+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

+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)
+
+**Hamster Integration**
+- OAuth login flow when choosing Hamster workflow
+- Context-aware guidance based on your workflow choice
+
+**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

+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

+- **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
+- **Complete Coverage**: Telemetry enabled for all AI commands including parse-prd, expand, update-task, analyze-complexity, and research
+- **Internal Telemetry**: Sentry DSN is hardcoded internally for Task Master's telemetry (not user-configurable)
+- **Dual Initialization**: Automatic Sentry initialization in both CLI (scripts/dev.js) and MCP Server (mcp-server/src/index.js) with full MCP instrumentation

+# Hamster (Go ham!) Run Task Workflow
+
+This command initiates the HAM (Hamster Automated Management) workflow for task execution.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+/go:ham [task-id]
+```
+
+- `task-id` (optional): Specific task identifier to work on (e.g., "1", "1.2", "2.3.1")
+  - If provided, start working on that specific task immediately
+  - If omitted, automatically identify the next available task
+
+## Process
+
+When the user invokes this command, follow these steps:
+
+### 1. Task Selection
+
+#### If task-id is provided ($ARGUMENTS is not empty):
+```bash
+tm show $ARGUMENTS
+```
+Start working on the specified task immediately, skipping to step 3.
+
+#### If no task-id is provided ($ARGUMENTS is empty):
+```bash
+tm list
+```
+Display all tasks with their current status to provide context.
+
+### 2. Identify Next Task (only if no task-id provided)
+Determine which task should be worked on next based on:
+- Dependencies
+- Priority
+- Current status (pending tasks only)
+
+### 3. Show Task Details (only if task wasn't specified in step 1)
+```bash
+tm show <task-id>
+```
+Display the full details of the identified task including:
+- Title and description
+- Dependencies
+- Test strategy
+- Subtasks (if any)
+
+### 4. Kickoff Workflow
+
+Based on the task type, follow the appropriate workflow:
+
+#### For Main Tasks (e.g., "1", "2", "3")
+- Review the task's subtasks
+- If no subtasks exist, suggest expanding the task first
+- Identify the first pending subtask
+- Begin implementation following the subtask's requirements
+
+#### For Subtasks (e.g., "1.1", "2.3")
+- Mark the subtask as in-progress:
+  ```bash
+  tm set-status --id=<subtask-id> --status=in-progress
+  ```
+- Review the task details and requirements
+- Check for related code files or dependencies
+- Create an implementation plan
+- Begin implementation following project conventions
+
+### 5. Implementation Guidelines
+
+Follow these principles during implementation:
+
+1. **Understand First**: Read related files and understand the current architecture
+2. **Plan**: Create a mental model or brief plan before coding
+3. **Follow Conventions**: Adhere to project structure and coding standards
+4. **Test As You Go**: Validate changes incrementally
+5. **Stay Focused**: Complete the current subtask before moving to the next
+
+### 6. Task Completion
+
+When the subtask is complete:
+```bash
+tm set-status --id=<subtask-id> --status=done
+```
+
+Then automatically check for the next available task by repeating from step 2.
+
+## Example Flows
+
+### With Specific Task ID
+```
+User: "/go:ham 1.2"
+
+1. Claude runs: tm show 1.2
+   → Displays full task details
+2. Claude analyzes the task and creates an implementation plan
+3. Claude marks task in-progress: tm set-status --id=1.2 --status=in-progress
+4. Claude begins implementation following the task requirements
+5. Upon completion, Claude runs: tm set-status --id=1.2 --status=done
+6. Claude automatically identifies next task with tm list
+```
+
+### Without Specific Task ID (Auto-discovery)
+```
+User: "/go:ham"
+
+1. Claude runs: tm list
+2. Claude identifies next available task (e.g., 1.2)
+3. Claude runs: tm show 1.2
+   → Displays full task details
+4. Claude analyzes the task and creates an implementation plan
+5. Claude marks task in-progress: tm set-status --id=1.2 --status=in-progress
+6. Claude begins implementation following the task requirements
+7. Upon completion, Claude runs: tm set-status --id=1.2 --status=done
+8. Claude automatically identifies next task with tm list
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Always verify task dependencies are complete before starting
+- If a task is blocked, mark it as such and move to the next available task
+- Keep the user informed of progress at each major step
+- Ask for clarification if task requirements are unclear
+- Follow the project's CLAUDE.md and .cursor/rules/* guidelines at all times
+- Unlike the usual Taskmaster process, do not bother using update-task nor update-subtask as they do not work with Hamster tasks yet.
+
+- Use only `tm list`, `tm show <sub/task id>` and `tm set status` - other commands don't yet work with it.
+- Do not use the MCP tools when connected with Hamster briefs - that is not yet up to date.
+- Use `.cursor/rules/git_workflow.mdc` as a guide for the workflow
+- When starting a task, mark it as in-progress. You can mark multiple task statuses at once with comma separation (i.e. `tm set-status -i 1,1.1 -s in-progress`)
+- Read the task, then if it has subtasks, begin implementing the subtasks one at a time.
+- When the subtask is done, run lint and typecheck, mark the task as done if it passes, and commit.
+- Continue until all subtasks are done, then run a final lint and typecheck (`npm lint` and `npm typecheck`) and create a PR using `gh` cli for that Task.
+- Keep committing to the same PR as long as the scope is maintained. An entire task list (brief) might fit into a single PR but not if it ends up being huge. It is preferred for everything to land in one PR if it is possible, otherwise commit to different PRs that build on top of the previous ones. Confirm with the human when doing this.
+- When the parent task is completed, ensure you mark is as done.
+- When the first task is done, repeat this process for all tasks until all tasks are done.
+- If you run into an issue where the JWT seems expired or commands don't work, ensure you use `tm auth refresh` to refresh the token and if that does not work, use `tm context <brief url>` to reconnect the context. If you do not have the brief url, ask the user for it (perhaps use it at the beginning)
+
+You're a fast hamster. Go go go.

+Fix PR review comments: PR # $ARGUMENTS
+
+This command collects all review comments from a GitHub PR (including CodeRabbit, human reviewers, and other bots), consolidates them by author and severity, shows them to you for approval, then implements the approved fixes.
+
+Steps:
+
+1. **Collect PR comments**
+   - Run: `gh pr view $ARGUMENTS --comments` to get ALL comments (no truncation)
+   - Parse and extract all review comments from:
+     - PR review comments (file-level)
+     - General comments
+     - Review threads
+   - Include author information for each comment
+   - IMPORTANT: Do NOT use `head`, `tail`, or any truncation - we need complete comment history
+
+2. **Consolidate comments**
+   - Group comments by:
+     - Author (CodeRabbit, human reviewers, other bots)
+     - Severity (🚨 Critical, ⚠️ Important, 💡 Suggestion, ℹ️ Info)
+     - Category (Security, Performance, Best Practices, Style, etc.)
+   - Remove duplicates and group similar issues
+   - Present in a clear, numbered list format showing author for each
+
+3. **Show consolidated issues for approval**
+   - Display the organized list with:
+     - Issue number for reference
+     - Severity indicator
+     - File location
+     - Description
+     - Suggested fix
+   - Ask: "Which issues would you like me to fix? (Enter numbers separated by commas, or 'all' for everything)"
+   - Wait for user confirmation
+
+4. **Implement approved fixes**
+   - For each approved issue:
+     - Read the relevant file(s)
+     - Implement the suggested fix
+     - Log what was changed
+
+5. **Validate changes**
+   - Run: `pnpm typecheck`
+   - If fails: review errors, fix them, retry
+   - Run: `pnpm lint`
+   - If fails: review errors, fix them, retry
+   - Continue until both pass
+
+6. **Commit and push**
+   - Stage changes: `git add .`
+   - Create commit: `git commit -m "fix: address review comments from PR #$ARGUMENTS"`
+   - Push: `git push`
+   - Confirm completion with summary of fixes applied
+
+Notes:
+- If no review comments found, inform user and exit
+- If typecheck/lint fails after fixes, show errors and ask for guidance
+- Keep fixes focused on reviewers' specific suggestions
+- Preserve existing code style and patterns
+- Group related fixes in the commit message if many changes
+- Treat all reviewers equally - human and bot feedback both matter

