Running the CLI migrates your .taskless/ layout. That covers the directory. A rule whose matching changed under a new engine version comes through untouched.
taskless update walks a ledger and names what changed for the rules you have. 0.11.2 makes init tell you to run it.

Agents write bad frontmatter, usually while editing a file for some other reason.
One malformed file aborted the whole Vale run, so taskless check reported [], and [] reads like a clean pass.
0.11.2 fixes that along with a dozen other little things.

Hello oxlint - Taskless 0.11.3 will detect oxlint and offer to help write an oxlint rule for you if it can't find one in the oxlint's vast directory.
Markdown files are nice, but enforcement is better. <3
What linter(s) should join oxlint in the next release?

eslint and ruff settled the style of the code we write, but neither checked the words in comments and prose. Taskless 0.11 runs Vale beside ast-grep, so "the docs always say sign in" becomes a check that fails.

Three checkers, one command. taskless check runs ast-grep for structure, Vale for prose, & your own executable checks, then merges the findings into one result. One config to keep instead of three.

AI buried code review.
The diff that was 200 lines is now 2,000, and a senior engineer still says "don't use inline styles" for the hundredth time. Taskless makes the rule catch itself so it never comes back.

Here's a rule your linter can't write: every env var you read with process.env has to be documented in .env.example. Your linter can't check your code against a config file.
Runtime rules can, and they shipped in Taskless 0.10.0.

Nobody gets upset when the computer tells you you're wrong.
The same note in code review stings. As a red squiggle on save, you just fix it. That's the case for shifting left, and what Taskless automates.
