claude-task-master/CHANGELOG.md
Ralph Khreish b40139ca05 Release 0.18.0 (#840) 
* Update SWE scores (#657)

* docs: Auto-update and format models.md

* feat: Flexible brand rules management (#460)

* chore(docs): update docs and rules related to model management.

* feat(ai): Add OpenRouter AI provider support

Integrates the OpenRouter AI provider using the Vercel AI SDK adapter (@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider). This allows users to configure and utilize models available through the OpenRouter platform.

- Added src/ai-providers/openrouter.js with standard Vercel AI SDK wrapper functions (generateText, streamText, generateObject).

- Updated ai-services-unified.js to include the OpenRouter provider in the PROVIDER_FUNCTIONS map and API key resolution logic.

- Verified config-manager.js handles OpenRouter API key checks correctly.

- Users can configure OpenRouter models via .taskmasterconfig using the task-master models command or MCP models tool. Requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY.

- Enhanced error handling in ai-services-unified.js to provide clearer messages when generateObjectService fails due to lack of underlying tool support in the selected model/provider endpoint.

* feat(cli): Add --status/-s filter flag to show command and get-task MCP tool

Implements the ability to filter subtasks displayed by the `task-master show <id>` command using the `--status` (or `-s`) flag. This is also available in the MCP context.

- Modified `commands.js` to add the `--status` option to the `show` command definition.

- Updated `utils.js` (`findTaskById`) to handle the filtering logic and return original subtask counts/arrays when filtering.

- Updated `ui.js` (`displayTaskById`) to use the filtered subtasks for the table, display a summary line when filtering, and use the original subtask list for the progress bar calculation.

- Updated MCP `get_task` tool and `showTaskDirect` function to accept and pass the `status` parameter.

- Added changeset entry.

* fix(tasks): Improve next task logic to be subtask-aware

* fix(tasks): Enable removing multiple tasks/subtasks via comma-separated IDs

- Refactors the core `removeTask` function (`task-manager/remove-task.js`) to accept and iterate over comma-separated task/subtask IDs.

- Updates dependency cleanup and file regeneration logic to run once after processing all specified IDs.

- Adjusts the `remove-task` CLI command (`commands.js`) description and confirmation prompt to handle multiple IDs correctly.

- Fixes a bug in the CLI confirmation prompt where task/subtask titles were not being displayed correctly.

- Updates the `remove_task` MCP tool description to reflect the new multi-ID capability.

This addresses the previously known issue where only the first ID in a comma-separated list was processed.

Closes #140

* Update README.md (#342)

* Update Discord badge (#337)

* refactor(init): Improve robustness and dependencies; Update template deps for AI SDKs; Silence npm install in MCP; Improve conditional model setup logic; Refactor init.js flags; Tweak Getting Started text; Fix MCP server launch command; Update default model in config template

* Refactor: Improve MCP logging, update E2E & tests

Refactors MCP server logging and updates testing infrastructure.

- MCP Server:

  - Replaced manual logger wrappers with centralized `createLogWrapper` utility.

  - Updated direct function calls to use `{ session, mcpLog }` context.

  - Removed deprecated `model` parameter from analyze, expand-all, expand-task tools.

  - Adjusted MCP tool import paths and parameter descriptions.

- Documentation:

  - Modified `docs/configuration.md`.

  - Modified `docs/tutorial.md`.

- Testing:

  - E2E Script (`run_e2e.sh`):

    - Removed `set -e`.

    - Added LLM analysis function (`analyze_log_with_llm`) & integration.

    - Adjusted test run directory creation timing.

    - Added debug echo statements.

  - Deleted Unit Tests: Removed `ai-client-factory.test.js`, `ai-client-utils.test.js`, `ai-services.test.js`.

  - Modified Fixtures: Updated `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.

- Dev Scripts:

  - Modified `scripts/dev.js`.

* chore(tests): Passes tests for merge candidate
- Adjusted the interactive model default choice to be 'no change' instead of 'cancel setup'
- E2E script has been perfected and works as designed provided there are all provider API keys .env in the root
- Fixes the entire test suite to make sure it passes with the new architecture.
- Fixes dependency command to properly show there is a validation failure if there is one.
- Refactored config-manager.test.js mocking strategy and fixed assertions to read the real supported-models.json
- Fixed rule-transformer.test.js assertion syntax and transformation logic adjusting replacement for search which was too broad.
- Skip unstable tests in utils.test.js (log, readJSON, writeJSON error paths) due to SIGABRT crash. These tests trigger a native crash (SIGABRT), likely stemming from a conflict between internal chalk usage within the functions and Jest's test environment, possibly related to ESM module handling.

* chore(wtf): removes chai. not sure how that even made it in here. also removes duplicate test in scripts/.

* fix: ensure API key detection properly reads .env in MCP context

Problem:
- Task Master model configuration wasn't properly checking for API keys in the project's .env file when running through MCP
- The isApiKeySet function was only checking session.env and process.env but not inspecting the .env file directly
- This caused incorrect API key status reporting in MCP tools even when keys were properly set in .env

Solution:
- Modified resolveEnvVariable function in utils.js to properly read from .env file at projectRoot
- Updated isApiKeySet to correctly pass projectRoot to resolveEnvVariable
- Enhanced the key detection logic to have consistent behavior between CLI and MCP contexts
- Maintains the correct precedence: session.env → .env file → process.env

Testing:
- Verified working correctly with both MCP and CLI tools
- API keys properly detected in .env file in both contexts
- Deleted .cursor/mcp.json to confirm introspection of .env as fallback works

* fix(update): pass projectRoot through update command flow

Modified ai-services-unified.js, update.js tool, and update-tasks.js direct function to correctly pass projectRoot. This enables the .env file API key fallback mechanism for the update command when running via MCP, ensuring consistent key resolution with the CLI context.

