+Migrate AI services to use generateObject for structured data generation
+
+This update migrates all AI service calls from generateText to generateObject, ensuring more reliable and structured responses across all commands.
+
+### Key Changes:
+
+- **Unified AI Service**: Replaced separate generateText implementations with a single generateObjectService that handles structured data generation
+- **JSON Mode Support**: Added proper JSON mode configuration for providers that support it (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq)
+- **Schema Validation**: Integrated Zod schemas for all AI-generated content with automatic validation
+- **Provider Compatibility**: Maintained compatibility with all existing providers while leveraging their native structured output capabilities
+- **Improved Reliability**: Structured output generation reduces parsing errors and ensures consistent data formats
+
+### Technical Improvements:
+
+- Centralized provider configuration in `ai-providers-unified.js`
+- Added `generateObject` support detection for each provider
+- Implemented proper error handling for schema validation failures
+- Maintained backward compatibility with existing prompt structures
+
+### Bug Fixes:
+
+- Fixed subtask ID numbering issue where AI was generating inconsistent IDs (101-105, 601-603) instead of sequential numbering (1, 2, 3...)
+- Enhanced prompt instructions to enforce proper ID generation patterns
+- Ensured subtasks display correctly as X.1, X.2, X.3 format
+
+This migration improves the reliability and consistency of AI-generated content throughout the Task Master application.

+Enhanced Roo Code profile with MCP timeout configuration for improved reliability during long-running AI operations. The Roo profile now automatically configures a 300-second timeout for MCP server operations, preventing timeouts during complex tasks like `parse-prd`, `expand-all`, `analyze-complexity`, and `research` operations. This change also replaces static MCP configuration files with programmatic generation for better maintainability.
+
+**What's New:**
+- 300-second timeout for MCP operations (up from default 60 seconds)
+- Programmatic MCP configuration generation (replaces static asset files)
+- Enhanced reliability for AI-powered operations
+- Consistent with other AI coding assistant profiles
+
+**Migration:** No user action required - existing Roo Code installations will automatically receive the enhanced MCP configuration on next initialization.

-Add RPG (Repository Planning Graph) method template for structured PRD creation. The new `example_prd_rpg.txt` template teaches AI agents and developers the RPG methodology through embedded instructions, inline good/bad examples, and XML-style tags for structure. This template enables creation of dependency-aware PRDs that automatically generate topologically-ordered task graphs when parsed with Task Master.
-
-Key features:
-- Method-as-template: teaches RPG principles (dual-semantics, explicit dependencies, topological order) while being used
-- Inline instructions at decision points guide AI through each section
-- Good/bad examples for immediate pattern matching
-- Flexible plain-text format with XML-style tags for parseability
-- Critical dependency-graph section ensures correct task ordering
-- Automatic inclusion during `task-master init`
-- Comprehensive documentation at [docs.task-master.dev/capabilities/rpg-method](https://docs.task-master.dev/capabilities/rpg-method)
-- Tool recommendations for code-context-aware PRD creation (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex/Grok)
-
-The RPG template complements the existing `example_prd.txt` and provides a more structured approach for complex projects requiring clear module boundaries and dependency chains.

-Enhance `expand_all` to intelligently use complexity analysis recommendations when expanding tasks. 
-
-The expand-all operation now automatically leverages recommendations from `analyze-complexity` to determine optimal subtask counts for each task, resulting in more accurate and context-aware task breakdowns.

-Key improvements:
-- Automatic integration with complexity analysis reports
-- Tag-aware complexity report path resolution
-- Intelligent subtask count determination based on task complexity
-- Falls back to defaults when complexity analysis is unavailable
-- Enhanced logging for better visibility into expansion decisions
-
-When you run `task-master expand --all` after `task-master analyze-complexity`, Task Master now uses the recommended subtask counts from the complexity analysis instead of applying uniform defaults, ensuring each task is broken down according to its actual complexity.

