v0.18.0

### Minor Changes

-   [#840](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/840) [`b40139c`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/b40139ca0517fd76aea4f41d0ed4c10e658a5d2b) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Can now configure baseURL of provider with `<PROVIDER>_BASE_URL`

    -   For example:
        -   `OPENAI_BASE_URL`

-   [#840](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/840) [`b40139c`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/b40139ca0517fd76aea4f41d0ed4c10e658a5d2b) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Added comprehensive rule profile management:

    **New Profile Support**: Added comprehensive IDE profile support with eight specialized profiles: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Cursor, Roo, Trae, VS Code, and Windsurf. Each profile is optimized for its respective IDE with appropriate mappings and configuration.
    **Initialization**: You can now specify which rule profiles to include at project initialization using `--rules <profiles>` or `-r <profiles>` (e.g., `task-master init -r cursor,roo`). Only the selected profiles and configuration are included.
    **Add/Remove Commands**: `task-master rules add <profiles>` and `task-master rules remove <profiles>` let you manage specific rule profiles and MCP config after initialization, supporting multiple profiles at once.
    **Interactive Setup**: `task-master rules setup` launches an interactive prompt to select which rule profiles to add to your project. This does **not** re-initialize your project or affect shell aliases; it only manages rules.
    **Selective Removal**: Rules removal intelligently preserves existing non-Task Master rules and files and only removes Task Master-specific rules. Profile directories are only removed when completely empty and all conditions are met (no existing rules, no other files/folders, MCP config completely removed).
    **Safety Features**: Confirmation messages clearly explain that only Task Master-specific rules and MCP configurations will be removed, while preserving existing custom rules and other files.
    **Robust Validation**: Includes comprehensive checks for array types in MCP config processing and error handling throughout the rules management system.

    This enables more flexible, rule-specific project setups with intelligent cleanup that preserves user customizations while safely managing Task Master components.

    -   Resolves #338

    Now works well with:

    -   o3
    -   o3-mini
    -   etc.

-   [#840](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/840) [`b40139c`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/b40139ca0517fd76aea4f41d0ed4c10e658a5d2b) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - - **Git Worktree Detection:**

    -   Now properly skips Git initialization when inside existing Git worktree
    -   Prevents accidental nested repository creation
    -   **Flag System Overhaul:**
        -   `--git`/`--no-git` controls repository initialization
        -   `--aliases`/`--no-aliases` consistently manages shell alias creation
        -   `--git-tasks`/`--no-git-tasks` controls whether task files are stored in Git
        -   `--dry-run` accurately previews all initialization behaviors
    -   **GitTasks Functionality:**
        -   New `--git-tasks` flag includes task files in Git (comments them out in .gitignore)
        -   New `--no-git-tasks` flag excludes task files from Git (default behavior)
        -   Supports both CLI and MCP interfaces with proper parameter passing

    **Implementation Details:**

    -   Added explicit Git worktree detection before initialization
    -   Refactored flag processing to ensure consistent behavior
    -   Fixes #734

    Introduces a new provider that enables using Claude models (Opus and Sonnet) through the Claude Code CLI without requiring an API key.

    Key features:

    -   New claude-code provider with support for opus and sonnet models
    -   No API key required - uses local Claude Code CLI installation
    -   Optional dependency - won't affect users who don't need Claude Code
    -   Lazy loading ensures the provider only loads when requested
    -   Full integration with existing Task Master commands and workflows
    -   Comprehensive test coverage for reliability
    -   New --claude-code flag for the models command

    Users can now configure Claude Code models with:
    task-master models --set-main sonnet --claude-code
    task-master models --set-research opus --claude-code

    The @anthropic-ai/claude-code package is optional and won't be installed unless explicitly needed.
