refactor(mcp): Enforce projectRoot and centralize path validation

This commit refactors how project paths are handled in MCP direct functions to improve reliability, particularly when session context is incomplete or missing.

Key changes: 1) Made projectRoot required in MCP tools. 2) Refactored findTasksJsonPath to return {tasksPath, validatedProjectRoot}. 3) Updated all direct functions to pass session to findTasksJsonPath. 4) Updated analyzeTaskComplexityDirect to use the validated root for output path resolution.

This ensures operations relying on project context receive an explicitly provided and validated project root directory, resolving errors caused by incorrect path resolution.

+Two improvements to MCP tools:
+
+1. Adjusts the response sent to the MCP client for `initialize-project` tool so it includes an explicit `next_steps` object. This is in an effort to reduce variability in what the LLM chooses to do as soon as the confirmation of initialized project. Instead of arbitrarily looking for tasks, it will know that a PRD is required next and will steer the user towards that before reaching for the parse-prd command.
+
+2. Updates the `parse_prd` tool parameter description to explicitly mention support for .md file formats, clarifying that users can provide PRD documents in various text formats including Markdown.
+
+3. Updates the `parse_prd` tool `numTasks` param description to encourage the LLM agent to use a number of tasks to break down the PRD into that is logical relative to project complexity.

+- **Major Usability & Stability Enhancements:**
+  - Taskmaster can now be seamlessly used either via the globally installed `task-master` CLI (npm package) or directly via the MCP server (e.g., within Cursor). Onboarding/initialization is supported through both methods.
+  - MCP implementation is now complete and stable, making it the preferred method for integrated environments.
+- **Bug Fixes & Reliability:**
+  - Fixed MCP server invocation issue in `mcp.json` shipped with `task-master init`.
+  - Resolved issues with CLI error messages for flags and unknown commands, added confirmation prompts for destructive actions (e.g., `remove-task`).
+  - Numerous other CLI and MCP tool bugs fixed across the suite (details may be in other changesets like `@all-parks-sort.md`).
+- **Core Functionality & Commands:**
+  - Added complete `remove-task` functionality for permanent task deletion.
+  - Implemented `initialize_project` MCP tool for easier setup in integrated environments.
+  - Introduced AsyncOperationManager for handling long-running operations (e.g., `expand`, `analyze`) in the background via MCP, with status checking.
+- **Interface & Configuration:**
+  - Renamed MCP tools for intuitive usage (`list-tasks` → `get-tasks`, `show-task` → `get-task`).
+  - Added binary alias `task-master-mcp-server`.
+  - Clarified environment configuration: `.env` for npm package, `.cursor/mcp.json` for MCP.
+  - Updated model configurations (context window, temperature, defaults) for improved performance/consistency.
+- **Internal Refinements & Fixes:**
+  - Refactored AI tool patterns, implemented Logger Wrapper, fixed critical issues in `analyze-project-complexity`, `update-task`, `update-subtask`, `set-task-status`, `update`, `expand-task`, `parse-prd`, `expand-all`.
+  - Standardized and improved silent mode implementation across MCP tools to prevent JSON response issues.
+  - Improved parameter handling and project root detection for MCP tools.
+  - Centralized AI client utilities and refactored AI services.
+  - Optimized `get-task` MCP response payload.
+- **Dependency & Licensing:**
+  - Removed dependency on non-existent package `@model-context-protocol/sdk`.
+  - Updated license to MIT + Commons Clause v1.0.
+- **Documentation & UI:**
+  - Added comprehensive `taskmaster.mdc` command/tool reference and other rule updates (specific rule adjustments may be in other changesets like `@silly-horses-grin.md`).
+  - Enhanced CLI progress bars and status displays. Added "cancelled" status.
+  - Updated README, added tutorial/examples guide, supported client list documentation.
+
 - Adjusts the MCP server invokation in the mcp.json we ship with `task-master init`. Fully functional now.
 - Rename the npx -y command. It's now `npx -y task-master-ai task-master-mcp`
 - Add additional binary alias: `task-master-mcp-server` pointing to the same MCP server script

