResearch ? 'researcher' : 'default';\n ```\n\n- **Error Handling**: \n Implement structured error handling:\n ```js\n try {\n // AI service call\n } catch (err) {\n if (err.name === 'ServiceUnavailableError') {\n // Handle AI service unavailability\n } else if (err.name === 'ZodError') {\n // Handle schema validation errors\n // err.errors contains detailed validation issues\n } else if (err.name === 'PromptConstructionError') {\n // Handle prompt construction issues\n } else {\n // Handle unexpected errors\n }\n throw err; // or wrap and rethrow as needed\n }\n ```\n This pattern ensures that consumers can distinguish between different failure modes and respond appropriately.\n\n- **Consumer Contract**: \n Update the function signature to require both `useResearch` and `session` parameters, and document this in JSDoc/type annotations for clarity.\n\n- **Prompt Construction**: \n Move all prompt construction logic outside the core function if possible, or encapsulate it so that errors can be caught and reported as `PromptConstructionError`.\n\n- **No AI Implementation Details**: \n The refactored function should not expose or depend on any AI implementation specifics—only the unified service interface and schema validation.\n\n- **Testing**: \n Add or update tests to cover:\n - Successful subtask generation\n - Schema validation failures (invalid AI output)\n - Service unavailability scenarios\n - Prompt construction errors\n\nThese enhancements ensure the refactored file is robust, maintainable, and aligned with the unified AI service architecture, leveraging Zod for strict runtime validation and clear error boundaries[5][1][3].\n</info added on 2025-04-24T17:48:35.005Z>",

"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-24T17:48:58.133Z>\n- When defining the Zod schema for task update validation, consider using Zod's function schemas to validate both the input parameters and the expected output of the update function. This approach helps separate validation logic from business logic and ensures type safety throughout the update process[1][2].\n\n- For the core logic, use Zod's `.implement()` method to wrap the update function, so that all inputs (such as task ID, prompt, and options) are validated before execution, and outputs are type-checked. This reduces runtime errors and enforces contract compliance between layers[1][2].\n\n- In the MCP tool definition, ensure that the Zod schema explicitly validates all required parameters (e.g., `id` as a string, `prompt` as a string, `research` as a boolean or optional flag). This guarantees that only well-formed requests reach the core logic, improving reliability and error reporting[3][5].\n\n- When preparing the unified AI service call, pass the validated and sanitized data from the Zod schema directly to `generateObjectService`, ensuring that no unvalidated data is sent to the AI layer.\n\n- For output formatting, leverage Zod's ability to define and enforce the shape of the returned object, ensuring that the response structure (including success/failure status and updated task data) is always consistent and predictable[1][2][3].\n\n- If you need to validate or transform nested objects (such as task metadata or options), use Zod's object and nested schema capabilities to define these structures precisely, catching errors early and simplifying downstream logic[3][5].\n</info added on 2025-04-24T17:48:58.133Z>",

"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-24T17:49:25.126Z>\n## Additional Implementation Notes for Refactoring update-tasks.js\n\n- **Zod Schema for Batch Updates**: \n Define a Zod schema to validate the structure of the batch update payload. For example, if updating tasks requires an array of task objects with specific fields, use:\n ```typescript\n import { z } from \"zod\";\n\n const TaskUpdateSchema = z.object({\n id: z.number(),\n status: z.string(),\n // add other fields as needed\n });\n\n const BatchUpdateSchema = z.object({\n tasks: z.array(TaskUpdateSchema),\n from: z.number(),\n prompt: z.string().optional(),\n useResearch: z.boolean().optional(),\n });\n ```\n This ensures all incoming data for batch updates is validated at runtime, catching malformed input early and providing clear error messages[4][5].\n\n- **Function Schema Validation**: \n If exposing the update logic as a callable function (e.g., for CLI or API), consider using Zod's function schema to validate both input and output:\n ```typescript\n const updateTasksFunction = z\n .function()\n .args(BatchUpdateSchema, z.object({ session: z.any() }))\n .returns(z.promise(z.object({ success: z.boolean(), updated: z.number() })))\n .implement(async (input, { session }) => {\n // implementation here\n });\n ```\n This pattern enforces correct usage and output shape, improving reliability[1].\n\n- **Error Handling and Reporting**: \n Use Zod's `.safeParse()` or `.parse()` methods to validate input. On validation failure, return or throw a formatted error to the caller (CLI, API, etc.), ensuring actionable feedback for users[5].\n\n- **Consistent JSON Output**: \n When invoking the core update function from wrappers (CLI, MCP), ensure the output is always serialized as JSON. This is critical for downstream consumers and for automated tooling.\n\n- **Logger Wrapper Example**: \n Implement a logger utility that can be toggled for silent mode:\n ```typescript\n function createLogger(silent: boolean) {\n return {\n log: (...args: any[]) => { if (!silent) console.log(...args); },\n error: (...args: any[]) => { if (!silent) console.error(...args); }\n };\n }\n ```\n Pass this logger to the core logic for consistent, suppressible output.\n\n- **Session Context Usage**: \n Ensure all AI service calls and config access are routed through the provided session context, not global config getters. This supports multi-user and multi-session environments.\n\n- **Task Filtering Logic**: \n Before invoking the AI service, filter the tasks array to only include those with `id >= from` and `status === \"pending\"`. This preserves the intended batch update semantics.\n\n- **Preserve File Regeneration**: \n After updating tasks, ensure any logic that regenerates or writes task files is retained and invoked as before.\n\n- **CLI and API Parameter Validation**: \n Use the same Zod schemas to validate CLI arguments and API payloads, ensuring consistency across all entry points[5].\n\n- **Example: Validating CLI Arguments**\n ```typescript\n const cliArgsSchema = z.object({\n from: z.string().regex(/^\\d+$/).transform(Number),\n research: z.boolean().optional(),\n session: z.any(),\n });\n\n const parsedArgs = cliArgsSchema.parse(cliArgs);\n ```\n\nThese enhancements ensure robust validation, unified service usage, and maintainable, predictable batch update behavior.\n</info added on 2025-04-24T17:49:25.126Z>",

