+- Added automatic codebase analysis for Claude Code provider in `parse-prd`, `expand-task`, and `analyze-complexity` commands
+- When using Claude Code as the AI provider, Task Master now instructs the AI to analyze the project structure, existing implementations, and patterns before generating tasks or subtasks
+- Tasks and subtasks generated by Claude Code are now informed by actual codebase analysis, resulting in more accurate and contextual outputs

+# Test Workflow & Development Process
+
+## **Initial Testing Framework Setup**
+
+Before implementing the TDD workflow, ensure your project has a proper testing framework configured. This section covers setup for different technology stacks.
+
+### **Detecting Project Type & Framework Needs**
+
+**AI Agent Assessment Checklist:**
+1. **Language Detection**: Check for `package.json` (Node.js/JavaScript), `requirements.txt` (Python), `Cargo.toml` (Rust), etc.
+2. **Existing Tests**: Look for test files (`.test.`, `.spec.`, `_test.`) or test directories
+3. **Framework Detection**: Check for existing test runners in dependencies
+4. **Project Structure**: Analyze directory structure for testing patterns
+
+### **JavaScript/Node.js Projects (Jest Setup)**
+
+#### **Prerequisites Check**
+```bash
+# Verify Node.js project
+ls package.json  # Should exist
+
+# Check for existing testing setup
+ls jest.config.js jest.config.ts  # Check for Jest config
+grep -E "(jest|vitest|mocha)" package.json  # Check for test runners
+```
+
+#### **Jest Installation & Configuration**
+
+**Step 1: Install Dependencies**
+```bash
+# Core Jest dependencies
+npm install --save-dev jest
+
+# TypeScript support (if using TypeScript)
+npm install --save-dev ts-jest @types/jest
+
+# Additional useful packages
+npm install --save-dev supertest @types/supertest  # For API testing
+npm install --save-dev jest-watch-typeahead  # Enhanced watch mode
+```
+
+**Step 2: Create Jest Configuration**
+
+Create `jest.config.js` with the following production-ready configuration:
+
+```javascript
+/** @type {import('jest').Config} */
+module.exports = {
+  // Use ts-jest preset for TypeScript support
+  preset: 'ts-jest',
+
+  // Test environment
+  testEnvironment: 'node',
+
+  // Roots for test discovery
+  roots: ['<rootDir>/src', '<rootDir>/tests'],
+
+  // Test file patterns
+  testMatch: ['**/__tests__/**/*.ts', '**/?(*.)+(spec|test).ts'],
+
+  // Transform files
+  transform: {
+    '^.+\\.ts$': [
+      'ts-jest',
+      {
+        tsconfig: {
+          target: 'es2020',
+          module: 'commonjs',
+          esModuleInterop: true,
+          allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true,
+          skipLibCheck: true,
+          strict: false,
+          noImplicitAny: false,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+    '^.+\\.js$': [
+      'ts-jest',
+      {
+        useESM: false,
+        tsconfig: {
+          target: 'es2020',
+          module: 'commonjs',
+          esModuleInterop: true,
+          allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true,
+          allowJs: true,
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+
+  // Module file extensions
+  moduleFileExtensions: ['ts', 'tsx', 'js', 'jsx', 'json', 'node'],
+
+  // Transform ignore patterns - adjust for ES modules
+  transformIgnorePatterns: ['node_modules/(?!(your-es-module-deps|.*\\.mjs$))'],
+
+  // Coverage configuration
+  collectCoverage: true,
+  coverageDirectory: 'coverage',
+  coverageReporters: [
+    'text', // Console output
+    'text-summary', // Brief summary
+    'lcov', // For IDE integration
+    'html', // Detailed HTML report
+  ],

+  // Files to collect coverage from
+  collectCoverageFrom: [

+    '!src/config/database.ts', // Database config (tested via integration)
+  ],
+
+  // Coverage thresholds - TaskMaster standards
+  coverageThreshold: {
+    global: {
+      branches: 70,
+      functions: 80,
+      lines: 80,
+      statements: 80,

+    },
+  },
+
+  // Setup files
+  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/tests/setup.ts'],
+
+  // Global teardown to prevent worker process leaks
+  globalTeardown: '<rootDir>/tests/teardown.ts',

+        },
+      },
+    },
+    // Integration tests - real database/services
+    {
+      displayName: 'integration',
+      testMatch: [
+        '<rootDir>/src/**/*.integration.test.ts',
+        '<rootDir>/tests/integration/**/*.test.ts',
+      ],
+      preset: 'ts-jest',

+      setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/tests/setup/integration.ts'],
+      testTimeout: 10000,
+    },
+    // E2E tests - full workflows
+    {
+      displayName: 'e2e',
+      testMatch: ['<rootDir>/tests/e2e/**/*.test.ts'],
+      preset: 'ts-jest',
+      testEnvironment: 'node',
+      setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/tests/setup/e2e.ts'],
+      testTimeout: 30000,
+    },
+  ],
+
+  // Verbose output for better debugging
+  verbose: true,
+
+  // Run projects sequentially to avoid conflicts
+  maxWorkers: 1,
+
+  // Enable watch mode plugins
+  watchPlugins: ['jest-watch-typeahead/filename', 'jest-watch-typeahead/testname'],
+};
+```
+
+**Step 3: Update package.json Scripts**
+
+Add these scripts to your `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test": "jest",
+    "test:watch": "jest --watch",
+    "test:coverage": "jest --coverage",
+    "test:unit": "jest --selectProjects unit",
+    "test:integration": "jest --selectProjects integration", 
+    "test:e2e": "jest --selectProjects e2e",
+    "test:ci": "jest --ci --coverage --watchAll=false"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 4: Create Test Setup Files**
+
+Create essential test setup files:
+
+```typescript
+// tests/setup.ts - Global setup
+import { jest } from '@jest/globals';
+
+// Global test configuration
+beforeAll(() => {
+  // Set test timeout
+  jest.setTimeout(10000);
+});
+
+afterEach(() => {
+  // Clean up mocks after each test
+  jest.clearAllMocks();
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// tests/setup/integration.ts - Integration test setup
+import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
+
+const prisma = new PrismaClient();
+
+beforeAll(async () => {
+  // Connect to test database
+  await prisma.$connect();
+});
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  // Cleanup and disconnect
+  await prisma.$disconnect();
+});
+
+beforeEach(async () => {
+  // Clean test data before each test
+  // Add your cleanup logic here
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// tests/teardown.ts - Global teardown
+export default async () => {
+  // Global cleanup after all tests
+  console.log('Global test teardown complete');
+};
+```
+
+**Step 5: Create Initial Test Structure**
+
+```bash
+# Create test directories
+mkdir -p tests/{setup,fixtures,unit,integration,e2e}
+mkdir -p tests/unit/src/{utils,services,middleware}
+
+# Create sample test fixtures
+mkdir tests/fixtures
+```
+
+### **Generic Testing Framework Setup (Any Language)**
+
+#### **Framework Selection Guide**
+
+**Python Projects:**
+- **pytest**: Recommended for most Python projects
+- **unittest**: Built-in, suitable for simple projects
+- **Coverage**: Use `coverage.py` for code coverage
+
+```bash
+# Python setup example
+pip install pytest pytest-cov
+echo "[tool:pytest]" > pytest.ini
+echo "testpaths = tests" >> pytest.ini
+echo "addopts = --cov=src --cov-report=html --cov-report=term" >> pytest.ini
+```
+
+**Go Projects:**
+- **Built-in testing**: Use Go's built-in `testing` package
+- **Coverage**: Built-in with `go test -cover`
+
+```bash
+# Go setup example
+go mod init your-project
+mkdir -p tests
+# Tests are typically *_test.go files alongside source
+```
+
+**Rust Projects:**
+- **Built-in testing**: Use Rust's built-in test framework
+- **cargo-tarpaulin**: For coverage analysis
+
+```bash
+# Rust setup example
+cargo new your-project
+cd your-project
+cargo install cargo-tarpaulin  # For coverage
+```
+
+**Java Projects:**
+- **JUnit 5**: Modern testing framework
+- **Maven/Gradle**: Build tools with testing integration
+
+```xml
+<!-- Maven pom.xml example -->
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
+    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
+    <version>5.9.2</version>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+#### **Universal Testing Principles**
+
+**Coverage Standards (Adapt to Your Language):**
+- **Global Minimum**: 70-80% line coverage
+- **Critical Code**: 85-90% coverage
+- **New Features**: Must meet or exceed standards
+- **Legacy Code**: Gradual improvement strategy
+
+**Test Organization:**
+- **Unit Tests**: Fast, isolated, no external dependencies
+- **Integration Tests**: Test component interactions
+- **E2E Tests**: Test complete user workflows
+- **Performance Tests**: Load and stress testing (if applicable)
+
+**Naming Conventions:**
+- **Test Files**: `*.test.*`, `*_test.*`, or language-specific patterns
+- **Test Functions**: Descriptive names (e.g., `should_return_error_for_invalid_input`)
+- **Test Directories**: Organized by test type and mirroring source structure
+
+#### **TaskMaster Integration for Any Framework**
+
+**Document Testing Setup in Subtasks:**
+```bash
+# Update subtask with testing framework setup
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing framework setup:
+- Installed [Framework Name] with coverage support
+- Configured [Coverage Tool] with thresholds: 80% lines, 70% branches
+- Created test directory structure: unit/, integration/, e2e/
+- Added test scripts to build configuration
+- All setup tests passing"
+```
+
+**Testing Framework Verification:**
+```bash
+# Verify setup works
+[test-command]  # e.g., npm test, pytest, go test, cargo test
+
+# Check coverage reporting
+[coverage-command]  # e.g., npm run test:coverage
+
+# Update task with verification
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing framework verified:
+- Sample tests running successfully
+- Coverage reporting functional
+- CI/CD integration ready
+- Ready to begin TDD workflow"
+```
+
+## **Test-Driven Development (TDD) Integration**
+
+### **Core TDD Cycle with Jest**
+```bash
+# 1. Start development with watch mode
+npm run test:watch
+
+# 2. Write failing test first
+# Create test file: src/utils/newFeature.test.ts
+# Write test that describes expected behavior
+
+# 3. Implement minimum code to make test pass
+# 4. Refactor while keeping tests green
+# 5. Add edge cases and error scenarios
+```
+
+### **TDD Workflow Per Subtask**
+```bash
+# When starting a new subtask:
+task-master set-status --id=4.1 --status=in-progress
+
+# Begin TDD cycle:
+npm run test:watch  # Keep running during development
+
+# Document TDD progress in subtask:
+task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="TDD Progress:
+- Written 3 failing tests for core functionality
+- Implemented basic feature, tests now passing
+- Adding edge case tests for error handling"
+
+# Complete subtask with test summary:
+task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="Implementation complete:
+- Feature implemented with 8 unit tests
+- Coverage: 95% statements, 88% branches  
+- All tests passing, TDD cycle complete"
+```
+
+## **Testing Commands & Usage**
+
+### **Development Commands**
+```bash
+# Primary development command - use during coding
+npm run test:watch              # Watch mode with Jest
+npm run test:watch -- --testNamePattern="auth"  # Watch specific tests
+
+# Targeted testing during development
+npm run test:unit               # Run only unit tests
+npm run test:unit -- --coverage # Unit tests with coverage
+
+# Integration testing when APIs are ready
+npm run test:integration        # Run integration tests
+npm run test:integration -- --detectOpenHandles  # Debug hanging tests
+
+# End-to-end testing for workflows
+npm run test:e2e               # Run E2E tests
+npm run test:e2e -- --timeout=30000  # Extended timeout for E2E
+```
+
+### **Quality Assurance Commands**
+```bash
+# Full test suite with coverage (before commits)
+npm run test:coverage          # Complete coverage analysis
+
+# All tests (CI/CD pipeline)
+npm test                       # Run all test projects
+
+# Specific test file execution
+npm test -- auth.test.ts       # Run specific test file
+npm test -- --testNamePattern="should handle errors"  # Run specific tests
+```
+
+## **Test Implementation Patterns**
+
+### **Unit Test Development**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Follow established patterns from auth.test.ts
+describe('FeatureName', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    jest.clearAllMocks();
+    // Setup mocks with proper typing
+  });
+
+  describe('functionName', () => {
+    it('should handle normal case', () => {
+      // Test implementation with specific assertions
+    });
+    
+    it('should throw error for invalid input', async () => {
+      // Error scenario testing
+      await expect(functionName(invalidInput))
+        .rejects.toThrow('Specific error message');
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### **Integration Test Development**  
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use supertest for API endpoint testing
+import request from 'supertest';
+import { app } from '../../src/app';
+
+describe('POST /api/auth/register', () => {
+  beforeEach(async () => {
+    await integrationTestUtils.cleanupTestData();
+  });
+  
+  it('should register user successfully', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser();
+    
+    const response = await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/register')
+      .send(userData)
+      .expect(201);
+      
+    expect(response.body).toMatchObject({
+      id: expect.any(String),
+      email: userData.email
+    });
+    
+    // Verify database state
+    const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
+      where: { email: userData.email }
+    });
+    expect(user).toBeTruthy();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### **E2E Test Development**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Test complete user workflows
+describe('User Authentication Flow', () => {
+  it('should complete registration → login → protected access', async () => {
+    // Step 1: Register
+    const userData = createTestUser();
+    await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/register')
+      .send(userData)
+      .expect(201);
+    
+    // Step 2: Login
+    const loginResponse = await request(app)
+      .post('/api/auth/login')
+      .send({ email: userData.email, password: userData.password })
+      .expect(200);
+    
+    const { token } = loginResponse.body;
+    
+    // Step 3: Access protected resource
+    await request(app)
+      .get('/api/profile')
+      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
+      .expect(200);
+  }, 30000); // Extended timeout for E2E
+});
+```
+
+## **Mocking & Test Utilities**
+
+### **Established Mocking Patterns**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use established bcrypt mocking pattern
+jest.mock('bcrypt');
+import bcrypt from 'bcrypt';
+const mockHash = bcrypt.hash as jest.MockedFunction<typeof bcrypt.hash>;
+const mockCompare = bcrypt.compare as jest.MockedFunction<typeof bcrypt.compare>;
+
+// ✅ DO: Use Prisma mocking for unit tests
+jest.mock('@prisma/client', () => ({
+  PrismaClient: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
+    user: {
+      create: jest.fn(),
+      findUnique: jest.fn(),
+    },
+    $connect: jest.fn(),
+    $disconnect: jest.fn(),
+  })),
+}));
+```
+
+### **Test Fixtures Usage**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use centralized test fixtures
+import { createTestUser, adminUser, invalidUser } from '../fixtures/users';
+
+describe('User Service', () => {
+  it('should handle admin user creation', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser(adminUser);
+    // Test implementation
+  });
+  
+  it('should reject invalid user data', async () => {
+    const userData = createTestUser(invalidUser);
+    // Error testing
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## **Coverage Standards & Monitoring**
+
+### **Coverage Thresholds**
+- **Global Standards**: 80% lines/functions, 70% branches
+- **Critical Code**: 90% utils, 85% middleware
+- **New Features**: Must meet or exceed global thresholds
+- **Legacy Code**: Gradual improvement with each change
+
+### **Coverage Reporting & Analysis**
+```bash
+# Generate coverage reports
+npm run test:coverage
+
+# View detailed HTML report
+open coverage/lcov-report/index.html
+
+# Coverage files generated:
+# - coverage/lcov-report/index.html  # Detailed HTML report
+# - coverage/lcov.info               # LCOV format for IDE integration  
+# - coverage/coverage-final.json     # JSON format for tooling
+```
+
+### **Coverage Quality Checks**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Test all code paths
+describe('validateInput', () => {
+  it('should return true for valid input', () => {
+    expect(validateInput('valid')).toBe(true);
+  });
+  
+  it('should return false for various invalid inputs', () => {
+    expect(validateInput('')).toBe(false);      // Empty string
+    expect(validateInput(null)).toBe(false);    // Null value
+    expect(validateInput(undefined)).toBe(false); // Undefined
+  });
+  
+  it('should throw for unexpected input types', () => {
+    expect(() => validateInput(123)).toThrow('Invalid input type');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## **Testing During Development Phases**
+
+### **Feature Development Phase**
+```bash
+# 1. Start feature development
+task-master set-status --id=X.Y --status=in-progress
+
+# 2. Begin TDD cycle  
+npm run test:watch
+
+# 3. Document test progress in subtask
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Test development:
+- Created test file with 5 failing tests
+- Implemented core functionality
+- Tests passing, adding error scenarios"
+
+# 4. Verify coverage before completion
+npm run test:coverage
+
+# 5. Update subtask with final test status
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Testing complete:
+- 12 unit tests with full coverage
+- All edge cases and error scenarios covered
+- Ready for integration testing"
+```
+
+### **Integration Testing Phase**
+```bash
+# After API endpoints are implemented
+npm run test:integration
+
+# Update integration test templates
+# Replace placeholder tests with real endpoint calls
+
+# Document integration test results
+task-master update-subtask --id=X.Y --prompt="Integration tests:
+- Updated auth endpoint tests  
+- Database integration verified
+- All HTTP status codes and responses tested"
+```
+
+### **Pre-Commit Testing Phase**
+```bash
+# Before committing code
+npm run test:coverage         # Verify all tests pass with coverage
+npm run test:unit            # Quick unit test verification