+## Commander.js Command Testing Best Practices
+
+When testing CLI commands built with Commander.js, several special considerations must be made to avoid common pitfalls:
+
+- **Direct Action Handler Testing**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Test the command action handlers directly rather than trying to mock the entire Commander.js chain
+  - ✅ **DO**: Create simplified test-specific implementations of command handlers that match the original behavior
+  - ✅ **DO**: Explicitly handle all options, including defaults and shorthand flags (e.g., `-p` for `--prompt`)
+  - ✅ **DO**: Include null/undefined checks in test implementations for parameters that might be optional
+  - ✅ **DO**: Use fixtures from `tests/fixtures/` for consistent sample data across tests
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Create a simplified test version of the command handler
+  const testAddTaskAction = async (options) => {
+    options = options || {}; // Ensure options aren't undefined
+    
+    // Validate parameters
+    const isManualCreation = options.title && options.description;
+    const prompt = options.prompt || options.p; // Handle shorthand flags
+    
+    if (!prompt && !isManualCreation) {
+      throw new Error('Expected error message');
+    }
+    
+    // Call the mocked task manager
+    return mockTaskManager.addTask(/* parameters */);
+  };
+  
+  test('should handle required parameters correctly', async () => {
+    // Call the test implementation directly
+    await expect(async () => {
+      await testAddTaskAction({ file: 'tasks.json' });
+    }).rejects.toThrow('Expected error message');
+  });
+  ```
+
+- **Commander Chain Mocking (If Necessary)**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Mock ALL chainable methods (`option`, `argument`, `action`, `on`, etc.)
+  - ✅ **DO**: Return `this` (or the mock object) from all chainable method mocks
+  - ✅ **DO**: Remember to mock not only the initial object but also all objects returned by methods
+  - ✅ **DO**: Implement a mechanism to capture the action handler for direct testing
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // If you must mock the Commander.js chain:
+  const mockCommand = {
+    command: jest.fn().mockReturnThis(),
+    description: jest.fn().mockReturnThis(),
+    option: jest.fn().mockReturnThis(),
+    argument: jest.fn().mockReturnThis(), // Don't forget this one
+    action: jest.fn(fn => { 
+      actionHandler = fn; // Capture the handler for testing
+      return mockCommand; 
+    }),
+    on: jest.fn().mockReturnThis() // Don't forget this one
+  };
+  ```
+
+- **Parameter Handling**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Check for both main flag and shorthand flags (e.g., `prompt` and `p`)
+  - ✅ **DO**: Handle parameters like Commander would (comma-separated lists, etc.)
+  - ✅ **DO**: Set proper default values as defined in the command
+  - ✅ **DO**: Validate that required parameters are actually required in tests
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // Parse dependencies like Commander would
+  const dependencies = options.dependencies 
+    ? options.dependencies.split(',').map(id => id.trim())
+    : [];
+  ```
+
+- **Environment and Session Handling**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Properly mock session objects when required by functions
+  - ✅ **DO**: Reset environment variables between tests if modified
+  - ✅ **DO**: Use a consistent pattern for environment-dependent tests
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // Session parameter mock pattern
+  const sessionMock = { session: process.env };
+  
+  // In test:
+  expect(mockAddTask).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
+    expect.any(String),
+    'Test prompt',
+    [],
+    'medium',
+    sessionMock,
+    false,
+    null,
+    null
+  );
+  ```
+
+- **Common Pitfalls to Avoid**
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Try to use the real action implementation without proper mocking
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Mock Commander partially - either mock it completely or test the action directly
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Forget to handle optional parameters that may be undefined
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Neglect to test shorthand flag functionality (e.g., `-p`, `-r`)
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Create circular dependencies in your test mocks
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Access variables before initialization in your test implementations
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Include actual command execution in unit tests
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Overwrite the same file path in multiple tests
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ❌ DON'T: Create circular references in mocks
+  const badMock = {
+    method: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => badMock.method())
+  };
+  
+  // ❌ DON'T: Access uninitialized variables
+  const badImplementation = () => {
+    const result = uninitialized;
+    let uninitialized = 'value';

+## Testing AI Service Integrations

+  - ❌ DON'T: Import actual AI clients from their libraries
+  - ✅ DO: Create fully mocked versions that return predictable responses
+
+  ```javascript

+  import { Anthropic } from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';

+- **DO NOT rely on environment variables for API keys**

+- **DO NOT use real AI client initialization logic**
+  - ❌ DON'T: Use code that attempts to initialize or validate real AI clients
+  - ✅ DO: Create test-specific paths that bypass client initialization

+  test('should use AI client', async () => {

+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+  });
+  ```
+
+## Testing Asynchronous Code
+
+- **DO NOT rely on asynchronous operations in tests**
+  - ❌ DON'T: Use real async/await or Promise resolution in tests
+  - ✅ DO: Make all mocks return synchronous values when possible
+
+  ```javascript
+  // ❌ DON'T: Use real async functions that might fail unpredictably
+  test('should handle async operation', async () => {
+    const result = await realAsyncFunction(); // Can time out or fail for external reasons

+  });

+
+- **DO NOT test exact error messages**
+  - ❌ DON'T: Assert on exact error message text that might change
+  - ✅ DO: Test for error presence and general properties
+
+  ```javascript
+  // ❌ DON'T: Test for exact error message text
+  expect(result.error).toBe('Could not connect to API: Network error');
+
+  // ✅ DO: Test for general error properties or message patterns

   ```
 
-- **Avoid Real File System Operations**
-  - Never write to real files during tests
-  - Create test-specific versions of file operation functions
-  - Mock all file system operations including read, write, exists, etc.
-  - Verify function behavior using the in-memory data structures
-  
-  ```javascript
-  // Mock file operations
-  const mockReadJSON = jest.fn();
-  const mockWriteJSON = jest.fn();
-  
-  jest.mock('../../scripts/modules/utils.js', () => ({
-    readJSON: mockReadJSON,
-    writeJSON: mockWriteJSON,
-  }));
-  
-  test('should update task status correctly', () => {
-    // Setup mock data
-    const testData = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sampleTasks));
-    mockReadJSON.mockReturnValue(testData);
-    
-    // Call the function that would normally modify files
-    const result = testSetTaskStatus(testData, '1', 'done');
-    
-    // Assert on the in-memory data structure
-    expect(result.tasks[0].status).toBe('done');
-  });
-  ```
-
-- **Data Isolation Between Tests**
-  - Always create fresh copies of test data for each test
-  - Use `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(original))` for deep cloning
-  - Reset all mocks before each test with `jest.clearAllMocks()`
-  - Avoid state that persists between tests
-  
-  ```javascript
-  beforeEach(() => {
-    jest.clearAllMocks();
-    // Deep clone the test data
-    testTasksData = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sampleTasks));
-  });
-  ```
-
-- **Test All Path Variations**
-  - Regular tasks and subtasks
-  - Single items and multiple items
-  - Success paths and error paths
-  - Edge cases (empty data, invalid inputs, etc.)
-  
-  ```javascript
-  // Multiple test cases covering different scenarios
-  test('should update regular task status', () => {
-    /* test implementation */
-  });
-  
-  test('should update subtask status', () => {
-    /* test implementation */

