Full Release Notes
### Minor Changes
- [#1220](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1220) [`4e12643`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/4e126430a092fb54afb035514fb3d46115714f97) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - No longer need --package=task-master-ai in mcp server
- A lot of users were having issues with Taskmaster and usually a simple fix was to remove --package from your mcp.json
- we now bundle our whole package, so we no longer need the --package
- [#1200](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1200) [`fce8414`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/fce841490a9ebbf1801a42dd8a29397379cf1142) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Add new `task-master start` command for automated task execution with Claude Code
- You can now start working on tasks directly by running `task-master start <task-id>` which will automatically launch Claude Code with a comprehensive prompt containing all task details, implementation guidelines, and context.
- `task-master start` will automatically detect next-task when no ID is provided.
- [#1200](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1200) [`fce8414`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/fce841490a9ebbf1801a42dd8a29397379cf1142) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Move from javascript to typescript, not a full refactor but we now have a typescript environment and are moving our javascript commands slowly into typescript
- [#1200](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1200) [`fce8414`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/fce841490a9ebbf1801a42dd8a29397379cf1142) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Add grok-cli as a provider with full codebase context support. You can now use Grok models (grok-2, grok-3, grok-4, etc.) with Task Master for AI operations that have access to your entire codebase context, enabling more informed task generation and PRD parsing.
## Setup Instructions
1. **Get your Grok API key** from [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai)
2. **Set the environment variable**:
```bash
export GROK_CLI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```
3. **Configure Task Master to use Grok**:
```bash
task-master models --set-main grok-beta
# or
task-master models --set-research grok-beta
# or
task-master models --set-fallback grok-beta
```
## Key Features
- **Full codebase context**: Grok models can analyze your entire project when generating tasks or parsing PRDs
- **xAI model access**: Support for latest Grok models (grok-2, grok-3, grok-4, etc.)
- **Code-aware task generation**: Create more accurate and contextual tasks based on your actual codebase
- **Intelligent PRD parsing**: Parse requirements with understanding of your existing code structure
## Available Models
- `grok-beta` - Latest Grok model with codebase context
- `grok-vision-beta` - Grok with vision capabilities and codebase context
The Grok CLI provider integrates with xAI's Grok models via grok-cli and can also use the local Grok CLI configuration file (`~/.grok/user-settings.json`) if available.

Built using the [grok-cli](https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli) by Superagent AI for seamless integration with xAI's Grok models.
