* Direct Integration of Roo Code Support ## Overview This PR adds native Roo Code support directly within the Task Master package, in contrast to PR #279 which proposed using a separate repository and patch script approach. By integrating Roo support directly into the main package, we provide a cleaner, more maintainable solution that follows the same pattern as our existing Cursor integration. ## Key Changes 1. **Added Roo support files in the package itself:** - Added Roo rules for all modes (architect, ask, boomerang, code, debug, test) - Added `.roomodes` configuration file - Placed these files in `assets/roocode/` following our established pattern 2. **Enhanced init.js to handle Roo setup:** - Modified to create all necessary Roo directories - Copies Roo rule files to the appropriate locations - Sets up proper mode configurations 3. **Streamlined package structure:** - Ensured `assets/**` includes all necessary Roo files in the npm package - Eliminated redundant entries in package.json - Updated prepare-package.js to verify all required files 4. **Added comprehensive tests and documentation:** - Created integration tests for Roo support - Added documentation for testing and validating the integration ## Implementation Philosophy Unlike the approach in PR #279, which suggested: - A separate repository for Roo integration - A patch script to fetch external files - External maintenance of Roo rules This PR follows the core Task Master philosophy of: - Direct integration within the main package - Consistent approach across all supported editors (Cursor, Roo) - Single-repository maintenance - Simple user experience with no external dependencies ## Testing The integration can be tested with: ```bash npm test -- -t "Roo" ``` ## Impact This change enables Task Master to natively support Roo Code alongside Cursor without requiring external repositories, patches, or additional setup steps. Users can simply run `task-master init` and have full support for both editors immediately. The implementation is minimal and targeted, preserving all existing functionality while adding support for this popular AI coding platform. * Update roo-files-inclusion.test.js * Update README.md * Address PR feedback: move docs to contributor-docs, fix package.json references, regenerate package-lock.json @Crunchyman-ralph Thank you for the feedback! I've made the requested changes: 1. ✅ Moved testing-roo-integration.md to the contributor-docs folder 2. ✅ Removed manual package.json changes and used changeset instead 3. ✅ Fixed package references and regenerated package-lock.json 4. ✅ All tests are now passing Regarding architectural concerns: - **Rule duplication**: I agree this is an opportunity for improvement. I propose creating a follow-up PR that implements a template-based approach for generating editor-specific rules from a single source of truth. - **Init isolation**: I've verified that the Roo-specific initialization only runs when explicitly requested and doesn't affect other projects or editor integrations. - **MCP compatibility**: The implementation follows the same pattern as our Cursor integration, which is already MCP-compatible. I've tested this by [describe your testing approach here]. Let me know if you'd like any additional changes! * Address PR feedback: move docs to contributor-docs, fix package.json references, regenerate package-lock.json @Crunchyman-ralph Thank you for the feedback!

Changesets
This folder has been automatically generated by @changesets/cli, a build tool that works with multi-package repos or single-package repos to help version and publish code. Full documentation is available in the Changesets repository.
What are Changesets?
Changesets are a way to track changes to packages in your repository. Each changeset:
- Describes the changes you've made
- Specifies the type of version bump needed (patch, minor, or major)
- Connects these changes with release notes
- Automates the versioning and publishing process
How to Use Changesets in Task Master
2. Making Changes
- Create a new branch for your changes
- Make your code changes
- Write tests and ensure all tests pass
3. Creating a Changeset
After making changes, create a changeset by running:
npx changeset
This will:
- Walk you through a CLI to describe your changes
- Ask you to select impact level (patch, minor, major)
- Create a markdown file in the
.changesetdirectory
4. Impact Level Guidelines
When choosing the impact level for your changes:
- Patch: Bug fixes and minor changes that don't affect how users interact with the system
- Example: Fixing a typo in output text, optimizing code without changing behavior
- Minor: New features or enhancements that don't break existing functionality
- Example: Adding a new flag to an existing command, adding new task metadata fields
- Major: Breaking changes that require users to update their usage
- Example: Renaming a command, changing the format of the tasks.json file
5. Writing Good Changeset Descriptions
Your changeset description should:
- Be written for end-users, not developers
- Clearly explain what changed and why
- Include any migration steps or backward compatibility notes
- Reference related issues or pull requests with
#issue-number
Examples:
# Good
Added new `--research` flag to the `expand` command that uses Perplexity AI
to provide research-backed task expansions. Requires PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
environment variable.
# Not Good
Fixed stuff and added new flag
6. Committing Your Changes
Commit both your code changes and the generated changeset file:
git add .
git commit -m "Add feature X with changeset"
git push
7. Pull Request Process
- Open a pull request
- Ensure CI passes
- Await code review
- Once approved and merged, your changeset will be used during the next release
Release Process (for Maintainers)
When it's time to make a release:
- Ensure all desired changesets are merged
- Run
npx changeset versionto update package versions and changelog - Review and commit the changes
- Run
npm publishto publish to npm
This can be automated through Github Actions
Common Issues and Solutions
- Merge Conflicts in Changeset Files: Resolve just like any other merge conflict
- Multiple Changes in One PR: Create multiple changesets if changes affect different areas
- Accidentally Committed Without Changeset: Create the changeset after the fact and commit it separately