-- **Stabilize Tests With Predictable Input/Output**
-  - Use consistent, predictable test fixtures
-  - Avoid random values or time-dependent data
-  - Make tests deterministic for reliable CI/CD
-  - Control all variables that might affect test outcomes
-  
-  ```javascript
-  // Use a specific known date instead of current date
-  const fixedDate = new Date('2023-01-01T12:00:00Z');
-  jest.spyOn(global, 'Date').mockImplementation(() => fixedDate);
-  ```

+## Variable Hoisting and Module Initialization Issues
+
+When testing ES modules or working with complex module imports, you may encounter variable hoisting and initialization issues. These can be particularly tricky to debug and often appear as "Cannot access 'X' before initialization" errors.
+
+- **Understanding Module Initialization Order**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Declare and initialize global variables at the top of modules
+  - ✅ **DO**: Use proper function declarations to avoid hoisting issues
+  - ✅ **DO**: Initialize variables before they are referenced, especially in imported modules
+  - ✅ **DO**: Be aware that imports are hoisted to the top of the file
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Define global state variables at the top of the module
+  let silentMode = false; // Declare and initialize first
+  
+  const CONFIG = { /* configuration */ };
+  
+  function isSilentMode() {
+    return silentMode; // Reference variable after it's initialized
+  }
+  
+  function log(level, message) {
+    if (isSilentMode()) return; // Use the function instead of accessing variable directly
+    // ...
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Testing Modules with Initialization-Dependent Functions**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Create test-specific implementations that initialize all variables correctly
+  - ✅ **DO**: Use factory functions in mocks to ensure proper initialization order
+  - ✅ **DO**: Be careful with how you mock or stub functions that depend on module state
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Test-specific implementation that avoids initialization issues
+  const testLog = (level, ...args) => {
+    // Local implementation with proper initialization
+    const isSilent = false; // Explicit initialization
+    if (isSilent) return;
+    // Test implementation...
+  };
+  ```
+
+- **Common Hoisting-Related Errors to Avoid**
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Reference variables before their declaration in module scope
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Create circular dependencies between modules
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Rely on variable initialization order across module boundaries
+  - ❌ **DON'T**: Define functions that use hoisted variables before they're initialized
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ❌ DON'T: Create reference-before-initialization patterns
+  function badFunction() {
+    if (silentMode) { /* ... */ } // ReferenceError if silentMode is declared later
+  }
+  
+  let silentMode = false;
+  
+  // ❌ DON'T: Create cross-module references that depend on initialization order
+  // module-a.js
+  import { getSetting } from './module-b.js';
+  export const config = { value: getSetting() };
+  
+  // module-b.js
+  import { config } from './module-a.js';
+  export function getSetting() {
+    return config.value; // Circular dependency causing initialization issues
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Dynamic Imports as a Solution**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Use dynamic imports (`import()`) to avoid initialization order issues
+  - ✅ **DO**: Structure modules to avoid circular dependencies that cause initialization issues
+  - ✅ **DO**: Consider factory functions for modules with complex state
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Use dynamic imports to avoid initialization issues
+  async function getTaskManager() {
+    return import('./task-manager.js');
+  }
+  
+  async function someFunction() {
+    const taskManager = await getTaskManager();
+    return taskManager.someMethod();
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Testing Approach for Modules with Initialization Issues**
+  - ✅ **DO**: Create self-contained test implementations rather than using real implementations
+  - ✅ **DO**: Mock dependencies at module boundaries instead of trying to mock deep dependencies
+  - ✅ **DO**: Isolate module-specific state in tests
+  
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Create isolated test implementation instead of reusing module code
+  test('should log messages when not in silent mode', () => {
+    // Local test implementation instead of importing from module
+    const testLog = (level, message) => {
+      if (false) return; // Always non-silent for this test
+      mockConsole(level, message);
+    };
+    
+    testLog('info', 'test message');
+    expect(mockConsole).toHaveBeenCalledWith('info', 'test message');
+  });
+  ```