Identify all files within the project directory that contain console log statements:\n - Use grep or similar tools: `grep -r \"console.log\" --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" --include=\"*.ts\" --include=\"*.tsx\" ./src`\n - Alternatively, use your IDE's project-wide search functionality with regex pattern `console\\.(log|debug|info|warn|error)`\n\n2. Categorize console logs:\n - Essential logs: Error reporting, critical application state changes\n - Debugging logs: Temporary logs used during development\n - Informational logs: Non-critical information that might be useful\n - Redundant logs: Duplicated information or trivial data\n\n3. Create a spreadsheet or document to track:\n - File path\n - Line number\n - Console log content\n - Category (essential/debugging/informational/redundant)\n - Decision (keep/remove)\n\n4. Apply these specific removal criteria:\n - Remove all logs with comments like \"TODO\", \"TEMP\", \"DEBUG\"\n - Remove logs that only show function entry/exit without meaningful data\n - Remove logs that duplicate information already available in the UI\n - Keep logs related to error handling or critical user actions\n - Consider replacing some logs with proper error handling\n\n5. For logs you decide to keep:\n - Add clear comments explaining why they're necessary\n - Consider moving them to a centralized logging service\n - Implement log levels (debug, info, warn, error) if not already present\n\n6. Use search and replace with regex to batch remove similar patterns:\n - Example: `console\\.log\\(\\s*['\"]Processing.*?['\"]\\s*\\);`\n\n7. After removal, implement these testing steps:\n - Run all unit tests\n - Check browser console for any remaining logs during manual testing\n - Verify error handling still works properly\n - Test edge cases where logs might have been masking issues\n\n8. Consider implementing a linting rule to prevent unnecessary console logs in future code:\n - Add ESLint rule \"no-console\" with appropriate exceptions\n - Configure CI/CD pipeline to fail if new console logs are added\n\n9. Document any logging standards for the team to follow going forward.\n\n10. After committing changes, monitor the application in staging environment to ensure no critical information is lost.\n</info added on 2025-05-02T20:47:56.080Z>",

"description": "",
"details": "\n\n<info added on 2025-04-25T19:03:42.584Z>\n- Install the Bedrock provider for the AI SDK using your package manager (e.g., npm i @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock) and ensure the core AI SDK is present[3][4].\n\n- To integrate with your existing config manager, externalize all Bedrock-specific configuration (such as region, model name, and credential provider) into your config management system. For example, store values like region (\"us-east-1\") and model identifier (\"meta.llama3-8b-instruct-v1:0\") in your config files or environment variables, and load them at runtime.\n\n- For credentials, leverage the AWS SDK credential provider chain to avoid hardcoding secrets. Use the @aws-sdk/credential-providers package and pass a credentialProvider (e.g., fromNodeProviderChain()) to the Bedrock provider. This allows your config manager to control credential sourcing via environment, profiles, or IAM roles, consistent with other AWS integrations[1].\n\n- Example integration with config manager:\n ```js\n import { createAmazonBedrock } from '@ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock';\n import { fromNodeProviderChain } from '@aws-sdk/credential-providers';\n\n // Assume configManager.get returns your config values\n const region = configManager.get('bedrock.region');\n const model = configManager.get('bedrock.model');\n\n const bedrock = createAmazonBedrock({\n region,\n credentialProvider: fromNodeProviderChain(),\n });\n\n // Use with AI SDK methods\n const { text } = await generateText({\n model: bedrock(model),\n prompt: 'Your prompt here',\n });\n ```\n\n- If your config manager supports dynamic provider selection, you can abstract the provider initialization so switching between Bedrock and other providers (like OpenAI or Anthropic) is seamless.\n\n- Be aware that Bedrock exposes multiple models from different vendors, each with potentially different API behaviors. Your config should allow specifying the exact model string, and your integration should handle any model-specific options or response formats[5].\n\n- For unified service integration, ensure your service layer can route requests to Bedrock using the configured provider instance, and normalize responses if you support multiple AI backends.\n</info added on 2025-04-25T19:03:42.584Z>",

Document specific Yarn-related environment variables that might affect website connectivity. Use tools like Playwright or Cypress to automate the account setup flow testing, capturing screenshots at each step for documentation. Implement network throttling tests to verify behavior under poor connectivity. Create a checklist of all UI elements that should be verified during the account setup process, including form validation, error messages, and success states.

