Consolidate Task Master files into unified .taskmaster directory structure

This release introduces a new consolidated directory structure that organizes all Task Master files under a single .taskmaster/ directory for better project organization and cleaner workspace management.

New Directory Structure:

  • .taskmaster/tasks/ - Task files (previously tasks/)
  • .taskmaster/docs/ - Documentation including PRD files (previously scripts/)
  • .taskmaster/reports/ - Complexity analysis reports (previously scripts/)
  • .taskmaster/templates/ - Template files like example PRD
  • .taskmaster/config.json - Configuration (previously .taskmasterconfig)

Migration & Backward Compatibility:

  • Existing projects continue to work with legacy file locations
  • New projects use the consolidated structure automatically
  • Run task-master migrate to move existing projects to the new structure
  • All CLI commands and MCP tools automatically detect and use appropriate file locations

Benefits:

  • Cleaner project root with Task Master files organized in one location
  • Reduced file scatter across multiple directories
  • Improved project navigation and maintenance
  • Consistent file organization across all Task Master projects

This change maintains full backward compatibility while providing a migration path to the improved structure.