+# Hamster Integration Workflow
+
+This guide outlines the process for working with tasks imported from Hamster briefs using Task Master. When connected to a Hamster brief, follow these specific guidelines to ensure proper task management and workflow execution.
+
+## Command Restrictions
+
+### Supported Commands
+Use only these Task Master CLI commands when working with Hamster briefs:
+```bash
+tm list                      # List all tasks
+tm show <sub/task id> --json # Show task details (--json saves tokens)
+tm set-status                # Update task status
+tm auth refresh              # Refresh authentication token
+tm context <brief url>       # Reconnect to Hamster brief context
+```
+
+### Unsupported Commands
+- Do not use MCP tools when connected with Hamster briefs - they are not yet up to date with Hamster integration
+- Do not use other Task Master CLI commands that haven't been verified to work with Hamster integration
+
+## Task Workflow Process
+
+### Starting a Task
+```bash
+# Mark task and subtasks as in-progress when starting
+tm set-status -i 1,1.1 -s in-progress
+
+# Multiple tasks/subtasks can be marked at once using comma separation
+tm set-status -i 1,1.1,1.2,2 -s in-progress
+```
+
+### Task Implementation Flow
+1. **Read the Task**: Use `tm show <id> --json` to understand the task requirements
+2. **Check for Subtasks**: If the task has subtasks, implement them one at a time
+3. **Implement Subtask**: Complete the subtask implementation
+4. **Verify Quality**: Run lint and typecheck before marking as done
+   ```bash
+   npm run lint
+   npm run typecheck
+   ```
+5. **Mark Complete**: If verification passes, mark the subtask as done
+   ```bash
+   tm set-status -i 1.1 -s done
+   ```
+6. **Commit Changes**: Commit the completed subtask work
+7. **Repeat**: Continue until all subtasks are complete
+
+### Parent Task Completion
+- After all subtasks are done, run final verification:
+  ```bash
+  npm run lint
+  npm run typecheck
+  ```
+- Mark the parent task as done:
+  ```bash
+  tm set-status -i 1 -s done
+  ```
+- Move to the next task and repeat the process
+
+## Multiple Task Context
+
+### Viewing Multiple Tasks
+```bash
+# Use comma-separated IDs to get context from multiple tasks
+tm show 1,1.1,2,2.1 --json
+
+# This is more efficient than calling tm show multiple times
+```
+
+### Parallel Subtask Execution
+- **When to Parallelize**: If a task has subtasks that can be completed in parallel
+- **Requirements**:
+  - Ensure work/files to adjust are **not the same** across subtasks
+  - Spawn sub-agents for each parallel subtask
+  - Verify clear separation of work before parallelizing
+- **Example**: If subtask 1.1 modifies `src/api.js` and subtask 1.2 modifies `src/utils.js`, these can run in parallel
+
+## Pull Request Management
+
+### PR Creation Strategy
+- **Preferred Approach**: Keep everything in one PR if scope remains manageable
+- **When to Split**: Create separate PRs if the work becomes too large
+- **Multi-PR Strategy**: If splitting is necessary:
+  - Create PRs that build on top of previous ones
+  - **Always confirm with the human** before creating multiple PRs
+- **PR Creation**: Use GitHub CLI after completing a task:
+  ```bash
+  gh pr create --title "Task X: [Task Title]" --body "Description"
+  ```
+
+### Committing to PRs
+- Keep committing to the same PR as long as the scope is maintained
+- An entire task list (brief) might fit into a single PR
+- If scope grows too large, discuss with human before creating new PRs
+
+## Authentication & Context Management
+
+### Token Refresh
+```bash
+# Refresh token if JWT seems expired or commands don't work
+tm auth refresh
+
+# If refresh doesn't work, reconnect context
+tm context <brief url>
+```
+
+### Context Reconnection
+- **When Needed**: If commands stop working or authentication fails
+- **Required Information**: Brief URL (ask user if not available)
+- **Best Practice**: Store brief URL at the beginning of the session
+- **Command**: `tm context <brief url>`
+
+## Integration with Git Workflow
+
+When working with Hamster briefs, follow standard Git workflow patterns:
+- Create task-specific branches: `task-XXX`
+- Commit subtask work incrementally
+- Create PRs after task completion
+- Follow commit message standards
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **Incremental Progress**: Work through subtasks one at a time
+- **Quality Gates**: Always run lint and typecheck before marking tasks as done
+- **Clear Communication**: Confirm with human before splitting work across multiple PRs
+- **Efficient Context Gathering**: Use comma-separated IDs when viewing multiple tasks
+- **Authentication Management**: Proactively refresh tokens and reconnect context when needed

+# Start Working with Hamster Brief
+
+End-to-end workflow for working on tasks from a connected Hamster brief. All tasks from the brief are worked on in a single branch, with one PR created at the end.
+
+## Step 1: Verify Connection & Authentication
+
+```bash
+# Check current context and authentication status
+tm context
+```
+
+If not connected or authentication fails:
+- Get brief URL from user if not available
+- Connect: `tm context <brief url>`
+- Refresh token if needed: `tm auth refresh`
+
+## Step 2: List Available Tasks
+
+```bash
+# View all tasks from the brief
+tm list
+```
+
+Review the task list to understand what needs to be done. Note the total number of tasks.
+
+## Step 3: Initialize Git Branch for Brief
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're on dev branch and pull latest
+git checkout dev
+git pull origin dev
+
+# Create a single branch for the entire brief (e.g., hamster-brief-YYYY-MM-DD or brief-specific name)
+git checkout -b hamster-brief
+
+# Verify branch creation
+git branch
+```
+
+**Note**: This branch will be used for ALL tasks in the brief. Do not create separate branches per task.
+
+## Step 4: Task Loop (Repeat for Each Task)
+
+Work through all tasks sequentially in the same branch:
+
+### 4.1: Read Task Details
+
+```bash
+# Get detailed information about the task
+tm show 1
+
+# If task has subtasks, examine them all
+tm show 1,1.1,1.2,1.3  # Adjust IDs as needed
+```
+
+### 4.2: Log Initial Context
+
+```bash
+# Document task understanding and initial findings
+tm update-task -i 1 --append --prompt="Starting task implementation.
+
+Initial context:
+- Task requirements: [summarize key requirements]
+- Dependencies identified: [list any dependencies]
+- Files that may need modification: [list relevant files]
+- Approach planned: [brief implementation approach]"
+```
+
+### 4.3: Mark Task as In-Progress
+
+```bash
+# Mark task and first subtask (if exists) as in-progress
+tm set-status -i 1,1.1 -s in-progress
+```
+
+### 4.4: Subtask Implementation Loop
+
+For each subtask (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.):
+
+#### 4.4.1: Read Subtask Details
+```bash
+tm show 1.1  # Replace with current subtask ID
+```
+
+#### 4.4.2: Log Research & Context Gathering
+```bash
+# Document findings during implementation
+tm update-task -i 1 --append --prompt="Subtask 1.1 - Context gathered:
+
+- Code exploration findings: [what you discovered]
+- Implementation approach: [how you plan to implement]
+- Key decisions made: [important choices]
+- Challenges encountered: [any blockers or issues]"
+```
+
+#### 4.4.3: Implement Subtask
+- Write code following the subtask requirements
+- Make necessary changes to files
+
+#### 4.4.4: Quality Verification
+```bash
+# Run linting
+pnpm lint
+
+# Run type checking
+pnpm typecheck
+
+# If either fails, fix issues and re-run until both pass
+```
+
+#### 4.4.5: CodeRabbit Review
+```bash
+# Generate code review (wait for plain text results)
+coderabbit --prompt-only
+
+# Review the output and address any critical issues if needed
+```
+
+#### 4.4.6: Log Implementation Completion
+```bash
+# Document what was completed
+tm update-task -i 1 --append --prompt="Subtask 1.1 - Implementation complete:
+
+- Files modified: [list files changed]
+- Key changes: [summary of implementation]
+- CodeRabbit feedback addressed: [if any issues were fixed]
+- Ready for commit"
+```
+
+#### 4.4.7: Commit Subtask Work
+```bash
+# Stage changes
+git add .
+
+# Commit with detailed message following git_workflow.mdc format
+git commit -m "feat(task-1): Complete subtask 1.1 - [Subtask Title]
+
+- Implementation details
+- Key changes made
+- Files modified: [list files]
+- CodeRabbit review completed
+
+Subtask 1.1: [Brief description of what was accomplished]
+Relates to Task 1: [Main task title]"
+```
+
+#### 4.4.8: Mark Subtask as Done
+```bash
+tm set-status -i 1.1 -s done
+```
+
+#### 4.4.9: Move to Next Subtask
+Repeat steps 4.4.1 through 4.4.8 for the next subtask (1.2, 1.3, etc.)
+
+### 4.5: Complete Parent Task
+
+After all subtasks are complete:
+
+#### 4.5.1: Final Quality Checks
+```bash
+# Final linting
+pnpm lint
+
+# Final type checking
+pnpm typecheck
+
+# Final CodeRabbit review
+coderabbit --prompt-only
+
+# Address any remaining issues if critical
+```
+
+#### 4.5.2: Log Task Completion
+```bash
+# Document final task completion
+tm update-task -i 1 --append --prompt="Task 1 - Complete:
+
+- All subtasks completed: [list all subtasks]
+- Final verification passed: lint, typecheck, CodeRabbit review
+- Files changed: [comprehensive list]
+- Committed to brief branch"
+```
+
+#### 4.5.3: Mark Parent Task as Done
+```bash
+tm set-status -i 1 -s done
+```
+
+**Note**: Do NOT push or create PR yet. Continue to next task in the same branch.
+
+### 4.6: Move to Next Task
+
+```bash
+# Verify remaining tasks
+tm list
+
+# Continue with next task (e.g., Task 2)
+# Repeat steps 4.1 through 4.5 for Task 2, then Task 3, etc.
+```
+
+## Step 5: Complete All Tasks
+
+Continue working through all tasks (Steps 4.1-4.6) until all tasks in the brief are complete. All work is committed to the same `hamster-brief` branch.
+
+## Step 6: Final Verification & PR Creation
+
+After ALL tasks are complete:
+
+### 6.1: Verify All Tasks Complete
+```bash
+# Verify all tasks are done
+tm list
+
+# Should show all tasks with status 'done'
+```
+
+### 6.2: Final Quality Checks
+```bash
+# Final comprehensive checks
+pnpm lint
+pnpm typecheck
+coderabbit --prompt-only
+
+# Address any remaining issues if critical
+```
+
+### 6.3: Push Branch
+```bash
+# Push the brief branch to remote
+git push origin hamster-brief
+```
+
+### 6.4: Create Pull Request to Dev
+```bash
+# Get all task titles (adjust task IDs as needed)
+# Create comprehensive PR description
+
+gh pr create \
+  --base dev \
+  --title "Hamster Brief: Complete Implementation" \
+  --body "## Brief Overview
+Completed all tasks from Hamster brief.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+- [x] Task 1: [Task 1 title]
+  - Subtasks: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3
+- [x] Task 2: [Task 2 title]
+  - Subtasks: 2.1, 2.2
+- [x] Task 3: [Task 3 title]
+  - [Continue listing all tasks]
+
+## Implementation Summary
+- Total tasks: [number]
+- Total subtasks: [number]
+- Files modified: [comprehensive list]
+- All quality checks passed
+
+## Quality Checks
+- ✅ Linting passed (pnpm lint)
+- ✅ Type checking passed (pnpm typecheck)
+- ✅ CodeRabbit review completed for all changes
+
+## Testing
+- [ ] Manual testing completed
+- [ ] All checks passing
+
+Complete implementation of Hamster brief tasks"
+```
+
+## Step 7: Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# After PR is merged, switch back to dev
+git checkout dev
+git pull origin dev
+
+# Delete local branch (optional)
+git branch -d hamster-brief
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Use ONLY**: `tm list`, `tm show <id>`, `tm set-status`, `tm update-task`, `tm auth refresh`, `tm context <brief url>`
+- **DON'T use MCP tools** - not compatible with Hamster integration
+- **Single branch per brief**: All tasks work in the same branch (`hamster-brief`)
+- **Single PR per brief**: One PR created after all tasks are complete
+- **Always target dev branch** - never main branch
+- **Regular logging**: Use `tm update-task -i <id> --append` frequently to document:
+  - Context gathered during exploration
+  - Implementation decisions made
+  - Challenges encountered
+  - Completion status
+- **Quality gates**: Never skip lint, typecheck, or CodeRabbit review
+- **Commit format**: Follow git_workflow.mdc commit message standards
+- **PR format**: Always use `--base dev` when creating PRs
+
+## Workflow Summary
+
+```
+1. Verify connection → tm context
+2. List tasks → tm list
+3. Create single branch → git checkout -b hamster-brief
+4. For each task (in same branch):
+   a. Read task → tm show X
+   b. Log context → tm update-task -i X --append
+   c. Mark in-progress → tm set-status -i X,X.Y -s in-progress
+   d. For each subtask:
+      - Read → tm show X.Y