Validate that redirect URIs, token exchanges, and session persistence behave as expected across all supported browsers.\n\n- If the website setup involves configuring application pools or web server settings (e.g., with IIS), document any Yarn-specific considerations, such as environment variable propagation or file permission differences, that could affect the web service's availability or configuration[2].\n\n- When automating tests, include validation for accessibility compliance (e.g., using axe-core or Lighthouse) during the account setup process to ensure the UI is usable for all users.\n\n- Capture and log all HTTP requests and responses during the account setup flow to help diagnose any discrepancies between Yarn and other package managers. This can be achieved by enabling network logging in Playwright or Cypress test runs.\n\n- If the website component supports batch operations or automated uploads (such as uploading user data or configuration files), verify that these automation features function identically after installation with Yarn[3].\n\n- For documentation, provide annotated screenshots or screen recordings of the account setup process, highlighting any Yarn-specific prompts, warnings, or differences encountered.\n\n- If the website component is not required, add a badge or prominent note in the README and installation guides stating \"No website or account setup required,\" and reference the test results confirming this.\n</info added on 2025-04-25T08:46:08.651Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-25T17:04:12.550Z>\nFor clarity, this task does not involve setting up a Yarn account. Yarn itself is just a package manager that doesn't require any account creation. The task is about testing whether any website component that is part of Taskmaster (if one exists) works correctly when Taskmaster is installed using Yarn as the package manager.\n\nTo be specific:\n- You don't need to create a Yarn account\n- Yarn is simply the tool used to install Taskmaster (`yarn add taskmaster` instead of `npm install taskmaster`)\n- The testing focuses on whether any web interfaces or account setup processes that are part of Taskmaster itself function correctly when the installation was done via Yarn\n- If Taskmaster includes a web dashboard or requires users to create accounts within the Taskmaster system, those features should be tested\n\nIf you're uncertain whether Taskmaster includes a website component at all, the first step would be to check the project documentation or perform an initial installation to determine if any web interface exists.\n</info added on 2025-04-25T17:04:12.550Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-25T17:19:03.256Z>\nWhen testing website account setup with Yarn after the codebase refactor, pay special attention to:\n\n- Verify that any environment-specific configuration files (like `.env` or config JSON files) are properly loaded when the application is installed via Yarn\n- Test the session management implementation to ensure user sessions persist correctly across page refreshes and browser restarts\n- Check that any database migrations or schema updates required for account setup execute properly when installed via Yarn\n- Validate that client-side form validation logic works consistently with server-side validation\n- Ensure that any WebSocket connections for real-time features initialize correctly after the refactor\n- Test account deletion and data export functionality to verify GDPR compliance remains intact\n- Document any changes to the authentication flow that resulted from the refactor and confirm they work identically with Yarn installation\n</info added on 2025-04-25T17:19:03.256Z>\n\n<info added on 2025-04-25T17:22:05.951Z>\nWhen testing website account setup with Yarn after the logging fix, implement these additional verification steps:\n\n1. Verify that all account-related actions are properly logged with the correct log levels (debug, info, warn, error) according to the updated logging framework\n2. Test the error handling paths specifically - force authentication failures and verify the logs contain sufficient diagnostic information\n3. Check that sensitive user information is properly redacted in logs according to privacy requirements\n4. Confirm that log rotation and persistence work correctly when high volumes of authentication attempts occur\n5. Validate that any custom logging middleware correctly captures HTTP request/response data for account operations\n6. Test that log aggregation tools (if used) can properly parse and display the account setup logs in their expected format\n7. Verify that performance metrics for account setup flows are correctly captured in logs for monitoring purposes\n8.

Implement retry logic and graceful fallback mechanisms for handling transmission failures due to connectivity issues.\n<info added on 2025-05-14T17:52:40.647Z>\nTo securely send structured JSON telemetry payloads from a Node.js CLI tool to an external analytics backend, follow these steps:\n\n1. Use the Axios library for HTTPS POST requests. Install it with: npm install axios.\n2. Store sensitive configuration such as the analytics endpoint URL and any secret keys in environment variables (e.g., process.env.ANALYTICS_URL, process.env.ANALYTICS_KEY). Use dotenv or a similar library to load these securely.\n3. Construct the telemetry payload as a JSON object with the required fields: userId, commandName, modelUsed, inputTokens, outputTokens, totalTokens, totalCost, and timestamp (ISO 8601).\n4. Implement robust retry logic using the axios-retry package (npm install axios-retry). Configure exponential backoff with a recommended maximum of 3 retries and a base delay (e.g., 500ms).\n5. Ensure all requests use HTTPS to guarantee TLS encryption in transit. Axios automatically uses HTTPS when the endpoint URL starts with https://.\n6. Handle errors gracefully: catch all transmission errors, log them for diagnostics, and ensure failures do not interrupt or degrade the CLI user experience. Optionally, queue failed payloads for later retry if persistent connectivity issues occur.