just shipped taskmaster v0.17 🚀 → multi-context task management via tagged lists → `research` MCP tool with interactive CLI → get-task/show upgrades & batch ops → --append for update-task → save research to docs → multi-status filters follow + bookmark + dive in 👀👇

1 tagged lists is our biggest upgrade ever → keep master list clean & focused → spin up isolated contexts for experiments, prototypes & personal tasks → easily create tags for @github branches → taskmaster scales complexity per project maturity it's next-level flexibility

rapid prototyping and versioned task lists → clearly separate experimental work → easily manage tasks across versions/teammates → keep your master task list stable & release-ready your agent will intelligently suggest creating tags like mvp, v1, when and if appropriate

taskmaster multiplayer is finally possible → taskmaster proactively suggests personal tags → avoid conflicts & keep your tasks neatly isolated → master list stays full of business value → other tagged lists for chores, refactors, experiments perfect for existing codebases

tackling something ambitious? → taskmaster will automatically create dedicated tags for major features → agent will research, co-author and generate PRDs to parse them into isolated task lists → strategic planning made effortless → use --tag on any command which means...

agentic parallel development workflows powered by taskmaster are more powerful than ever → isolate work for agents to complete in tagged list → spin up parallel agents against pending tasks on list → agent can research, generate PRDs, parse them, expand them, and deliver 🤖

2 introducing the new `research` MCP tool and CLI your agent can now: → query fresh, latest info beyond AI knowledge cutoff → challenge its own assumptions, validate approaches, find best practices & debug smarter → integrated directly into taskmaster workflow more:

the main goal of the research command is to make your agent even smarter but it also comes with an interactive CLI: → explore ideas without leaving the terminal → ask follow-up questions → save info into tasks → export to files and use as a PRD fully workflow integration

research results are fully actionable: → save directly to tasks/subtasks (--save-to) → export full research conversations to markdown docs → build PRDs & strategic plans from fresh insights research is powered by your research model of choice use it to explore raw ideas

3 you no longer need to call get-task/show on one tasks/subtask at a time. just get it all at once. → batch-fetch multiple tasks/subtasks at once → richer task details & dependency visualization → agent instantly sees what's next & what's blocking will save many tool calls

the `show` CLI command now accepts comma-separated tasks/subtasks → scope down task lists to a small task selections → execute batch actions like setting statuses → expand ranges of tasks this will get more love over time as we polish CLI more

4 --append flag support for update-task too → append timestamped notes & progress updates → perfect for iterative logging & tracking implementation journeys → keep your task history rich & informative works just like --append for update-subtask

5 multi-status filters for the `get_tasks` MCP tool and `list` CLI → filter your lists by multiple statuses at a time → helpful for consolidating items for review → crucial for scoping agentic workflow progress pass multiple comma-separated statuses to use this

6 QoL & other fixes → task move & dependency handling → improved batch ops & multi-status filtering → active tag indicators to CLI/MCP outputs → various bug & stability fixes always made with love BUT big upgrades CAN break things plz send any bugs you find, we'll fix

that's it for now, till next time! we're nearing 15,000⭐ @github! v0.17 changelog → npm i -g task-master-ai@latest → MCP auto-updates → join → more info → hug your parents vibe on friends
