Task Master will automatically trawl your project directory for task scripts, e.g. npm, gulp, shell, python, ruby, powershell, perl scripts etc... and allow you to execute each task with the click of a mouse!
The days of having to configure a task runner per project, or manually type out task scripts are over!
Features
Never configure a task runner or manually type out task scripts again!
Automatically search for tasks inside the current active project.
Execution of tasks through Status Bar Menu.
Task Master will automatically search for and configure tasks for new project.
Supports NPM Tasks.
Supports Gulp Tasks.
Supports Shell Scripts.
Supports Python Scripts.
Supports Ruby Scripts.
Supports Perl Scripts
Supports Powershell Scripts (Experimental)
Requirements
Other than NPM or Gulp? None.
But if you're lazy (like me) and you don't like typing out task scripts or configuring the task runner everytime you switch projects then this extension is definitely for you.

Known Issues
There is currently a known issue in VSCode 1.4 on Windows with runSelectedTasks method. This is known to Microsoft and hopefully should be resolved (or switched out) in v1.5.
I'm aware of this issue and have coded around it.