* fix(analyze-complexity): pass projectRoot through analyze-complexity flow

Modified analyze-task-complexity.js core function, direct function, and analyze.js tool to correctly pass projectRoot. Fixed import error in tools/index.js. Added debug logging to _resolveApiKey in ai-services-unified.js. This enables the .env API key fallback for analyze_project_complexity.

* fix(add-task): pass projectRoot and fix logging/refs

Modified add-task core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Fixed logFn reference error and removed deprecated reportProgress call in core addTask function. Verified working.

* fix(parse-prd): pass projectRoot and fix schema/logging

Modified parse-prd core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Corrected Zod schema used in generateObjectService call. Fixed logFn reference error in core parsePRD. Updated unit test mock for utils.js.

* fix(update-task): pass projectRoot and adjust parsing

Modified update-task-by-id core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot. Reverted parsing logic in core function to prioritize `{...}` extraction, resolving parsing errors. Fixed ReferenceError by correctly destructuring projectRoot.

* fix(update-subtask): pass projectRoot and allow updating done subtasks

Modified update-subtask-by-id core, direct function, and tool to pass projectRoot for .env API key fallback. Removed check preventing appending details to completed subtasks.

* fix(mcp, expand): pass projectRoot through expand/expand-all flows

Problem: expand_task & expand_all MCP tools failed with .env keys due to missing projectRoot propagation for API key resolution. Also fixed a ReferenceError: wasSilent is not defined in expandTaskDirect.

Solution: Modified core logic, direct functions, and MCP tools for expand-task and expand-all to correctly destructure projectRoot from arguments and pass it down through the context object to the AI service call (generateTextService). Fixed wasSilent scope in expandTaskDirect.

Verification: Tested expand_task successfully in MCP using .env keys. Reviewed expand_all flow for correct projectRoot propagation.

* chore: prettier

* fix(expand-all): add projectRoot to expandAllTasksDirect invokation.

* fix(update-tasks): Improve AI response parsing for 'update' command

Refactors the JSON array parsing logic within
in .

The previous logic primarily relied on extracting content from markdown
code blocks (json or javascript), which proved brittle when the AI
response included comments or non-JSON text within the block, leading to
parsing errors for the  command.

This change modifies the parsing strategy to first attempt extracting
content directly between the outermost '[' and ']' brackets. This is
more robust as it targets the expected array structure directly. If
bracket extraction fails, it falls back to looking for a strict json
code block, then prefix stripping, before attempting a raw parse.

This approach aligns with the successful parsing strategy used for
single-object responses in  and resolves the
parsing errors previously observed with the  command.

* refactor(mcp): introduce withNormalizedProjectRoot HOF for path normalization

Added HOF to mcp tools utils to normalize projectRoot from args/session. Refactored get-task tool to use HOF. Updated relevant documentation.

* refactor(mcp): apply withNormalizedProjectRoot HOF to update tool

Problem: The  MCP tool previously handled project root acquisition and path resolution within its  method, leading to potential inconsistencies and repetition.

Solution: Refactored the  tool () to utilize the new  Higher-Order Function (HOF) from .

Specific Changes:
- Imported  HOF.
- Updated the Zod schema for the  parameter to be optional, as the HOF handles deriving it from the session if not provided.
- Wrapped the entire  function body with the  HOF.
- Removed the manual call to  from within the  function body.
- Destructured the  from the  object received by the wrapped  function, ensuring it's the normalized path provided by the HOF.
- Used the normalized  variable when calling  and when passing arguments to .

This change standardizes project root handling for the  tool, simplifies its  method, and ensures consistent path normalization. This serves as the pattern for refactoring other MCP tools.

* fix: apply to all tools withNormalizedProjectRoot to fix projectRoot issues for linux and windows

* fix: add rest of tools that need wrapper

* chore: cleanup tools to stop using rootFolder and remove unused imports

* chore: more cleanup

* refactor: Improve update-subtask, consolidate utils, update config

This commit introduces several improvements and refactorings across MCP tools, core logic, and configuration.

**Major Changes:**

1.  **Refactor updateSubtaskById:**
    - Switched from generateTextService to generateObjectService for structured AI responses, using a Zod schema (subtaskSchema) for validation.
    - Revised prompts to have the AI generate relevant content based on user request and context (parent/sibling tasks), while explicitly preventing AI from handling timestamp/tag formatting.
    - Implemented **local timestamp generation (new Date().toISOString()) and formatting** (using <info added on ...> tags) within the function *after* receiving the AI response. This ensures reliable and correctly formatted details are appended.
    - Corrected logic to append only the locally formatted, AI-generated content block to the existing subtask.details.