+
+# Hamster Integration Workflow
+
+This guide outlines the process for working with tasks imported from Hamster briefs using Task Master. When connected to a Hamster brief, follow these specific guidelines to ensure proper task management and workflow execution.
+
+## **Command Restrictions**
+
+### **Supported Commands**
+- **✅ DO**: Use only these Task Master CLI commands when working with Hamster briefs:
+  ```bash
+  tm list                      # List all tasks
+  tm show <sub/task id> --json # Show task details
+  tm set-status                # Update task status
+  tm auth refresh              # Refresh authentication token
+  tm context <brief url>       # Reconnect to Hamster brief context
+  ```
+
+### **Unsupported Commands**
+- **❌ DON'T**: Use MCP tools when connected with Hamster briefs - they are not yet up to date with Hamster integration
+- **❌ DON'T**: Use other Task Master CLI commands that haven't been verified to work with Hamster integration
+
+## **Task Workflow Process**
+
+### **Starting a Task**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Mark task and subtasks as in-progress when starting
+tm set-status -i 1,1.1 -s in-progress
+
+# Multiple tasks/subtasks can be marked at once using comma separation
+tm set-status -i 1,1.1,1.2,2 -s in-progress
+```
+
+### **Task Implementation Flow**
+1. **Read the Task**: Use `tm show <id> --json` to understand the task requirements (json used to save tokens, gets you same information)
+2. **Check for Subtasks**: If the task has subtasks, implement them one at a time
+3. **Implement Subtask**: Complete the subtask implementation
+4. **Verify Quality**: Run lint and typecheck before marking as done
+   ```bash
+   npm lint
+   npm typecheck
+   ```
+5. **Mark Complete**: If verification passes, mark the subtask as done
+   ```bash
+   tm set-status -i 1.1 -s done
+   ```
+6. **Commit Changes**: Commit the completed subtask work
+7. **Repeat**: Continue until all subtasks are complete
+
+### **Parent Task Completion**
+- After all subtasks are done, run final verification:
+  ```bash
+  npm lint
+  npm typecheck
+  ```
+- Mark the parent task as done:
+  ```bash
+  tm set-status -i 1 -s done
+  ```
+- Move to the next task and repeat the process
+
+## **Multiple Task Context**
+
+### **Viewing Multiple Tasks**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Use comma-separated IDs to get context from multiple tasks
+tm show 1,1.1,2,2.1 --json
+
+# This is more efficient than calling tm show multiple times
+```
+
+### **Parallel Subtask Execution**
+- **When to Parallelize**: If a task has subtasks that can be completed in parallel
+- **Requirements**:
+  - Ensure work/files to adjust are **not the same** across subtasks
+  - Spawn sub-agents for each parallel subtask
+  - Verify clear separation of work before parallelizing
+- **Example**: If subtask 1.1 modifies `src/api.js` and subtask 1.2 modifies `src/utils.js`, these can run in parallel
+
+## **Pull Request Management**
+
+### **PR Creation Strategy**
+- **Preferred Approach**: Keep everything in one PR if scope remains manageable
+- **When to Split**: Create separate PRs if the work becomes too large
+- **Multi-PR Strategy**: If splitting is necessary:
+  - Create PRs that build on top of previous ones
+  - **Always confirm with the human** before creating multiple PRs
+- **PR Creation**: Use GitHub CLI after completing a task:
+  ```bash
+  gh pr create --title "Task X: [Task Title]" --body "Description"
+  ```
+
+### **Committing to PRs**
+- Keep committing to the same PR as long as the scope is maintained
+- An entire task list (brief) might fit into a single PR
+- If scope grows too large, discuss with human before creating new PRs
+
+## **Authentication & Context Management**
+
+### **Token Refresh**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Refresh token if JWT seems expired or commands don't work
+tm auth refresh
+
+# If refresh doesn't work, reconnect context
+tm context <brief url>
+```
+
+### **Context Reconnection**
+- **When Needed**: If commands stop working or authentication fails
+- **Required Information**: Brief URL (ask user if not available)
+- **Best Practice**: Store brief URL at the beginning of the session
+- **Command**: `tm context <brief url>`
+
+## **Integration with Git Workflow**
+
+When working with Hamster briefs, follow the standard Git workflow patterns outlined in [git_workflow.mdc](mdc:.cursor/rules/git_workflow.mdc):
+
+- Create task-specific branches: `task-XXX`
+- Commit subtask work incrementally
+- Create PRs after task completion
+- Follow commit message standards
+

