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

+## Grok Provider Setup
+
+Task Master now supports Grok models from xAI with full codebase context awareness. This is especially useful for AI operations that benefit from understanding your entire project structure.
+
+### Getting Started with Grok
+
+1. **Get your Grok API key** from [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai)
+2. **Set the environment variable**:
+   ```bash
+   export GROK_CLI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+   ```
+3. **Configure Task Master to use Grok**:
+   ```bash
+   task-master models --set-main grok-beta
+   # or
+   task-master models --set-research grok-beta
+   # or  
+   task-master models --set-fallback grok-beta
+   ```
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Full codebase context**: Grok models can analyze your entire project when generating tasks or parsing PRDs
+- **xAI model access**: Support for latest Grok models (grok-2, grok-3, grok-4, etc.)
+- **Code-aware task generation**: Create more accurate and contextual tasks based on your actual codebase
+- **Intelligent PRD parsing**: Parse requirements with understanding of your existing code structure
+
+### Available Models
+
+- `grok-beta` - Latest Grok model with codebase context
+- `grok-vision-beta` - Grok with vision capabilities and codebase context
+
+<Note>
+The Grok CLI provider integrates with xAI's Grok models via [grok-cli](https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli) by Superagent AI and can also use the local Grok CLI configuration file (`~/.grok/user-settings.json`) if available.
+</Note>

 ## What Else Can Be Configured?
 
 The main configuration file (`.taskmaster/config.json`) allows you to control nearly every aspect of Task Master’s behavior. Here’s a high-level look at what you can customize:
@@ -89,6 +132,13 @@ You don’t need to configure everything up front. Most settings can be left as
 - `defaultSubtasks`: Number of subtasks to auto-generate
 - `defaultPriority`: Priority level for new tasks
 
+### Codebase Analysis Control
+- `TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS`: Control whether codebase analysis features are enabled
+  - Can be set via environment variables, MCP configuration, or project config files
+  - Priority order: `.env` > MCP session env > `.taskmaster/config.json`
+  - Default: `true`
+  - When enabled, allows providers like Claude Code and Gemini CLI to analyze your project structure for more contextual task generation
+
 ### API Endpoint Overrides
 - `ollamaBaseURL`: Custom Ollama server URL
 - `azureBaseURL`: Global Azure endpoint