-# 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

-Rules:
-1. List modules in dependency order (foundation first)

-# 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

-
-  This update migrates all AI service calls from generateText to generateObject, ensuring more reliable and structured responses across all commands.
-
-  ### Key Changes:
-  - **Unified AI Service**: Replaced separate generateText implementations with a single generateObjectService that handles structured data generation
-  - **JSON Mode Support**: Added proper JSON mode configuration for providers that support it (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq)
-  - **Schema Validation**: Integrated Zod schemas for all AI-generated content with automatic validation
-  - **Provider Compatibility**: Maintained compatibility with all existing providers while leveraging their native structured output capabilities
-  - **Improved Reliability**: Structured output generation reduces parsing errors and ensures consistent data formats
-
-  ### Technical Improvements:
-  - Centralized provider configuration in `ai-providers-unified.js`
-  - Added `generateObject` support detection for each provider
-  - Implemented proper error handling for schema validation failures
-  - Maintained backward compatibility with existing prompt structures
-
-  ### Bug Fixes:
-  - Fixed subtask ID numbering issue where AI was generating inconsistent IDs (101-105, 601-603) instead of sequential numbering (1, 2, 3...)
-  - Enhanced prompt instructions to enforce proper ID generation patterns
-  - Ensured subtasks display correctly as X.1, X.2, X.3 format
-
-  This migration improves the reliability and consistency of AI-generated content throughout the Task Master application.

-- [#1112](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1112) [`d67b81d`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/d67b81d25ddd927fabb6f5deb368e8993519c541) Thanks [@olssonsten](https://github.com/olssonsten)! - Enhanced Roo Code profile with MCP timeout configuration for improved reliability during long-running AI operations. The Roo profile now automatically configures a 300-second timeout for MCP server operations, preventing timeouts during complex tasks like `parse-prd`, `expand-all`, `analyze-complexity`, and `research` operations. This change also replaces static MCP configuration files with programmatic generation for better maintainability.
-
-  **What's New:**
-  - 300-second timeout for MCP operations (up from default 60 seconds)
-  - Programmatic MCP configuration generation (replaces static asset files)
-  - Enhanced reliability for AI-powered operations
-  - Consistent with other AI coding assistant profiles
-
-  **Migration:** No user action required - existing Roo Code installations will automatically receive the enhanced MCP configuration on next initialization.