-```
-Please use the task-master parse-prd command to generate tasks from my PRD. The PRD is located at scripts/prd.txt.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master parse-prd scripts/prd.txt
-```
-
-This will:
-
-- Parse your PRD document
-- Generate a structured `tasks.json` file with tasks, dependencies, priorities, and test strategies
-- The agent will understand this process due to the Cursor rules
-
-### Generate Individual Task Files
-
-Next, ask the agent to generate individual task files:
-
-```
-Please generate individual task files from tasks.json
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master generate
-```
-
-This creates individual task files in the `tasks/` directory (e.g., `task_001.txt`, `task_002.txt`), making it easier to reference specific tasks.
-
-## AI-Driven Development Workflow
-
-The Cursor agent is pre-configured (via the rules file) to follow this workflow:
-
-### 1. Task Discovery and Selection
-
-Ask the agent to list available tasks:
-
-```
-What tasks are available to work on next?
-```
-
-The agent will:
-
-- Run `task-master list` to see all tasks
-- Run `task-master next` to determine the next task to work on
-- Analyze dependencies to determine which tasks are ready to be worked on
-- Prioritize tasks based on priority level and ID order
-- Suggest the next task(s) to implement
-
-### 2. Task Implementation
-
-When implementing a task, the agent will:
-
-- Reference the task's details section for implementation specifics
-- Consider dependencies on previous tasks
-- Follow the project's coding standards
-- Create appropriate tests based on the task's testStrategy
-
-You can ask:
-
-```
-Let's implement task 3. What does it involve?
-```
-
-### 3. Task Verification
-
-Before marking a task as complete, verify it according to:
-
-- The task's specified testStrategy
-- Any automated tests in the codebase
-- Manual verification if required
-
-### 4. Task Completion
-
-When a task is completed, tell the agent:
-
-```
-Task 3 is now complete. Please update its status.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master set-status --id=3 --status=done
-```
-
-### 5. Handling Implementation Drift
-
-If during implementation, you discover that:
-
-- The current approach differs significantly from what was planned
-- Future tasks need to be modified due to current implementation choices
-- New dependencies or requirements have emerged
-
-Tell the agent:
-
-```
-We've changed our approach. We're now using Express instead of Fastify. Please update all future tasks to reflect this change.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master update --from=4 --prompt="Now we are using Express instead of Fastify."
-```
-
-This will rewrite or re-scope subsequent tasks in tasks.json while preserving completed work.
-
-### 6. Breaking Down Complex Tasks
-
-For complex tasks that need more granularity:
-
-```
-Task 5 seems complex. Can you break it down into subtasks?
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master expand --id=5 --num=3
-```
-
-You can provide additional context:
-
-```
-Please break down task 5 with a focus on security considerations.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master expand --id=5 --prompt="Focus on security aspects"
-```
-
-You can also expand all pending tasks:
-
-```
-Please break down all pending tasks into subtasks.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master expand --all
-```
-
-For research-backed subtask generation using Perplexity AI:
-
-```
-Please break down task 5 using research-backed generation.
-```
-
-The agent will execute:
-
-```bash
-task-master expand --id=5 --research
-```
-
-## Command Reference
-
-Here's a comprehensive reference of all available commands:
-
-### Parse PRD
-
-```bash
-# Parse a PRD file and generate tasks
-task-master parse-prd <prd-file.txt>
-
-# Limit the number of tasks generated
-task-master parse-prd <prd-file.txt> --num-tasks=10
-```
-
-### List Tasks
-
-```bash
-# List all tasks
-task-master list
-
-# List tasks with a specific status
-task-master list --status=<status>
-
-# List tasks with subtasks
-task-master list --with-subtasks
-
-# List tasks with a specific status and include subtasks
-task-master list --status=<status> --with-subtasks
-```
-
-### Show Next Task
-
-```bash
-# Show the next task to work on based on dependencies and status
-task-master next
-```
-
-### Show Specific Task
-
-```bash
-# Show details of a specific task
-task-master show <id>
-# or
-task-master show --id=<id>
-
-# View a specific subtask (e.g., subtask 2 of task 1)
-task-master show 1.2
-```
-
-### Update Tasks
-
-```bash
-# Update tasks from a specific ID and provide context
-task-master update --from=<id> --prompt="<prompt>"
-```
-
-### Update a Specific Task
-
-```bash
-# Update a single task by ID with new information
-task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="<prompt>"
-
-# Use research-backed updates with Perplexity AI
-task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="<prompt>" --research
-```
-
-### Update a Subtask
-
-```bash
-# Append additional information to a specific subtask
-task-master update-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId> --prompt="<prompt>"
-
-# Example: Add details about API rate limiting to subtask 2 of task 5
-task-master update-subtask --id=5.2 --prompt="Add rate limiting of 100 requests per minute"
-
-# Use research-backed updates with Perplexity AI
-task-master update-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId> --prompt="<prompt>" --research
-```
-
-Unlike the `update-task` command which replaces task information, the `update-subtask` command _appends_ new information to the existing subtask details, marking it with a timestamp. This is useful for iteratively enhancing subtasks while preserving the original content.
-
-### Remove Task
-
-```bash
-# Remove a task permanently
-task-master remove-task --id=<id>
-
-# Remove a subtask permanently
-task-master remove-task --id=<parentId.subtaskId>
-
-# Skip the confirmation prompt
-task-master remove-task --id=<id> --yes
-```
-
-The `remove-task` command permanently deletes a task or subtask from `tasks.json`. It also automatically cleans up any references to the deleted task in other tasks' dependencies. Consider using 'blocked', 'cancelled', or 'deferred' status instead if you want to keep the task for reference.
-
-### Generate Task Files
-
-```bash
-# Generate individual task files from tasks.json
-task-master generate
-```
-
-### Set Task Status
-
-```bash
-# Set status of a single task
-task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=<status>
-
-# Set status for multiple tasks
-task-master set-status --id=1,2,3 --status=<status>
-
-# Set status for subtasks
