### Minor Changes

-   [#1521](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1521) [`353e3bf`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/353e3bffd6df528dc19f7c5790564d0dead14c6d) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Enhanced task metadata display for remote/team mode tasks
    -   Tasks now display rich implementation guidance in team mode including:
        -   **Relevant Files**: Files to create, modify, or reference with descriptions
        -   **Codebase Patterns**: Coding patterns and conventions to follow
        -   **Existing Infrastructure**: Code and utilities to leverage
        -   **Scope Boundaries**: What's in and out of scope for the task
        -   **Implementation Approach**: Step-by-step guidance
        -   **Technical Constraints**: Requirements and limitations
        -   **Acceptance Criteria**: Definition of done checklist
        -   **Skills & Category**: Task classification and required expertise
    -   How to see the new task details:
        1.  Create a brief on tryhamster.com
        2.  Generate the plan of the brief
        3.  View subtasks

-   [#1525](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1525) [`1c2228d`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/1c2228dbb618e522798c4484b74c1508f13d61d6) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Add tool search tool for Claude Code MCP server and enable deferred MCP loading
    -   Added new tool search tool capabilities for the Taskmaster MCP in Claude Code
    -   Running `task-master rules add claude` now automatically configures your shell (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, or PowerShell profile) with `ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MCP_CLI=true` to enable deferred MCP loading
    -   **Context savings**: Deferred loading saves ~16% of Claude Code's 200k context window (~33k tokens for Task Master alone). Savings apply to all MCP servers, so total savings may be higher depending on your setup.
