+# Overview
+Add a new CLI command: `task-master start <task_id>` (alias: `tm start <task_id>`). This command hard-codes `claude-code` as the executor, fetches task details, builds a standardized prompt, runs claude-code, shows the result, checks for git changes, and auto-marks the task as done if successful.
+
+We follow the Commander class pattern, reuse task retrieval from `show` command flow. Extremely minimal for 1-hour hackathon timeline.
+
+# Core Features
+- `start` command (Commander class style) 
+- Hard-coded executor: `claude-code`
+- Standardized prompt designed for minimal changes following existing patterns
+- Shows claude-code output (no streaming)
+- Git status check for success detection
+- Auto-mark task done if successful
+
+# User Experience
+```
+task-master start 12
+```
+1) Fetches Task #12 details
+2) Builds standardized prompt with task context
+3) Runs claude-code with the prompt
+4) Shows output
+5) Checks git status for changes
+6) Auto-marks task done if changes detected
+</context>
+
+<PRD>
+# Technical Architecture
+
+- Command pattern:
+  - Create `apps/cli/src/commands/start.command.ts` modeled on [list.command.ts](mdc:apps/cli/src/commands/list.command.ts) and task lookup from [show.command.ts](mdc:apps/cli/src/commands/show.command.ts)
+
+- Task retrieval:
+  - Use `@tm/core` via `createTaskMasterCore` to get task by ID
+  - Extract: id, title, description, details
+
+- Executor (ultra-simple approach):
+  - Execute `claude "full prompt here"` command directly
+  - The prompt tells Claude to first run `tm show <task_id>` to get task details
+  - Then tells Claude to implement the code changes
+  - This opens Claude CLI interface naturally in the current terminal
+  - No subprocess management needed - just execute the command
+
+- Execution flow:
+  1) Validate `<task_id>` exists; exit with error if not
+  2) Build standardized prompt that includes instructions to run `tm show <task_id>`
+  3) Execute `claude "prompt"` command directly in terminal
+  4) Claude CLI opens, runs `tm show`, then implements changes
+  5) After Claude session ends, run `git status --porcelain` to detect changes
+  6) If changes detected, auto-run `task-master set-status --id=<task_id> --status=done`
+
+- Success criteria:
+  - Success = exit code 0 AND git shows modified/created files
+  - Print changed file paths; warn if no changes detected
+
+# Development Roadmap
+
+MVP (ship in ~1 hour):
+1) Implement `start.command.ts` (Commander class), parse `<task_id>`
+2) Validate task exists via tm-core 
+3) Build prompt that tells Claude to run `tm show <task_id>` then implement
+4) Execute `claude "prompt"` command, then check git status and auto-mark done
+
+# Risks and Mitigations
+- Executor availability: Error clearly if `claude-code` provider fails
+- False success: Git-change heuristic acceptable for hackathon MVP
+
+# Appendix
+
+**Standardized Prompt Template:**
+```
+You are an AI coding assistant with access to this repository's codebase.
+
+First, run this command to get the task details:
+tm show <task_id>
+
+Then implement the task with these requirements:
+- Make the SMALLEST number of code changes possible
+- Follow ALL existing patterns in the codebase (you have access to analyze the code)
+- Do NOT over-engineer the solution
+- Use existing files/functions/patterns wherever possible
+- When complete, print: COMPLETED: <brief summary of changes>
+
+Begin by running tm show <task_id> to understand what needs to be implemented.
+```

+# Dependencies: None
+# Priority: high
+# Description: Create the basic structure for the start command following the Commander class pattern
+# Details:
+Create a new file `apps/cli/src/commands/start.command.ts` based on the existing list.command.ts pattern. Implement the command class with proper command registration, description, and argument handling for the task_id parameter. The class should extend the base Command class and implement the required methods.
+
+Example structure:
+```typescript
+import { Command } from 'commander';
+import { BaseCommand } from './base.command';
+
+export class StartCommand extends BaseCommand {
+  public register(program: Command): void {
+    program
+      .command('start')
+      .alias('tm start')
+      .description('Start implementing a task using claude-code')
+      .argument('<task_id>', 'ID of the task to start')
+      .action(async (taskId: string) => {
+        await this.execute(taskId);
+      });
+  }
+
+  public async execute(taskId: string): Promise<void> {
+    // Implementation will be added in subsequent tasks
+  }
+}
+```
+
+# Test Strategy:
+Verify the command registers correctly by running the CLI with --help and checking that the start command appears with proper description and arguments. Test the basic structure by ensuring the command can be invoked without errors.