+
+## **Error Handling & Debugging**
+
+### **Test Debugging Techniques**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO: Use test utilities for debugging
+import { testUtils } from '../setup';
+
+it('should debug complex operation', () => {
+  testUtils.withConsole(() => {
+    // Console output visible only for this test
+    console.log('Debug info:', complexData);
+    service.complexOperation();
+  });
+});
+
+// ✅ DO: Use proper async debugging
+it('should handle async operations', async () => {
+  const promise = service.asyncOperation();
+  
+  // Test intermediate state
+  expect(service.isProcessing()).toBe(true);
+  
+  const result = await promise;
+  expect(result).toBe('expected');
+  expect(service.isProcessing()).toBe(false);
+});
+```
+
+### **Common Test Issues & Solutions**
+```bash
+# Hanging tests (common with database connections)
+npm run test:integration -- --detectOpenHandles
+
+# Memory leaks in tests
+npm run test:unit -- --logHeapUsage
+
+# Slow tests identification
+npm run test:coverage -- --verbose
+
+# Mock not working properly
+# Check: mock is declared before imports
+# Check: jest.clearAllMocks() in beforeEach
+# Check: TypeScript typing is correct
+```
+
+## **Continuous Integration Integration**
+
+### **CI/CD Pipeline Testing**
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions integration
+- name: Run tests
+  run: |
+    npm ci
+    npm run test:coverage
+    
+- name: Upload coverage reports
+  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
+  with:
+    file: ./coverage/lcov.info
+```
+
+### **Pre-commit Hooks**
+```bash
+# Setup pre-commit testing (recommended)
+# In package.json scripts:
+"pre-commit": "npm run test:unit && npm run test:integration"
+
+# Husky integration example:
+npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "npm run test:unit"
+```
+
+## **Test Maintenance & Evolution**
+
+### **Adding Tests for New Features**
+1. **Create test file** alongside source code or in `tests/unit/`
+2. **Follow established patterns** from `src/utils/auth.test.ts`
+3. **Use existing fixtures** from `tests/fixtures/`
+4. **Apply proper mocking** patterns for dependencies
+5. **Meet coverage thresholds** for the module
+
+### **Updating Integration/E2E Tests**
+1. **Update templates** in `tests/integration/` when APIs change
+2. **Modify E2E workflows** in `tests/e2e/` for new user journeys  
+3. **Update test fixtures** for new data requirements
+4. **Maintain database cleanup** utilities
+
+### **Test Performance Optimization**
+- **Parallel execution**: Jest runs tests in parallel by default
+- **Test isolation**: Use proper setup/teardown for independence
+- **Mock optimization**: Mock heavy dependencies appropriately  
+- **Database efficiency**: Use transaction rollbacks where possible