2.  **Consolidate MCP Utilities:**
    - Moved/consolidated the withNormalizedProjectRoot HOF into mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js.
    - Updated MCP tools (like update-subtask.js) to import withNormalizedProjectRoot from the new location.

3.  **Refactor Project Initialization:**
    - Deleted the redundant mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/initialize-project-direct.js file.
    - Updated mcp-server/src/core/task-master-core.js to import initializeProjectDirect from its correct location (./direct-functions/initialize-project.js).

**Other Changes:**

-   Updated .taskmasterconfig fallback model to claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219.
-   Clarified model cost representation in the models tool description (taskmaster.mdc and mcp-server/src/tools/models.js).

* fix: displayBanner logging when silentMode is active (#385)

* fix: improve error handling, test options, and model configuration

- Enhance error validation in parse-prd.js and update-tasks.js
- Fix bug where mcpLog was incorrectly passed as logWrapper
- Improve error messages and response formatting
- Add --skip-verification flag to E2E tests
- Update MCP server config that ships with init to match new API key structure
- Fix task force/append handling in parse-prd command
- Increase column width in update-tasks display

* chore: fixes parse prd to show loading indicator in cli.

* fix(parse-prd): suggested fix for mcpLog was incorrect. reverting to my previously working code.

* chore(init): No longer ships readme with task-master init (commented out for now). No longer looking for task-master-mcp, instead checked for task-master-ai - this should prevent the init sequence from needlessly adding another mcp server with task-master-mcp to the mpc.json which a ton of people probably ran into.

* chore: restores 3.7 sonnet as the main role.

* fix(add/remove-dependency): dependency mcp tools were failing due to hard-coded tasks path in generate task files.

* chore: removes tasks json backup that was temporarily created.

* fix(next): adjusts mcp tool response to correctly return the next task/subtask. Also adds nextSteps to the next task response.

* chore: prettier

* chore: readme typos

* fix(config): restores sonnet 3.7 as default main role.

Co-authored-by: Ralph Khreish <35776126+Crunchyman-ralph@users.noreply.github.com>

* feat: add Claude Code provider support

Implements Claude Code as a new AI provider that uses the Claude Code CLI
without requiring API keys. This enables users to leverage Claude models
through their local Claude Code installation.

Key changes:
- Add complete AI SDK v1 implementation for Claude Code provider
  - Custom SDK with streaming/non-streaming support
  - Session management for conversation continuity
  - JSON extraction for object generation mode
  - Support for advanced settings (maxTurns, allowedTools, etc.)

- Integrate Claude Code into Task Master's provider system
  - Update ai-services-unified.js to handle keyless authentication
  - Add provider to supported-models.json with opus/sonnet models
  - Ensure correct maxTokens values are applied (opus: 32000, sonnet: 64000)

- Fix maxTokens configuration issue
  - Add max_tokens property to getAvailableModels() output
  - Update setModel() to properly handle claude-code models
  - Create update-config-tokens.js utility for init process

- Add comprehensive documentation
  - User guide with configuration examples
  - Advanced settings explanation and future integration options

The implementation maintains full backward compatibility with existing
providers while adding seamless Claude Code support to all Task Master
commands.

* fix(docs): correct invalid commands in claude-code usage examples

- Remove non-existent 'do', 'estimate', and 'analyze' commands
- Replace with actual Task Master commands: next, show, set-status
- Use correct syntax for parse-prd and analyze-complexity

* feat: make @anthropic-ai/claude-code an optional dependency

This change makes the Claude Code SDK package optional, preventing installation failures for users who don't need Claude Code functionality.

Changes:
- Added @anthropic-ai/claude-code to optionalDependencies in package.json
- Implemented lazy loading in language-model.js to only import the SDK when actually used
- Updated documentation to explain the optional installation requirement
- Applied formatting fixes to ensure code consistency

Benefits:
- Users without Claude Code subscriptions don't need to install the dependency
- Reduces package size for users who don't use Claude Code
- Prevents installation failures if the package is unavailable
- Provides clear error messages when the package is needed but not installed

The implementation uses dynamic imports to load the SDK only when doGenerate() or doStream() is called, ensuring the provider can be instantiated without the package present.

* test: add comprehensive tests for ClaudeCodeProvider

Addresses code review feedback about missing automated tests for the ClaudeCodeProvider.

## Changes

- Added unit tests for ClaudeCodeProvider class covering constructor, validateAuth, and getClient methods
- Added unit tests for ClaudeCodeLanguageModel testing lazy loading behavior and error handling
- Added integration tests verifying optional dependency behavior when @anthropic-ai/claude-code is not installed

## Test Coverage

1. **Unit Tests**:
   - ClaudeCodeProvider: Basic functionality, no API key requirement, client creation
   - ClaudeCodeLanguageModel: Model initialization, lazy loading, error messages, warning generation

2. **Integration Tests**:
   - Optional dependency behavior when package is not installed
   - Clear error messages for users about missing package
   - Provider instantiation works but usage fails gracefully

All tests pass and provide comprehensive coverage for the claude-code provider implementation.

* revert: remove maxTokens update functionality from init

This functionality was out of scope for the Claude Code provider PR.
The automatic updating of maxTokens values in config.json during
initialization is a general improvement that should be in a separate PR.

Additionally, Claude Code ignores maxTokens and temperature parameters
anyway, making this change irrelevant for the Claude Code integration.

