- `in-progress` - Currently being worked on
- `done` - Completed and verified
- `deferred` - Postponed
- `cancelled` - No longer needed

## Claude Code Best Practices with Task Master
### Context Management
- Use `/clear` between different tasks to maintain focus
- This CLAUDE.md file is automatically loaded for context
- Use `task-master show <id>` to pull specific task context when needed
### Iterative Implementation
1. `task-master show <subtask-id>` - Understand requirements

### Complex Workflows with Checklists
For large migrations or multi-step processes:
1. Create a markdown PRD file describing the new changes: `touch task-migration-checklist.md` (prds can be .txt or .md)
2. Use Taskmaster to parse the new prd with `task-master parse-prd --append` (also available in MCP)
3. Use Taskmaster to expand the newly generated tasks into subtasks. Consdier using `analyze-complexity` with the correct --to and --from IDs (the new ids) to identify the ideal subtask amounts for each task. Then expand them.
4. Work through items systematically, checking them off as completed

- Never manually edit `tasks.json` - use commands instead
- Never manually edit `.taskmasterconfig` - use `task-master models`
- Never manually edit `.taskmasterconfig` - use `task-master models`
- Task markdown files in `tasks/` are auto-generated
- Run `task-master generate` after manual changes to tasks.json
### Claude Code Session Management
- Use `/clear` frequently to maintain focused context
- Create custom slash commands for repeated Task Master workflows
- Configure tool allowlist to streamline permissions
- Use headless mode for automation: `claude -p "task-master next"`
### Multi-Task Updates
- Use `update --from=<id>` to update multiple future tasks
- Use `update-task --id=<id>` for single task updates
- Use `update-subtask --id=<id>` for implementation logging
### Research Mode
- Add `--research` flag for research-based AI enhancement
- Requires a research model API key like Perplexity (`PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`) in environment
- Provides more informed task creation and updates

Once installed, users can:
- Create new tasks with `add-task` or parse a PRD (scripts/prd.txt) into tasks with `parse-prd`
- Set up model preferences with `models` tool
- Expand tasks into subtasks with `expand-all` and `expand-task`
- Explore advanced features like research mode and complexity analysis