+# Taskmaster Development Workflow
+
+This guide outlines the standard process for using Taskmaster to manage software development projects. It is written as a set of instructions for you, the AI agent.
+
+- **Your Default Stance**: For most projects, the user can work directly within the `master` task context. Your initial actions should operate on this default context unless a clear pattern for multi-context work emerges.
+- **Your Goal**: Your role is to elevate the user's workflow by intelligently introducing advanced features like **Tagged Task Lists** when you detect the appropriate context. Do not force tags on the user; suggest them as a helpful solution to a specific need.
+
+## The Basic Loop
+The fundamental development cycle you will facilitate is:
+1.  **`list`**: Show the user what needs to be done.
+2.  **`next`**: Help the user decide what to work on.
+3.  **`show <id>`**: Provide details for a specific task.
+4.  **`expand <id>`**: Break down a complex task into smaller, manageable subtasks.
+5.  **Implement**: The user writes the code and tests.
+6.  **`update-subtask`**: Log progress and findings on behalf of the user.
+7.  **`set-status`**: Mark tasks and subtasks as `done` as work is completed.
+8.  **Repeat**.
+
+All your standard command executions should operate on the user's current task context, which defaults to `master`.
+
+---
+
+## Standard Development Workflow Process
+
+### Simple Workflow (Default Starting Point)
+
+For new projects or when users are getting started, operate within the `master` tag context:
+
+-   Start new projects by running `initialize_project` tool / `task-master init` or `parse_prd` / `task-master parse-prd --input='<prd-file.txt>'` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to generate initial tasks.json with tagged structure
+-   Configure rule sets during initialization with `--rules` flag (e.g., `task-master init --rules kiro,windsurf`) or manage them later with `task-master rules add/remove` commands  
+-   Begin coding sessions with `get_tasks` / `task-master list` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to see current tasks, status, and IDs
+-   Determine the next task to work on using `next_task` / `task-master next` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
+-   Analyze task complexity with `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) before breaking down tasks
+-   Review complexity report using `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
+-   Select tasks based on dependencies (all marked 'done'), priority level, and ID order
+-   View specific task details using `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to understand implementation requirements
+-   Break down complex tasks using `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id> --force --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) with appropriate flags like `--force` (to replace existing subtasks) and `--research`
+-   Implement code following task details, dependencies, and project standards
+-   Mark completed tasks with `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
+-   Update dependent tasks when implementation differs from original plan using `update` / `task-master update --from=<id> --prompt="..."` or `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<id> --prompt="..."` (see @`taskmaster.md`)
+
+---
+
+## Leveling Up: Agent-Led Multi-Context Workflows
+
+While the basic workflow is powerful, your primary opportunity to add value is by identifying when to introduce **Tagged Task Lists**. These patterns are your tools for creating a more organized and efficient development environment for the user, especially if you detect agentic or parallel development happening across the same session.
+
+**Critical Principle**: Most users should never see a difference in their experience. Only introduce advanced workflows when you detect clear indicators that the project has evolved beyond simple task management.
+
+### When to Introduce Tags: Your Decision Patterns
+
+Here are the patterns to look for. When you detect one, you should propose the corresponding workflow to the user.
+
+#### Pattern 1: Simple Git Feature Branching
+This is the most common and direct use case for tags.
+
+- **Trigger**: The user creates a new git branch (e.g., `git checkout -b feature/user-auth`).
+- **Your Action**: Propose creating a new tag that mirrors the branch name to isolate the feature's tasks from `master`.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"I see you've created a new branch named 'feature/user-auth'. To keep all related tasks neatly organized and separate from your main list, I can create a corresponding task tag for you. This helps prevent merge conflicts in your `tasks.json` file later. Shall I create the 'feature-user-auth' tag?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag --from-branch`
+
+#### Pattern 2: Team Collaboration
+- **Trigger**: The user mentions working with teammates (e.g., "My teammate Alice is handling the database schema," or "I need to review Bob's work on the API.").
+- **Your Action**: Suggest creating a separate tag for the user's work to prevent conflicts with shared master context.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"Since you're working with Alice, I can create a separate task context for your work to avoid conflicts. This way, Alice can continue working with the master list while you have your own isolated context. When you're ready to merge your work, we can coordinate the tasks back to master. Shall I create a tag for your current work?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag my-work --copy-from-current --description="My tasks while collaborating with Alice"`
+
+#### Pattern 3: Experiments or Risky Refactors
+- **Trigger**: The user wants to try something that might not be kept (e.g., "I want to experiment with switching our state management library," or "Let's refactor the old API module, but I want to keep the current tasks as a reference.").
+- **Your Action**: Propose creating a sandboxed tag for the experimental work.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a great experiment. To keep these new tasks separate from our main plan, I can create a temporary 'experiment-zustand' tag for this work. If we decide not to proceed, we can simply delete the tag without affecting the main task list. Sound good?"*
+- **Tool to Use**: `task-master add-tag experiment-zustand --description="Exploring Zustand migration"`
+
+#### Pattern 4: Large Feature Initiatives (PRD-Driven)
+This is a more structured approach for significant new features or epics.
+
+- **Trigger**: The user describes a large, multi-step feature that would benefit from a formal plan.
+- **Your Action**: Propose a comprehensive, PRD-driven workflow.
+- **Your Suggested Prompt**: *"This sounds like a significant new feature. To manage this effectively, I suggest we create a dedicated task context for it. Here's the plan: I'll create a new tag called 'feature-xyz', then we can draft a Product Requirements Document (PRD) together to scope the work. Once the PRD is ready, I'll automatically generate all the necessary tasks within that new tag. How does that sound?"*
+- **Your Implementation Flow**:
+    1.  **Create an empty tag**: `task-master add-tag feature-xyz --description "Tasks for the new XYZ feature"`. You can also start by creating a git branch if applicable, and then create the tag from that branch.
+    2.  **Collaborate & Create PRD**: Work with the user to create a detailed PRD file (e.g., `.taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt`).
+    3.  **Parse PRD into the new tag**: `task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-xyz-prd.txt --tag feature-xyz`
+    4.  **Prepare the new task list**: Follow up by suggesting `analyze-complexity` and `expand-all` for the newly created tasks within the `feature-xyz` tag.
+
+#### Pattern 5: Version-Based Development
+Tailor your approach based on the project maturity indicated by tag names.
+
+- **Prototype/MVP Tags** (`prototype`, `mvp`, `poc`, `v0.x`):
+  - **Your Approach**: Focus on speed and functionality over perfection
+  - **Task Generation**: Create tasks that emphasize "get it working" over "get it perfect"
+  - **Complexity Level**: Lower complexity, fewer subtasks, more direct implementation paths
+  - **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is a prototype - prioritize speed and basic functionality over optimization"
+  - **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for the MVP, I'll focus on tasks that get core functionality working quickly rather than over-engineering."*
+
+- **Production/Mature Tags** (`v1.0+`, `production`, `stable`):
+  - **Your Approach**: Emphasize robustness, testing, and maintainability
+  - **Task Generation**: Include comprehensive error handling, testing, documentation, and optimization
+  - **Complexity Level**: Higher complexity, more detailed subtasks, thorough implementation paths
+  - **Research Prompts**: Include context like "This is for production - prioritize reliability, performance, and maintainability"
+  - **Example Prompt Addition**: *"Since this is for production, I'll ensure tasks include proper error handling, testing, and documentation."*
+
+### Advanced Workflow (Tag-Based & PRD-Driven)
+
+**When to Transition**: Recognize when the project has evolved (or has initiated a project which existing code) beyond simple task management. Look for these indicators:
+- User mentions teammates or collaboration needs
+- Project has grown to 15+ tasks with mixed priorities
+- User creates feature branches or mentions major initiatives
+- User initializes Taskmaster on an existing, complex codebase
+- User describes large features that would benefit from dedicated planning
+
+**Your Role in Transition**: Guide the user to a more sophisticated workflow that leverages tags for organization and PRDs for comprehensive planning.
+
+#### Master List Strategy (High-Value Focus)
+Once you transition to tag-based workflows, the `master` tag should ideally contain only:
+- **High-level deliverables** that provide significant business value
+- **Major milestones** and epic-level features
+- **Critical infrastructure** work that affects the entire project
+- **Release-blocking** items
+
+**What NOT to put in master**:
+- Detailed implementation subtasks (these go in feature-specific tags' parent tasks)
+- Refactoring work (create dedicated tags like `refactor-auth`)
+- Experimental features (use `experiment-*` tags)
+- Team member-specific tasks (use person-specific tags)
+
+#### PRD-Driven Feature Development
+
+**For New Major Features**:
+1. **Identify the Initiative**: When user describes a significant feature
+2. **Create Dedicated Tag**: `add_tag feature-[name] --description="[Feature description]"`
+3. **Collaborative PRD Creation**: Work with user to create comprehensive PRD in `.taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt`
+4. **Parse & Prepare**: 
+   - `parse_prd .taskmaster/docs/feature-[name]-prd.txt --tag=feature-[name]`
+   - `analyze_project_complexity --tag=feature-[name] --research`
+   - `expand_all --tag=feature-[name] --research`
+5. **Add Master Reference**: Create a high-level task in `master` that references the feature tag
+
+**For Existing Codebase Analysis**:
+When users initialize Taskmaster on existing projects:
+1. **Codebase Discovery**: Use your native tools for producing deep context about the code base. You may use `research` tool with `--tree` and `--files` to collect up to date information using the existing architecture as context.
+2. **Collaborative Assessment**: Work with user to identify improvement areas, technical debt, or new features
+3. **Strategic PRD Creation**: Co-author PRDs that include:
+   - Current state analysis (based on your codebase research)
+   - Proposed improvements or new features
+   - Implementation strategy considering existing code
+4. **Tag-Based Organization**: Parse PRDs into appropriate tags (`refactor-api`, `feature-dashboard`, `tech-debt`, etc.)
+5. **Master List Curation**: Keep only the most valuable initiatives in master
+
+The parse-prd's `--append` flag enables the user to parse multiple PRDs within tags or across tags. PRDs should be focused and the number of tasks they are parsed into should be strategically chosen relative to the PRD's complexity and level of detail.
+
+### Workflow Transition Examples
+
+**Example 1: Simple → Team-Based**
+```
+User: "Alice is going to help with the API work"
+Your Response: "Great! To avoid conflicts, I'll create a separate task context for your work. Alice can continue with the master list while you work in your own context. When you're ready to merge, we can coordinate the tasks back together."
+Action: add_tag my-api-work --copy-from-current --description="My API tasks while collaborating with Alice"
+```
+
+**Example 2: Simple → PRD-Driven**
+```
+User: "I want to add a complete user dashboard with analytics, user management, and reporting"
+Your Response: "This sounds like a major feature that would benefit from detailed planning. Let me create a dedicated context for this work and we can draft a PRD together to ensure we capture all requirements."
+Actions: 
+1. add_tag feature-dashboard --description="User dashboard with analytics and management"
+2. Collaborate on PRD creation
+3. parse_prd dashboard-prd.txt --tag=feature-dashboard
+4. Add high-level "User Dashboard" task to master
+```
+
+**Example 3: Existing Project → Strategic Planning**
+```
+User: "I just initialized Taskmaster on my existing React app. It's getting messy and I want to improve it."
+Your Response: "Let me research your codebase to understand the current architecture, then we can create a strategic plan for improvements."
+Actions:
+1. research "Current React app architecture and improvement opportunities" --tree --files=src/
+2. Collaborate on improvement PRD based on findings
+3. Create tags for different improvement areas (refactor-components, improve-state-management, etc.)
+4. Keep only major improvement initiatives in master
+```
+