Removed:
- scripts/modules/update-config-tokens.js
- Import and usage in scripts/init.js

* docs: add Claude Code support information to README

- Added Claude Code to the list of supported providers in Requirements section
- Noted that Claude Code requires no API key but needs Claude Code CLI
- Added example of configuring claude-code/sonnet model
- Created dedicated Claude Code Support section with key information
- Added link to detailed Claude Code setup documentation

This ensures users are aware of the Claude Code option as a no-API-key
alternative for using Claude models.

* style: apply biome formatting to test files

* fix(models): add missing --claude-code flag to models command

The models command was missing the --claude-code provider flag, preventing users from setting Claude Code models via CLI. While the backend already supported claude-code as a provider hint, there was no command-line flag to trigger it.

Changes:
- Added --claude-code option to models command alongside existing provider flags
- Updated provider flags validation to include claudeCode option
- Added claude-code to providerHint logic for all three model roles (main, research, fallback)
- Updated error message to include --claude-code in list of mutually exclusive flags
- Added example usage in help text

This allows users to properly set Claude Code models using commands like:
  task-master models --set-main sonnet --claude-code
  task-master models --set-main opus --claude-code

Without this flag, users would get "Model ID not found" errors when trying to set claude-code models, as the system couldn't determine the correct provider for generic model names like "sonnet" or "opus".

# task-master-ai
## 0.18.0-rc.0
### Minor Changes
- [#830](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/830) [`e9d1bc2`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/e9d1bc2385521c08374a85eba7899e878a51066c) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Can now configure baseURL of provider with `<PROVIDER>_BASE_URL`
- For example:
- `OPENAI_BASE_URL`
- [#460](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/460) [`a09a2d0`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/a09a2d0967a10276623e3f3ead3ed577c15ce62f) Thanks [@joedanz](https://github.com/joedanz)! - Added comprehensive rule profile management:
**New Profile Support**: Added comprehensive IDE profile support with eight specialized profiles: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Cursor, Roo, Trae, VS Code, and Windsurf. Each profile is optimized for its respective IDE with appropriate mappings and configuration.
**Initialization**: You can now specify which rule profiles to include at project initialization using `--rules <profiles>` or `-r <profiles>` (e.g., `task-master init -r cursor,roo`). Only the selected profiles and configuration are included.
**Add/Remove Commands**: `task-master rules add <profiles>` and `task-master rules remove <profiles>` let you manage specific rule profiles and MCP config after initialization, supporting multiple profiles at once.
**Interactive Setup**: `task-master rules setup` launches an interactive prompt to select which rule profiles to add to your project. This does **not** re-initialize your project or affect shell aliases; it only manages rules.
**Selective Removal**: Rules removal intelligently preserves existing non-Task Master rules and files and only removes Task Master-specific rules. Profile directories are only removed when completely empty and all conditions are met (no existing rules, no other files/folders, MCP config completely removed).
**Safety Features**: Confirmation messages clearly explain that only Task Master-specific rules and MCP configurations will be removed, while preserving existing custom rules and other files.
**Robust Validation**: Includes comprehensive checks for array types in MCP config processing and error handling throughout the rules management system.
This enables more flexible, rule-specific project setups with intelligent cleanup that preserves user customizations while safely managing Task Master components.
- Resolves #338
- [#804](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/804) [`1b8c320`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/1b8c320c570473082f1eb4bf9628bff66e799092) Thanks [@ejones40](https://github.com/ejones40)! - Add better support for python projects by adding `pyproject.toml` as a projectRoot marker