\n7. Example code snippet:\n\nrequire('dotenv').config();\nconst axios = require('axios');\nconst axiosRetry = require('axios-retry');\n\naxiosRetry(axios, {\n retries: 3,\n retryDelay: axiosRetry.exponentialDelay,\n retryCondition: (error) => axiosRetry.isNetworkOrIdempotentRequestError(error),\n});\n\nasync function sendTelemetry(payload) {\n try {\n await axios.post(process.env.ANALYTICS_URL, payload, {\n headers: {\n 'Content-Type': 'application/json',\n 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.ANALYTICS_KEY}`,\n },\n timeout: 5000,\n });\n } catch (error) {\n // Log error, do not throw to avoid impacting CLI UX\n console.error('Telemetry transmission failed:', error.message);\n // Optionally, queue payload for later retry\n }\n}\n\nconst telemetryPayload = {\n userId: 'user-123',\n commandName: 'expand',\n modelUsed: 'gpt-4',\n inputTokens: 100,\n outputTokens: 200,\n totalTokens: 300,\n totalCost: 0.0123,\n timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),\n};\n\nsendTelemetry(telemetryPayload);\n\n8. Best practices:\n- Never hardcode secrets or endpoint URLs in source code.\n- Use environment variables and restrict access permissions.\n- Validate all payload fields before transmission.\n- Ensure the CLI continues to function even if telemetry transmission fails.\n\nReferences: [1][2][3][5]\n</info added on 2025-05-14T17:52:40.647Z>\n<info added on 2025-05-14T17:57:18.218Z>\nUser ID Retrieval and Generation:\n\nThe telemetry system must securely retrieve the user ID from the .taskmasterconfig globals, where it should have been generated during the initialization phase. Implementation should:\n\n1. Check for an existing user ID in the .taskmasterconfig file before sending any telemetry data.\n2. If no user ID exists (for users who run AI commands without prior initialization or during upgrades), automatically generate a new UUID v4 and persist it to the .taskmasterconfig file.\n3. Implement a getOrCreateUserId() function that:\n - Reads from the global configuration file\n - Returns the existing ID if present\n - Generates a cryptographically secure UUID v4 if not present\n - Saves the newly generated ID to the configuration file\n - Handles file access errors gracefully\n\n4. Example implementation:\n```javascript\nconst fs = require('fs');\nconst path = require('path');\nconst { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');\n\nfunction getOrCreateUserId() {\n const configPath = path.join(os.homedir(), '.taskmasterconfig');\n \n try {\n // Try to read existing config\n const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(configPath, 'utf8'));\n \n if (config.userId) {\n return config.userId;\n }\n \n // No user ID found, generate and save\n config.userId = uuidv4();\n fs.writeFileSync(configPath, JSON.stringify(config, null, 2));\n return config.userId;\n } catch (error) {\n // Handle case where config doesn't exist or is invalid\n const userId = uuidv4();\n const newConfig = { userId };\n \n try {\n fs.writeFileSync(configPath, JSON.stringify(newConfig, null, 2));\n } catch (writeError) {\n console.error('Failed to save user ID to config:', writeError.message);\n }\n \n return userId;\n }\n}\n```\n\n5. Ensure this function is called before constructing any telemetry payload to guarantee a consistent user ID across all telemetry events.\n</info added on 2025-05-14T17:57:18.218Z>\n<info added on 2025-05-15T18:45:32.123Z>\n**Invocation Point for Sending Telemetry:**\n* The primary invocation for sending the telemetry payload should occur in `scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js`.\n* This should happen *after* the `telemetryData` object is fully constructed and *after* user consent (from subtask 77.3) has been confirmed.\n\n**Dedicated Module for Transmission Logic:**\n* The actual HTTPS POST request mechanism, including TLS encryption, retry logic, and graceful fallbacks, should be implemented in a new, separate module (e.g., `scripts/modules/telemetry-sender.js` or `scripts/utils/telemetry-client.js`).\n* This module will be imported and utilized by `scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js`.\n\n**Key Considerations:**\n* Robust error handling must be in place for the telemetry transmission process; failures should be logged locally and must not disrupt core application functionality.\n* The entire telemetry sending process is contingent upon explicit user consent as outlined in subtask 77.3.\n\n**Implementation Plan:**\n1. Create a new module `scripts/utils/telemetry-client.js` with the following functions:\n - `sendTelemetryData(telemetryPayload)`: Main function that handles the HTTPS POST request\n - `isUserConsentGiven()`: Helper function to check if user has consented to telemetry\n - `logTelemetryError(error)`: Helper function for consistent error logging\n\n2. In `ai-services-unified.js`, after constructing the telemetryData object:\n ```javascript\n const telemetryClient = require('../utils/telemetry-client');\n \n // After telemetryData is constructed\n if (telemetryClient.isUserConsentGiven()) {\n // Non-blocking telemetry submission\n telemetryClient.sendTelemetryData(telemetryData)\n .catch(error => telemetryClient.logTelemetryError(error));\n }\n ```\n\n3.

For MCP mode, accept a saveToFile parameter.\n\nKey implementation details:\n- Create /research/ directory if it doesn't exist (similar to how tasks/ is handled)\n- Generate meaningful filenames based on query and timestamp\n- Support both CLI interactive mode (inquirer prompts) and MCP parameter mode\n- Follow project root detection pattern from add-task.js stack\n- Handle file writing with proper error handling\n- Return saved file path in response for confirmation\n\nFile structure:\n- /research/YYYY-MM-DD_query-summary.md (markdown format)\n- Include query, timestamp, context used, and full AI response\n- Add metadata header with query details and context sources\n<info added on 2025-06-13T17:20:09.162Z>\nImplementation approach confirmed with detailed plan:\n\n**Modified handleFollowUpQuestions:**\n- Added \"Save to file\" option to inquirer prompt choices\n- Option triggers new handleSaveToFile function when selected\n\n**New handleSaveToFile function:**\n- Manages complete file-saving workflow\n- Creates .taskmaster/docs/research/ directory structure (following project patterns)\n- Generates slugified filenames: YYYY-MM-DD_query-summary.md format\n- Formats full conversation history into comprehensive Markdown with metadata header\n- Handles file writing with proper error handling\n- Returns confirmation message with saved file path\n\n**Enhanced performResearch for MCP integration:**\n- Added saveToFile boolean parameter to options object\n- Non-interactive mode (MCP) bypasses user prompts when saveToFile=true\n- Direct invocation of handleSaveToFile logic for programmatic saves\n- Updated main action in commands.js to support new saveToFile option parameter\n\nThis maintains consistency with existing project patterns while supporting both interactive CLI and programmatic MCP usage modes.