+
+## Primary Interaction: MCP Server vs. CLI
+
+Taskmaster offers two primary ways to interact:
+
+1.  **MCP Server (Recommended for Integrated Tools)**:
+    - For AI agents and integrated development environments (like Kiro), interacting via the **MCP server is the preferred method**.
+    - The MCP server exposes Taskmaster functionality through a set of tools (e.g., `get_tasks`, `add_subtask`).
+    - This method offers better performance, structured data exchange, and richer error handling compared to CLI parsing.
+    - Refer to @`mcp.md` for details on the MCP architecture and available tools.
+    - A comprehensive list and description of MCP tools and their corresponding CLI commands can be found in @`taskmaster.md`.
+    - **Restart the MCP server** if core logic in `scripts/modules` or MCP tool/direct function definitions change.
+    - **Note**: MCP tools fully support tagged task lists with complete tag management capabilities.
+
+2.  **`task-master` CLI (For Users & Fallback)**:
+    - The global `task-master` command provides a user-friendly interface for direct terminal interaction.
+    - It can also serve as a fallback if the MCP server is inaccessible or a specific function isn't exposed via MCP.
+    - Install globally with `npm install -g task-master-ai` or use locally via `npx task-master-ai ...`.
+    - The CLI commands often mirror the MCP tools (e.g., `task-master list` corresponds to `get_tasks`).
+    - Refer to @`taskmaster.md` for a detailed command reference.
+    - **Tagged Task Lists**: CLI fully supports the new tagged system with seamless migration.
+
+## How the Tag System Works (For Your Reference)
+
+- **Data Structure**: Tasks are organized into separate contexts (tags) like "master", "feature-branch", or "v2.0".
+- **Silent Migration**: Existing projects automatically migrate to use a "master" tag with zero disruption.
+- **Context Isolation**: Tasks in different tags are completely separate. Changes in one tag do not affect any other tag.
+- **Manual Control**: The user is always in control. There is no automatic switching. You facilitate switching by using `use-tag <name>`.
+- **Full CLI & MCP Support**: All tag management commands are available through both the CLI and MCP tools for you to use. Refer to @`taskmaster.md` for a full command list.
+
+---
+
+## Task Complexity Analysis
+
+-   Run `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity --research` (see @`taskmaster.md`) for comprehensive analysis
+-   Review complexity report via `complexity_report` / `task-master complexity-report` (see @`taskmaster.md`) for a formatted, readable version.
+-   Focus on tasks with highest complexity scores (8-10) for detailed breakdown
+-   Use analysis results to determine appropriate subtask allocation
+-   Note that reports are automatically used by the `expand_task` tool/command
+
+## Task Breakdown Process
+
+-   Use `expand_task` / `task-master expand --id=<id>`. It automatically uses the complexity report if found, otherwise generates default number of subtasks.
+-   Use `--num=<number>` to specify an explicit number of subtasks, overriding defaults or complexity report recommendations.
+-   Add `--research` flag to leverage Perplexity AI for research-backed expansion.
+-   Add `--force` flag to clear existing subtasks before generating new ones (default is to append).
+-   Use `--prompt="<context>"` to provide additional context when needed.
+-   Review and adjust generated subtasks as necessary.
+-   Use `expand_all` tool or `task-master expand --all` to expand multiple pending tasks at once, respecting flags like `--force` and `--research`.
+-   If subtasks need complete replacement (regardless of the `--force` flag on `expand`), clear them first with `clear_subtasks` / `task-master clear-subtasks --id=<id>`.
+
+## Implementation Drift Handling
+
+-   When implementation differs significantly from planned approach
+-   When future tasks need modification due to current implementation choices
+-   When new dependencies or requirements emerge
+-   Use `update` / `task-master update --from=<futureTaskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update multiple future tasks.
+-   Use `update_task` / `task-master update-task --id=<taskId> --prompt='<explanation>\nUpdate context...' --research` to update a single specific task.
+
+## Task Status Management
+
+-   Use 'pending' for tasks ready to be worked on
+-   Use 'done' for completed and verified tasks
+-   Use 'deferred' for postponed tasks
+-   Add custom status values as needed for project-specific workflows
+
+## Task Structure Fields
+
+- **id**: Unique identifier for the task (Example: `1`, `1.1`)
+- **title**: Brief, descriptive title (Example: `"Initialize Repo"`)
+- **description**: Concise summary 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 prerequisite tasks (Example: `[1, 2.1]`)
+    - Dependencies are displayed with status indicators (✅ for completed, ⏱️ for pending)
+    - This helps quickly identify which prerequisite tasks are blocking work
+- **priority**: Importance level (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 (Example: `[{"id": 1, "title": "Configure OAuth", ...}]`) 
+- Refer to task structure details (previously linked to `tasks.md`).
+
+## Configuration Management (Updated)
+
+Taskmaster configuration is managed through two main mechanisms:
+
+1.  **`.taskmaster/config.json` File (Primary):**
+    *   Located in the project root directory.
+    *   Stores most configuration settings: AI model selections (main, research, fallback), parameters (max tokens, temperature), logging level, default subtasks/priority, project name, etc.
+    *   **Tagged System Settings**: Includes `global.defaultTag` (defaults to "master") and `tags` section for tag management configuration.
+    *   **Managed via `task-master models --setup` command.** Do not edit manually unless you know what you are doing.
+    *   **View/Set specific models via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.**
+    *   Created automatically when you run `task-master models --setup` for the first time or during tagged system migration.
+
+2.  **Environment Variables (`.env` / `mcp.json`):**
+    *   Used **only** for sensitive API keys and specific endpoint URLs.
+    *   Place API keys (one per provider) in a `.env` file in the project root for CLI usage.
+    *   For MCP/Kiro integration, configure these keys in the `env` section of `.kiro/mcp.json`.
+    *   Available keys/variables: See `assets/env.example` or the Configuration section in the command reference (previously linked to `taskmaster.md`).
+
+3.  **`.taskmaster/state.json` File (Tagged System State):**
+    *   Tracks current tag context and migration status.
+    *   Automatically created during tagged system migration.
+    *   Contains: `currentTag`, `lastSwitched`, `migrationNoticeShown`.
+
+**Important:** Non-API key settings (like model selections, `MAX_TOKENS`, `TASKMASTER_LOG_LEVEL`) are **no longer configured via environment variables**. Use the `task-master models` command (or `--setup` for interactive configuration) or the `models` MCP tool.
+**If AI commands FAIL in MCP** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `env` section of `.kiro/mcp.json`.
+**If AI commands FAIL in CLI** verify that the API key for the selected provider is present in the `.env` file in the root of the project.
+
+## Rules Management
+
+Taskmaster supports multiple AI coding assistant rule sets that can be configured during project initialization or managed afterward:
+
+- **Available Profiles**: Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Kiro, Roo Code, Trae, Windsurf (claude, cline, codex, kiro, roo, trae, windsurf)
+- **During Initialization**: Use `task-master init --rules kiro,windsurf` to specify which rule sets to include
+- **After Initialization**: Use `task-master rules add <profiles>` or `task-master rules remove <profiles>` to manage rule sets
+- **Interactive Setup**: Use `task-master rules setup` to launch an interactive prompt for selecting rule profiles
+- **Default Behavior**: If no `--rules` flag is specified during initialization, all available rule profiles are included
+- **Rule Structure**: Each profile creates its own directory (e.g., `.kiro/steering`, `.roo/rules`) with appropriate configuration files
+
+## Determining the Next Task
+
+- Run `next_task` / `task-master next` to show the next task to work on.
+- The command identifies tasks with all dependencies satisfied
+- Tasks are prioritized by priority level, dependency count, and ID
+- The command shows comprehensive task information including:
+    - Basic task details and description
+    - Implementation details
+    - Subtasks (if they exist)
+    - Contextual suggested actions
+- Recommended before starting any new development work
+- Respects your project's dependency structure
+- Ensures tasks are completed in the appropriate sequence
+- Provides ready-to-use commands for common task actions
+
+## Viewing Specific Task Details
+
+- Run `get_task` / `task-master show <id>` to view a specific task.
+- Use dot notation for subtasks: `task-master show 1.2` (shows subtask 2 of task 1)
+- Displays comprehensive information similar to the next command, but for a specific task
+- For parent tasks, shows all subtasks and their current status
+- For subtasks, shows parent task information and relationship
+- Provides contextual suggested actions appropriate for the specific task
+- Useful for examining task details before implementation or checking status
+
+## Managing Task Dependencies
+
+- Use `add_dependency` / `task-master add-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to add a dependency.
+- Use `remove_dependency` / `task-master remove-dependency --id=<id> --depends-on=<id>` to remove a dependency.
+- The system prevents circular dependencies and duplicate dependency entries
+- Dependencies are checked for existence before being added or removed
+- Task files are automatically regenerated after dependency changes
+- Dependencies are visualized with status indicators in task listings and files
+
+## Task Reorganization
+
+- Use `move_task` / `task-master move --from=<id> --to=<id>` to move tasks or subtasks within the hierarchy
+- This command supports several use cases:
+  - Moving a standalone task to become a subtask (e.g., `--from=5 --to=7`)
+  - Moving a subtask to become a standalone task (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7`) 
+  - Moving a subtask to a different parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=7.3`)
+  - Reordering subtasks within the same parent (e.g., `--from=5.2 --to=5.4`)
+  - Moving a task to a new, non-existent ID position (e.g., `--from=5 --to=25`)
+  - Moving multiple tasks at once using comma-separated IDs (e.g., `--from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18`)
+- The system includes validation to prevent data loss:
+  - Allows moving to non-existent IDs by creating placeholder tasks
+  - Prevents moving to existing task IDs that have content (to avoid overwriting)
+  - Validates source tasks exist before attempting to move them
+- The system maintains proper parent-child relationships and dependency integrity
+- Task files are automatically regenerated after the move operation
+- This provides greater flexibility in organizing and refining your task structure as project understanding evolves
+- This is especially useful when dealing with potential merge conflicts arising from teams creating tasks on separate branches. Solve these conflicts very easily by moving your tasks and keeping theirs.
+
+## Iterative Subtask Implementation
+
+Once a task has been broken down into subtasks using `expand_task` or similar methods, follow this iterative process for implementation:
+
+1.  **Understand the Goal (Preparation):**
+    *   Use `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` (see @`taskmaster.md`) to thoroughly understand the specific goals and requirements of the subtask.
+
+2.  **Initial Exploration & Planning (Iteration 1):**
+    *   This is the first attempt at creating a concrete implementation plan.
+    *   Explore the codebase to identify the precise files, functions, and even specific lines of code that will need modification.
+    *   Determine the intended code changes (diffs) and their locations.
+    *   Gather *all* relevant details from this exploration phase.
+
+3.  **Log the Plan:**
+    *   Run `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<detailed plan>'`.
+    *   Provide the *complete and detailed* findings from the exploration phase in the prompt. Include file paths, line numbers, proposed diffs, reasoning, and any potential challenges identified. Do not omit details. The goal is to create a rich, timestamped log within the subtask's `details`.
+
+4.  **Verify the Plan:**
+    *   Run `get_task` / `task-master show <subtaskId>` again to confirm that the detailed implementation plan has been successfully appended to the subtask's details.
+
+5.  **Begin Implementation:**
+    *   Set the subtask status using `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=in-progress`.
+    *   Start coding based on the logged plan.
+
+6.  **Refine and Log Progress (Iteration 2+):**
+    *   As implementation progresses, you will encounter challenges, discover nuances, or confirm successful approaches.
+    *   **Before appending new information**: Briefly review the *existing* details logged in the subtask (using `get_task` or recalling from context) to ensure the update adds fresh insights and avoids redundancy.
+    *   **Regularly** use `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask --id=<subtaskId> --prompt='<update details>\n- What worked...\n- What didn't work...'` to append new findings.
+    *   **Crucially, log:**
+        *   What worked ("fundamental truths" discovered).
+        *   What didn't work and why (to avoid repeating mistakes).
+        *   Specific code snippets or configurations that were successful.
+        *   Decisions made, especially if confirmed with user input.
+        *   Any deviations from the initial plan and the reasoning.
+    *   The objective is to continuously enrich the subtask's details, creating a log of the implementation journey that helps the AI (and human developers) learn, adapt, and avoid repeating errors.
+
+7.  **Review & Update Rules (Post-Implementation):**
+    *   Once the implementation for the subtask is functionally complete, review all code changes and the relevant chat history.
+    *   Identify any new or modified code patterns, conventions, or best practices established during the implementation.
+    *   Create new or update existing rules following internal guidelines (previously linked to `cursor_rules.md` and `self_improve.md`).
+
+8.  **Mark Task Complete:**
+    *   After verifying the implementation and updating any necessary rules, mark the subtask as completed: `set_task_status` / `task-master set-status --id=<subtaskId> --status=done`.
+
+9.  **Commit Changes (If using Git):**
+    *   Stage the relevant code changes and any updated/new rule files (`git add .`).
+    *   Craft a comprehensive Git commit message summarizing the work done for the subtask, including both code implementation and any rule adjustments.
+    *   Execute the commit command directly in the terminal (e.g., `git commit -m 'feat(module): Implement feature X for subtask <subtaskId>\n\n- Details about changes...\n- Updated rule Y for pattern Z'`).
+    *   Consider if a Changeset is needed according to internal versioning guidelines (previously linked to `changeset.md`). If so, run `npm run changeset`, stage the generated file, and amend the commit or create a new one.
+
+10. **Proceed to Next Subtask:**
+    *   Identify the next subtask (e.g., using `next_task` / `task-master next`).
+
+## Code Analysis & Refactoring Techniques
+
+- **Top-Level Function Search**:
+    - Useful for understanding module structure or planning refactors.
+    - Use grep/ripgrep to find exported functions/constants:
+      `rg "export (async function|function|const) \w+"` or similar patterns.
+    - Can help compare functions between files during migrations or identify potential naming conflicts.
+
+---
+*This workflow provides a general guideline. Adapt it based on your specific project needs and team practices.*

+# Taskmaster Tool & Command Reference
+
+This document provides a detailed reference for interacting with Taskmaster, covering both the recommended MCP tools, suitable for integrations like Kiro, and the corresponding `task-master` CLI commands, designed for direct user interaction or fallback.
+
+**Note:** For interacting with Taskmaster programmatically or via integrated tools, using the **MCP tools is strongly recommended** due to better performance, structured data, and error handling. The CLI commands serve as a user-friendly alternative and fallback. 
+
+**Important:** Several MCP tools involve AI processing... The AI-powered tools include `parse_prd`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `update_subtask`, `update_task`, `update`, `expand_all`, `expand_task`, and `add_task`.
+
+**🏷️ Tagged Task Lists System:** Task Master now supports **tagged task lists** for multi-context task management. This allows you to maintain separate, isolated lists of tasks for different features, branches, or experiments. Existing projects are seamlessly migrated to use a default "master" tag. Most commands now support a `--tag <name>` flag to specify which context to operate on. If omitted, commands use the currently active tag.
+
+---
+
+## Initialization & Setup
+
+### 1. Initialize Project (`init`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `initialize_project`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master init [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project.`
+*   **Key CLI Options:**
+    *   `--name <name>`: `Set the name for your project in Taskmaster's configuration.`
+    *   `--description <text>`: `Provide a brief description for your project.`
+    *   `--version <version>`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.`
+    *   `-y, --yes`: `Initialize Taskmaster quickly using default settings without interactive prompts.`
+*   **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project.
+*   **MCP Variant Description:** `Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project by running the 'task-master init' command.`
+*   **Key MCP Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `projectName`: `Set the name for your project.` (CLI: `--name <name>`)
+    *   `projectDescription`: `Provide a brief description for your project.` (CLI: `--description <text>`)
+    *   `projectVersion`: `Set the initial version for your project, e.g., '0.1.0'.` (CLI: `--version <version>`)
+    *   `authorName`: `Author name.` (CLI: `--author <author>`)
+    *   `skipInstall`: `Skip installing dependencies. Default is false.` (CLI: `--skip-install`)
+    *   `addAliases`: `Add shell aliases tm and taskmaster. Default is false.` (CLI: `--aliases`)
+    *   `yes`: `Skip prompts and use defaults/provided arguments. Default is false.` (CLI: `-y, --yes`)
+*   **Usage:** Run this once at the beginning of a new project, typically via an integrated tool like Kiro. Operates on the current working directory of the MCP server. 
+*   **Important:** Once complete, you *MUST* parse a prd in order to generate tasks. There will be no tasks files until then. The next step after initializing should be to create a PRD using the example PRD in .taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt. 
+*   **Tagging:** Use the `--tag` option to parse the PRD into a specific, non-default tag context. If the tag doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. Example: `task-master parse-prd spec.txt --tag=new-feature`.
+
+### 2. Parse PRD (`parse_prd`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `parse_prd`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master parse-prd [file] [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Parse a Product Requirements Document, PRD, or text file with Taskmaster to automatically generate an initial set of tasks in tasks.json.`
+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**