-task-master set-status --id=1.1,1.2 --status=<status>
-```
-
-When marking a task as "done", all of its subtasks will automatically be marked as "done" as well.
-
-### Expand Tasks
-
-```bash
-# Expand a specific task with subtasks
-task-master expand --id=<id> --num=<number>
-
-# Expand with additional context
-task-master expand --id=<id> --prompt="<context>"
-
-# Expand all pending tasks
-task-master expand --all
-
-# Force regeneration of subtasks for tasks that already have them
-task-master expand --all --force
-
-# Research-backed subtask generation for a specific task
-task-master expand --id=<id> --research
-
-# Research-backed generation for all tasks
-task-master expand --all --research
-```
-
-### Clear Subtasks
-
-```bash
-# Clear subtasks from a specific task
-task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>
-
-# Clear subtasks from multiple tasks
-task-master clear-subtasks --id=1,2,3
-
-# Clear subtasks from all tasks
-task-master clear-subtasks --all
-```
-
-### Analyze Task Complexity
-
-```bash
-# Analyze complexity of all tasks
-task-master analyze-complexity
-
-# Save report to a custom location
-task-master analyze-complexity --output=my-report.json
-
-# Use a specific LLM model
-task-master analyze-complexity --model=claude-3-opus-20240229
-
-# Set a custom complexity threshold (1-10)
-task-master analyze-complexity --threshold=6
-
-# Use an alternative tasks file
-task-master analyze-complexity --file=custom-tasks.json
-
-# Use Perplexity AI for research-backed complexity analysis
-task-master analyze-complexity --research
-```
-
-### View Complexity Report
-
-```bash
-# Display the task complexity analysis report
-task-master complexity-report
-
-# View a report at a custom location
-task-master complexity-report --file=my-report.json
-```
-
-### Managing Task Dependencies
-
-```bash
-# Add a dependency to a task
-task-master add-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>
-
-# Remove a dependency from a task
-task-master remove-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>
-
-# Validate dependencies without fixing them
-task-master validate-dependencies
-
-# Find and fix invalid dependencies automatically
-task-master fix-dependencies
-```
-
-### Add a New Task
-
-```bash
-# Add a new task using AI
-task-master add-task --prompt="Description of the new task"
-
-# Add a task with dependencies
-task-master add-task --prompt="Description" --dependencies=1,2,3
-
-# Add a task with priority
-task-master add-task --prompt="Description" --priority=high
-```
-
-## Feature Details
-
-### Analyzing Task Complexity
-
-The `analyze-complexity` command:
-
-- Analyzes each task using AI to assess its complexity on a scale of 1-10
-- Recommends optimal number of subtasks based on configured DEFAULT_SUBTASKS
-- Generates tailored prompts for expanding each task
-- Creates a comprehensive JSON report with ready-to-use commands
-- Saves the report to scripts/task-complexity-report.json by default
-
-The generated report contains:
-
-- Complexity analysis for each task (scored 1-10)
-- Recommended number of subtasks based on complexity
-- AI-generated expansion prompts customized for each task
-- Ready-to-run expansion commands directly within each task analysis
-
-### Viewing Complexity Report
-
-The `complexity-report` command:
-
-- Displays a formatted, easy-to-read version of the complexity analysis report
-- Shows tasks organized by complexity score (highest to lowest)
-- Provides complexity distribution statistics (low, medium, high)
-- Highlights tasks recommended for expansion based on threshold score
-- Includes ready-to-use expansion commands for each complex task
-- If no report exists, offers to generate one on the spot
-
-### Smart Task Expansion
-
-The `expand` command automatically checks for and uses the complexity report:
-
-When a complexity report exists:
-
-- Tasks are automatically expanded using the recommended subtask count and prompts
-- When expanding all tasks, they're processed in order of complexity (highest first)
-- Research-backed generation is preserved from the complexity analysis
-- You can still override recommendations with explicit command-line options
-
-Example workflow:
-
-```bash
-# Generate the complexity analysis report with research capabilities
-task-master analyze-complexity --research
-
-# Review the report in a readable format
-task-master complexity-report
-
-# Expand tasks using the optimized recommendations
-task-master expand --id=8
-# or expand all tasks
-task-master expand --all
-```
-
-### Finding the Next Task
-
-The `next` command:
-
-- Identifies tasks that are pending/in-progress and have all dependencies satisfied
-- Prioritizes tasks by priority level, dependency count, and task ID
-- Displays comprehensive information about the selected task:
-  - Basic task details (ID, title, priority, dependencies)
-  - Implementation details
-  - Subtasks (if they exist)
-- Provides contextual suggested actions:
-  - Command to mark the task as in-progress
-  - Command to mark the task as done
-  - Commands for working with subtasks
-
-### Viewing Specific Task Details
-
-The `show` command:
-
-- Displays comprehensive details about a specific task or subtask
-- Shows task status, priority, dependencies, and detailed implementation notes
-- For parent tasks, displays all subtasks and their status
-- For subtasks, shows parent task relationship
-- Provides contextual action suggestions based on the task's state
-- Works with both regular tasks and subtasks (using the format taskId.subtaskId)
-
-## Best Practices for AI-Driven Development
-
-1. **Start with a detailed PRD**: The more detailed your PRD, the better the generated tasks will be.
-
-2. **Review generated tasks**: After parsing the PRD, review the tasks to ensure they make sense and have appropriate dependencies.
-
-3. **Analyze task complexity**: Use the complexity analysis feature to identify which tasks should be broken down further.
-
-4. **Follow the dependency chain**: Always respect task dependencies - the Cursor agent will help with this.
-
-5. **Update as you go**: If your implementation diverges from the plan, use the update command to keep future tasks aligned with your current approach.
-
-6. **Break down complex tasks**: Use the expand command to break down complex tasks into manageable subtasks.
-
-7. **Regenerate task files**: After any updates to tasks.json, regenerate the task files to keep them in sync.
-
-8. **Communicate context to the agent**: When asking the Cursor agent to help with a task, provide context about what you're trying to achieve.
-
-9. **Validate dependencies**: Periodically run the validate-dependencies command to check for invalid or circular dependencies.
-