-
-# Repository Planning Graph (RPG) Method
-
-The RPG (Repository Planning Graph) method is an advanced approach to creating Product Requirements Documents that generate highly-structured, dependency-aware task graphs. It's based on Microsoft Research's methodology for scalable codebase generation.
-
-## When to Use RPG
-
-Use the RPG template (`example_prd_rpg.txt`) for:
-
-- **Complex multi-module systems** with intricate dependencies
-- **Large-scale codebases** being built from scratch
-- **Projects requiring explicit architecture** and clear module boundaries
-- **Teams needing dependency visibility** for parallel development
-
-For simpler features or smaller projects, the standard `example_prd.txt` template may be more appropriate.
-
----
-
-## Core Principles
-
-### 1. Dual-Semantics
-
-Separate **functional** thinking (WHAT) from **structural** thinking (HOW):
-
-```
-Functional: "Data Validation capability with schema checking and rule enforcement"
-                    ↓
-Structural: "src/validation/ with schema-validator.js and rule-validator.js"
-```
-
-This separation prevents mixing concerns and creates clearer module boundaries.
-
-### 2. Explicit Dependencies
-
-Never assume dependencies - always state them explicitly:
-
-```
-Good:
-  Module: data-ingestion
-  Depends on: [schema-validator, config-manager]
-
-Bad:
-  Module: data-ingestion
-  (Assumes schema-validator exists somewhere)
-```
-
-Explicit dependencies enable:
-- Topological ordering of implementation
-- Parallel development of independent modules
-- Clear build/test order
-- Early detection of circular dependencies
-
-### 3. Topological Order
-
-Build foundation layers before higher layers:
-
-```
-Phase 0 (Foundation): error-handling, base-types, config
-                ↓
-Phase 1 (Data): validation, ingestion (depend on Phase 0)
-                ↓
-Phase 2 (Core): algorithms, pipelines (depend on Phase 1)
-                ↓
-Phase 3 (API): routes, handlers (depend on Phase 2)
-```
-
-Task Master automatically orders tasks based on this dependency chain.
-
-### 4. Progressive Refinement
-
-Start broad, refine iteratively:
-
-1. High-level capabilities → Main tasks
-2. Features per capability → Subtasks
-3. Implementation details → Expanded subtasks
-
----
-
-## Template Structure
-
-The RPG template guides you through 7 key sections:
-
-### 1. Overview
-- Problem statement
-- Target users
-- Success metrics
-
-### 2. Functional Decomposition (WHAT)
-- High-level capability domains
-- Features per capability
-- Inputs/outputs/behavior for each feature
-
-**Example:**
-```
-Capability: Data Management
-  Feature: Schema validation
-    Description: Validate JSON against defined schemas
-    Inputs: JSON object, schema definition
-    Outputs: Validation result + error details
-    Behavior: Iterate fields, check types, enforce constraints
-```
-
-### 3. Structural Decomposition (HOW)
-- Repository folder structure
-- Module-to-capability mapping
-- File organization
-- Public interfaces/exports
-
-**Example:**
-```
-Capability: Data Management
-  → Maps to: src/data/
-    ├── schema-validator.js    (Schema validation feature)
-    ├── rule-validator.js      (Rule validation feature)
-    └── index.js               (Exports)
-```
-
-### 4. Dependency Graph (CRITICAL)
-- Foundation layer (no dependencies)
-- Each subsequent layer's dependencies
-- Explicit "depends on" declarations
-
-**Example:**
-```
-Foundation Layer (Phase 0):
-  - error-handling: No dependencies
-  - base-types: No dependencies
-
-Data Layer (Phase 1):
-  - schema-validator: Depends on [base-types, error-handling]
-  - data-ingestion: Depends on [schema-validator]
-```
-
-### 5. Implementation Roadmap
-- Phases with entry/exit criteria
-- Tasks grouped by phase
-- Clear deliverables per phase
-
-### 6. Test Strategy
-- Test pyramid ratios
-- Coverage requirements
-- Critical test scenarios per module
-- Guidelines for test generation
-
-### 7. Architecture & Risks
-- Technical architecture
-- Data models
-- Technology decisions
-- Risk mitigation strategies
-
----
-
-## Using RPG with Task Master
-
-### Step 1: Create PRD with RPG Template
-
-Use a code-context-aware tool to fill out the template:
-
-```bash
-# In Claude Code, Cursor, or similar
-"Create a PRD using @.taskmaster/templates/example_prd_rpg.txt for [your project]"
-```
-
-**Why code context matters:** The AI needs to understand your existing codebase to make informed decisions about:
-- Module boundaries
-- Dependency relationships
-- Integration points
-- Naming conventions
-
-**Recommended tools:**
-- Claude Code (claude-code CLI)
-- Cursor/Windsurf
-- Gemini CLI (large contexts)
-- Codex/Grok CLI
-
-### Step 2: Parse PRD into Tasks
-
-```bash
-task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/your-prd.txt --research
-```
-
-Task Master will:
-1. Extract capabilities → Main tasks
-2. Extract features → Subtasks
-3. Parse dependencies → Task dependencies
-4. Order by phases → Task priorities
-
-**Result:** A dependency-aware task graph ready for topological execution.
-
-### Step 3: Analyze Complexity
-
-```bash
-task-master analyze-complexity --research
-```
-
-Review the complexity report to identify tasks that need expansion and determine optimal subtask counts.
-
-### Step 4: Expand Tasks
-
-```bash
-task-master expand --all --research
-```
-
-Break down complex tasks into manageable subtasks while preserving dependency chains. The expand operation automatically uses the complexity analysis recommendations to determine the appropriate number of subtasks for each task based on its complexity level.