+*   **Usage:** Useful for bootstrapping a project from an existing requirements document.
+*   **Notes:** Task Master will strictly adhere to any specific requirements mentioned in the PRD, such as libraries, database schemas, frameworks, tech stacks, etc., while filling in any gaps where the PRD isn't fully specified. Tasks are designed to provide the most direct implementation path while avoiding over-engineering.
+*   **Important:** This MCP tool makes AI calls and can take up to a minute to complete. Please inform users to hang tight while the operation is in progress. If the user does not have a PRD, suggest discussing their idea and then use the example PRD in `.taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt` as a template for creating the PRD based on their idea, for use with `parse-prd`.

+## AI Model Configuration
+
+### 2. Manage Models (`models`)
+*   **MCP Tool:** `models`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master models [options]`
+*   **Description:** `View the current AI model configuration or set specific models for different roles (main, research, fallback). Allows setting custom model IDs for Ollama and OpenRouter.`
+*   **Key MCP Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `setMain <model_id>`: `Set the primary model ID for task generation/updates.` (CLI: `--set-main <model_id>`)
+    *   `setResearch <model_id>`: `Set the model ID for research-backed operations.` (CLI: `--set-research <model_id>`)
+    *   `setFallback <model_id>`: `Set the model ID to use if the primary fails.` (CLI: `--set-fallback <model_id>`)
+    *   `ollama <boolean>`: `Indicates the set model ID is a custom Ollama model.` (CLI: `--ollama`)
+    *   `openrouter <boolean>`: `Indicates the set model ID is a custom OpenRouter model.` (CLI: `--openrouter`)
+    *   `listAvailableModels <boolean>`: `If true, lists available models not currently assigned to a role.` (CLI: No direct equivalent; CLI lists available automatically)
+    *   `projectRoot <string>`: `Optional. Absolute path to the project root directory.` (CLI: Determined automatically)
+*   **Key CLI Options:**
+    *   `--set-main <model_id>`: `Set the primary model.`
+    *   `--set-research <model_id>`: `Set the research model.`
+    *   `--set-fallback <model_id>`: `Set the fallback model.`
+    *   `--ollama`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for Ollama (use with --set-*).`
+    *   `--openrouter`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for OpenRouter (use with --set-*). Validates against OpenRouter API.`
+    *   `--bedrock`: `Specify that the provided model ID is for AWS Bedrock (use with --set-*).`
+    *   `--setup`: `Run interactive setup to configure models, including custom Ollama/OpenRouter IDs.`
+*   **Usage (MCP):** Call without set flags to get current config. Use `setMain`, `setResearch`, or `setFallback` with a valid model ID to update the configuration. Use `listAvailableModels: true` to get a list of unassigned models. To set a custom model, provide the model ID and set `ollama: true` or `openrouter: true`.
+*   **Usage (CLI):** Run without flags to view current configuration and available models. Use set flags to update specific roles. Use `--setup` for guided configuration, including custom models. To set a custom model via flags, use `--set-<role>=<model_id>` along with either `--ollama` or `--openrouter`.
+*   **Notes:** Configuration is stored in `.taskmaster/config.json` in the project root. This command/tool modifies that file. Use `listAvailableModels` or `task-master models` to see internally supported models. OpenRouter custom models are validated against their live API. Ollama custom models are not validated live.
+*   **API note:** API keys for selected AI providers (based on their model) need to exist in the mcp.json file to be accessible in MCP context. The API keys must be present in the local .env file for the CLI to be able to read them.
+*   **Model costs:** The costs in supported models are expressed in dollars. An input/output value of 3 is $3.00. A value of 0.8 is $0.80. 
+*   **Warning:** DO NOT MANUALLY EDIT THE .taskmaster/config.json FILE. Use the included commands either in the MCP or CLI format as needed. Always prioritize MCP tools when available and use the CLI as a fallback.

+## Environment Variables Configuration (Updated)
+
+Taskmaster primarily uses the **`.taskmaster/config.json`** file (in project root) for configuration (models, parameters, logging level, etc.), managed via `task-master models --setup`.
+
+Environment variables are used **only** for sensitive API keys related to AI providers and specific overrides like the Ollama base URL:
+
+*   **API Keys (Required for corresponding provider):**
+    *   `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
+    *   `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`
+    *   `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+    *   `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
+    *   `MISTRAL_API_KEY`
+    *   `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` (Requires `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` too)
+    *   `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`
+    *   `XAI_API_KEY`
+    *   `OLLAMA_API_KEY` (Requires `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` too)
+*   **Endpoints (Optional/Provider Specific inside .taskmaster/config.json):**
+    *   `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`
+    *   `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (Default: `http://localhost:11434/api`)
+
+**Set API keys** in your **`.env`** file in the project root (for CLI use) or within the `env` section of your **`.kiro/mcp.json`** file (for MCP/Kiro integration). All other settings (model choice, max tokens, temperature, log level, custom endpoints) are managed in `.taskmaster/config.json` via `task-master models` command or `models` MCP tool.

+# Taskmaster Hook-Driven Workflow
+
+## Core Principle: Hooks Automate Task Management
+
+When working with Taskmaster in Kiro, **avoid manually marking tasks as done**. The hook system automatically handles task completion based on:
+
+- **Test Success**: `[TM] Test Success Task Completer` detects passing tests and prompts for task completion
+- **Code Changes**: `[TM] Code Change Task Tracker` monitors implementation progress
+- **Dependency Chains**: `[TM] Task Dependency Auto-Progression` auto-starts dependent tasks
+
+## AI Assistant Workflow
+
+Follow this pattern when implementing features:
+
+1. **Implement First**: Write code, create tests, make changes
+2. **Save Frequently**: Hooks trigger on file saves to track progress automatically
+3. **Let Hooks Decide**: Allow hooks to detect completion rather than manually setting status
+4. **Respond to Prompts**: Confirm when hooks suggest task completion
+
+## Key Rules for AI Assistants
+
+- **Never use `tm set-status --status=done`** unless hooks fail to detect completion
+- **Always write tests** - they provide the most reliable completion signal
+- **Save files after implementation** - this triggers progress tracking
+- **Trust hook suggestions** - if no completion prompt appears, more work may be needed
+
+## Automatic Behaviors
+
+The hook system provides:
+
+- **Progress Logging**: Implementation details automatically added to task notes
+- **Evidence-Based Completion**: Tasks marked done only when criteria are met
+- **Dependency Management**: Next tasks auto-started when dependencies complete
+- **Natural Flow**: Focus on coding, not task management overhead
+
+## Manual Override Cases
+
+Only manually set task status for:
+
+- Documentation-only tasks
+- Tasks without testable outcomes
+- Emergency fixes without proper test coverage
+
+Use `tm set-status` sparingly - prefer hook-driven completion.
+
+## Implementation Pattern
+
+```
+1. Implement feature → Save file
+2. Write tests → Save test file
+3. Tests pass → Hook prompts completion
+4. Confirm completion → Next task auto-starts
+```
+
+This workflow ensures proper task tracking while maintaining development flow.

+
+## Claude Code Workflow Integration
+
+### Standard Development Workflow
+
+#### 1. Project Initialization
+
+```bash
+# Initialize Task Master
+task-master init
+
+# Create or obtain PRD, then parse it
+task-master parse-prd .taskmaster/docs/prd.txt
+
+# Analyze complexity and expand tasks
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+task-master expand --all --research
+```
+
+If tasks already exist, another PRD can be parsed (with new information only!) using parse-prd with --append flag. This will add the generated tasks to the existing list of tasks..
+
+#### 2. Daily Development Loop
+
+```bash
+# Start each session
+task-master next                           # Find next available task
+task-master show <id>                     # Review task details
+
+# During implementation, check in code context into the tasks and subtasks
+task-master update-subtask --id=<id> --prompt="implementation notes..."
+
+# Complete tasks
+task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done
+```
+
+#### 3. Multi-Claude Workflows
+
+For complex projects, use multiple Claude Code sessions:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Main implementation
+cd project && claude
+
+# Terminal 2: Testing and validation
+cd project-test-worktree && claude
+
+# Terminal 3: Documentation updates
+cd project-docs-worktree && claude
+```
+
+### Custom Slash Commands
+
+Create `.claude/commands/taskmaster-next.md`:
+
+```markdown
+Find the next available Task Master task and show its details.
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Run `task-master next` to get the next task
+2. If a task is available, run `task-master show <id>` for full details
+3. Provide a summary of what needs to be implemented
+4. Suggest the first implementation step
+```
+
+Create `.claude/commands/taskmaster-complete.md`:
+
+```markdown
+Complete a Task Master task: $ARGUMENTS
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Review the current task with `task-master show $ARGUMENTS`
+2. Verify all implementation is complete
+3. Run any tests related to this task
+4. Mark as complete: `task-master set-status --id=$ARGUMENTS --status=done`
+5. Show the next available task with `task-master next`
+```
+
+## Tool Allowlist Recommendations
+
+Add to `.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "allowedTools": [
+    "Edit",
+    "Bash(task-master *)",
+    "Bash(git commit:*)",
+    "Bash(git add:*)",
+    "Bash(npm run *)",
+    "mcp__task_master_ai__*"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration & Setup
+
+### API Keys Required
+
+At least **one** of these API keys must be configured:
+
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (Claude models) - **Recommended**
+- `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` (Research features) - **Highly recommended**
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` (GPT models)
+- `GOOGLE_API_KEY` (Gemini models)
+- `MISTRAL_API_KEY` (Mistral models)
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (Multiple models)
+- `XAI_API_KEY` (Grok models)
+
+An API key is required for any provider used across any of the 3 roles defined in the `models` command.
+
+### Model Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Interactive setup (recommended)
+task-master models --setup
+
+# Set specific models
+task-master models --set-main claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
+task-master models --set-research perplexity-llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online
+task-master models --set-fallback gpt-4o-mini
+```
+
+## Task Structure & IDs
+
+### Task ID Format
+
+- Main tasks: `1`, `2`, `3`, etc.
+- Subtasks: `1.1`, `1.2`, `2.1`, etc.
+- Sub-subtasks: `1.1.1`, `1.1.2`, etc.
+
+### Task Status Values
+
+- `pending` - Ready to work on
+- `in-progress` - Currently being worked on
+- `done` - Completed and verified
+- `deferred` - Postponed
+- `cancelled` - No longer needed
+- `blocked` - Waiting on external factors
+
+### Task Fields
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "1.2",
+  "title": "Implement user authentication",
+  "description": "Set up JWT-based auth system",
+  "status": "pending",
+  "priority": "high",
+  "dependencies": ["1.1"],
+  "details": "Use bcrypt for hashing, JWT for tokens...",
+  "testStrategy": "Unit tests for auth functions, integration tests for login flow",
+  "subtasks": []
+}
+```
+
+## 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
+2. Explore codebase and plan implementation
+3. `task-master update-subtask --id=<id> --prompt="detailed plan"` - Log plan
+4. `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=in-progress` - Start work
+5. Implement code following logged plan
+6. `task-master update-subtask --id=<id> --prompt="what worked/didn't work"` - Log progress
+7. `task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=done` - Complete task
+
+### 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
+5. Use `task-master update-subtask` to log progress on each task/subtask and/or updating/researching them before/during implementation if getting stuck
+
+### Git Integration
+
+Task Master works well with `gh` CLI:
+
+```bash
+# Create PR for completed task
+gh pr create --title "Complete task 1.2: User authentication" --body "Implements JWT auth system as specified in task 1.2"
+
+# Reference task in commits
+git commit -m "feat: implement JWT auth (task 1.2)"
+```
+
+### Parallel Development with Git Worktrees
+
+```bash
+# Create worktrees for parallel task development
+git worktree add ../project-auth feature/auth-system
+git worktree add ../project-api feature/api-refactor
+
+# Run Claude Code in each worktree
+cd ../project-auth && claude    # Terminal 1: Auth work
+cd ../project-api && claude     # Terminal 2: API work
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### AI Commands Failing
+
+```bash
+# Check API keys are configured
+cat .env                           # For CLI usage
+
+# Verify model configuration
+task-master models
+
+# Test with different model
+task-master models --set-fallback gpt-4o-mini
+```
+
+### MCP Connection Issues
+
+- Check `.mcp.json` configuration
+- Verify Node.js installation
+- Use `--mcp-debug` flag when starting Claude Code
+- Use CLI as fallback if MCP unavailable
+
+### Task File Sync Issues
+
+```bash
+# Regenerate task files from tasks.json
+task-master generate
+
+# Fix dependency issues
+task-master fix-dependencies
+```
+
+DO NOT RE-INITIALIZE. That will not do anything beyond re-adding the same Taskmaster core files.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### AI-Powered Operations
+
+These commands make AI calls and may take up to a minute:
+
+- `parse_prd` / `task-master parse-prd`
+- `analyze_project_complexity` / `task-master analyze-complexity`
+- `expand_task` / `task-master expand`
+- `expand_all` / `task-master expand --all`
+- `add_task` / `task-master add-task`
+- `update` / `task-master update`
+- `update_task` / `task-master update-task`
+- `update_subtask` / `task-master update-subtask`
+
+### File Management
+
+- Never manually edit `tasks.json` - use commands instead
+- Never manually edit `.taskmaster/config.json` - 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
+- Recommended for complex technical tasks

