Team Mode Task Metadata & Deferred MCP Loading

Tasks in team mode now display rich implementation guidance including relevant files, coding patterns, and acceptance criteria. Plus deferred MCP loading saves 16% of Claude Code's context window.

Minor Changes

  • #1521 353e3bf Thanks @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 1c2228d Thanks @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.