\n</info added on 2025-06-13T17:20:09.162Z>\n<info added on 2025-06-13T19:52:28.153Z>\n**IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY**\n\n✅ **Save-to-file functionality implemented and working:**\n\n1. **Core Function Enhanced**: Modified `handleFollowUpQuestions` in `research.js` to add \"Save to file\" option\n2. **New Handler Created**: Added `handleSaveToFile` function that:\n - Creates `.taskmaster/docs/research/` directory if needed\n - Generates timestamped, slugified filenames (e.g., `2025-01-13_what-is-typescript.md`)\n - Formats research as comprehensive Markdown with metadata header\n - Saves conversation history with proper formatting\n3. **CLI Integration**: Added `--save-file` flag to research command (consistent with existing `--save` and `--save-to` flags)\n4. **MCP Integration**: Added `saveToFile` parameter to MCP research tool\n5. **Output Cleanup**: Fixed duplicate information in saved files by removing redundant header section\n\n**Testing Results:**\n- CLI command `task-master research \"What is TypeScript?\" --save-file --detail=low` works perfectly\n- File saved to `.taskmaster/docs/research/2025-01-13_what-is-typescript.md` with clean formatting\n- MCP tool has correct `saveToFile` parameter\n\n**🔧 CRITICAL BUG FIXED: Tag Corruption in MCP Tools**\n\n**Root Cause Identified**: Several MCP direct functions were calling `readJSON()` without the `projectRoot` parameter, causing tag resolution to fail and corrupting the tagged task structure.\n\n**Key Fixes Applied**:\n1. **Fixed `readJSON()` calls**: Added missing `projectRoot` parameter to all `readJSON()` calls in direct functions\n2. **Updated MCP tool parameter passing**: Ensured `projectRoot` is passed from MCP tools to direct functions\n3. **Context parameter clarification**: Only functions that perform AI operations actually need the `context = {}` parameter for session access (API keys)\n\n**Functions Fixed**:\n- `list-tasks.js` - Now passes `projectRoot` in context to core function\n- `next-task.js` - Now calls `readJSON(tasksJsonPath, projectRoot)`\n- `set-task-status.js` - Now passes `projectRoot` to `nextTaskDirect`\n- `show-task.js` - Now calls `readJSON(tasksJsonPath, projectRoot)`\n- `remove-task.js` - Now calls `readJSON(tasksJsonPath, projectRoot)`\n- `expand-task.js` - Now calls `readJSON(tasksPath, projectRoot)` in both locations\n\n**Verification**: Tag preservation now works correctly - tested with `set_task_status` MCP tool and tag remained as \"master\" instead of being corrupted.\n\n**Architecture Insight**: The `context = {}` parameter is only needed for AI operations that require `session` for API keys. Simple CRUD operations only need `projectRoot` passed correctly to maintain tag context.\n</info added on 2025-06-13T19:52:28.153Z>",

"title": "Enhance Parse-PRD with Intelligent Task Expansion and Detail Preservation",
"description": "Transform parse-prd from a simple task generator into an intelligent system that preserves PRD detail resolution through context-aware task expansion. This addresses the critical issue where highly detailed PRDs lose their specificity when parsed into too few top-level tasks, and ensures that task expansions are grounded in actual PRD content rather than generic AI assumptions.",
"details": "## Core Problem Statement\n\nThe current parse-prd implementation suffers from a fundamental resolution loss problem:\n\n1. **Detail Compression**: Complex, detailed PRDs get compressed into a fixed number of top-level tasks (default 10), losing critical specificity\n2. **Orphaned Expansions**: When tasks are later expanded via expand-task, the AI lacks the original PRD context, resulting in generic subtasks that don't reflect the PRD's specific requirements\n3. **Binary Approach**: The system either creates too few high-level tasks OR requires manual expansion that loses PRD context\n\n## Solution Architecture\n\n### Phase 1: Enhanced PRD Analysis Engine\n- Implement intelligent PRD segmentation that identifies natural task boundaries based on content structure\n- Create a PRD context preservation system that maintains detailed mappings between PRD sections and generated tasks\n- Develop adaptive task count determination based on PRD complexity metrics (length, technical depth, feature count)\n\n### Phase 2: Context-Aware Task Generation\n- Modify generateTasksFromPRD to create tasks with embedded PRD context references\n- Implement a PRD section mapping system that links each task to its source PRD content\n- Add metadata fields to tasks that preserve original PRD language and specifications\n\n### Phase 3: Intelligent In-Flight Expansion\n- Add optional `--expand-tasks` flag to parse-prd that triggers immediate expansion after initial task generation\n- Implement context-aware expansion that uses the original PRD content for each task's expansion\n- Create a two-pass system: first pass generates tasks with PRD context, second pass expands using that context\n\n### Phase 4: PRD-Grounded Expansion Logic\n- Enhance the expansion prompt generation to include relevant PRD excerpts for each task being expanded\n- Implement smart context windowing that includes related PRD sections when expanding tasks\n- Add validation to ensure expanded subtasks maintain fidelity to original PRD specifications\n\n## Technical Implementation Details\n\n### File Modifications Required:\n1. **scripts/modules/task-manager/parse-prd.js**\n - Add PRD analysis functions for intelligent segmentation\n - Implement context preservation during task generation\n - Add optional expansion pipeline integration\n - Create PRD-to-task mapping system\n\n2. **scripts/modules/task-manager/expand-task.js**\n - Enhance to accept PRD context as additional input\n - Modify expansion prompts to include relevant PRD excerpts\n - Add PRD-grounded validation for generated subtasks\n\n3. **scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js**\n - Add support for context-aware prompting with PRD excerpts\n - Implement intelligent context windowing for large PRDs\n - Add PRD analysis capabilities for complexity assessment\n\n### New Data Structures:\n```javascript\n// Enhanced task structure with PRD context\n{\n id: \"1\",\n title: \"User Authentication System\",\n description: \"...