 ## Best Practices
 
 1. **Error Handling**:
+
    - Always use try/catch blocks around both client initialization and API calls
    - Use `handleClaudeError` to provide user-friendly error messages
    - Return standardized error objects with code and message
 
 2. **Progress Reporting**:
+
    - Report progress at key points (starting, processing, completing)
    - Include meaningful status messages
    - Include error details in progress reports when failures occur
 
 3. **Session Handling**:
+
    - Always pass the session from the context to the AI client getters
    - Use `getModelConfig` to respect user settings from session
 
 4. **Model Selection**:
+
    - Use `getBestAvailableAIModel` when you need to select between different models
    - Set `requiresResearch: true` when you need Perplexity capabilities

+# Task Master Command Reference
+
+Here's a comprehensive reference of all available commands:
+
+## Parse PRD
+
+```bash
+# Parse a PRD file and generate tasks
+task-master parse-prd <prd-file.txt>
+
+# Limit the number of tasks generated
+task-master parse-prd <prd-file.txt> --num-tasks=10
+```
+
+## List Tasks
+
+```bash
+# List all tasks
+task-master list
+
+# List tasks with a specific status
+task-master list --status=<status>
+
+# List tasks with subtasks
+task-master list --with-subtasks
+
+# List tasks with a specific status and include subtasks
+task-master list --status=<status> --with-subtasks
+```
+
+## Show Next Task
+
+```bash
+# Show the next task to work on based on dependencies and status
+task-master next
+```
+
+## Show Specific Task
+
+```bash
+# Show details of a specific task
+task-master show <id>
+# or
+task-master show --id=<id>
+
+# View a specific subtask (e.g., subtask 2 of task 1)
+task-master show 1.2
+```
+
+## Update Tasks
+
+```bash
+# Update tasks from a specific ID and provide context
+task-master update --from=<id> --prompt="<prompt>"
+```
+
+## Update a Specific Task
+
+```bash
+# Update a single task by ID with new information
+task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="<prompt>"
+
+# Use research-backed updates with Perplexity AI
+task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="<prompt>" --research
+```
+
+## Update a Subtask
+
+```bash
+# Append additional information to a specific subtask
+task-master update-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId> --prompt="<prompt>"
+
+# Example: Add details about API rate limiting to subtask 2 of task 5
+task-master update-subtask --id=5.2 --prompt="Add rate limiting of 100 requests per minute"
+
+# Use research-backed updates with Perplexity AI
+task-master update-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId> --prompt="<prompt>" --research
+```
+
+Unlike the `update-task` command which replaces task information, the `update-subtask` command _appends_ new information to the existing subtask details, marking it with a timestamp. This is useful for iteratively enhancing subtasks while preserving the original content.
+
+## Generate Task Files
+
+```bash
+# Generate individual task files from tasks.json
+task-master generate
+```
+
+## Set Task Status
+
+```bash
+# Set status of a single task
+task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=<status>
+
+# Set status for multiple tasks
+task-master set-status --id=1,2,3 --status=<status>
+
+# Set status for subtasks
+task-master set-status --id=1.1,1.2 --status=<status>
+```
+
+When marking a task as "done", all of its subtasks will automatically be marked as "done" as well.
+
+## Expand Tasks
+
+```bash
+# Expand a specific task with subtasks
+task-master expand --id=<id> --num=<number>
+
+# Expand with additional context
+task-master expand --id=<id> --prompt="<context>"
+
+# Expand all pending tasks
+task-master expand --all
+
+# Force regeneration of subtasks for tasks that already have them
+task-master expand --all --force
+
+# Research-backed subtask generation for a specific task
+task-master expand --id=<id> --research
+
+# Research-backed generation for all tasks
+task-master expand --all --research
+```
+
+## Clear Subtasks
+
+```bash
+# Clear subtasks from a specific task
+task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>
+
+# Clear subtasks from multiple tasks
+task-master clear-subtasks --id=1,2,3
+
+# Clear subtasks from all tasks
+task-master clear-subtasks --all
+```
+
+## Analyze Task Complexity
+
+```bash
+# Analyze complexity of all tasks
+task-master analyze-complexity
+
+# Save report to a custom location
+task-master analyze-complexity --output=my-report.json
+
+# Use a specific LLM model
+task-master analyze-complexity --model=claude-3-opus-20240229
+
+# Set a custom complexity threshold (1-10)
+task-master analyze-complexity --threshold=6
+
+# Use an alternative tasks file
+task-master analyze-complexity --file=custom-tasks.json
+
+# Use Perplexity AI for research-backed complexity analysis
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+```
+
+## View Complexity Report
+
+```bash
+# Display the task complexity analysis report
+task-master complexity-report
+
+# View a report at a custom location
+task-master complexity-report --file=my-report.json
+```
+
+## Managing Task Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Add a dependency to a task
+task-master add-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>
+
+# Remove a dependency from a task
+task-master remove-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>
+
+# Validate dependencies without fixing them
+task-master validate-dependencies
+
+# Find and fix invalid dependencies automatically
+task-master fix-dependencies
+```
+
+## Add a New Task
+
+```bash
+# Add a new task using AI
+task-master add-task --prompt="Description of the new task"
+
+# Add a task with dependencies
+task-master add-task --prompt="Description" --dependencies=1,2,3