+# Research Session
+
+## Initial Query
+
+**Question:** do we need to add new commands or can we just weaponize the gh cli tool
+
+**Response:**
+
+For the implementation of the `task-master git` command suite to automate git workflows (Task 97), it is possible to leverage the existing **GitHub CLI (`gh`) tool** rather than creating entirely new git commands from scratch. The GitHub CLI provides a rich set of commands that cover many GitHub-related operations such as branch management, pull request handling, workflow triggering, and release management, which can be scripted and integrated into your CLI tool[1][2][3][4].
+
+### Key Points Supporting Weaponizing GitHub CLI:
+
+- **Comprehensive GitHub Operations**: The `gh` CLI supports creating branches, managing pull requests, releases, tags, and even triggering and monitoring GitHub Actions workflows. This aligns well with the requirements of automated branch management, commit generation, and PR description generation in Task 97[1][3].
+
+- **Scripting and Automation Friendly**: GitHub CLI commands can be scripted and integrated into custom workflows or CLI tools. You can create aliases or wrap `gh` commands inside your own CLI commands to provide a seamless user experience while relying on the battle-tested GitHub CLI for underlying operations[1][3].
+
+- **Authentication and Permissions**: `gh` uses environment variables like `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` for authentication, which can be securely managed in CI/CD pipelines or local environments. This simplifies integration without needing to implement custom authentication logic[3][4].
+
+- **Extensibility**: If some specific git workflow features are not directly supported by `gh`, you can extend it with custom scripts or combine it with native git commands. This hybrid approach reduces the need to reinvent core git operations while allowing customization[1].
+
+### Considerations for Your Project:
+
+- Since Task 97 requires **automated branch management** (branch creation, validation, switching, cleanup), **intelligent commit generation**, and **PR description generation**, you can implement these by invoking `gh` commands programmatically within your `task-master git` commands.
+
+- For example, branch creation and switching can be done with native git commands wrapped in your CLI, while PR creation and management can be handled via `gh pr create`, `gh pr merge`, etc.
+
+- You may still need to implement some **custom logic** for commit type detection, branch name validation, and PR description generation based on your task metadata, but the underlying git and GitHub operations can be delegated to `gh`.
+
+- This approach aligns with your existing CLI foundation (Task 2) and leverages a well-supported tool, reducing development effort and increasing reliability.
+
+### Summary
+
+You **do not necessarily need to add entirely new git commands** for Task 97. Instead, you can **weaponize the GitHub CLI (`gh`) tool** by wrapping and scripting its commands within your `task-master git` command suite. This will allow you to automate git workflows efficiently, maintain consistency, and leverage GitHub’s API capabilities without reinventing the wheel[1][2][3][4].
+
+If there are gaps in `gh` functionality for your specific workflow needs, you can supplement with native git commands or custom scripts, but the core git and GitHub operations should be handled by `gh` for best results.
+

+
+## Follow-up 1
+
+**Question:** how does this relate to git worktrees? i hear that they get super complicated when trying to implement them.
+
+**Response:**
+
+Git worktrees allow you to have multiple working directories attached to the same Git repository, each checked out to different branches simultaneously. This enables parallel development workflows without the overhead of cloning the repository multiple times or constantly switching branches in a single working directory[2][3].
+
+However, **implementing or managing git worktrees can get complicated** for several reasons:
+
+- **Complexity for users and tooling:** Managing multiple active worktrees requires careful tracking of which directory corresponds to which branch. This can be confusing and error-prone, especially for novices or when many worktrees are in use simultaneously. Mistakes like committing to the wrong branch or working in the wrong directory are common risks[1].
+
+- **Maintenance overhead:** Worktrees accumulate over time and need to be pruned or cleaned up regularly (`git worktree prune`) to avoid clutter and potential confusion. This adds an extra maintenance step to the workflow[1].
+
+- **Syncing and update challenges:** Each worktree is a separate checkout and can become outdated if not regularly updated from the main repository. This can lead to merge conflicts or redundant work if branches diverge significantly[1].
+
+- **Tooling and integration limitations:** Not all Git tools, scripts, or GUIs fully support worktrees or are optimized for them. This can cause inconsistencies or require additional custom tooling to manage worktrees effectively[1].
+
+- **Performance considerations:** Managing multiple worktrees simultaneously can have performance implications, especially in very large repositories, due to the overhead of maintaining multiple checkouts and metadata[1].
+
+In the context of your project, which involves automating git workflows and possibly wrapping or extending git/GitHub CLI commands, these complexities imply:
+
+- If you consider supporting git worktrees in your `task-master git` command suite, you will need to handle the complexity of managing multiple directories and branches carefully.
+
+- You might need to implement additional logic or tooling to track and manage worktrees, avoid user confusion, and ensure synchronization between them.
+
+- Since your project already plans to leverage the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and native git commands, you could integrate worktree commands (`git worktree add`, `git worktree remove`, `git worktree list`) but should be prepared for the added complexity in workflow management and user documentation.
+
+- Custom wrappers or managers (like the one described in [3]) can help reduce friction by automating worktree creation, switching, and cleanup, which might be a useful approach to consider.
+
+Overall, **git worktrees provide powerful parallel branch management but introduce complexity in implementation and user experience** that must be carefully managed through tooling, automation, and clear documentation[1][3][4].
+
+---
+
+**Summary Table of Git Worktree Challenges and Considerations**
+
+| Aspect                  | Description                                                                                   | Implication for Project                                  |
+|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
+| User Complexity         | Confusing multiple directories and branches                                                  | Need clear UI/UX and safeguards                          |
+| Maintenance Overhead    | Requires pruning and cleanup of stale worktrees                                              | Automate cleanup or provide commands                     |
+| Syncing Issues         | Worktrees can become outdated or diverge                                                     | Implement update checks and sync workflows               |
+| Tooling Support        | Limited support in some Git tools and GUIs                                                  | May require custom tooling or wrappers                   |
+| Performance            | Overhead in large repos with many worktrees                                                 | Monitor and optimize performance                          |
+| Workflow Automation    | Manual worktree management is tedious                                                       | Build custom managers or wrappers to simplify usage     |
+
+---
+
+Given your project’s focus on automating git workflows and leveraging existing CLI tools, **implementing git worktree support is feasible but will require careful design to handle these complexities effectively**. You may want to start with basic worktree commands and incrementally add automation and safeguards as needed.
+
+---
+
+## Follow-up 2
+
+**Question:** since we already have a way to have separated task lists per branch, couldn't we do the same thing for worktrees? each taskmaster list (tag) would have its own worktree based on the name of the tag?
+
+**Response:**
+
+Yes, you can apply a similar approach used for separated task lists per branch to git worktrees by associating each taskmaster list (tag) with its own git worktree named after the tag. This means each tag would correspond to a dedicated worktree directory checked out to a branch or commit related to that tag, enabling isolated parallel work environments for each task list.
+
+### How This Maps to Git Worktrees
+
+- **Git worktrees** allow multiple working directories linked to the same repository, each checked out to a different branch or commit[1][2]. This lets you work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching contexts in a single directory.
+
+- When you create a worktree with `git worktree add <path> [<branch>]`, Git creates a new linked working tree at `<path>`, optionally checking out a specified branch or creating a new one[1][2]. Naming the worktree directory after the tag (taskmaster list) is straightforward and semantically clear.
+
+- This setup mirrors your existing branch-based task list separation but extends it to physical directories, which can improve workflow isolation and reduce context switching.
+
+### Benefits for Your Project
+
+- **Isolated environments per task list/tag:** Each tag’s worktree can have its own checked-out branch, allowing independent development, testing, or review without interference.
+
+- **Parallel workflows:** Developers can switch between worktrees (directories) instead of switching branches in one directory, reducing errors and improving productivity.
+
+- **Automation potential:** Your `task-master git` commands can automate creating, switching, and cleaning up these worktrees based on tags, similar to how you manage branches and task lists.
+
+### Challenges and Considerations
+
+- **Complexity in management:** Git worktrees add complexity in tracking multiple directories and ensuring users operate in the correct one[1]. Your CLI should provide clear commands and feedback to avoid confusion.
+
+- **Maintenance overhead:** Worktrees need pruning and cleanup (`git worktree prune` or `git worktree remove`) to avoid clutter[1]. Automating cleanup in your tool would be beneficial.
+
+- **Syncing and updates:** Each worktree is a separate checkout and can become outdated. Your automation should include commands to update or rebase worktrees as needed.
+
+- **Tooling support:** Not all Git tools or scripts fully support worktrees, so your CLI wrappers should handle edge cases and provide a consistent experience[1][3].
+
+### Practical Implementation Ideas
+
+- When a new tag (taskmaster list) is created, run `git worktree add` to create a new worktree directory named after the tag.
+
+- Store metadata linking tags to worktree paths in your taskmaster configuration to track and manage them.
+
+- Provide commands like `task-master worktree list`, `task-master worktree add <tag>`, and `task-master worktree remove <tag>` to manage these worktrees.
+
+- Integrate with GitHub CLI (`gh`) and native git commands to automate branch creation, PR handling, and syncing within each worktree.
+
+- Consider inspiration from existing tools like [wt](https://github.com/taecontrol/wt) that automate worktree environment setup and teardown[3].
+
+### Summary
+
+Using git worktrees per taskmaster tag is a feasible and potentially powerful extension of your current branch-based task list separation. It offers isolated, parallel working directories aligned with your tags, improving workflow clarity and reducing branch-switching overhead. However, it requires careful tooling and automation to manage complexity, maintenance, and synchronization effectively. Given your project’s focus on automating git workflows and leveraging CLI tools, implementing this feature incrementally with robust user feedback and cleanup commands would be a practical approach.