The new `research` command provides AI-powered research capabilities that automatically gather relevant project context to answer your questions. The command intelligently selects context from multiple sources and supports interactive follow-up questions in CLI mode.
**Key Features:**
- **Intelligent Task Discovery**: Automatically finds relevant tasks and subtasks using fuzzy search based on your query keywords, supplementing any explicitly provided task IDs
- **Multi-Source Context**: Gathers context from tasks, files, project structure, and custom text to provide comprehensive answers
- **Interactive Follow-ups**: CLI users can ask follow-up questions that build on the conversation history while allowing fresh context discovery for each question
- **Flexible Detail Levels**: Choose from low (concise), medium (balanced), or high (comprehensive) response detail levels
- **Token Transparency**: Displays detailed token breakdown showing context size, sources, and estimated costs
- **Enhanced Display**: Syntax-highlighted code blocks and structured output with clear visual separation
**Usage Examples:**
```bash
# Basic research with auto-discovered context
task-master research "How should I implement user authentication?"
# Research with specific task context
task-master research "What's the best approach for this?" --id=15,23.2
# Research with file context and project tree
task-master research "How does the current auth system work?" --files=src/auth.js,config/auth.json --tree
# Research with custom context and low detail
task-master research "Quick implementation steps?" --context="Using JWT tokens" --detail=low
```
**Context Sources:**
- **Tasks**: Automatically discovers relevant tasks/subtasks via fuzzy search, plus any explicitly specified via `--id`
- **Files**: Include specific files via `--files` for code-aware responses
- **Project Tree**: Add `--tree` to include project structure overview
- **Custom Context**: Provide additional context via `--context` for domain-specific information
**Interactive Features (CLI only):**
- Follow-up questions that maintain conversation history
- Fresh fuzzy search for each follow-up to discover newly relevant tasks
- Cumulative context building across the conversation
- Clean visual separation between exchanges
- **Save to Tasks**: Save entire research conversations (including follow-ups) directly to task or subtask details with timestamps
- **Clean Menu Interface**: Streamlined inquirer-based menu for follow-up actions without redundant UI elements
**Save Functionality:**
The research command now supports saving complete conversation threads to tasks or subtasks:
- Save research results and follow-up conversations to any task (e.g., "15") or subtask (e.g., "15.2")
- Automatic timestamping and formatting of conversation history
- Validation of task/subtask existence before saving
- Appends to existing task details without overwriting content
- Supports both CLI interactive mode and MCP programmatic access via `--save-to` flag
**Enhanced CLI Options:**
```bash
# Auto-save research results to a task
task-master research "Implementation approach?" --save-to=15
# Combine auto-save with context gathering
task-master research "How to optimize this?" --id=23 --save-to=23.1
```
**MCP Integration:**
- `saveTo` parameter for automatic saving to specified task/subtask ID
- Structured response format with telemetry data
- Silent operation mode for programmatic usage
- Full feature parity with CLI except interactive follow-ups
The research command integrates with the existing AI service layer and supports all configured AI providers. Both CLI and MCP interfaces provide comprehensive research capabilities with intelligent context gathering and flexible output options.
- [#779](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/779) [`c0b3f43`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/c0b3f432a60891550b00acb113dc877bd432995f) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Enhance update-task with --append flag for timestamped task updates
Adds the `--append` flag to `update-task` command, enabling it to behave like `update-subtask` with timestamped information appending. This provides more flexible task updating options:
**CLI Enhancement:**
- `task-master update-task --id=5 --prompt="New info"` - Full task update (existing behavior)
- `task-master update-task --id=5 --append --prompt="Progress update"` - Append timestamped info to task details
**Full MCP Integration:**
- MCP tool `update_task` now supports `append` parameter
- Seamless integration with Cursor and other MCP clients
- Consistent behavior between CLI and MCP interfaces
Instead of requiring separate subtask creation for progress tracking, you can now append timestamped information directly to parent tasks while preserving the option for comprehensive task updates.
- [#779](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/779) [`c0b3f43`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/c0b3f432a60891550b00acb113dc877bd432995f) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Add --tag flag support to core commands for multi-context task management. Commands like parse-prd, analyze-complexity, and others now support targeting specific task lists, enabling rapid prototyping and parallel development workflows.
Key features:
- parse-prd --tag=feature-name: Parse PRDs into separate task contexts on the fly
- analyze-complexity --tag=branch: Generate tag-specific complexity reports
- All task operations can target specific contexts while preserving other lists
- Non-existent tags are created automatically for seamless workflow
- [#779](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/779) [`c0b3f43`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/c0b3f432a60891550b00acb113dc877bd432995f) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Introduces Tagged Lists: AI Multi-Context Task Management System
This major feature release introduces Tagged Lists, a comprehensive system that transforms Taskmaster into a multi-context task management powerhouse. You can now organize tasks into completely isolated contexts, enabling parallel (agentic) development workflows, team collaboration, and project experimentation without conflicts.
**🏷️ Tagged Task Lists Architecture:**
The new tagged system fundamentally improves how tasks are organized:
- **Legacy Format**: `{ "tasks": [...] }`
- **New Tagged Format**: `{ "master": { "tasks": [...], "metadata": {...} }, "feature-xyz": { "tasks": [...], "metadata": {...} } }`
- **Automatic Migration**: Existing projects will seamlessly migrate to tagged format with zero user intervention
- **State Management**: New `.taskmaster/state.json` tracks current tag, last switched time, migration status and more.
- **Configuration Integration**: Enhanced `.taskmaster/config.json` with tag-specific settings and defaults.
By default, your existing task list will be migrated to the `master` tag.
**🚀 Complete Tag Management Suite:**
**Core Tag Commands:**
- `task-master tags [--show-metadata]` - List all tags with task counts, completion stats, and metadata
- `task-master add-tag <name> [options]` - Create new tag contexts with optional task copying
- `task-master delete-tag <name> [--yes]` - Delete tags (and attached tasks) with double confirmation protection
- `task-master use-tag <name>` - Switch contexts and immediately see next available task
- `task-master rename-tag <old> <new>` - Rename tags with automatic current tag reference updates
- `task-master copy-tag <source> <target> [options]` - Duplicate tag contexts for experimentation
**🤖 Full MCP Integration for Tag Management:**
Task Master's multi-context capabilities are now fully exposed through the MCP server, enabling powerful agentic workflows:
- **`list_tags`**: List all available tag contexts.
- **`add_tag`**: Programmatically create new tags.
- **`delete_tag`**: Remove tag contexts.
- **`use_tag`**: Switch the agent's active task context.
- **`rename_tag`**: Rename existing tags.
- **`copy_tag`**: Duplicate entire task contexts for experimentation.
**Tag Creation Options:**
- `--copy-from-current` - Copy tasks from currently active tag
- `--copy-from=<tag>` - Copy tasks from specific tag
- `--from-branch` - Creates a new tag using the active git branch name (for `add-tag` only)
- `--description="<text>"` - Add custom tag descriptions
- Empty tag creation for fresh contexts
**🎯 Universal --tag Flag Support:**
Every task operation now supports tag-specific execution:
- `task-master list --tag=feature-branch` - View tasks in specific context
- `task-master add-task --tag=experiment --prompt="..."` - Create tasks in specific tag
- `task-master parse-prd document.txt --tag=v2-redesign` - Parse PRDs into dedicated contexts
- `task-master analyze-complexity --tag=performance-work` - Generate tag-specific reports
- `task-master set-status --tag=hotfix --id=5 --status=done` - Update tasks in specific contexts
- `task-master expand --tag=research --id=3` - Break down tasks within tag contexts
This way you or your agent can store out of context tasks into the appropriate tags for later, allowing you to maintain a groomed and scoped master list. Focus on value, not chores.
**📊 Enhanced Workflow Features:**
**Smart Context Switching:**
- `use-tag` command shows immediate next task after switching
- Automatic tag creation when targeting non-existent tags
- Current tag persistence across terminal sessions
- Branch-tag mapping for future Git integration
**Intelligent File Management:**
- Tag-specific complexity reports: `task-complexity-report_tagname.json`
- Master tag uses default filenames: `task-complexity-report.json`
- Automatic file isolation prevents cross-tag contamination
**Advanced Confirmation Logic:**
- Commands only prompt when target tag has existing tasks
- Empty tags allow immediate operations without confirmation
- Smart append vs overwrite detection
**🔄 Seamless Migration & Compatibility:**
**Zero-Disruption Migration:**
- Existing `tasks.json` files automatically migrate on first command
- Master tag receives proper metadata (creation date, description)
- Migration notice shown once with helpful explanation
- All existing commands work identically to before
**State Management:**
- `.taskmaster/state.json` tracks current tag and migration status
- Automatic state creation and maintenance
- Branch-tag mapping foundation for Git integration
- Migration notice tracking to avoid repeated notifications
- Grounds for future context additions
**Backward Compatibility:**