+# Task Structure
+
+Tasks in Task Master follow a specific format designed to provide comprehensive information for both humans and AI assistants.
+
+## Task Fields in tasks.json
+
+Tasks in tasks.json have the following structure:
+
+- `id`: Unique identifier for the task (Example: `1`)
+- `title`: Brief, descriptive title of the task (Example: `"Initialize Repo"`)
+- `description`: Concise description 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 tasks that must be completed before this task (Example: `[1, 2]`)
+  - Dependencies are displayed with status indicators (✅ for completed, ⏱️ for pending)
+  - This helps quickly identify which prerequisite tasks are blocking work
+- `priority`: Importance level of the task (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 that make up the main task (Example: `[{"id": 1, "title": "Configure OAuth", ...}]`)
+
+## Task File Format
+
+Individual task files follow this format:
+
+```
+# Task ID: <id>
+# Title: <title>
+# Status: <status>
+# Dependencies: <comma-separated list of dependency IDs>
+# Priority: <priority>
+# Description: <brief description>
+# Details:
+<detailed implementation notes>
+
+# Test Strategy:
+<verification approach>
+```
+
+## Features in Detail
+
+### Analyzing Task Complexity
+
+The `analyze-complexity` command:
+
+- Analyzes each task using AI to assess its complexity on a scale of 1-10
+- Recommends optimal number of subtasks based on configured DEFAULT_SUBTASKS
+- Generates tailored prompts for expanding each task
+- Creates a comprehensive JSON report with ready-to-use commands
+- Saves the report to scripts/task-complexity-report.json by default
+
+The generated report contains:
+
+- Complexity analysis for each task (scored 1-10)
+- Recommended number of subtasks based on complexity
+- AI-generated expansion prompts customized for each task
+- Ready-to-run expansion commands directly within each task analysis
+
+### Viewing Complexity Report
+
+The `complexity-report` command:
+
+- Displays a formatted, easy-to-read version of the complexity analysis report
+- Shows tasks organized by complexity score (highest to lowest)
+- Provides complexity distribution statistics (low, medium, high)
+- Highlights tasks recommended for expansion based on threshold score
+- Includes ready-to-use expansion commands for each complex task
+- If no report exists, offers to generate one on the spot
+
+### Smart Task Expansion
+
+The `expand` command automatically checks for and uses the complexity report:
+
+When a complexity report exists:
+
+- Tasks are automatically expanded using the recommended subtask count and prompts
+- When expanding all tasks, they're processed in order of complexity (highest first)
+- Research-backed generation is preserved from the complexity analysis
+- You can still override recommendations with explicit command-line options
+
+Example workflow:
+
+```bash
+# Generate the complexity analysis report with research capabilities
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# Review the report in a readable format
+task-master complexity-report
+
+# Expand tasks using the optimized recommendations
+task-master expand --id=8
+# or expand all tasks
+task-master expand --all
+```
+
+### Finding the Next Task
+
+The `next` command:
+
+- Identifies tasks that are pending/in-progress and have all dependencies satisfied
+- Prioritizes tasks by priority level, dependency count, and task ID
+- Displays comprehensive information about the selected task:
+  - Basic task details (ID, title, priority, dependencies)
+  - Implementation details
+  - Subtasks (if they exist)
+- Provides contextual suggested actions:
+  - Command to mark the task as in-progress
+  - Command to mark the task as done
+  - Commands for working with subtasks
+
+### Viewing Specific Task Details
+
+The `show` command:
+
+- Displays comprehensive details about a specific task or subtask
+- Shows task status, priority, dependencies, and detailed implementation notes
+- For parent tasks, displays all subtasks and their status
+- For subtasks, shows parent task relationship
+- Provides contextual action suggestions based on the task's state
+- Works with both regular tasks and subtasks (using the format taskId.subtaskId)
+
+## Best Practices for AI-Driven Development
+
+1. **Start with a detailed PRD**: The more detailed your PRD, the better the generated tasks will be.
+
+2. **Review generated tasks**: After parsing the PRD, review the tasks to ensure they make sense and have appropriate dependencies.
+
+3. **Analyze task complexity**: Use the complexity analysis feature to identify which tasks should be broken down further.
+
+4. **Follow the dependency chain**: Always respect task dependencies - the Cursor agent will help with this.
+
+5. **Update as you go**: If your implementation diverges from the plan, use the update command to keep future tasks aligned with your current approach.
+
+6. **Break down complex tasks**: Use the expand command to break down complex tasks into manageable subtasks.
+
+7. **Regenerate task files**: After any updates to tasks.json, regenerate the task files to keep them in sync.
+
+8. **Communicate context to the agent**: When asking the Cursor agent to help with a task, provide context about what you're trying to achieve.
+
+9. **Validate dependencies**: Periodically run the validate-dependencies command to check for invalid or circular dependencies.