+
+# Taskmaster Development Workflow
+
+This guide outlines the standard process for using Taskmaster to manage software development projects. It is written as a set of instructions for you, the AI agent.
+
+- **Your Default Stance**: For most projects, the user can work directly within the `master` task context. Your initial actions should operate on this default context unless a clear pattern for multi-context work emerges.
+- **Your Goal**: Your role is to elevate the user's workflow by intelligently introducing advanced features like **Tagged Task Lists** when you detect the appropriate context. Do not force tags on the user; suggest them as a helpful solution to a specific need.
+
+## The Basic Loop
+The fundamental development cycle you will facilitate is:
+1.  **`list`**: Show the user what needs to be done.
+2.  **`next`**: Help the user decide what to work on.
+3.  **`show <id>`**: Provide details for a specific task.
+4.  **`expand <id>`**: Break down a complex task into smaller, manageable subtasks.
+5.  **Implement**: The user writes the code and tests.
+6.  **`update-subtask`**: Log progress and findings on behalf of the user.
+7.  **`set-status`**: Mark tasks and subtasks as `done` as work is completed.
+8.  **Repeat**.
+
+All your standard command executions should operate on the user's current task context, which defaults to `master`.
+
+---
+
+## Standard Development Workflow Process
+
+### Simple Workflow (Default Starting Point)
+
+For new projects or when users are getting started, operate within the `master` tag context:
+
+-   Start new projects by running `initialize_project` tool / `task-master init` or `parse_prd` / `task-master parse-prd --input='<prd-file.txt>'` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) to generate initial tasks.json with tagged structure
+-   Configure rule sets during initialization with `--rules` flag (e.g., `task-master init --rules cursor,windsurf`) or manage them later with `task-master rules add/remove` commands  
+-   Begin coding sessions with `get_tasks` / `task-master list` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) to see current tasks, status, and IDs
+-   Determine the next task to work on using `next_task` / `task-master next` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`)
+-   Analyze task complexity with `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) before breaking down tasks
+-   Review complexity report using `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`)
+-   Select tasks based on dependencies (all marked 'done'), priority level, and ID order
+-   View specific task details using `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) to understand implementation requirements
+-   Break down complex tasks using `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id> --force --research` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) with appropriate flags like `--force` (to replace existing subtasks) and `--research`
+-   Implement code following task details, dependencies, and project standards
+-   Mark completed tasks with `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`)
+-   Update dependent tasks when implementation differs from original plan using `update` / `task-master update --from=<id> --prompt="..."` or `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="..."` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`)
+
+---
+
+## Leveling Up: Agent-Led Multi-Context Workflows
+
+While the basic workflow is powerful, your primary opportunity to add value is by identifying when to introduce **Tagged Task Lists**. These patterns are your tools for creating a more organized and efficient development environment for the user, especially if you detect agentic or parallel development happening across the same session.
+
+**Critical Principle**: Most users should never see a difference in their experience. Only introduce advanced workflows when you detect clear indicators that the project has evolved beyond simple task management.
+
+### When to Introduce Tags: Your Decision Patterns
+
+Here are the patterns to look for. When you detect one, you should propose the corresponding workflow to the user.
+
+#### Pattern 1: Simple Git Feature Branching
+This is the most common and direct use case for tags.
+
+- **Trigger**: The user creates a new git branch (e.g., `git checkout -b feature/user-auth`).
+- **Your Action**: Propose creating a new tag that mirrors the branch name to isolate the feature's tasks from `master`.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"I see you've created a new branch named 'feature/user-auth'. To keep all related tasks neatly organized and separate from your main list, I can create a corresponding task tag for you. This helps prevent merge conflicts in your `tasks.json` file later. Shall I create the 'feature-user-auth' tag?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag --from-branch`
+
+#### Pattern 2: Team Collaboration
+- **Trigger**: The user mentions working with teammates (e.g., "My teammate Alice is handling the database schema," or "I need to review Bob's work on the API.").
+- **Your Action**: Suggest creating a separate tag for the user's work to prevent conflicts with shared master context.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"Since you're working with Alice, I can create a separate task context for your work to avoid conflicts. This way, Alice can continue working with the master list while you have your own isolated context. When you're ready to merge your work, we can coordinate the tasks back to master. Shall I create a tag for your current work?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag my-work --copy-from-current --description="My tasks while collaborating with Alice"`
+
+#### Pattern 3: Experiments or Risky Refactors
+- **Trigger**: The user wants to try something that might not be kept (e.g., "I want to experiment with switching our state management library," or "Let's refactor the old API module, but I want to keep the current tasks as a reference.").
+- **Your Action**: Propose creating a sandboxed tag for the experimental work.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a great experiment. To keep these new tasks separate from our main plan, I can create a temporary 'experiment-zustand' tag for this work. If we decide not to proceed, we can simply delete the tag without affecting the main task list. Sound good?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag experiment-zustand --description="Exploring Zustand migration"`
+
+#### Pattern 4: Large Feature Initiatives (PRD-Driven)
+This is a more structured approach for significant new features or epics.
+
+- **Trigger**: The user describes a large, multi-step feature that would benefit from a formal plan.
+- **Your Action**: Propose a comprehensive, PRD-driven workflow.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a significant new feature. To manage this effectively, I suggest we create a dedicated task context for it. Here's the plan: I'll create a new tag called 'feature-xyz', then we can draft a Product Requirements Document (PRD) together to scope the work. Once the PRD is ready, I'll automatically generate all the necessary tasks within that new tag. How does that sound?"*
+- **Your Implementation Flow**:
+    1.  **Create an empty tag**: `task-master add-tag feature-xyz --description "Tasks for the new XYZ feature"`. You can also start by creating a git branch if applicable, and then create the tag from that branch.
+    2.  **Collaborate & Create PRD**: Work with the user to create a detailed PRD file (e.g., `.taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt`).
+    3.  **Parse PRD into the new tag**: `task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt --tag feature-xyz`
+    4.  **Prepare the new task list**: Follow up by suggesting `analyze-complexity` and `expand-all` for the newly created tasks within the `feature-xyz` tag.
+
+#### Pattern 5: Version-Based Development
+Tailor your approach based on the project maturity indicated by tag names.
+
+- **Prototype/MVP Tags** (`prototype`, `mvp`, `poc`, `v0.x`):
+  - **Your Approach**: Focus on speed and functionality over perfection
+  - **Task Generation**: Create tasks that emphasize "get it working" over "get it perfect"
+  - **Complexity Level**: Lower complexity, fewer subtasks, more direct implementation paths
+  - **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is a prototype - prioritize speed and basic functionality over optimization"
+  - **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for the MVP, I'll focus on tasks that get core functionality working quickly rather than over-engineering."*
+
+- **Production/Mature Tags** (`v1.0+`, `production`, `stable`):
+  - **Your Approach**: Emphasize robustness, testing, and maintainability
+  - **Task Generation**: Include comprehensive error handling, testing, documentation, and optimization
+  - **Complexity Level**: Higher complexity, more detailed subtasks, thorough implementation paths
+  - **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is for production - prioritize reliability, performance, and maintainability"
+  - **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for production, I'll ensure tasks include proper error handling, testing, and documentation."*
+
+### Advanced Workflow (Tag-Based & PRD-Driven)
+
+**When to Transition**: Recognize when the project has evolved (or has initiated a project which existing code) beyond simple task management. Look for these indicators:
+- User mentions teammates or collaboration needs
+- Project has grown to 15+ tasks with mixed priorities
+- User creates feature branches or mentions major initiatives
+- User initializes Taskmaster on an existing, complex codebase
+- User describes large features that would benefit from dedicated planning
+
+**Your Role in Transition**: Guide the user to a more sophisticated workflow that leverages tags for organization and PRDs for comprehensive planning.
+
+#### Master List Strategy (High-Value Focus)
+Once you transition to tag-based workflows, the `master` tag should ideally contain only:
+- **High-level deliverables** that provide significant business value
+- **Major milestones** and epic-level features
+- **Critical infrastructure** work that affects the entire project
+- **Release-blocking** items
+
+**What NOT to put in master**:
+- Detailed implementation subtasks (these go in feature-specific tags' parent tasks)
+- Refactoring work (create dedicated tags like `refactor-auth`)
+- Experimental features (use `experiment-*` tags)
+- Team member-specific tasks (use person-specific tags)
+
+#### PRD-Driven Feature Development
+
+**For New Major Features**:
+1. **Identify the Initiative**: When user describes a significant feature
+2. **Create Dedicated Tag**: `add_tag feature-[name] --description="[Feature description]"`
+3. **Collaborative PRD Creation**: Work with user to create comprehensive PRD in `.taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt`
+4. **Parse & Prepare**: 
+   - `parse_prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt --tag=feature-[name]`
+   - `analyze_project_complexity --tag=feature-[name] --research`
+   - `expand_all --tag=feature-[name] --research`
+5. **Add Master Reference**: Create a high-level task in `master` that references the feature tag
+
+**For Existing Codebase Analysis**:
+When users initialize Taskmaster on existing projects:
+1. **Codebase Discovery**: Use your native tools for producing deep context about the code base. You may use `research` tool with `--tree` and `--files` to collect up to date information using the existing architecture as context.
+2. **Collaborative Assessment**: Work with user to identify improvement areas, technical debt, or new features
+3. **Strategic PRD Creation**: Co-author PRDs that include:
+   - Current state analysis (based on your codebase research)
+   - Proposed improvements or new features
+   - Implementation strategy considering existing code
+4. **Tag-Based Organization**: Parse PRDs into appropriate tags (`refactor-api`, `feature-dashboard`, `tech-debt`, etc.)
+5. **Master List Curation**: Keep only the most valuable initiatives in master
+
+The parse-prd's `--append` flag enables the user to parse multiple PRDs within tags or across tags. PRDs should be focused and the number of tasks they are parsed into should be strategically chosen relative to the PRD's complexity and level of detail.
+
+### Workflow Transition Examples
+
+**Example 1: Simple → Team-Based**
+```
+User: "Alice is going to help with the API work"
+Your Response: "Great! To avoid conflicts, I'll create a separate task context for your work. Alice can continue with the master list while you work in your own context. When you're ready to merge, we can coordinate the tasks back together."
+Action: add_tag my-api-work --copy-from-current --description="My API tasks while collaborating with Alice"
+```
+
+**Example 2: Simple → PRD-Driven**
+```
+User: "I want to add a complete user dashboard with analytics, user management, and reporting"
+Your Response: "This sounds like a major feature that would benefit from detailed planning. Let me create a dedicated context for this work and we can draft a PRD together to ensure we capture all requirements."
+Actions: 
+1. add_tag feature-dashboard --description="User dashboard with analytics and management"
+2. Collaborate on PRD creation
+3. parse_prd dashboard-prd.txt --tag=feature-dashboard
+4. Add high-level "User Dashboard" task to master
+```
+
+**Example 3: Existing Project → Strategic Planning**
+```
+User: "I just initialized Taskmaster on my existing React app. It's getting messy and I want to improve it."
+Your Response: "Let me research your codebase to understand the current architecture, then we can create a strategic plan for improvements."
+Actions:
+1. research "Current React app architecture and improvement opportunities" --tree --files=src/
+2. Collaborate on improvement PRD based on findings
+3. Create tags for different improvement areas (refactor-components, improve-state-management, etc.)
+4. Keep only major improvement initiatives in master
+```
+