- **Faster Context Gathering**: AI agents can collect multiple tasks/subtasks in one call instead of iterating
- **Improved Workflow**: Interactive batch operations reduce repetitive command execution
- **Better UX**: Responsive layout adapts to terminal width, maintains consistency with existing UI patterns
- **API Efficiency**: RESTful array responses in MCP format enable more sophisticated integrations
This enhancement maintains full backward compatibility while significantly improving efficiency for both human users and AI agents working with multiple tasks.

- **Fixed moving tasks to become subtasks of empty parents**: When moving a task to become a subtask of a parent that had no existing subtasks (e.g., task 89 → task 98.1), the operation would fail with validation errors.
- **Fixed moving subtasks between parents**: Subtasks can now be properly moved between different parent tasks, including to parents that previously had no subtasks.
- **Improved comma-separated batch moves**: Multiple tasks can now be moved simultaneously using comma-separated IDs (e.g., "88,90" → "92,93") with proper error handling and atomic operations.
These fixes enables proper task hierarchy reorganization for corner cases that were previously broken.

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.

- [#619](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/619) [`3f64202`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/3f64202c9feef83f2bf383c79e4367d337c37e20) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - 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.

When used, Taskmaster leverages the research model to:
- Research current technologies and best practices relevant to the project
- Identify technical challenges and security concerns not explicitly mentioned in the PRD
- Include specific library recommendations with version numbers
- Provide more detailed implementation guidance based on industry standards
- Create more accurate dependency relationships between tasks
This results in higher quality, more actionable tasks with minimal additional effort.
_NOTE_ That this is an experimental feature. Research models don't typically do great at structured output. You may find some failures when using research mode, so please share your feedback so we can improve this.

When you add a new task, Taskmaster now automatically: - Analyzes your existing tasks to find those most relevant to your new task's description. - Provides the AI with detailed context from these relevant tasks.
This results in newly created tasks being more accurately placed within your project's dependency structure, saving you time and any need to update tasks just for dependencies, all without significantly increasing AI costs. You'll get smarter, more connected tasks right from the start.

This new command supports moving standalone tasks to become subtasks, subtasks to become standalone tasks, and moving subtasks between different parents. The implementation handles circular dependencies, validation, and proper updating of parent-child relationships.
**Usage:**
- CLI command: `task-master move --from=<id> --to=<id>`
- MCP tool: `move_task` with parameters:
- `from`: ID of task/subtask to move (e.g., "5" or "5.2")
- `to`: ID of destination (e.g., "7" or "7.3")
- `file` (optional): Custom path to tasks.json
**Example scenarios:**
- Move task to become subtask: `--from="5" --to="7"`
- Move subtask to standalone task: `--from="5.2" --to="7"`
- Move subtask to different parent: `--from="5.2" --to="7.3"`
- Reorder subtask within same parent: `--from="5.2" --to="5.4"`
- Move multiple tasks at once: `--from="10,11,12" --to="16,17,18"`
- Move task to new ID: `--from="5" --to="25"` (creates a new task with ID 25)
**Multiple Task Support:**
The command supports moving multiple tasks simultaneously by providing comma-separated lists for both `--from` and `--to` parameters. The number of source and destination IDs must match. This is particularly useful for resolving merge conflicts in task files when multiple team members have created tasks on different branches.
**Validation Features:**
- Allows moving tasks to new, non-existent IDs (automatically creates placeholders)
- Prevents moving to existing task IDs that already contain content (to avoid overwriting)
- Validates source tasks exist before attempting to move them
- Ensures proper parent-child relationships are maintained

- You can now add it by running `task-master models --setup` and selecting it.
- Ollama is a local model provider, so no API key is required.
- Ollama models are available at `http://localhost:11434/api` by default.
- You can change the default URL by setting the `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` environment variable or by adding a `baseUrl` property to the `ollama` model role in `.taskmasterconfig`.
- If you want to use a custom API key, you can set it in the `OLLAMA_API_KEY` environment variable.