+# Task Master Tutorial
+
+This tutorial will guide you through setting up and using Task Master for AI-driven development.
+
+## Initial Setup
+
+There are two ways to set up Task Master: using MCP (recommended) or via npm installation.
+
+### Option 1: Using MCP (Recommended)
+
+MCP (Model Control Protocol) provides the easiest way to get started with Task Master directly in your editor.
+
+1. **Add the MCP config to your editor** (Cursor recommended, but it works with other text editors):
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"taskmaster-ai": {
+			"command": "npx",
+			"args": ["-y", "--package", "task-master-ai", "task-master-mcp"],
+			"env": {
+				"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "YOUR_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"MODEL": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
+				"PERPLEXITY_MODEL": "sonar-pro",
+				"MAX_TOKENS": 128000,
+				"TEMPERATURE": 0.2,
+				"DEFAULT_SUBTASKS": 5,
+				"DEFAULT_PRIORITY": "medium"
+			}
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+2. **Enable the MCP** in your editor settings
+
+3. **Prompt the AI** to initialize Task Master:
+
+```
+Can you please initialize taskmaster-ai into my project?
+```
+
+The AI will:
+
+- Create necessary project structure
+- Set up initial configuration files
+- Guide you through the rest of the process
+
+4. Place your PRD document in the `scripts/` directory (e.g., `scripts/prd.txt`)
+
+5. **Use natural language commands** to interact with Task Master:
+
+```
+Can you parse my PRD at scripts/prd.txt?
+What's the next task I should work on?
+Can you help me implement task 3?
+```
+
+### Option 2: Manual Installation
+
+If you prefer to use the command line interface directly:
+
+```bash
+# Install globally
+npm install -g task-master-ai
+
+# OR install locally within your project
+npm install task-master-ai
+```
+
+Initialize a new project:
+
+```bash
+# If installed globally
+task-master init
+
+# If installed locally
+npx task-master-init
+```
+
+This will prompt you for project details and set up a new project with the necessary files and structure.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+After setting up Task Master, you can use these commands (either via AI prompts or CLI):
+
+```bash
+# Parse a PRD and generate tasks
+task-master parse-prd your-prd.txt
+
+# List all tasks
+task-master list
+
+# Show the next task to work on
+task-master next
+
+# Generate task files
+task-master generate
+```
+
+## Setting up Cursor AI Integration
+
+Task Master is designed to work seamlessly with [Cursor AI](https://www.cursor.so/), providing a structured workflow for AI-driven development.
+
+### Using Cursor with MCP (Recommended)
+
+If you've already set up Task Master with MCP in Cursor, the integration is automatic. You can simply use natural language to interact with Task Master:
+
+```
+What tasks are available to work on next?
+Can you analyze the complexity of our tasks?
+I'd like to implement task 4. What does it involve?
+```
+
+### Manual Cursor Setup
+
+If you're not using MCP, you can still set up Cursor integration:
+
+1. After initializing your project, open it in Cursor
+2. The `.cursor/rules/dev_workflow.mdc` file is automatically loaded by Cursor, providing the AI with knowledge about the task management system
+3. Place your PRD document in the `scripts/` directory (e.g., `scripts/prd.txt`)
+4. Open Cursor's AI chat and switch to Agent mode
+
+### Alternative MCP Setup in Cursor
+
+You can also set up the MCP server in Cursor settings:
+
+1. Go to Cursor settings
+2. Navigate to the MCP section
+3. Click on "Add New MCP Server"
+4. Configure with the following details:
+   - Name: "Task Master"
+   - Type: "Command"
+   - Command: "npx -y --package task-master-ai task-master-mcp"
+5. Save the settings
+
+Once configured, you can interact with Task Master's task management commands directly through Cursor's interface, providing a more integrated experience.
+
+## Initial Task Generation
+
+In Cursor's AI chat, instruct the agent to generate tasks from your PRD:
+
+```
+Please use the task-master parse-prd command to generate tasks from my PRD. The PRD is located at scripts/prd.txt.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master parse-prd scripts/prd.txt
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Parse your PRD document
+- Generate a structured `tasks.json` file with tasks, dependencies, priorities, and test strategies
+- The agent will understand this process due to the Cursor rules
+
+### Generate Individual Task Files
+
+Next, ask the agent to generate individual task files:
+
+```
+Please generate individual task files from tasks.json
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master generate
+```
+
+This creates individual task files in the `tasks/` directory (e.g., `task_001.txt`, `task_002.txt`), making it easier to reference specific tasks.
+
+## AI-Driven Development Workflow
+
+The Cursor agent is pre-configured (via the rules file) to follow this workflow:
+
+### 1. Task Discovery and Selection
+
+Ask the agent to list available tasks:
+
+```
+What tasks are available to work on next?
+```
+
+The agent will:
+
+- Run `task-master list` to see all tasks
+- Run `task-master next` to determine the next task to work on
+- Analyze dependencies to determine which tasks are ready to be worked on
+- Prioritize tasks based on priority level and ID order
+- Suggest the next task(s) to implement
+
+### 2. Task Implementation
+
+When implementing a task, the agent will:
+
+- Reference the task's details section for implementation specifics
+- Consider dependencies on previous tasks
+- Follow the project's coding standards
+- Create appropriate tests based on the task's testStrategy
+
+You can ask:
+
+```
+Let's implement task 3. What does it involve?
+```
+
+### 3. Task Verification
+
+Before marking a task as complete, verify it according to:
+
+- The task's specified testStrategy
+- Any automated tests in the codebase
+- Manual verification if required
+
+### 4. Task Completion
+
+When a task is completed, tell the agent:
+
+```
+Task 3 is now complete. Please update its status.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master set-status --id=3 --status=done
+```
+
+### 5. Handling Implementation Drift
+
+If during implementation, you discover that:
+
+- The current approach differs significantly from what was planned
+- Future tasks need to be modified due to current implementation choices
+- New dependencies or requirements have emerged
+
+Tell the agent:
+
+```
+We've changed our approach. We're now using Express instead of Fastify. Please update all future tasks to reflect this change.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master update --from=4 --prompt="Now we are using Express instead of Fastify."
+```
+
+This will rewrite or re-scope subsequent tasks in tasks.json while preserving completed work.
+
+### 6. Breaking Down Complex Tasks
+
+For complex tasks that need more granularity:
+
+```
+Task 5 seems complex. Can you break it down into subtasks?
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master expand --id=5 --num=3
+```
+
+You can provide additional context:
+
+```
+Please break down task 5 with a focus on security considerations.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master expand --id=5 --prompt="Focus on security aspects"
+```
+
+You can also expand all pending tasks:
+
+```
+Please break down all pending tasks into subtasks.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master expand --all
+```
+
+For research-backed subtask generation using Perplexity AI:
+
+```
+Please break down task 5 using research-backed generation.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master expand --id=5 --research
+```
+