+
+## Primary Interaction: MCP Server vs. CLI
+
+Taskmaster offers two primary ways to interact:
+
+1.  **MCP Server (Recommended for Integrated Tools)**:
+    - For AI agents and integrated development environments (like Cursor), interacting via the **MCP server is the preferred method**.
+    - The MCP server exposes Taskmaster functionality through a set of tools (e.g., `get_tasks`, `add_subtask`).
+    - This method offers better performance, structured data exchange, and richer error handling compared to CLI parsing.
+    - Refer to @`mcp.mdc` for details on the MCP architecture and available tools.
+    - A comprehensive list and description of MCP tools and their corresponding CLI commands can be found in @`taskmaster.mdc`.
+    - **Restart the MCP server** if core logic in `scripts/modules` or MCP tool/direct function definitions change.
+    - **Note**: MCP tools fully support tagged task lists with complete tag management capabilities.
+
+2.  **`task-master` CLI (For Users & Fallback)**:
+    - The global `task-master` command provides a user-friendly interface for direct terminal interaction.
+    - It can also serve as a fallback if the MCP server is inaccessible or a specific function isn't exposed via MCP.
+    - Install globally with `npm install -g task-master-ai` or use locally via `npx task-master-ai ...`.
+    - The CLI commands often mirror the MCP tools (e.g., `task-master list` corresponds to `get_tasks`).
+    - Refer to @`taskmaster.mdc` for a detailed command reference.
+    - **Tagged Task Lists**: CLI fully supports the new tagged system with seamless migration.
+
+## How the Tag System Works (For Your Reference)
+
+- **Data Structure**: Tasks are organized into separate contexts (tags) like "master", "feature-branch", or "v2.0".
+- **Silent Migration**: Existing projects automatically migrate to use a "master" tag with zero disruption.
+- **Context Isolation**: Tasks in different tags are completely separate. Changes in one tag do not affect any other tag.
+- **Manual Control**: The user is always in control. There is no automatic switching. You facilitate switching by using `use-tag <name>`.
+- **Full CLI & MCP Support**: All tag management commands are available through both the CLI and MCP tools for you to use. Refer to @`taskmaster.mdc` for a full command list.
+
+---
+
+## Task Complexity Analysis
+
+-   Run `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) for comprehensive analysis
+-   Review complexity report via `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) for a formatted, readable version.
+-   Focus on tasks with highest complexity scores (8-10) for detailed breakdown
+-   Use analysis results to determine appropriate subtask allocation
+-   Note that reports are automatically used by the `expand_task` tool/command
+
+## Task Breakdown Process
+
+-   Use `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id>`. It automatically uses the complexity report if found, otherwise generates default number of subtasks.
+-   Use `--num=<number>` to specify an explicit number of subtasks, overriding defaults or complexity report recommendations.
+-   Add `--research` flag to leverage Perplexity AI for research-backed expansion.
+-   Add `--force` flag to clear existing subtasks before generating new ones (default is to append).
+-   Use `--prompt="<context>"` to provide additional context when needed.
+-   Review and adjust generated subtasks as necessary.
+-   Use `expand_all` tool or `task-master expand --all` to expand multiple pending tasks at once, respecting flags like `--force` and `--research`.
+-   If subtasks need complete replacement (regardless of the `--force` flag on `expand`), clear them first with `clear_subtasks` / `task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>`.
+
+## Implementation Drift Handling
+
+-   When implementation differs significantly from planned approach
+-   When future tasks need modification due to current implementation choices
+-   When new dependencies or requirements emerge
+-   Use `update` / `task-master update --from=<futureTaskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update multiple future tasks.
+-   Use `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<taskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update a single specific task.
+
+## Task Status Management
+
+-   Use 'pending' for tasks ready to be worked on
+-   Use 'done' for completed and verified tasks
+-   Use 'deferred' for postponed tasks
+-   Add custom status values as needed for project-specific workflows
+
+## Task Structure Fields
+
+- **id**: Unique identifier for the task (Example: `1`, `1.1`)
+- **title**: Brief, descriptive title (Example: `"Initialize Repo"`)
+- **description**: Concise summary of what the task involves (Example: `"Create a new repository, set up initial structure."`)
+- **status**: Current state of the task (Example: `"pending"`, `"done"`, `"deferred"`)
+- **dependencies**: IDs of prerequisite tasks (Example: `[1, 2.1]`)
+    - Dependencies are displayed with status indicators (✅ for completed, ⏱️ for pending)
+    - This helps quickly identify which prerequisite tasks are blocking work
+- **priority**: Importance level (Example: `"high"`, `"medium"`, `"low"`)
+- **details**: In-depth implementation instructions (Example: `"Use GitHub client ID/secret, handle callback, set session token."`) 
+- **testStrategy**: Verification approach (Example: `"Deploy and call endpoint to confirm 'Hello World' response."`) 
+- **subtasks**: List of smaller, more specific tasks (Example: `[{"id": 1, "title": "Configure OAuth", ...}]`) 
+- Refer to task structure details (previously linked to `tasks.mdc`).
+
+## Configuration Management (Updated)
+
+Taskmaster configuration is managed through two main mechanisms:
+
+1.  **`.taskmaster/config.json` File (Primary):**
+    *   Located in the project root directory.
+    *   Stores most configuration settings: AI model selections (main, research, fallback), parameters (max tokens, temperature), logging level, default subtasks/priority, project name, etc.
+    *   **Tagged System Settings**: Includes `global.defaultTag` (defaults to "master") and `tags` section for tag management configuration.
+    *   **Managed via `task-master models --setup` command.** Do not edit manually unless you know what you are doing.
+    *   **View/Set specific models via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.**
+    *   Created automatically when you run `task-master models --setup` for the first time or during tagged system migration.
+
+2.  **Environment Variables (`.env` / `mcp.json`):**
+    *   Used **only** for sensitive API keys and specific endpoint URLs.
+    *   Place API keys (one per provider) in a `.env` file in the project root for CLI usage.
+    *   For MCP/Cursor integration, configure these keys in the `env` section of `.cursor/mcp.json`.
+    *   Available keys/variables: See `assets/env.example` or the Configuration section in the command reference (previously linked to `taskmaster.mdc`).
+
+3.  **`.taskmaster/state.json` File (Tagged System State):**
+    *   Tracks current tag context and migration status.
+    *   Automatically created during tagged system migration.
+    *   Contains: `currentTag`, `lastSwitched`, `migrationNoticeShown`.
+
+**Important:** Non-API key settings (like model selections, `MAX_TOKENS`, `TASKMASTER_LOG_LEVEL`) are **no longer configured via environment variables**. Use the `task-master models` command (or `--setup` for interactive configuration) or the `models` MCP tool.
+**If AI commands FAIL in MCP** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `env` section of `.cursor/mcp.json`.
+**If AI commands FAIL in CLI** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `.env` file in the root of the project.
+
+## Rules Management
+
+Taskmaster supports multiple AI coding assistant rule sets that can be configured during project initialization or managed afterward:
+
+- **Available Profiles**: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Cursor, Roo Code, Trae, Windsurf (claude, cline, codex, cursor, roo, trae, windsurf)
+- **During Initialization**: Use `task-master init --rules cursor,windsurf` to specify which rule sets to include
+- **After Initialization**: Use `task-master rules add <profiles>` or `task-master rules remove <profiles>` to manage rule sets
+- **Interactive Setup**: Use `task-master rules setup` to launch an interactive prompt for selecting rule profiles
+- **Default Behavior**: If no `--rules` flag is specified during initialization, all available rule profiles are included
+- **Rule Structure**: Each profile creates its own directory (e.g., `.cursor/rules`, `.roo/rules`) with appropriate configuration files
+
+## Determining the Next Task
+
+- Run `next_task` / `task-master next` to show the next task to work on.
+- The command identifies tasks with all dependencies satisfied
+- Tasks are prioritized by priority level, dependency count, and ID
+- The command shows comprehensive task information including:
+    - Basic task details and description
+    - Implementation details
+    - Subtasks (if they exist)
+    - Contextual suggested actions
+- Recommended before starting any new development work
+- Respects your project's dependency structure
+- Ensures tasks are completed in the appropriate sequence
+- Provides ready-to-use commands for common task actions
+
+## Viewing Specific Task Details
+
+- Run `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` to view a specific task.
+- Use dot notation for subtasks: `task-master show 1.2` (shows subtask 2 of task 1)
+- Displays comprehensive information similar to the next command, but for a specific task
+- For parent tasks, shows all subtasks and their current status
+- For subtasks, shows parent task information and relationship
+- Provides contextual suggested actions appropriate for the specific task
+- Useful for examining task details before implementation or checking status
+
+## Managing Task Dependencies
+
+- Use `add_dependency` / `task-master add-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to add a dependency.
+- Use `remove_dependency` / `task-master remove-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to remove a dependency.
+- The system prevents circular dependencies and duplicate dependency entries
+- Dependencies are checked for existence before being added or removed
+- Task files are automatically regenerated after dependency changes
+- Dependencies are visualized with status indicators in task listings and files
+
+## Task Reorganization
+
+- Use `move_task` / `task-master move --from=<id> --to=<id>` to move tasks or subtasks within the hierarchy
+- This command supports several use cases:
+  - Moving a standalone task to become a subtask (e.g., `--from=5 --to=7`)
+  - Moving a subtask to become a standalone task (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7`) 
+  - Moving a subtask to a different parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7.3`)
+  - Reordering subtasks within the same parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=5.4`)
+  - Moving a task to a new, non-existent ID position (e.g., `--from=5 --to=25`)
+  - Moving multiple tasks at once using comma-separated IDs (e.g., `--from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18`)
+- The system includes validation to prevent data loss:
+  - Allows moving to non-existent IDs by creating placeholder tasks
+  - Prevents moving to existing task IDs that have content (to avoid overwriting)
+  - Validates source tasks exist before attempting to move them
+- The system maintains proper parent-child relationships and dependency integrity
+- Task files are automatically regenerated after the move operation
+- This provides greater flexibility in organizing and refining your task structure as project understanding evolves
+- This is especially useful when dealing with potential merge conflicts arising from teams creating tasks on separate branches. Solve these conflicts very easily by moving your tasks and keeping theirs.
+
+## Iterative Subtask Implementation
+
+Once a task has been broken down into subtasks using `expand_task` or similar methods, follow this iterative process for implementation:
+
+1.  **Understand the Goal (Preparation):**
+    *   Use `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` (see @`taskmaster.mdc`) to thoroughly understand the specific goals and requirements of the subtask.
+
+2.  **Initial Exploration & Planning (Iteration 1):**
+    *   This is the first attempt at creating a concrete implementation plan.
+    *   Explore the codebase to identify the precise files, functions, and even specific lines of code that will need modification.
+    *   Determine the intended code changes (diffs) and their locations.
+    *   Gather *all* relevant details from this exploration phase.
+
+3.  **Log the Plan:**
+    *   Run `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<detailed plan>'`.
+    *   Provide the *complete and detailed* findings from the exploration phase in the prompt. Include file paths, line numbers, proposed diffs, reasoning, and any potential challenges identified. Do not omit details. The goal is to create a rich, timestamped log within the subtask's `details`.
+
+4.  **Verify the Plan:**
+    *   Run `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` again to confirm that the detailed implementation plan has been successfully appended to the subtask's details.
+
+5.  **Begin Implementation:**
+    *   Set the subtask status using `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=in-progress`.
+    *   Start coding based on the logged plan.
+
+6.  **Refine and Log Progress (Iteration 2+):**
+    *   As implementation progresses, you will encounter challenges, discover nuances, or confirm successful approaches.
+    *   **Before appending new information**: Briefly review the *existing* details logged in the subtask (using `get_task` or recalling from context) to ensure the update adds fresh insights and avoids redundancy.
+    *   **Regularly** use `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<update details>\n- What worked...\n- What didn't work...'` to append new findings.
+    *   **Crucially, log:**
+        *   What worked ("fundamental truths" discovered).
+        *   What didn't work and why (to avoid repeating mistakes).
+        *   Specific code snippets or configurations that were successful.
+        *   Decisions made, especially if confirmed with user input.
+        *   Any deviations from the initial plan and the reasoning.
+    *   The objective is to continuously enrich the subtask's details, creating a log of the implementation journey that helps the AI (and human developers) learn, adapt, and avoid repeating errors.
+
+7.  **Review & Update Rules (Post-Implementation):**
+    *   Once the implementation for the subtask is functionally complete, review all code changes and the relevant chat history.
+    *   Identify any new or modified code patterns, conventions, or best practices established during the implementation.
+    *   Create new or update existing rules following internal guidelines (previously linked to `cursor_rules.mdc` and `self_improve.mdc`).
+
+8.  **Mark Task Complete:**
+    *   After verifying the implementation and updating any necessary rules, mark the subtask as completed: `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=done`.
+
+9.  **Commit Changes (If using Git):**
+    *   Stage the relevant code changes and any updated/new rule files (`git add .`).
+    *   Craft a comprehensive Git commit message summarizing the work done for the subtask, including both code implementation and any rule adjustments.
+    *   Execute the commit command directly in the terminal (e.g., `git commit -m 'feat(module): Implement feature X for subtask <subtaskId>\n\n- Details about changes...\n- Updated rule Y for pattern Z'`).
+    *   Consider if a Changeset is needed according to internal versioning guidelines (previously linked to `changeset.mdc`). If so, run `npm run changeset`, stage the generated file, and amend the commit or create a new one.
+
+10. **Proceed to Next Subtask:**
+    *   Identify the next subtask (e.g., using `next_task` / `task-master next`).
+
+## Code Analysis & Refactoring Techniques
+
+- **Top-Level Function Search**:
+    - Useful for understanding module structure or planning refactors.
+    - Use grep/ripgrep to find exported functions/constants:
+      `rg "export (async function|function|const) \w+"` or similar patterns.
+    - Can help compare functions between files during migrations or identify potential naming conflicts.
+
+---
+*This workflow provides a general guideline. Adapt it based on your specific project needs and team practices.*