- Integrate `task-complexity-report.json` to automatically determine the number of subtasks and use tailored prompts for expansion based on prior analysis. You no longer need to try copy-pasting the recommended prompt. If it exists, it will use it for you. You can just run `task-master update --id=[id of task] --research` and it will use that prompt automatically. No extra prompt needed.
- Change default behavior to _append_ new subtasks to existing ones. Use the `--force` flag to clear existing subtasks before expanding. This is helpful if you need to add more subtasks to a task but you want to do it by the batch from a given prompt. Use force if you want to start fresh with a task's subtasks.

Users can now configure models available through OpenRouter (requiring an `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) via the `task-master models` command, granting access to a wide range of additional LLMs. - IMPORTANT FYI ABOUT OPENROUTER: Taskmaster relies on AI SDK, which itself relies on tool use. It looks like **free** models sometimes do not include tool use. For example, Gemini 2.5 pro (free) failed via OpenRouter (no tool use) but worked fine on the paid version of the model. Custom model support for Open Router is considered experimental and likely will not be further improved for some time.

Adds models command and setter flags. Adds a --setup flag with an interactive setup. We should be calling this during init. Shows a table of active and available models when models is called without flags. Includes SWE scores and token costs, which are manually entered into the supported_models.json, the new place where models are defined for support.

- Adds the `--ollama` and `--openrouter` flags to `task-master models --set-<role>` command to set models for those providers outside of the support models list.
- Updated `task-master models --setup` interactive mode with options to explicitly enter custom Ollama or OpenRouter model IDs.
- Implemented live validation against OpenRouter API (`/api/v1/models`) when setting a custom OpenRouter model ID (via flag or setup).
- Refined logic to prioritize explicit provider flags/choices over internal model list lookups in case of ID conflicts.
- Added warnings when setting custom/unvalidated models.
- We obviously don't recommend going with a custom, unproven model. If you do and find performance is good, please let us know so we can add it to the list of supported models.

- **Update Initialization Dependencies:** Ensure newly initialized projects (`task-master init`) include all required AI SDK dependencies (`@ai-sdk/*`, `ai`, provider wrappers) in their `package.json` for out-of-the-box AI feature compatibility. Remove unnecessary dependencies (e.g., `uuid`) from the init template.
- **Silence `npm install` during `init`:** Prevent `npm install` output from interfering with non-interactive/MCP initialization by suppressing its stdio in silent mode.
- **Improve Conditional Model Setup:** Reliably skip interactive `models --setup` during non-interactive `init` runs (e.g., `init -y` or MCP) by checking `isSilentMode()` instead of passing flags.
- **Refactor `init.js`:** Remove internal `isInteractive` flag logic.
- **Update `init` Instructions:** Tweak the "Getting Started" text displayed after `init`.
- **Fix MCP Server Launch:** Update `.cursor/mcp.json` template to use `node ./mcp-server/server.js` instead of `npx task-master-mcp`.
- **Update Default Model:** Change the default main model in the `.taskmasterconfig` template.

Previously, it only considered top-level tasks, making its recommendation less useful when a parent task containing subtasks was already marked 'in-progress'. - The updated logic now prioritizes finding the next available subtask within any 'in-progress' parent task, considering subtask dependencies and priority. - If no suitable subtask is found within active parent tasks, it falls back to recommending the next eligible top-level task based on the original criteria (status, dependencies, priority).
This change makes the next command much more relevant and helpful during the implementation phase of complex tasks.

Using the `--setup` flag launches an interactive set up that allows you to easily select the models you want to use for each of the three roles. Use `q` during the interactive setup to cancel the setup. - In the MCP, responses are simplified in RESTful format (instead of the full CLI output). The agent can use the `models` tool with different arguments, including `listAvailableModels` to get available models. Run without arguments, it will return the current configuration. Arguments are available to set the model for each of the three roles. This allows you to manage Taskmaster AI providers and models directly from either the CLI or MCP or both. - Updated the CLI help menu when you run `task-master` to include missing commands and .taskmasterconfig information. - Adds `--research` flag to `add-task` so you can hit up Perplexity right from the add-task flow, rather than having to add a task and then update it.

