Hamster Integration, Export Command & Redesigned Init

Minor Changes

• #1452 4046b3c Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Add Hamster integration for parse-prd command

  Your tasks are only as good as the context behind them. Now when you run parse-prd, you can choose to bring your PRD to Hamster instead of parsing locally.

  New Workflow Choice

  • Parse locally: PRD becomes a task list in a local JSON file - great for quick prototyping and vibing solo
  • Bring it to Hamster: PRD becomes a living brief connected to your team, codebase, and agents

  Why Hamster?

  • Tasks live in a central place with real-time sync across your team
  • Collaborate on your PRD/brief together, generate tasks on Hamster, bring them into Taskmaster
  • No API keys needed - Hamster handles all AI inference, just need a Hamster account

  Hamster Integration

  • OAuth login flow when choosing Hamster (same as export command)
  • Create brief directly from PRD content with auto-generated title/description
  • Progress bar showing task generation phases (analyzing, generating, processing)
  • Invite teammates during brief creation
  • Auto-set context to new brief when complete

  Quality of Life

  • Clickable brief URL and team invite URL in terminal
  • Shows task count as they're generated
  • Graceful fallback if generation takes longer than expected

• #1452 4046b3c Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Redesign tm init with clearer workflow selection and reduced noise

  Choose how you want to plan: Solo with Taskmaster or Together with Hamster. The new init flow guides you through setup with context-appropriate options and cleaner output.

  New Workflow Selection

  • Clear framing: "You need a plan before you execute. How do you want to build it?"
  • Solo (Taskmaster): Parse PRD, structured tasks, AI agent executes with control
  • Together (Hamster): Team writes brief, Hamster refines, aligned execution with Taskmaster

  Cleaner Experience

  • Optional AI IDE rules setup (Y/n prompt instead of always showing)
  • 15+ log messages moved to debug level - much less noise
  • Skip Git prompts when using Hamster (not needed for cloud storage)
  • Skip AI model configuration for Hamster (uses Hamster's AI)

  Quality of Life

  • Run tm rules --setup anytime if you declined during init
  • Use --yes flag for fully non-interactive setup
  • Use --rules cursor,windsurf to specify rules upfront

• #1452 4046b3c Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Introduce tm export command - bring Task Master to your team

  Share your task plans with teammates by exporting local tasks to collaborative briefs on Hamster. Select which tags to export, invite team members, and start collaborating instantly.

  New tm export Command

  • Export your local tasks to shareable team briefs
  • Hamster will reverse engineer your PRD based on your tasks (reverse parse prd!)
  • Select multiple tags to export in one go, import all tasks across tags to Hamster
  • Hamster will generate brief titles and descriptions from your task content
  • Automatically sets your CLI context to the new brief
  • All AI calls handled by Hamster, zero API keys needed - just a Hamster account!

  Team Collaboration

  • Invite teammates during export with -I, --invite flag
  • Add up to 10 team members by email
  • See invitation status: sent, already a member, or error

  Quality of Life Improvements

  • New tm login / tm logout shortcuts
  • Display ID shortcuts: tm show ham31 now works (normalizes to HAM-31)
  • Better task rendering with proper HTML/Markdown support

• #1452 4046b3c Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Add simpler positional syntax and Hamster-aware UI improvements

  • Simpler command syntax: Use positional arguments without flags
    • tm update-task 1 Added implementation (no quotes needed for multi-word prompts)
    • tm status 1 done (new alias for set-status) or tm set-status 1,1.1,2 in-progress
    • tm list done or tm list in-progress or tm list all (shortcut for --with-subtasks)
  • Hamster-aware help: Context-specific command list when connected to Hamster
    • Shows only relevant commands for Hamster workflow
    • Beautiful boxed section headers with improved spacing
    • Clear usage examples with new positional syntax
    • Better visual alignment and cleaner formatting
  • Progress indicators: Added loading spinner to update-task when connected to Hamster
  • Improved context display: Show 'Brief: [name]' instead of 'tag: [name]' when connected to Hamster
  • Smart messaging: "NO TASKS AVAILABLE" warning only shows when literally no tasks exist
  • Auto-detection: Automatically detects Hamster connection for better UX
  • Backward compatible: All old flag syntax still works (--id, --status, etc.)

Patch Changes

• #1452 4046b3c Thanks @eyaltoledano! - Add Sentry integration for error tracking and AI telemetry monitoring

  • Sentry Integration: Added comprehensive error tracking and AI operation monitoring using Sentry with Vercel AI SDK integration
  • AI Telemetry: All AI operations (generateText, streamText, generateObject, streamObject) now automatically track spans, token usage, prompts, and responses
  • MCP Server Instrumentation: Wrapped FastMCP server with Sentry.wrapMcpServerWithSentry() to automatically capture spans for all MCP tool interactions
  • Privacy Controls: Added anonymousTelemetry config option (default: true) allowing local storage users to opt out of telemetry

• #1463 55595f6 Thanks @Crunchyman-ralph! - Fix package issue in earlier rc