\",\n prdContext: {\n sourceSection: \"Authentication Requirements (Lines 45-78)\",\n originalText: \"The system must implement OAuth 2.0...\",\n relatedSections: [\"Security Requirements\", \"User Management\"],\n contextWindow: \"Full PRD excerpt relevant to this task\"\n },\n // ... existing fields\n}\n\n// PRD analysis metadata\n{\n prdAnalysis: {\n totalComplexity: 8.5,\n naturalTaskBoundaries: [...],\n recommendedTaskCount: 15,\n sectionMappings: {...}\n }\n}\n```\n\n### New CLI Options:\n- `--expand-tasks`: Automatically expand generated tasks using PRD context\n- `--preserve-detail`: Maximum detail preservation mode\n- `--adaptive-count`: Let AI determine optimal task count based on PRD complexity\n- `--context-window-size`: Control how much PRD context to include in expansions\n\n## Implementation Strategy\n\n### Step 1: PRD Analysis Enhancement\n- Create PRD parsing utilities that identify natural section boundaries\n- Implement complexity scoring for different PRD sections\n- Build context extraction functions that preserve relevant details\n\n### Step 2: Context-Aware Task Generation\n- Modify the task generation prompt to include section-specific context\n- Implement task-to-PRD mapping during generation\n- Add metadata fields to preserve PRD relationships\n\n### Step 3: Intelligent Expansion Pipeline\n- Create expansion logic that uses preserved PRD context\n- Implement smart prompt engineering that includes relevant PRD excerpts\n- Add validation to ensure subtask fidelity to original requirements\n\n### Step 4: Integration and Testing\n- Integrate new functionality with existing parse-prd workflow\n- Add comprehensive testing with various PRD types and complexities\n- Implement telemetry for tracking detail preservation effectiveness\n\n## Success Metrics\n- PRD detail preservation rate (measured by semantic similarity between PRD and generated tasks)\n- Reduction in manual task refinement needed post-parsing\n- Improved accuracy of expanded subtasks compared to PRD specifications\n- User satisfaction with task granularity and detail accuracy\n\n## Edge Cases and Considerations\n- Very large PRDs that exceed context windows\n- PRDs with conflicting or ambiguous requirements\n- Integration with existing task expansion workflows\n- Performance impact of enhanced analysis\n- Backward compatibility with existing parse-prd usage",

This is the most widely used and well-documented Python library for accessing the GitHub REST API v3.\n\n#### Key Benefits:\n- **Clean Object-Oriented Interface**: Simplifies repository, issue, and user management\n- **Built-in Authentication**: Easy personal access token integration\n- **Automatic Pagination & Rate Limiting**: Handles API complexities automatically\n- **Comprehensive Issue Management**: Full support for creating, updating, and linking issues\n- **Active Maintenance**: Well-supported with excellent documentation\n\n#### Installation:\n```bash\npip install PyGithub\n```\n\n#### Integration Example:\n```python\nfrom github import Github, Auth\n\nclass GitHubExportService:\n def __init__(self, token):\n auth = Auth.Token(token)\n self.github = Github(auth=auth)\n \n async def export_task_to_issue(self, task, repo_name):\n repo = self.github.get_repo(repo_name)\n \n # Create issue with formatted content\n issue = repo.create_issue(\n title=f\"[Task {task.id}] {task.title}\",\n body=self.format_task_for_github(task),\n labels=self.map_task_labels(task)\n )\n \n # Establish bidirectional link\n await self.add_github_link_to_task(task.id, issue.html_url)\n \n return issue\n \n def format_task_for_github(self, task):\n body = f\"**Task Master ID**: {task.id}\\n\"\n body += f\"**Priority**: {task.priority}\\n\"\n body += f\"**Status**: {task.status}\\n\\n\"\n \n if task.description:\n body += f\"## Description\\n{task.description}\\n\\n\"\n \n if task.details:\n body += f\"## Implementation Details\\n{task.details}\\n\\n\"\n \n body += \"\\n---\\n*Exported from Task Master*\"\n return body\n```\n\n### Alternative Considerations\n\nWhile raw `requests` library could be used for direct API calls, PyGithub is strongly preferred because it:\n- Eliminates boilerplate authentication and error handling code\n- Provides built-in pagination support\n- Offers better maintainability and readability\n- Reduces likelihood of API integration bugs\n\n### Security and Token Management\n\nWhen implementing with PyGithub:\n- Store GitHub tokens in environment variables\n- Use token scoping to limit permissions\n- Implement token validation and refresh logic\n- Add audit logging for all GitHub operations\n\nThis library choice aligns with the project's need for reliable, maintainable GitHub integration while minimizing implementation complexity.\n</info added on 2025-06-14T21:18:58.143Z>\n<info added on 2025-06-14T21:20:39.682Z>\n## Research Session - 6/14/2025 5:20:03 PM\n\n**Initial Query:** should i be using any specific libraries for this?\n\n**Response:** HELL YEAH PARTNER\n\nFor implementing a GitHub Issue export feature with bidirectional linking in your project, you absolutely should use a dedicated library for interacting with the GitHub API. This will save you a ton of time, reduce boilerplate, and help you avoid common pitfalls with authentication, pagination, and error handling.\n\n## Recommended Library: PyGithub\n\n- **PyGithub** is the most widely used and well-documented Python library for accessing the GitHub REST API v3. It allows you to manage repositories, issues, user profiles, and more, all with a clean, object-oriented interface[1][2][3][5].\n- It supports all the operations you'll need for your export feature, including creating issues, updating them, and managing references for bidirectional linking.\n\n### Key Features\n\n- **Authentication**: Easily authenticate with a personal access token.\n- **Issue Management**: Create, update, and link issues programmatically.\n- **Repository Access**: Fetch and manipulate repository data.\n- **User/Org Support**: Works for both user and organization repos.\n- **Pagination & Rate Limiting**: Handles these for you.