+# Taskmaster Tool & Command Reference
+
+This document provides a detailed reference for interacting with Taskmaster, covering both the recommended MCP tools, suitable for integrations like Cursor, and the corresponding `task-master` CLI commands, designed for direct user interaction or fallback.
+
+**Note:** For interacting with Taskmaster programmatically or via integrated tools, using the **MCP tools is strongly recommended** due to better performance, structured data, and error handling. The CLI commands serve as a user-friendly alternative and fallback. 
+
+**Important:** Several MCP tools involve AI processing... The AI-powered tools include `parse_prd`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `update_subtask`, `update_task`, `update`, `expand_all`, `expand_task`, and `add_task`.
+
+**🏷️ Tagged Task Lists System:** Task Master now supports **tagged task lists** for multi-context task management. This allows you to maintain separate, isolated lists of tasks for different features, branches, or experiments. Existing projects are seamlessly migrated to use a default "master" tag. Most commands now support a `--tag <name>` flag to specify which context to operate on. If omitted, commands use the currently active tag.
+
+---
+
+## Initialization & Setup
+
+### 1. Initialize Project (`init`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `initialize_project`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master init [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project.`
+*   **Key CLI Options:**
+    *   `--name <name>`: `Set the name for your project in Taskmaster's configuration.`
+    *   `--description <text>`: `Provide a brief description for your project.`
+    *   `--version <version>`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.`
+    *   `-y, --yes`: `Initialize Taskmaster quickly using default settings without interactive prompts.`
+*   **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project.
+*   **MCP Variant Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project by running the 'task-master init' command.`
+*   **Key MCP Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `projectName`: `Set the name for your project.` (CLI: `--name <name>`)
+    *   `projectDescription`: `Provide a brief description for your project.` (CLI: `--description <text>`)
+    *   `projectVersion`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.` (CLI: `--version <version>`)
+    *   `authorName`: `Author name.` (CLI: `--author <author>`)
+    *   `skipInstall`: `Skip installing dependencies. Default is false.` (CLI: `--skip-install`)
+    *   `addAliases`: `Add shell aliases tm and taskmaster. Default is false.` (CLI: `--aliases`)
+    *   `yes`: `Skip prompts and use defaults/provided arguments. Default is false.` (CLI: `-y, --yes`)
+*   **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project, typically via an integrated tool like Cursor. Operates on the current working directory of the MCP server. 
+*   **Important:** Once complete, you *MUST* parse a prd in order to generate tasks. There will be no tasks files until then. The next step after initializing should be to create a PRD using the example PRD in .taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt. 
+*   **Tagging:** Use the `--tag` option to parse the PRD into a specific, non-default tag context. If the tag doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. Example: `task-master parse-prd spec.txt --tag=new-feature`.
+
+### 2. Parse PRD (`parse_prd`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `parse_prd`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master parse-prd [file] [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Parse a Product Requirements Document, PRD, or text file with Taskmaster to automatically generate an initial set of tasks in tasks.json.`
+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `input`: `Path to your PRD or requirements text file that Taskmaster should parse for tasks.` (CLI: `[file]` positional or `-i, --input <file>`)
+    *   `output`: `Specify where Taskmaster should save the generated 'tasks.json' file. Defaults to '.taskmaster/tasks/tasks.json'.` (CLI: `-o, --output <file>`)
+    *   `numTasks`: `Approximate number of top-level tasks Taskmaster should aim to generate from the document.` (CLI: `-n, --num-tasks <number>`)
+    *   `force`: `Use this to allow Taskmaster to overwrite an existing 'tasks.json' without asking for confirmation.` (CLI: `-f, --force`)
+*   **Usage:** Useful for bootstrapping a project from an existing requirements document.
+*   **Notes:** Task Master will strictly adhere to any specific requirements mentioned in the PRD, such as libraries, database schemas, frameworks, tech stacks, etc., while filling in any gaps where the PRD isn't fully specified. Tasks are designed to provide the most direct implementation path while avoiding over-engineering.
+*   **Important:** This MCP tool makes AI calls and can take up to a minute to complete. Please inform users to hang tight while the operation is in progress. If the user does not have a PRD, suggest discussing their idea and then use the example PRD in `.taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt` as a template for creating the PRD based on their idea, for use with `parse-prd`.
+
+---
+
+## AI Model Configuration
+
+### 2. Manage Models (`models`)
+*   **MCP Tool:** `models`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master models [options]`
+*   **Description:** `View the current AI model configuration or set specific models for different roles (main, research, fallback). Allows setting custom model IDs for Ollama and OpenRouter.`
+*   **Key MCP Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `setMain <model_id>`: `Set the primary model ID for task generation/updates.` (CLI: `--set-main <model_id>`)
+    *   `setResearch <model_id>`: `Set the model ID for research-backed operations.` (CLI: `--set-research <model_id>`)
+    *   `setFallback <model_id>`: `Set the model ID to use if the primary fails.` (CLI: `--set-fallback <model_id>`)
+    *   `ollama <boolean>`: `Indicates the set model ID is a custom Ollama model.` (CLI: `--ollama`)
+    *   `openrouter <boolean>`: `Indicates the set model ID is a custom OpenRouter model.` (CLI: `--openrouter`)
+    *   `listAvailableModels <boolean>`: `If true, lists available models not currently assigned to a role.` (CLI: No direct equivalent; CLI lists available automatically)
+    *   `projectRoot <string>`: `Optional. Absolute path to the project root directory.` (CLI: Determined automatically)
+*   **Key CLI Options:**
+    *   `--set-main <model_id>`: `Set the primary model.`
+    *   `--set-research <model_id>`: `Set the research model.`
+    *   `--set-fallback <model_id>`: `Set the fallback model.`
+    *   `--ollama`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for Ollama (use with --set-*).`
+    *   `--openrouter`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for OpenRouter (use with --set-*). Validates against OpenRouter API.`
+    *   `--bedrock`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for AWS Bedrock (use with --set-*).`
+    *   `--setup`: `Run interactive setup to configure models, including custom Ollama/OpenRouter IDs.`
+*   **Usage (MCP):** Call without set flags to get current config. Use `setMain`, `setResearch`, or `setFallback` with a valid model ID to update the configuration. Use `listAvailableModels: true` to get a list of unassigned models. To set a custom model, provide the model ID and set `ollama: true` or `openrouter: true`.
+*   **Usage (CLI):** Run without flags to view current configuration and available models. Use set flags to update specific roles. Use `--setup` for guided configuration, including custom models. To set a custom model via flags, use `--set-<role>=<model_id>` along with either `--ollama` or `--openrouter`.
+*   **Notes:** Configuration is stored in `.taskmaster/config.json` in the project root. This command/tool modifies that file. Use `listAvailableModels` or `task-master models` to see internally supported models. OpenRouter custom models are validated against their live API. Ollama custom models are not validated live.
+*   **API note:** API keys for selected AI providers (based on their model) need to exist in the mcp.json file to be accessible in MCP context. The API keys must be present in the local .env file for the CLI to be able to read them.
+*   **Model costs:** The costs in supported models are expressed in dollars. An input/output value of 3 is $3.00. A value of 0.8 is $0.80. 
+*   **Warning:** DO NOT MANUALLY EDIT THE .taskmaster/config.json FILE. Use the included commands either in the MCP or CLI format as needed. Always prioritize MCP tools when available and use the CLI as a fallback.
+
+---
+
+## Task Listing & Viewing
+
+### 3. Get Tasks (`get_tasks`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `get_tasks`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master list [options]`
+*   **Description:** `List your Taskmaster tasks, optionally filtering by status and showing subtasks.`
+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `status`: `Show only Taskmaster tasks matching this status (or multiple statuses, comma-separated), e.g., 'pending' or 'done,in-progress'.` (CLI: `-s, --status <status>`)
+    *   `withSubtasks`: `Include subtasks indented under their parent tasks in the list.` (CLI: `--with-subtasks`)
+    *   `tag`: `Specify which tag context to list tasks from. Defaults to the current active tag.` (CLI: `--tag <name>`)
+    *   `file`: `Path to your Taskmaster 'tasks.json' file. Default relies on auto-detection.` (CLI: `-f, --file <file>`)
+*   **Usage:** Get an overview of the project status, often used at the start of a work session.
+
+### 4. Get Next Task (`next_task`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `next_task`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master next [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Ask Taskmaster to show the next available task you can work on, based on status and completed dependencies.`
+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `file`: `Path to your Taskmaster 'tasks.json' file. Default relies on auto-detection.` (CLI: `-f, --file <file>`)
+    *   `tag`: `Specify which tag context to use. Defaults to the current active tag.` (CLI: `--tag <name>`)
+*   **Usage:** Identify what to work on next according to the plan.
+
+### 5. Get Task Details (`get_task`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `get_task`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master show [id] [options]`