+- Default values: projectPath = process.cwd(), aiProvider = 'anthropic', enableTags = true
+
+### 11. Create utils/id-generator.ts
+Export functions:
+- `generateTaskId(index: number = 0): string` returning format `task_{timestamp}_{index}_{random}`
+- `generateSubtaskId(parentId: string, index: number = 0): string` returning format `{parentId}_sub_{index}_{random}`
+
+### 16. Create src/index.ts
+Create main class `TaskMasterCore`:
+- Private properties: `config: ConfigManager`, `storage: IStorage`, `aiProvider?: IAIProvider`, `parser?: TaskParser`
+- Constructor accepting `options: Partial<IConfiguration>`
+- Method `initialize(): Promise<void>` for lazy loading
+- Method `parsePRD(prdPath: string, options: ParseOptions = {}): Promise<Task[]>`
+- Method `getTasks(tag?: string): Promise<Task[]>`
+- Apply **Facade** pattern to provide simple API over complex subsystems
+
+Export:
+- Class `TaskMasterCore`
+- Function `createTaskMaster(options: Partial<IConfiguration>): TaskMasterCore`
+- All types from './types'
+- All interfaces from './interfaces/*'
+
+Import statements should use kebab-case:
+```typescript
+import { TaskParser } from './tasks/task-parser';
+import { FileStorage } from './storage/file-storage';
+import { ConfigManager } from './config/config-manager';
+import { ProviderFactory } from './ai/provider-factory';
+```
+
+### 17. Configure package.json
+Create package.json with:
+- name: "@task-master/core"
+- version: "0.1.0"
+- type: "module"
+- main: "./dist/index.js"
+- module: "./dist/index.mjs"
+- types: "./dist/index.d.ts"
+- exports map for proper ESM/CJS support
+- scripts: build (tsup), dev (tsup --watch), test (jest), typecheck (tsc --noEmit)
+- dependencies: zod@^3.23.8
+- peerDependencies: @anthropic-ai/sdk, openai, @google/generative-ai
+- devDependencies: typescript, tsup, jest, ts-jest, @types/node, @types/jest
+
+### 18. Configure TypeScript
+Create tsconfig.json with:
+- target: "ES2022"
+- module: "ESNext"
+- strict: true (with all strict flags enabled)
+- declaration: true
+- outDir: "./dist"
+- rootDir: "./src"
+
+### 19. Configure tsup
+Create tsup.config.js with:
+- entry: ['src/index.ts']
+- format: ['cjs', 'esm']
+- dts: true
+- sourcemap: true
+- clean: true
+- external: AI provider SDKs
+
+### 20. Configure Jest
+Create jest.config.js with:
+- preset: 'ts-jest'
+- testEnvironment: 'node'
+- Coverage threshold: 80% for all metrics
+
+## Build Process
+1. Use tsup to compile TypeScript to both CommonJS and ESM
+2. Generate .d.ts files for TypeScript consumers
+3. Output to dist/ directory
+4. Ensure tree-shaking works properly
+
+## Testing Requirements
+- Create unit tests for TaskParser in tests/task-parser.test.ts
+- Create MockProvider class in tests/mocks/mock-provider.ts for testing without API calls
+- Test error scenarios (file not found, invalid JSON, etc.)
+- Create integration test in tests/integration/parse-prd.test.ts
+- Follow kebab-case naming for all test files
+
+## Success Criteria
+- TypeScript compilation with zero errors
+- No use of 'any' type
+- All interfaces properly exported
+- Compatible with existing tasks.json format
+- Feature flag support via USE_TM_CORE environment variable
+
+## Import/Export Conventions
+- Use named exports for all classes and interfaces
+- Use barrel exports (index.ts) in each directory
+- Import types/interfaces with type-only imports: `import type { Task } from '../types'`
+- Group imports in order: Node built-ins, external packages, internal packages, relative imports
+- Use .js extension in import paths for ESM compatibility
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+- Create custom error classes in `src/errors/` directory
+- All public methods should catch and wrap errors with context
+- Use error codes for different error types (e.g., 'FILE_NOT_FOUND', 'PARSE_ERROR')
+- Never expose internal implementation details in error messages
+- Log errors to console.error only in development mode

+
+  This release introduces two powerful new commands that allow you to dynamically adjust the complexity of your tasks and subtasks without recreating them from scratch.
+
+  **New CLI Commands:**
+  - `task-master scope-up` - Increase task complexity (add more detail, requirements, or implementation steps)
+  - `task-master scope-down` - Decrease task complexity (simplify, remove unnecessary details, or streamline)
+
+  **Key Features:**
+  - **Multiple tasks**: Support comma-separated IDs to adjust multiple tasks at once (`--id=5,7,12`)
+  - **Strength levels**: Choose adjustment intensity with `--strength=light|regular|heavy` (defaults to regular)
+  - **Custom prompts**: Use `--prompt` flag to specify exactly how you want tasks adjusted
+  - **MCP integration**: Available as `scope_up_task` and `scope_down_task` tools in Cursor and other MCP environments
+  - **Smart context**: AI considers your project context and task dependencies when making adjustments
+
+  **Usage Examples:**
+
+  ```bash
+  # Make a task more detailed
+  task-master scope-up --id=5
+
+  # Simplify multiple tasks with light touch
+  task-master scope-down --id=10,11,12 --strength=light
+
+  # Custom adjustment with specific instructions
+  task-master scope-up --id=7 --prompt="Add more error handling and edge cases"
+  ```
+
+  **Why use this?**
+  - **Iterative refinement**: Adjust task complexity as your understanding evolves
+  - **Project phase adaptation**: Scale tasks up for implementation, down for planning
+  - **Team coordination**: Adjust complexity based on team member experience levels
+  - **Milestone alignment**: Fine-tune tasks to match project phase requirements
+
+  Perfect for agile workflows where task requirements change as you learn more about the problem space.

+  - **Kiro Profile**: Added full support for Kiro IDE with automatic installation of 7 Taskmaster agent hooks
+  - **Hook-Driven Workflow**: Introduced natural language automation hooks that eliminate manual task status updates
+  - **Automatic Hook Installation**: Hooks are now automatically copied to `.kiro/hooks/` when running `task-master rules add kiro`
+  - **Language-Agnostic Support**: All hooks support multiple programming languages (JS, Python, Go, Rust, Java, etc.)
+  - **Frontmatter Transformation**: Kiro rules use simplified `inclusion: always` format instead of Cursor's complex frontmatter
+  - **Special Rule**: Added `taskmaster_hooks_workflow.md` that guides AI assistants to prefer hook-driven completion
+
+  Key hooks included:
+  - Task Dependency Auto-Progression: Automatically starts tasks when dependencies complete
+  - Code Change Task Tracker: Updates task progress as you save files
+  - Test Success Task Completer: Marks tasks done when tests pass
+  - Daily Standup Assistant: Provides personalized task status summaries
+  - PR Readiness Checker: Validates task completion before creating pull requests
+  - Complexity Analyzer: Auto-expands complex tasks into manageable subtasks
+  - Git Commit Task Linker: Links commits to tasks for better traceability
+
+  This creates a truly autonomous development workflow where task management happens naturally as you code!

+# VS Code Extension CI/CD Setup
+
+This document explains the CI/CD setup for the Task Master VS Code extension using automated changesets.
+
+## 🔄 Workflows Overview
+
+### 1. Extension CI (`extension-ci.yml`)
+
+#### Triggers
+
+- Push to `main` or `next` branches (only when extension files change)
+- Pull requests to `main` or `next` (only when extension files change)
+
+#### What it does
+
+- ✅ Lints and type-checks the extension code
+- 🔨 Builds the extension (`npm run build`)
+- 📦 Creates a clean package (`npm run package`)
+- 🧪 Runs tests with VS Code test framework
+- 📋 Creates a test VSIX package to verify packaging works
+- 💾 Uploads build artifacts for inspection
+
+### 2. Version & Publish (`version.yml`)
+
+**Triggers:**
+- Push to `main` branch
+
+**What it does:**
+- 🔍 Detects changeset files for pending releases
+- 📝 Creates "Version Packages" PR with updated versions and CHANGELOG
+- 🤖 When Version PR is merged, automatically:
+  - 🔨 Builds and packages the extension
+  - 🏷️ Creates git tags with changeset automation
+  - 📤 Publishes to VS Code Marketplace
+  - 🌍 Publishes to Open VSX Registry
+  - 📊 Updates package versions and CHANGELOG
+
+## 🚀 Changeset Workflow
+
+### Creating Changes
+When making changes to the extension:
+
+1. **Make your code changes**
+2. **Create a changeset**:
+   ```bash
+   # From project root
+   npx changeset add
+   ```
+3. **Select the extension package**: Choose `taskr-kanban` when prompted
+4. **Select version bump type**:
+   - `patch`: Bug fixes, minor updates
+   - `minor`: New features, backwards compatible
+   - `major`: Breaking changes
+5. **Write a summary**: Describe what changed for users
+6. **Commit changeset file** along with your code changes
+7. **Push to feature branch** and create PR
+
+### Automated Publishing Process
+1. **PR with changeset** gets merged to `main`
+2. **Version workflow** detects changesets and creates "Version Packages" PR
+3. **Review and merge** the Version PR
+4. **Automated publishing** happens immediately:
+   - Extension is built using 3-file packaging system
+   - VSIX package is created and tested
+   - Published to VS Code Marketplace (if `VSCE_PAT` is set)
+   - Published to Open VSX Registry (if `OVSX_PAT` is set)
+   - Git tags are created: `taskr-kanban@1.0.1`
+   - CHANGELOG is updated automatically
+