\n\n### Example Usage\n\n```python\nfrom github import Github, Auth\n\n# Authenticate with a personal access token\nauth = Auth.Token(\"your_github_token\")\ng = Github(auth=auth)\n\n# Get the repo\nrepo = g.get_repo(\"owner/repo_name\")\n\n# Create a new issue\nissue = repo.create_issue(\n title=\"Exported from Task Master\",\n body=\"This issue was created by Task Master. [Task ID: 123]\"\n)\n\n# Add a comment or update the issue to include a backlink\nissue.create_comment(\"Linked to Task Master task #123\")\n```\n[3][5]\n\n## Why Not Use Raw Requests?\n\n- While you *can* use the `requests` library to call the GitHub API directly[4], PyGithub abstracts away authentication, error handling, and pagination, making your code much cleaner and less error-prone[2][5].\n\n## Integration Tips\n\n- Store your GitHub token securely (e.g., in environment variables).\n- Use PyGithub's objects to fetch, create, and update issues.\n- For bidirectional linking, store the GitHub issue URL in your task data and the Task Master task ID in the GitHub issue body or as a label/comment.\n- PyGithub is actively maintained and widely used, so you'll find plenty of support and documentation.\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\npip install PyGithub\n```\n[3]\n\n## Summary Table\n\n| Library | Language | API Coverage | Ease of Use | Maintained | Docs/Support |\n|-----------|----------|--------------|-------------|------------|--------------|\n| PyGithub | Python | Full | High | Yes | Excellent |\n| requests | Python | Full (manual)| Medium | Yes | Good |\n\n**Use PyGithub for all GitHub API interactions in your export/import features.** It's the standard for Python projects and will make your implementation faster, safer, and more maintainable[1][2][3][5].\n\n---\n\n**Follow-up 1:** we don't want to use py github because we have a node project\n\n**Response:** HELL YEAH PARTNER\n\nFor a Node.js project, you should use a Node-native library to interact with the GitHub API instead of PyGithub, which is Python-only. The industry standard for Node.js is **Octokit**, the official GitHub SDK for JavaScript/TypeScript[1][2].\n\n## Why Use Octokit?\n\n- **Official & Complete**: Octokit is maintained by GitHub and covers all REST and GraphQL API endpoints, including issues, repositories, users, and more[1][2].\n- **Universal**: Works in Node.js, browsers, and Deno environments[2].\n- **Typed & Tested**: Comes with TypeScript declarations and 100% test coverage[2].\n- **Authentication**: Supports personal access tokens, GitHub Apps, OAuth, and more.\n- **Pagination & Error Handling**: Handles pagination and common error scenarios out of the box.\n- **Extendable**: Supports plugins and custom hooks for advanced use cases[2].\n\n## How to Use Octokit for GitHub Issue Export\n\nInstall Octokit in your Node.js project:\n\n```bash\nnpm install @octokit/rest\n```\n\nBasic usage for creating and linking issues:\n\n```js\nconst { Octokit } = require(\"@octokit/rest\");\n\n// Authenticate with a personal access token\nconst octokit = new Octokit({ auth: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN });\n\n// Create a new issue\nconst { data: issue } = await octokit.issues.create({\n owner: \"owner\",\n repo: \"repo_name\",\n title: \"Exported from Task Master\",\n body: \"This issue was created by Task Master. [Task ID: 123]\"\n});\n\n// Add a comment for bidirectional linking\nawait octokit.issues.createComment({\n owner: \"owner\",\n repo: \"repo_name\",\n issue_number: issue.number,\n body: \"Linked to Task Master task #123\"\n});\n```\n\n## Alternatives\n\n- **node-github**: An older library, less maintained than Octokit, but still functional for basic API access[5].\n- **Raw HTTP Requests**: You can use `node-fetch` or `axios` to call the GitHub API directly, but you'll need to handle authentication, pagination, and error handling yourself[3]. Octokit abstracts all of this for you.\n\n## Summary Table\n\n| Library | Language | API Coverage | Maintained | TypeScript | Docs/Support |\n|-----------------|----------|--------------|------------|------------|--------------|\n| Octokit | Node.js | Full | Yes | Yes | Excellent |\n| node-github | Node.js | Full | No | No | Limited |\n| Raw HTTP | Node.js | Full (manual)| N/A | N/A | N/A |\n\n**Recommendation:** Use Octokit for all GitHub API interactions in your Node.js project. It's the official, most robust, and best-supported option for your use case[1][2].\n</info added on 2025-06-14T21:20:39.682Z>",

User Guide\n```markdown\n# GitHub Export Feature\n\n## Overview\nThe GitHub Export feature allows you to create GitHub issues directly from your Task Master tasks, maintaining bidirectional links between tasks and issues.\n\n## Setup\n\n### 1. GitHub Token\nCreate a GitHub Personal Access Token with the following permissions:\n- `repo` (for private repositories)\n- `public_repo` (for public repositories)\n\nSet the token as an environment variable:\n```bash\nexport GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here\n```\n\n### 2. Basic Usage\n```bash\n# Export a task to GitHub\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject\n\n# Export with custom labels and assignees\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject \\\\\n --labels=\"bug,urgent\" --assignees=\"john,jane\"\n\n# Preview before creating\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --dry-run\n```\n\n## Advanced Features\n\n### Templates\nUse predefined templates for different issue types:\n```bash\n# Bug report template\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --template=bug\n\n# Feature request template\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --template=feature\n```\n\n### Subtask Handling\n```bash\n# Include subtasks as checklist items\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --include-subtasks\n\n# Create separate issues for each subtask\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --separate-subtasks\n```\n\n### Synchronization\n```bash\n# Enable automatic synchronization\ntask-master github-export --id=42 --repo=myorg/myproject --sync\n```\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Common Issues\n1. **Authentication Error**: Verify your GitHub token has the correct permissions\n2. **Repository Not Found**: Ensure the repository exists and you have access\n3. **Rate Limit Exceeded**: Wait for the rate limit to reset or use a different token\n\n### Link Management\n```bash\n# Validate all GitHub links\ntask-master github-link --validate\n\n# Sync specific task with GitHub\ntask-master github-link --sync 42\n\n# Remove GitHub link from task\ntask-master github-link --remove 42\n```\n```\n\n#### 2.