+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `id`: `Required. The ID of the Taskmaster task (e.g., '15'), subtask (e.g., '15.2'), or a comma-separated list of IDs ('1,5,10.2') you want to view.` (CLI: `[id]` positional or `-i, --id <id>`)
+    *   `tag`: `Specify which tag context to get the task(s) from. Defaults to the current active tag.` (CLI: `--tag <name>`)
+    *   `file`: `Path to your Taskmaster 'tasks.json' file. Default relies on auto-detection.` (CLI: `-f, --file <file>`)
+*   **Usage:** Understand the full details for a specific task. When multiple IDs are provided, a summary table is shown.
+*   **CRITICAL INFORMATION** If you need to collect information from multiple tasks, use comma-separated IDs (i.e. 1,2,3) to receive an array of tasks. Do not needlessly get tasks one at a time if you need to get many as that is wasteful.
+
+---
+
+## Task Creation & Modification
+
+### 6. Add Task (`add_task`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `add_task`

+*   **Usage:** Quickly add newly identified tasks during development.
+*   **Important:** This MCP tool makes AI calls and can take up to a minute to complete. Please inform users to hang tight while the operation is in progress.
+
+### 7. Add Subtask (`add_subtask`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `add_subtask`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master add-subtask [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Add a new subtask to a Taskmaster parent task, or convert an existing task into a subtask.`

+
+## Environment Variables Configuration (Updated)
+
+Taskmaster primarily uses the **`.taskmaster/config.json`** file (in project root) for configuration (models, parameters, logging level, etc.), managed via `task-master models --setup`.
+
+Environment variables are used **only** for sensitive API keys related to AI providers and specific overrides like the Ollama base URL:
+
+*   **API Keys (Required for corresponding provider):**
+    *   `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
+    *   `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`
+    *   `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+    *   `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
+    *   `MISTRAL_API_KEY`
+    *   `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` (Requires `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` too)
+    *   `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
+    *   `XAI_API_KEY`
+    *   `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (Requires `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` too)
+*   **Endpoints (Optional/Provider Specific inside .taskmaster/config.json):**
+    *   `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`
+    *   `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (Default: `http://localhost:11434/api`)
+
+**Set API keys** in your **`.env`** file in the project root (for CLI use) or within the `env` section of your **`.cursor/mcp.json`** file (for MCP/Cursor integration). All other settings (model choice, max tokens, temperature, log level, custom endpoints) are managed in `.taskmaster/config.json` via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.

