v0.16.2

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.

v0.15.0

Minor Changes

• #567 09add37 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Added comprehensive Ollama model validation and interactive setup support

  • Interactive Setup Enhancement: Added "Custom Ollama model" option to task-master models --setup, matching the existing OpenRouter functionality
  • Live Model Validation: When setting Ollama models, Taskmaster now validates against the local Ollama instance by querying /api/tags endpoint
  • Configurable Endpoints: Uses the ollamaBaseUrl from .taskmasterconfig (with role-specific baseUrl overrides supported)
  • Robust Error Handling:
    • Detects when Ollama server is not running and provides clear error messages
    • Validates model existence and lists available alternatives when model not found
    • Graceful fallback behavior for connection issues
  • Full Platform Support: Both MCP server tools and CLI commands support the new validation
  • Improved User Experience: Clear feedback during model validation with informative success/error messages

• #567 4c83526 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Adds and updates supported AI models with costs:

  • Added new OpenRouter models: GPT-4.1 series, O3, Codex Mini, Llama 4 Maverick, Llama 4 Scout, Qwen3-235b
  • Added Mistral models: Devstral Small, Mistral Nemo
  • Updated Ollama models with latest variants: Devstral, Qwen3, Mistral-small3.1, Llama3.3
  • Updated Gemini model to latest 2.5 Flash preview version

• #567 70f4054 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Add --research flag to parse-prd command, enabling enhanced task generation from PRD files. 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.

• #567 5e9bc28 Thanks @eyaltoledano!

  • This change significantly enhances the add-task command's intelligence. 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.

• #567 34c769b Thanks @eyaltoledano!

  • Enhance analyze-complexity to support analyzing specific task IDs.
  • You can now analyze individual tasks or selected task groups by using the new --id option with comma-separated IDs, or --from and --to options to specify a range of tasks.
  • The feature intelligently merges analysis results with existing reports, allowing incremental analysis while preserving previous results.

• #558 86d8f00 Thanks @ShreyPaharia!

  • Add next task to set task status response Status: DONE

• #567 04af16d Thanks @eyaltoledano!

  • Add move command to enable moving tasks and subtasks within the task hierarchy.
  • 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

Patch Changes

• #567 231e569 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Adjusts default main model model to Claude Sonnet 4. Adjusts default fallback to Claude Sonney 3.7"

• #567 b371808 Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Adds llms-install.md to the root to enable AI agents to programmatically install the Taskmaster MCP server.
