Error message

Rule profile for "${profile}" not found. Valid profiles: ${RULE_PROFILES.join(', ')}. Skipping.

Solutions

1. Use one of the listed valid profiles from the warning message
2. Run `task-master rules --help` to see supported profiles
3. Upgrade or downgrade task-master if the profile is only in another version

Example fix

// before
task-master rules add cursorroo
// after
task-master rules add roo,cursor

const RULE_PROFILES = ['cursor','claude','vscode','windsurf','roo','codex','gemini','amazonq','auggie','zed'];
const profiles = args.add?.split(',') ?? [];
const invalid = profiles.filter(p => !RULE_PROFILES.includes(p));
if (invalid.length) throw new Error(`Invalid rule profiles: ${invalid.join(', ')}`);

const isValidProfile = (p) => RULE_PROFILES.includes(p);

When it happens

Trigger: `task-master rules add <profiles>` or `task-master rules remove <profiles>` with a profile name not in RULE_PROFILES (e.g. 'claude' vs 'claude-code', misspellings, or profiles from a newer/older version).

Common situations: Typo in profile name; following outdated docs or blog posts; using a profile that exists in a different task-master version.