+To use the automated publishing, you need to set up these GitHub repository secrets:
+
+### `VSCE_PAT` (VS Code Marketplace Personal Access Token)
+1. Go to [Azure DevOps](https://dev.azure.com/)
+2. Sign in with your Microsoft account
+3. Create a Personal Access Token:
+   - **Name**: VS Code Extension Publishing
+   - **Organization**: All accessible organizations
+   - **Expiration**: Custom (recommend 1 year)
+   - **Scopes**: Custom defined → **Marketplace** → **Manage**
+4. Copy the token and add it to GitHub Secrets as `VSCE_PAT`
+
+### `OVSX_PAT` (Open VSX Registry Personal Access Token)
+1. Go to [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/)
+2. Sign in with your GitHub account
+3. Go to your [User Settings](https://open-vsx.org/user-settings/tokens)
+4. Create a new Access Token:
+   - **Description**: VS Code Extension Publishing
+   - **Scopes**: Leave default (full access)
+5. Copy the token and add it to GitHub Secrets as `OVSX_PAT`
+
+### `GITHUB_TOKEN` (automatically provided)
+This is automatically available in GitHub Actions - no setup required.
+
+## 📋 Version Management
+
+### Changeset-Based Versioning
+Versions are automatically managed by changesets:
+
+- **No manual version updates needed** - changesets handle this automatically
+- **Semantic versioning** is enforced based on changeset types
+- **Changelog generation** happens automatically
+- **Git tagging** is handled by the automation
+
+### Critical Fields Sync
+The automation ensures these fields stay in sync between `package.json` and `package.publish.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.2",                    // ✅ AUTO-SYNCED
+  "publisher": "Hamster",        // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+  "displayName": "taskr: Task Master Kanban", // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+  "description": "...",                  // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+  "engines": { "vscode": "^1.93.0" },   // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+  "categories": [...],                   // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+  "contributes": { ... }                 // ⚠️ MUST MATCH MANUALLY
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Only `version` is automatically synced. Other fields must be manually kept in sync.
+
+## 🔍 Monitoring Builds
+
+### CI Status
+
+- **Green ✅**: Extension builds and tests successfully
+- **Red ❌**: Build/test failures - check logs for details
+- **Yellow 🟡**: Partial success - some jobs may have warnings
+
+### Version PR Status
+
+- **Version PR Created**: Changesets detected, review and merge to publish
+- **No Version PR**: No changesets found, no releases pending
+- **Version PR Merged**: Automated publishing triggered
+
+### Release Status
+
+- **Published 🎉**: Extension live on VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX
+- **Skipped ℹ️**: No changesets found, no release needed
+- **Failed ❌**: Check logs - often missing secrets or build issues
+
+### Artifacts
+
+Workflows upload artifacts that you can download:
+
+- **CI**: Test results, built files, and VSIX package
+- **Version**: Final VSIX package and published extension
+
+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### No Version PR Created
+
+- **Check**: Changeset files exist in `.changeset/` directory
+- **Check**: Changeset refers to `taskr-kanban` package name
+- **Check**: Changes were pushed to `main` branch
+- **Solution**: Create changeset with `npx changeset add`
+
+#### Version PR Not Publishing
+
+- **Check**: Version PR was actually merged (not just closed)
+- **Check**: Required secrets (`VSCE_PAT`, `OVSX_PAT`) are set
+- **Check**: No build failures in workflow logs
+- **Solution**: Re-run workflow or check secret configuration
+
+#### `VSCE_PAT` is not set Error
+
+- Ensure `VSCE_PAT` secret is added to repository
+- Check token hasn't expired
+- Verify token has Marketplace → Manage permissions
+
+#### `OVSX_PAT` is not set Error
+
+- Ensure `OVSX_PAT` secret is added to repository
+- Check token hasn't expired
+- Verify you're signed in to Open VSX Registry with GitHub
+
+#### Build Failures
+
+- Check extension code compiles locally: `cd apps/extension && npm run build`
+- Verify tests pass locally: `npm run test`
+- Check for TypeScript errors: `npm run check-types`
+
+#### Packaging Failures
+
+- Ensure clean package builds: `npm run package`
+- Check vsix-build structure is correct
+- Verify `package.publish.json` has correct `repository` field
+
+#### Changeset Issues
+
+- **Wrong package name**: Ensure changeset refers to `taskr-kanban`
+- **Invalid format**: Check changeset markdown format is correct
+- **Merge conflicts**: Resolve any conflicts in changeset files
+
+## 📁 File Structure Impact
+
+The CI workflows respect the 3-file packaging system:
+- **Development**: Uses `package.json` for dependencies and scripts
+- **Release**: Uses `package.publish.json` for clean marketplace package
+- **Build**: Uses `package.mjs` to create `vsix-build/` for final packaging
+- **Changesets**: Automatically manage versions across the system
+
+## 🌍 Dual Registry Publishing
+
+Your extension will be automatically published to both:
+- **VS Code Marketplace** - For official VS Code users
+- **Open VSX Registry** - For Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Gitpod, Eclipse Theia, and other compatible editors
+
+## 🎯 Benefits of Changeset Automation
+
+- ✅ **Automated versioning**: No manual version bumps needed
+- ✅ **Generated changelogs**: Automatic, accurate release notes
+- ✅ **Semantic versioning**: Enforced through changeset types
+- ✅ **Git tagging**: Proper tags for extension releases
+- ✅ **Conflict prevention**: Clear separation of extension vs. main package versions
+- ✅ **Review process**: Version changes are reviewable via PR
+- ✅ **Rollback capability**: Easy to revert if issues arise
+
+This ensures clean, predictable, and fully automated publishing to both registries! 🚀

+# VS Code Extension Development Guide
+
+## 📁 File Structure Overview
+
+This VS Code extension uses a **3-file packaging system** to avoid dependency conflicts during publishing:
+
+```
+apps/extension/
+├── package.json           # Development configuration
+├── package.publish.json   # Clean publishing configuration  
+├── package.mjs           # Build script for packaging
+├── .vscodeignore         # Files to exclude from extension package
+└── vsix-build/           # Generated clean package directory
+```
+
+## 📋 File Purposes
+
+### `package.json` (Development)
+- **Purpose**: Development environment with all build tools
+- **Contains**: 
+  - All `devDependencies` needed for building
+  - Development scripts (`build`, `watch`, `lint`, etc.)
+  - Development package name: `"taskr"`
+- **Used for**: Local development, building, testing
+
+### `package.publish.json` (Publishing)
+- **Purpose**: Clean distribution version for VS Code Marketplace
+- **Contains**:
+  - **No devDependencies** (avoids dependency conflicts)
+  - Publishing metadata (`keywords`, `repository`, `categories`)
+  - Marketplace package name: `"taskr-kanban"`
+  - VS Code extension configuration
+- **Used for**: Final extension packaging
+
+### `package.mjs` (Build Script)
+- **Purpose**: Creates clean package for distribution
+- **Process**:
+  1. Builds the extension (`build:js` + `build:css`)
+  2. Creates clean `vsix-build/` directory
+  3. Copies only essential files (no source code)
+  4. Renames `package.publish.json` → `package.json`
+  5. Ready for `vsce package`
+
+## 🚀 Development Workflow
+
+### Local Development
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Start development with hot reload
+npm run watch
+
+# Run just JavaScript build
+npm run build:js
+
+# Run just CSS build  
+npm run build:css
+
+# Full production build
+npm run build
+
+# Type checking
+npm run check-types
+
+# Linting
+npm run lint
+```
+
+### Testing in VS Code
+1. Press `F5` in VS Code to launch Extension Development Host
+2. Test your extension functionality in the new window
+3. Use `Developer: Reload Window` to reload after changes
+
+## 📦 Production Packaging
+
+### Step 1: Build Clean Package
+```bash
+npm run package
+```
+This creates `vsix-build/` with clean distribution files.
+
+### Step 2: Create VSIX
+```bash
+cd vsix-build
+npx vsce package --no-dependencies
+```
+Creates: `taskr-kanban-1.0.1.vsix`
+
+### Alternative: One Command
+```bash
+npm run package && cd vsix-build && npx vsce package --no-dependencies
+```
+
+## 🔄 Keeping Files in Sync
+
+### Critical Fields to Sync Between Files
+
+When updating extension metadata, ensure these fields match between `package.json` and `package.publish.json`:
+
+#### Version & Identity
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.1",                    // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "publisher": "Hamster",        // ⚠️ MUST MATCH  
+  "displayName": "taskr: Task Master Kanban", // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "description": "A visual Kanban board...",  // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+}
+```
+
+#### VS Code Configuration
+```json
+{
+  "engines": { "vscode": "^1.101.0" },   // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "categories": [...],                    // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "activationEvents": [...],              // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "main": "./dist/extension.js",          // ⚠️ MUST MATCH
+  "contributes": { ... }                  // ⚠️ MUST MATCH EXACTLY
+}
+```
+
+### Key Differences (Should NOT Match)
+```json
+// package.json (dev)
+{
+  "name": "taskr",                       // ✅ Short dev name
+  "devDependencies": { ... },            // ✅ Only in dev file
+  "scripts": { ... }                     // ✅ Build scripts
+}
+
+// package.publish.json (publishing)
+{
+  "name": "taskr-kanban",               // ✅ Marketplace name
+  "keywords": [...],                     // ✅ Only in publish file
+  "repository": "https://github.com/...", // ✅ Only in publish file
+  // NO devDependencies                  // ✅ Clean for publishing
+  // NO build scripts                    // ✅ Not needed in package
+}
+```
+
+## 🤖 Automated Release Process
+
+### Changesets Workflow
+This extension uses [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) for automated version management and publishing.
+
+#### Adding Changes
+When making changes to the extension:
+
+1. **Make your code changes**
+2. **Create a changeset**:
+   ```bash
+   # From project root
+   npx changeset add
+   ```
+3. **Select the extension package**: Choose `taskr-kanban` when prompted
+4. **Select version bump type**:
+   - `patch`: Bug fixes, minor updates
+   - `minor`: New features, backwards compatible
+   - `major`: Breaking changes
+5. **Write a summary**: Describe what changed for users
+
+#### Automated Publishing
+The automation workflow runs on pushes to `main`:
+
+1. **Version Workflow** (`.github/workflows/version.yml`):
+   - Detects when changesets exist
+   - Creates a "Version Packages" PR with updated versions and CHANGELOG
+   - When the PR is merged, automatically publishes the extension
+
+2. **Release Process** (`scripts/release.sh`):
+   - Builds the extension using the 3-file packaging system
+   - Creates VSIX package
+   - Publishes to VS Code Marketplace (if `VSCE_PAT` is set)
+   - Publishes to Open VSX Registry (if `OVSX_PAT` is set)
+   - Creates git tags for the extension version
+
+#### Required Secrets
+For automated publishing, these secrets must be set in the repository:
+
+- `VSCE_PAT`: Personal Access Token for VS Code Marketplace
+- `OVSX_PAT`: Personal Access Token for Open VSX Registry
+- `GITHUB_TOKEN`: Automatically provided by GitHub Actions
+
+#### Manual Release
+If needed, you can manually trigger a release:
+
+```bash
+# From project root
+./scripts/release.sh
+```
+
+### Extension Tagging
+The extension uses a separate tagging strategy from the main package:
+
+- **Extension tags**: `taskr-kanban@1.0.1`
+- **Main package tags**: `task-master-ai@2.1.0`
+
+This allows independent versioning and prevents conflicts in the monorepo.
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Dependency Conflicts
+**Problem**: `vsce package` fails with missing dependencies
+**Solution**: Use the 3-file system - never run `vsce package` from root
+
+### Build Failures
+**Problem**: Extension not working after build
+**Check**:
+1. All files copied to `vsix-build/dist/`
+2. `package.publish.json` has correct `main` field
+3. VS Code engine version compatibility
+
+### Sync Issues
+**Problem**: Extension works locally but fails when packaged
+**Check**: Ensure critical fields are synced between package files
+
+### Changeset Issues
+**Problem**: Version workflow not triggering
+**Check**: 
+1. Changeset files exist in `.changeset/`
+2. Package name in changeset matches `package.publish.json`
+3. Changes are pushed to `main` branch
+
+**Problem**: Publishing fails
+**Check**:
+1. Required secrets are set in repository settings
+2. `package.publish.json` has correct repository URL
+3. Build process completes successfully
+
+## 📝 Version Release Checklist
+
+### Manual Releases
+1. **Create changeset**: `npx changeset add`
+2. **Update critical fields** in both `package.json` and `package.publish.json`
+3. **Test locally** with `F5` in VS Code
+4. **Commit and push** to trigger automated workflow
+
+### Automated Releases (Recommended)
+1. **Create changeset**: `npx changeset add`
+2. **Push to feature branch** and create PR
+3. **Merge PR** - this triggers version PR creation
+4. **Review and merge version PR** - this triggers automated publishing
+
+## 🎯 Why This System?
+
+- **Avoids dependency conflicts**: VS Code doesn't see dev dependencies
+- **Clean distribution**: Only essential files in final package
+- **Faster packaging**: No dependency resolution during `vsce package`
+- **Maintainable**: Clear separation of dev vs. production configs
+- **Reliable**: Consistent, conflict-free packaging process
+- **Automated**: Changesets handle versioning and publishing automatically
+- **Traceable**: Clear changelog and git tags for every release
+
+---
+
+**Remember**: Always use `npx changeset add` for changes, then push to trigger automated releases! 🚀