## 0.11.0
### Minor Changes
- [#71](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/71) [`7141062`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/71410629ba187776d92a31ea0729b2ff341b5e38) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - - **Easier Ways to Use Taskmaster (CLI & MCP):**
- You can now use Taskmaster either by installing it as a standard command-line tool (`task-master`) or as an MCP server directly within integrated development tools like Cursor (using its built-in features). **This makes Taskmaster accessible regardless of your preferred workflow.**
- Setting up a new project is simpler in integrated tools, thanks to the new `initialize_project` capability.
- **Complete MCP Implementation:**
- NOTE: Many MCP clients charge on a per tool basis. In that regard, the most cost-efficient way to use Taskmaster is through the CLI directly. Otherwise, the MCP offers the smoothest and most recommended user experience.
- All MCP tools now follow a standardized output format that mimicks RESTful API responses. They are lean JSON responses that are context-efficient. This is a net improvement over the last version which sent the whole CLI output directly, which needlessly wasted tokens.
- Added a `remove-task` command to permanently delete tasks you no longer need.
- Many new MCP tools are available for managing tasks (updating details, adding/removing subtasks, generating task files, setting status, finding the next task, breaking down complex tasks, handling dependencies, analyzing complexity, etc.), usable both from the command line and integrated tools. **(See the `taskmaster.mdc` reference guide and improved readme for a full list).**
- **Better Task Tracking:**
- Added a "cancelled" status option for tasks, providing more ways to categorize work.
- **Smoother Experience in Integrated Tools:**
- Long-running operations (like breaking down tasks or analysis) now run in the background **via an Async Operation Manager** with progress updates, so you know what's happening without waiting and can check status later.
- **Improved Documentation:**
- Added a comprehensive reference guide (`taskmaster.mdc`) detailing all commands and tools with examples, usage tips, and troubleshooting info. This is mostly for use by the AI but can be useful for human users as well.
- Updated the main README with clearer instructions and added a new tutorial/examples guide.
- Added documentation listing supported integrated tools (like Cursor).
- **Increased Stability & Reliability:**
- Using Taskmaster within integrated tools (like Cursor) is now **more stable and the recommended approach.**
- Added automated testing (CI) to catch issues earlier, leading to a more reliable tool.
- Fixed release process issues to ensure users get the correct package versions when installing or updating via npm.
- **Better Command-Line Experience:**
- Fixed bugs in the `expand-all` command that could cause **NaN errors or JSON formatting issues (especially when using `--research`).**
- Fixed issues with parameter validation in the `analyze-complexity` command (specifically related to the `threshold` parameter).
- Made the `add-task` command more consistent by adding standard flags like `--title`, `--description` for manual task creation so you don't have to use `--prompt` and can quickly drop new ideas and stay in your flow.
- Improved error messages for incorrect commands or flags, making them easier to understand.
- Added confirmation warnings before permanently deleting tasks (`remove-task`) to prevent mistakes. There's a known bug for deleting multiple tasks with comma-separated values. It'll be fixed next release.
- Renamed some background tool names used by integrated tools (e.g., `list-tasks` is now `get_tasks`) to be more intuitive if seen in logs or AI interactions.
- Smoother project start: **Improved the guidance provided to AI assistants immediately after setup** (related to `init` and `parse-prd` steps). This ensures the AI doesn't go on a tangent deciding its own workflow, and follows the exact process outlined in the Taskmaster workflow.
- **Clearer Error Messages:**
- When generating subtasks fails, error messages are now clearer, **including specific task IDs and potential suggestions.**
- AI fallback from Claude to Perplexity now also works the other way around. If Perplexity is down, will switch to Claude.
- **Simplified Setup & Configuration:**
- Made it clearer how to configure API keys depending on whether you're using the command-line tool (`.env` file) or an integrated tool (`.cursor/mcp.json` file).
- Taskmaster is now better at automatically finding your project files, especially in integrated tools, reducing the need for manual path settings.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent Taskmaster from working correctly immediately after initialization in integrated tools (related to how the MCP server was invoked). This should solve the issue most users were experiencing with the last release (0.10.x)
- Updated setup templates with clearer examples for API keys.
- \*\*For advanced users setting up the MCP server manually, the command is now `npx -y task-master-ai task-master-mcp`.
- **Enhanced Performance & AI:**
- Updated underlying AI model settings:
- **Increased Context Window:** Can now handle larger projects/tasks due to an increased Claude context window (64k -> 128k tokens).
- **Reduced AI randomness:** More consistent and predictable AI outputs (temperature 0.4 -> 0.2).
- **Updated default AI models:** Uses newer models like `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219` and Perplexity `sonar-pro` by default.
- **More granular breakdown:** Increased the default number of subtasks generated by `expand` to 5 (from 4).
- **Consistent defaults:** Set the default priority for new tasks consistently to "medium".
- Improved performance when viewing task details in integrated tools by sending less redundant data.
- **Documentation Clarity:**
- Clarified in documentation that Markdown files (`.md`) can be used for Product Requirements Documents (`parse_prd`).
- Improved the description for the `numTasks` option in `parse_prd` for better guidance.
- **Improved Visuals (CLI):**
- Enhanced the look and feel of progress bars and status updates in the command line.
- Added a helpful color-coded progress bar to the task details view (`show` command) to visualize subtask completion.
- Made progress bars show a breakdown of task statuses (e.g., how many are pending vs. done).
- Made status counts clearer with text labels next to icons.
- Prevented progress bars from messing up the display on smaller terminal windows.
- Adjusted how progress is calculated for 'deferred' and 'cancelled' tasks in the progress bar, while still showing their distinct status visually.
- **Fixes for Integrated Tools:**
- Fixed how progress updates are sent to integrated tools, ensuring they display correctly.
- Fixed internal issues that could cause errors or invalid JSON responses when using Taskmaster with integrated tools.
