 - Adding rules creates the brand rules directory (e.g., `.roo/rules`) and copies/initializes the brand's rules.
 - Removing rules deletes the brand rules directory and associated MCP config.
 - You can use multiple comma-separated brands in a single command.
+- Use the `--force` flag to bypass the confirmation prompt when removing rules (dangerous, irreversible):
+
+```bash
+task-master rules remove windsurf --force
+````
+
+:warning: **Warning:** The `--force` flag will immediately and permanently delete brand rules and configuration without asking for confirmation.
