Enhanced Task Finding & Fuzzy Search Intelligence

Patch Changes

• #695 1ece6f1 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - improve findTasks algorithm for resolving tasks path

• #695 ee0be04 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix update tool on MCP giving No valid tasks found

• #699 27edbd8 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Enhanced add-task fuzzy search intelligence and improved user experience

  Smarter Task Discovery:

  • Remove hardcoded category system that always matched "Task management"
  • Eliminate arbitrary limits on fuzzy search results (5→25 high relevance, 3→10 medium relevance, 8→20 detailed tasks)
  • Improve semantic weighting in Fuse.js search (details=3, description=2, title=1.5) for better relevance
  • Generate context-driven task recommendations based on true semantic similarity

  Enhanced Terminal Experience:

  • Fix duplicate banner display issue that was "eating" terminal history (closes #553)
  • Remove console.clear() and redundant displayBanner() calls from UI functions
  • Preserve command history for better development workflow
  • Streamline banner display across all commands (list, next, show, set-status, clear-subtasks, dependency commands)

  Visual Improvements:

  • Replace emoji complexity indicators with clean filled circle characters (●) for professional appearance
  • Improve consistency and readability of task complexity display

  AI Provider Compatibility:

  • Change generateObject mode from 'tool' to 'auto' for better cross-provider compatibility
  • Add qwen3-235n-a22b:free model support (closes #687)
  • Add smart warnings for free OpenRouter models with limitations (rate limits, restricted context, no tool_use)

  Technical Improvements:

  • Enhanced context generation in add-task to rely on semantic similarity rather than rigid pattern matching
  • Improved dependency analysis and common pattern detection
  • Better handling of task relationships and relevance scoring
  • More intelligent task suggestion algorithms

  The add-task system now provides truly relevant task context based on semantic understanding rather than arbitrary categories and limits, while maintaining a cleaner and more professional terminal experience.

• #655 edaa5fe Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix double .taskmaster directory paths in file resolution utilities

  • Closes #636

• #671 86ea6d1 Thanks @joedanz! - Add one-click MCP server installation for Cursor

• #699 2e55757 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Add sync-readme command for a task export to GitHub README

  Introduces a new sync-readme command that exports your task list to your project's README.md file.

  Features:

  • Flexible filtering: Supports --status filtering (e.g., pending, done) and --with-subtasks flag
  • Smart content management: Automatically replaces existing exports or appends to new READMEs
  • Metadata display: Shows export timestamp, subtask inclusion status, and filter settings

  Usage:

  • task-master sync-readme - Export tasks without subtasks
  • task-master sync-readme --with-subtasks - Include subtasks in export
  • task-master sync-readme --status=pending - Only export pending tasks
  • task-master sync-readme --status=done --with-subtasks - Export completed tasks with subtasks

  Perfect for showcasing project progress on GitHub. Experimental. Open to feedback.