+# Research Session
+
+## Initial Query
+
+**Question:** should we be doing the taskmaster gateway even though we have a hamster connection now? how might we serve the ai from hamster as a standalone model?
+
+**Response:**
+
+You do not necessarily need to proceed with the Taskmaster Gateway integration if your current **Hamster connection** already provides the required AI capabilities, but the decision depends on your specific project needs, desired features, and architectural preferences. Serving the AI from Hamster as a standalone model is feasible and may offer advantages in control, cost, and flexibility, but it also comes with trade-offs compared to using a managed gateway.
+
+---
+
+## Should You Still Integrate the Taskmaster Gateway?
+
+**Key considerations:**
+
+- **Feature Set:**  
+  The Taskmaster Gateway is designed to provide access to **premium AI-powered test generation, TDD orchestration, and smart git workflows** via API key authentication. If Hamster already delivers these features (or you can implement them), the gateway may be redundant.
+
+- **Centralization and Vendor Lock-in:**  
+  Using the gateway centralizes premium features and may simplify updates, billing, and support. However, it can introduce vendor lock-in and dependency on external uptime and pricing.
+
+- **Local vs. Remote AI:**  
+  The gateway is intended to maintain local file operations while leveraging remote AI intelligence. If Hamster can run locally or on your own infrastructure, you gain more control over data privacy, latency, and cost.
+
+- **Testing and Workflow Integration:**  
+  If your team values seamless integration with **git workflows** and **test orchestration** as provided by the gateway, and these are not easily replicated with Hamster, the gateway may still be valuable.
+
+- **Project Roadmap:**  
+  If Task 102 is high priority and aligns with your long-term goals (e.g., supporting multiple AI backends or offering users a choice), completing the integration could future-proof your platform.
+
+---
+
+## Serving the AI from Hamster as a Standalone Model
+
+If you decide to use Hamster as your primary AI backend, you can serve it as a **standalone model** in several ways:
+
+### 1. **Local API Server**
+- **Wrap the Hamster model** in a lightweight HTTP API (e.g., using FastAPI, Flask, or Express).
+- Expose endpoints that mimic the Taskmaster Gateway API, allowing your CLI and other tools to interact with Hamster as if it were a remote service.
+- This approach enables easy swapping between Hamster and other backends by changing the API endpoint.
+
+### 2. **Direct Integration**
+- Integrate Hamster directly into your Taskmaster codebase as a module or service.
+- This reduces network overhead and can simplify error handling, but may require more code changes if you later want to support multiple backends.
+
+### 3. **Containerization**
+- Package Hamster and its serving API in a Docker container.
+- Users can run the container locally or deploy it to their own infrastructure, maintaining isolation and reproducibility.
+
+### 4. **Configuration and Abstraction**
+- Add a configuration flag or environment variable to select between Hamster and the Taskmaster Gateway.
+- Abstract the AI interaction layer so that switching backends requires minimal code changes.
+
+---
+
+## Actionable Recommendations
+
+- **Evaluate Feature Parity:**  
+  Compare the features of Hamster and the Taskmaster Gateway. If Hamster meets your needs, prioritize serving it as a standalone model.
+
+- **Design for Flexibility:**  
+  Implement an abstraction layer for AI providers. This allows you to support both Hamster and the Taskmaster Gateway (or others) with minimal friction.
+
+- **Document the Setup:**  
+  Clearly document how to run Hamster as a standalone service, including installation, configuration, and API usage. This will help with onboarding and maintenance.
+
+- **Consider User Experience:**  
+  If your users expect plug-and-play access to premium features (as with the gateway), ensure your Hamster integration matches or exceeds this experience.
+
+---
+
+## How This Applies to Your Tasks
+
+- **Task 102 (Taskmaster Gateway Integration):**  
+  If you choose to deprioritize this, document the rationale and ensure stakeholders agree. If you proceed, consider making the gateway optional, with Hamster as a default or fallback.
+
+- **CLI and Directory Structure:**  
+  Ensure that your `.taskmaster/` directory and CLI enhancements (Tasks 95, 57) are compatible with both Hamster and gateway-based workflows.
+
+- **Installation and Configuration:**  
+  Update your installation scripts and documentation (Tasks 64, 65, 31) to support configuration for Hamster as a backend, including any required flags or environment variables.
+
+---
+
+**Summary:**  
+If Hamster provides all required AI features, you can serve it as a standalone model via a local API or direct integration, potentially making the Taskmaster Gateway optional. Design your system to support backend flexibility, and ensure your documentation and CLI tools reflect this choice.
+
+---
+
+## Follow-up 1
+
+**Question:** so if i have an ai sdk setup from hamster, could i just expose it as an option and let users pay us directly?
+
+**Response:**
+
+Yes, if you have an AI SDK setup from Hamster, you can expose it as an option and allow users to pay you directly—**but there are important technical, legal, and business considerations** to keep in mind for your project.
+
+---
+
+### **How It Works Technically**
+- **SDK as a Service Layer:**  
+  You can wrap the Hamster AI SDK in your own API or service layer, exposing endpoints that users interact with. This way, your platform acts as a middleman, routing requests to Hamster’s backend and returning results.
+- **Billing Integration:**  
+  You can implement your own billing logic (e.g., usage-based or subscription) and charge users directly. You’d then pay Hamster for the underlying API usage (if their pricing is usage-based) or manage your own subscription costs.
+- **User Experience:**  
+  Users see your platform as the provider, not Hamster. You control the UX, branding, and support, while Hamster remains the backend engine.
+
+---
+
+### **Key Considerations for Your Project**
+- **Pricing Model Alignment:**  
+  Hamster AI offers a **free plan (250 credits/month)** and a **Pro plan (unlimited credits, $3.30/month)**. If you want to charge users, you’ll need to either:
+  - Use the Pro plan and resell access (with your own pricing),
+  - Or use the free plan and limit user access to 250 credits/month (not ideal for heavy usage).
+- **Usage Tracking:**  
+  You’ll need to track user usage (e.g., tokens, requests) to bill them accurately and ensure you don’t exceed Hamster’s limits.
+- **Legal & Terms of Service:**  
+  Check Hamster’s **terms of service** to ensure reselling or white-labeling is allowed. Some AI providers restrict commercial resale or require special agreements.
+- **Abstraction Layer:**  
+  To support flexibility (e.g., switching to other AI backends like Claude or Taskmaster Gateway), design an abstraction layer in your code. This lets you swap providers without breaking your user-facing API.
+
+---
+
+### **Actionable Steps for Your Team**
+1. **Review Hamster’s Terms:**  
+   Confirm if reselling or white-labeling is permitted.
+2. **Implement Usage Tracking:**  
+   Add logic to track user requests/tokens and map them to your billing system.
+3. **Design Your API Layer:**  
+   Create endpoints that proxy requests to Hamster, with your own authentication and rate limiting.
+4. **Set Up Billing:**  
+   Integrate a payment processor (e.g., Stripe) to charge users directly.
+5. **Document the Flow:**  
+   Clearly explain to users how billing works and what they’re paying for.
+
+---
+
+### **Trade-offs vs. Taskmaster Gateway**
+- **Pros of Using Hamster Directly:**
+  - Lower cost (especially if you use the Pro plan),
+  - More control over pricing and user experience,
+  - No vendor lock-in with Taskmaster.
+- **Cons:**
+  - You’re responsible for billing, support, and compliance,
+  - Hamster may not offer all the premium features (e.g., advanced test generation, git workflows) that Taskmaster Gateway provides.
+
+---
+
+### **Recommendation**
+If Hamster meets your AI needs and their terms allow it, **exposing it as a paid option is feasible and can be a cost-effective way to monetize your platform**. However, ensure you have a clear abstraction layer so you can easily switch providers or add new ones (like Taskmaster Gateway) in the future. This approach gives you flexibility and control while keeping costs low.

+# Repository Planning Graph (RPG) Method - PRD Template
+
+This template teaches you (AI or human) how to create structured, dependency-aware PRDs using the RPG methodology from Microsoft Research. The key insight: separate WHAT (functional) from HOW (structural), then connect them with explicit dependencies.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+1. **Dual-Semantics**: Think functional (capabilities) AND structural (code organization) separately, then map them
+2. **Explicit Dependencies**: Never assume - always state what depends on what
+3. **Topological Order**: Build foundation first, then layers on top
+4. **Progressive Refinement**: Start broad, refine iteratively
+
+## How to Use This Template
+
+- Follow the instructions in each `<instruction>` block
+- Look at `<example>` blocks to see good vs bad patterns
+- Fill in the content sections with your project details
+- The AI reading this will learn the RPG method by following along
+- Task Master will parse the resulting PRD into dependency-aware tasks
+
+## Recommended Tools for Creating PRDs
+
+When using this template to **create** a PRD (not parse it), use **code-context-aware AI assistants** for best results:
+
+**Why?** The AI needs to understand your existing codebase to make good architectural decisions about modules, dependencies, and integration points.
+
+**Recommended tools:**
+- **Claude Code** (claude-code CLI) - Best for structured reasoning and large contexts
+- **Cursor/Windsurf** - IDE integration with full codebase context
+- **Gemini CLI** (gemini-cli) - Massive context window for large codebases
+- **Codex/Grok CLI** - Strong code generation with context awareness
+
+**Note:** Once your PRD is created, `task-master parse-prd` works with any configured AI model - it just needs to read the PRD text itself, not your codebase.

+Now think about CAPABILITIES (what the system DOES), not code structure yet.
+
+Step 1: Identify high-level capability domains
+- Think: "What major things does this system do?"
+- Examples: Data Management, Core Processing, Presentation Layer
+
+Step 2: For each capability, enumerate specific features
+- Use explore-exploit strategy:
+  * Exploit: What features are REQUIRED for core value?
+  * Explore: What features make this domain COMPLETE?
+
+Step 3: For each feature, define:
+- Description: What it does in one sentence
+- Inputs: What data/context it needs
+- Outputs: What it produces/returns
+- Behavior: Key logic or transformations
+
+<example type="good">
+Capability: Data Validation
+  Feature: Schema validation
+    - Description: Validate JSON payloads against defined schemas
+    - Inputs: JSON object, schema definition
+    - Outputs: Validation result (pass/fail) + error details
+    - Behavior: Iterate fields, check types, enforce constraints
+
+  Feature: Business rule validation
+    - Description: Apply domain-specific validation rules
+    - Inputs: Validated data object, rule set
+    - Outputs: Boolean + list of violated rules
+    - Behavior: Execute rules sequentially, short-circuit on failure
+</example>
+
+<example type="bad">
+Capability: validation.js
+  (Problem: This is a FILE, not a CAPABILITY. Mixing structure into functional thinking.)
+
+Capability: Validation

+NOW think about code organization. Map capabilities to actual file/folder structure.
+
+Rules:
+1. Each capability maps to a module (folder or file)
+2. Features within a capability map to functions/classes
+3. Use clear module boundaries - each module has ONE responsibility
+4. Define what each module exports (public interface)
+
+The goal: Create a clear mapping between "what it does" (functional) and "where it lives" (structural).

+# How Task Master Uses This PRD
+
+When you run `task-master parse-prd <file>.txt`, the parser:
+
+1. **Extracts capabilities** → Main tasks
+   - Each `### Capability:` becomes a top-level task
+
+2. **Extracts features** → Subtasks
+   - Each `#### Feature:` becomes a subtask under its capability
+
+3. **Parses dependencies** → Task dependencies
+   - `Depends on: [X, Y]` sets task.dependencies = ["X", "Y"]
+
+4. **Orders by phases** → Task priorities
+   - Phase 0 tasks = highest priority
+   - Phase N tasks = lower priority, properly sequenced
+
+5. **Uses test strategy** → Test generation context
+   - Feeds test scenarios to Surgical Test Generator during implementation
+
+**Result**: A dependency-aware task graph that can be executed in topological order.
+
+## Why RPG Structure Matters
+
+Traditional flat PRDs lead to:
+- ❌ Unclear task dependencies
+- ❌ Arbitrary task ordering
+- ❌ Circular dependencies discovered late
+- ❌ Poorly scoped tasks
+
+RPG-structured PRDs provide:
+- ✅ Explicit dependency chains
+- ✅ Topological execution order
+- ✅ Clear module boundaries
+- ✅ Validated task graph before implementation
+
+## Tips for Best Results
+
+1. **Spend time on dependency graph** - This is the most valuable section for Task Master
+2. **Keep features atomic** - Each feature should be independently testable
+3. **Progressive refinement** - Start broad, use `task-master expand` to break down complex tasks
+4. **Use research mode** - `task-master parse-prd --research` leverages AI for better task generation
+</task-master-integration>