The system should read these files, extract tasks under a specific tag, and merge them into the main tasks.json. The 'master' tag from template files must be ignored to prevent conflicts, and the primary tasks.json file will always take precedence over imported tags.",
"details": "Key implementation steps: 1. Develop a file watcher or a manual import command to detect and process new .json files in the tasks directory. 2. Implement logic to read an external json file, identify the tag key, and extract the array of tasks. 3. Handle potential conflicts: if an imported tag already exists in the main tasks.json, the existing tasks should be preserved and new ones appended, or the import should be skipped based on a defined precedence rule. 4. Ignore any 'master' key in template files to protect the integrity of the main task list. 5. Update task ID sequencing to ensure imported tasks are assigned unique IDs that don't conflict with existing tasks.\n<info added on 2025-06-13T23:39:39.385Z>\n**UPDATED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN - Silent Task Template Discovery**\n\n**Core Architecture Changes**:\n- Replace manual import workflow with automatic file discovery during tag operations\n- Implement file pattern matching for `tasks_*.json` files in tasks directory\n- Create seamless tag resolution system that checks external files when tags not found in main tasks.json\n\n**Silent Discovery Mechanism**:\n- Scan for `tasks_*.json` files during any tag-related operation (list-tags, use-tag, etc.)\n- Extract tag names from filenames and validate against internal tag keys\n- Build dynamic tag registry combining main tasks.json tags with discovered external tags\n- Apply precedence rule: main tasks.json tags override external files with same tag name\n\n**File Naming and Structure Convention**:\n- External files follow pattern: `tasks_[tagname].json` where tagname must match internal tag key\n- Files contain same structure as main tasks.json but only the specific tag section is used\n- Master key in external files is ignored to prevent conflicts with main task list\n\n**Key Implementation Updates**:\n- Enhance `getAvailableTags()` to include filesystem scan and merge results\n- Modify tag resolution logic to check external files as fallback when tag missing from main file\n- Update `listTags()` to display external tags with visual indicator (e.g., \"[ext]\" suffix)\n- Implement read-only access for external tags - all task modifications route to main tasks.json\n- Add error handling for malformed external files without breaking core functionality\n\n**User Experience Flow**:\n- Users drop `tasks_projectname.json` files into tasks directory\n- Tags become immediately available via `task-master use-tag projectname`\n- No manual import commands or configuration required\n- External tags appear in tag listings alongside main tags\n\n**Benefits Over Manual Import**:\n- Zero-friction workflow for adding new task contexts\n- Supports team collaboration through shared task template files\n- Enables multi-project task management without cluttering main tasks.json\n- Maintains clean separation between permanent tasks and temporary project contexts\n</info added on 2025-06-13T23:39:39.385Z>\n<info added on 2025-06-13T23:55:04.512Z>\n**Tag Preservation Bug Fix Testing**\n\nConducted testing to verify the fix for the tag preservation bug where tag structures were being lost during operations. The fix ensures that:\n\n- Tag hierarchies and relationships are maintained during file discovery operations\n- External tag files preserve their internal structure when accessed through the silent discovery mechanism\n- Main tasks.json tag integrity is protected during external file scanning\n- Tag metadata and associations remain intact across read operations\n- No data corruption occurs when switching between main and external tag contexts\n\nTesting confirmed that tag structures now persist correctly without loss of organizational data or task relationships within tagged contexts.\n</info added on 2025-06-13T23:55:04.512Z>\n<info added on 2025-06-13T23:55:42.394Z>\n**MCP Server Update-Subtask Tool Testing**\n\nPerformed testing of the MCP server's update-subtask tool to verify it maintains tag structure integrity during subtask modifications. The test confirms that:\n\n- Tag hierarchies remain intact when subtasks are updated through the MCP interface\n- External tag file references are preserved during update operations\n- Silent discovery mechanism continues to function correctly after subtask modifications\n- No tag disappearance occurs when using the MCP server tools for task management\n- Tag preservation fixes remain effective across different update pathways including MCP server operations\n\nThis validates that the tag structure preservation improvements work consistently across both direct CLI operations and MCP server-mediated task updates.\n</info added on 2025-06-13T23:55:42.394Z>\n<info added on 2025-06-14T01:20:45.903Z>\n**IMPLEMENTATION STARTED -
