Taskmaster Changes

Introducing autonomous test-driven development with `tm autopilot` commands that guide AI agents through complete RED-GREEN-COMMIT cycles. Plus configurable MCP tool loading to reduce AI context usage by 80% with lean mode.

Launch of the official Claude Code plugin with 49 slash commands and 3 AI agents, plus the new RPG (Repository Planning Graph) method for creating dependency-aware PRDs that generate perfectly ordered task graphs.

Unlock GPT-5 and GPT-5-Codex models with 272K context through OAuth-based Codex CLI integration. Major AI SDK v5 migration brings structured output generation and improved reliability across all AI providers.

Fixed critical issue where `tm show` command couldn't find subtasks using dotted notation IDs (e.g., '8.1'), restoring proper subtask navigation and information display.

Improved subtask status handling: parent tasks automatically update to 'done' when all subtasks complete, and to 'in-progress' when any subtask is active or completed.

Major automation release: `tm start` auto-launches Claude Code with comprehensive task context, seamless background auto-updates, Grok CLI support with full codebase context, smart parent task status management, and cross-tag task movement for organized development workflows.

Enhanced Gemini CLI with automatic codebase analysis for context-aware task generation, plus restored Claude Code commands with improved command organization and configurable codebase analysis features.

Prevented crashes when Claude Code SDK is missing through improved error handling and SDK presence checks. Updated dependency to v1.0.88 for better export consistency.

Organize tasks across different contexts with cross-tag movement functionality, plus new Kilo Code profile integration with custom modes and a compact list view for streamlined task management.

Automatic codebase analysis for Claude Code provider in parse-prd, expand-task, and analyze-complexity commands. AI now analyzes project structure, existing implementations, and patterns before generating tasks or subtasks.

Official TaskMaster extension now available on VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry, bringing task management directly into your development environment.

Full Kiro IDE support with 7 autonomous task management agent hooks, plus intelligent prompting to generate complexity reports when missing for better task planning.

Added support for Kiro IDE with custom rule files, MCP configuration, and automatic generation of rule files in .kiro/steering/ directory with markdown format.

Added support for xAI's Grok 4 model with competitive $3/$15 per 1M token pricing, available for main, fallback, and research roles.

Support for gemini-cli provider with free/subscription Google Accounts and Gemini Cloud Assist. AI can now determine optimal task counts based on complexity analysis, plus advanced Claude Code settings.

Configure custom base URLs for AI providers using environment variables like OPENAI_BASE_URL, enabling use of proxy services and alternative endpoints.

Fixed critical contextGatherer bug that caused crashes when adding tasks, resolving 'Cannot read properties of undefined' error for improved stability.

Comprehensive research command with intelligent task discovery through fuzzy search, multi-source context gathering from tasks/files/project structure, and interactive follow-ups for deep project insights.

Improved findTasks algorithm for better path resolution, fixed MCP update tool 'No valid tasks found' error, and enhanced add-task fuzzy search for improved user experience.

Resolved AWS Bedrock integration issues, fixed MCP tool call logging errors, and updated rules for improved directory structure compatibility.

Added support for AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI providers, expanding AI model options with enterprise-grade cloud AI services for enhanced task management capabilities.

Enhanced Ollama integration with live model validation against local instances, interactive setup with custom model options, and real-time validation through /api/tags endpoint queries.

Added Ollama as a supported AI provider with interactive setup, plus per-role base URL configuration (main, research, fallback) allowing custom endpoint overrides for any provider.

Intelligent task expansion that automatically uses complexity analysis to determine subtask counts and tailored prompts. Default append behavior with --force flag for fresh starts, eliminating manual prompt copying.

Fixed critical ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND error when starting MCP Server, ensuring reliable server initialization and module resolution.

Streamlined MCP server access through npx task-master-ai command, replacing complex setup with simple one-command execution for easier integration with development tools.

Choose your workflow: install as a command-line tool (task-master) or use as MCP server within IDEs like Cursor. Includes new initialize_project capability for simplified project setup in integrated tools.

Complete MCP server implementation for all commands using tools, plus automated GitHub Actions for streamlined releases and package management improvements.

Early foundation release of TaskMaster with core task management functionality. See full details at npmjs.com/package/task-master-ai/v/0.9.30.
