-Add grok-cli as a provider. You can now use Grok models with Task Master by setting the `GROK_CLI_API_KEY` environment variable.
-
-## Setup Instructions
-
-1. **Get your Grok API key** from [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai)
-2. **Set the environment variable**:
-   ```bash
-   export GROK_CLI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
-   ```
-3. **Configure Task Master to use Grok**:
-   ```bash
-   task-master models --set-main grok-beta
-   # or
-   task-master models --set-research grok-beta
-   # or
-   task-master models --set-fallback grok-beta
-   ```
-
-## Available Models
-- `grok-beta` - Latest Grok model
-- `grok-vision-beta` - Grok with vision capabilities
-
-The Grok CLI provider integrates with xAI's Grok models and can also use the local Grok CLI configuration file (`~/.grok/user-settings.json`) if available.
-
-## Credits
-Built using the [grok-cli](https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli) by Superagent AI for seamless integration with xAI's Grok models.

+- [#1200](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1200) [`fce8414`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/fce841490a9ebbf1801a42dd8a29397379cf1142) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Add grok-cli as a provider with full codebase context support. You can now use Grok models (grok-2, grok-3, grok-4, etc.) with Task Master for AI operations that have access to your entire codebase context, enabling more informed task generation and PRD parsing.
+
+  ## Setup Instructions
+  1. **Get your Grok API key** from [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai)
+  2. **Set the environment variable**:
+     ```bash
+     export GROK_CLI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+     ```
+  3. **Configure Task Master to use Grok**:
+     ```bash
+     task-master models --set-main grok-beta
+     # or
+     task-master models --set-research grok-beta
+     # or
+     task-master models --set-fallback grok-beta
+     ```
+
+  ## Key Features
+  - **Full codebase context**: Grok models can analyze your entire project when generating tasks or parsing PRDs
+  - **xAI model access**: Support for latest Grok models (grok-2, grok-3, grok-4, etc.)
+  - **Code-aware task generation**: Create more accurate and contextual tasks based on your actual codebase
+  - **Intelligent PRD parsing**: Parse requirements with understanding of your existing code structure
+
+  ## Available Models
+  - `grok-beta` - Latest Grok model with codebase context
+  - `grok-vision-beta` - Grok with vision capabilities and codebase context
+
+  The Grok CLI provider integrates with xAI's Grok models via grok-cli and can also use the local Grok CLI configuration file (`~/.grok/user-settings.json`) if available.
+
+  ## Credits
+
+  Built using the [grok-cli](https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli) by Superagent AI for seamless integration with xAI's Grok models.