-## RPG vs Standard Template
-
-| Aspect | Standard Template | RPG Template |
-|--------|------------------|--------------|
-| **Best for** | Simple features | Complex systems |
-| **Dependency handling** | Implicit | Explicit graph |
-| **Structure guidance** | Minimal | Step-by-step |
-| **Examples** | Few | Inline good/bad examples |
-| **Module boundaries** | Vague | Precise mapping |
-| **Task ordering** | Manual | Automatic (topological) |
-| **Learning curve** | Low | Medium |
-| **Resulting task quality** | Good | Excellent |
-
----
-
-## Tips for Best Results
-
-### 1. Spend Time on Dependencies
-The dependency graph section is the most valuable. List all dependencies explicitly, even if they seem obvious.
-
-### 2. Keep Features Atomic
-Each feature should be independently testable. If a feature description is vague ("handle data"), break it into specific features.
-
-### 3. Progressive Refinement
-Don't try to get everything perfect on the first pass:
-1. Fill out high-level sections
-2. Review and refine
-3. Add detail where needed
-4. Let `task-master expand` break down complex tasks further
-
-### 4. Use Research Mode
-```bash
-task-master parse-prd --research
-```
-The `--research` flag leverages AI to enhance task generation with domain knowledge.
-
-### 5. Validate Early
-```bash
-task-master validate-dependencies
-```
-Check for circular dependencies or orphaned modules before starting implementation.
-
----
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-### ❌ Mixing Functional and Structural
-```
-Bad: "Capability: validation.js"
-Good: "Capability: Data Validation" → maps to "src/validation/"
-```
-
-### ❌ Vague Module Boundaries
-```
-Bad: "Module: utils"
-Good: "Module: string-utilities" with clear exports
-```
-
-### ❌ Implicit Dependencies
-```
-Bad: "Module: API handlers (needs validation)"
-Good: "Module: API handlers, Depends on: [validation, error-handling]"
-```
-
-### ❌ Skipping Test Strategy
-Without test strategy, the AI won't know what to test during implementation.
-
----
-
-## Example Workflow
-
-1. **Discuss idea with AI**: Explain your project concept
-2. **Reference RPG template**: Show AI the `example_prd_rpg.txt`
-3. **Co-create PRD**: Work through each section with AI guidance
-4. **Save to docs**: Place in `.taskmaster/docs/your-project.txt`
-5. **Parse PRD**: `task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/your-project.txt --research`
-6. **Analyze**: `task-master analyze-complexity --research`
-7. **Expand**: `task-master expand --all --research`
-8. **Start work**: `task-master next`

-# 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.

-<overview>
-<instruction>
-Start with the problem, not the solution. Be specific about:
-- What pain point exists?
-- Who experiences it?
-- Why existing solutions don't work?
-- What success looks like (measurable outcomes)?
-
-Keep this section focused - don't jump into implementation details yet.
-</instruction>
-
-## Problem Statement
-[Describe the core problem. Be concrete about user pain points.]
-
-## Target Users
-[Define personas, their workflows, and what they're trying to achieve.]
-
-## Success Metrics
-[Quantifiable outcomes. Examples: "80% task completion via autopilot", "< 5% manual intervention rate"]

----
-
-<functional-decomposition>
-<instruction>
-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
-  Feature: Make sure data is good
-  (Problem: Too vague. No inputs/outputs. Not actionable.)

----
-
-<structural-decomposition>
-<instruction>
-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).
-
-<example type="good">
-Capability: Data Validation
-  → Maps to: src/validation/
-    ├── schema-validator.js      (Schema validation feature)
-    ├── rule-validator.js         (Business rule validation feature)
-    └── index.js                  (Public exports)
-
-Exports:
-  - validateSchema(data, schema)
-  - validateRules(data, rules)
-</example>
-
-<example type="bad">
-Capability: Data Validation
-  → Maps to: src/utils.js
-  (Problem: "utils" is not a clear module boundary. Where do I find validation logic?)
-
-Capability: Data Validation
-  → Maps to: src/validation/everything.js
-  (Problem: One giant file. Features should map to separate files for maintainability.)
-</example>
-</instruction>
-
-## Repository Structure
-
-```
-project-root/

-<dependency-graph>
-<instruction>
-This is THE CRITICAL SECTION for Task Master parsing.
-
-Define explicit dependencies between modules. This creates the topological order for task execution.
-
-Rules:
-1. List modules in dependency order (foundation first)
-2. For each module, state what it depends on
-3. Foundation modules should have NO dependencies
-4. Every non-foundation module should depend on at least one other module
-5. Think: "What must EXIST before I can build this module?"

-# 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
