Minor Changes

• #1286 f12a16d Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Add changelog highlights to auto-update notifications

  When the CLI auto-updates to a new version, it now displays a "What's New" section.

• #1293 3010b90 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Add Claude Code plugin with marketplace distribution

  This release introduces official Claude Code plugin support, marking the evolution from legacy .claude directory copying to a modern plugin-based architecture.

  🎉 New: Claude Code Plugin

  Task Master AI commands and agents are now distributed as a proper Claude Code plugin:

  • 49 slash commands with clean naming (/taskmaster:command-name)
  • 3 specialized AI agents (task-orchestrator, task-executor, task-checker)
  • MCP server integration for deep Claude Code integration

  Installation:

  /plugin marketplace add eyaltoledano/claude-task-master
  /plugin install taskmaster@taskmaster

  The rules add claude command no longer copies commands and agents to .claude/commands/ and .claude/agents/. Instead, it now

  • Shows plugin installation instructions
  • Only manages CLAUDE.md imports for agent instructions
  • Directs users to install the official plugin

  Migration for Existing Users:

  If you previously used rules add claude:

  1. The old commands in .claude/commands/ will continue to work but won't receive updates
  2. Install the plugin for the latest features: /plugin install taskmaster@taskmaster
  3. remove old .claude/commands/ and .claude/agents/ directories

  Why This Change?

  Claude Code plugins provide:

  • ✅ Automatic updates when we release new features
  • ✅ Better command organization and naming
  • ✅ Seamless integration with Claude Code
  • ✅ No manual file copying or management

  The plugin system is the future of Task Master AI integration with Claude Code!

• #1285 2a910a4 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Add RPG (Repository Planning Graph) method template for structured PRD creation. The new example_prd_rpg.txt template teaches AI agents and developers the RPG methodology through embedded instructions, inline good/bad examples, and XML-style tags for structure. This template enables creation of dependency-aware PRDs that automatically generate topologically-ordered task graphs when parsed with Task Master.

  Key features:

  • Method-as-template: teaches RPG principles (dual-semantics, explicit dependencies, topological order) while being used
  • Inline instructions at decision points guide AI through each section
  • Good/bad examples for immediate pattern matching
  • Flexible plain-text format with XML-style tags for parseability
  • Critical dependency-graph section ensures correct task ordering
  • Automatic inclusion during task-master init
  • Comprehensive documentation at docs.task-master.dev/capabilities/rpg-method
  • Tool recommendations for code-context-aware PRD creation (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex/Grok)

  The RPG template complements the existing example_prd.txt and provides a more structured approach for complex projects requiring clear module boundaries and dependency chains.

• #1287 90e6bdc Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Enhance expand_all to intelligently use complexity analysis recommendations when expanding tasks.

  The expand-all operation now automatically leverages recommendations from analyze-complexity to determine optimal subtask counts for each task, resulting in more accurate and context-aware task breakdowns.

  Key improvements:

  • Automatic integration with complexity analysis reports
  • Tag-aware complexity report path resolution
  • Intelligent subtask count determination based on task complexity
  • Falls back to defaults when complexity analysis is unavailable
  • Enhanced logging for better visibility into expansion decisions

  When you run task-master expand --all after task-master analyze-complexity, Task Master now uses the recommended subtask counts from the complexity analysis instead of applying uniform defaults, ensuring each task is broken down according to its actual complexity.

Patch Changes

• #1191 aaf903f Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix cross-level task dependencies not being saved

  Fixes an issue where adding dependencies between subtasks and top-level tasks (e.g., task-master add-dependency --id=2.2 --depends-on=11) would report success but fail to persist the changes. Dependencies can now be created in both directions between any task levels.

• #1299 4c1ef2c Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Improve refresh token when authenticating
