Taskmaster and Improve

Taskmaster seems to be like Garrison and Cargo Ship: If it hasn't triggered yet at the start of Clean-up, it can be trashed with Improve, making it trigger. Except the cost of Taskmaster is $3, so it can't be Improved into a $5 cost card. But let's say we played Improve twice, and we first trash Taskmaster with Improve, and then Improve another card into a $5 cost - then Taskmaster should trigger. And it should keep working every turn even though it's trashed. Am I thinking about it correctly?

Interesting scenario--that all seems correct to me. For what it's worth, I tried this on Dominion Online and it works as you stated. You can continue the effect by buying another 5 cost card the following turn (and each subsequent turn, just like as if Taskmaster stayed in play), and the effect does stop once you don't get a 5 cost card on a turn.

Yes, Taskmaster doesn't look for itself in play.