+```
+<info added on 2025-09-12T02:40:01.812Z>
+The prompt builder function will handle task context retrieval by instructing Claude to use the task-master show command. This approach ensures Claude has access to all necessary task details before implementation begins. The command syntax "tm show ${taskId}" embedded in the prompt will direct Claude to first gather the complete task context, including description, requirements, and any existing implementation details, before proceeding with code changes.

+
+- [#1262](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1262) [`738ec51`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/738ec51c049a295a12839b2dfddaf05e23b8fede) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Migrate AI services to use generateObject for structured data generation
+
+  This update migrates all AI service calls from generateText to generateObject, ensuring more reliable and structured responses across all commands.
+
+  ### Key Changes:
+  - **Unified AI Service**: Replaced separate generateText implementations with a single generateObjectService that handles structured data generation
+  - **JSON Mode Support**: Added proper JSON mode configuration for providers that support it (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq)
+  - **Schema Validation**: Integrated Zod schemas for all AI-generated content with automatic validation
+  - **Provider Compatibility**: Maintained compatibility with all existing providers while leveraging their native structured output capabilities
+  - **Improved Reliability**: Structured output generation reduces parsing errors and ensures consistent data formats
+
+  ### Technical Improvements:
+  - Centralized provider configuration in `ai-providers-unified.js`
+  - Added `generateObject` support detection for each provider
+  - Implemented proper error handling for schema validation failures
+  - Maintained backward compatibility with existing prompt structures
+
+  ### Bug Fixes:
+  - Fixed subtask ID numbering issue where AI was generating inconsistent IDs (101-105, 601-603) instead of sequential numbering (1, 2, 3...)
+  - Enhanced prompt instructions to enforce proper ID generation patterns
+  - Ensured subtasks display correctly as X.1, X.2, X.3 format
+
+  This migration improves the reliability and consistency of AI-generated content throughout the Task Master application.

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

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.

+## Configuration Methods
+
+### Method 1: Environment File (.env)
+Create a `.env` file in your project root:
+
+```bash
+# Copy from .env.example
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit with your keys
+vim .env
+```
+
+### Method 2: System Environment Variables
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+# ... other keys
+```
+
+### Method 3: MCP Server Configuration
+For Claude Code integration, configure keys in `.mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "task-master-ai": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "task-master-ai"],
+      "env": {
+        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
+        "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
+        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Key Requirements
+
+### Minimum Requirements
+- **At least one** AI provider key is required
+- **ANTHROPIC_API_KEY** is recommended as the primary provider
+- **PERPLEXITY_API_KEY** is highly recommended for research features
+
+### Provider-Specific Requirements
+- **Azure OpenAI**: Requires both `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` and `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` configuration
+- **Google Vertex**: Requires `VERTEX_PROJECT_ID` and `VERTEX_LOCATION` environment variables
+- **AWS Bedrock**: Uses AWS credential chain (profiles, IAM roles, etc.) instead of API keys
+- **Ollama**: Only needs API key for remote servers with authentication
+- **CLI Providers**: Gemini CLI, Grok CLI, and Claude Code use OAuth/CLI config instead of API keys
+
+## Model Configuration
+
+After setting up API keys, configure which models to use:
+
+```bash
+# Interactive model setup
+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
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Never commit API keys** to version control
+2. **Use .env files** and add them to `.gitignore`
+3. **Rotate keys regularly** especially if compromised
+4. **Use minimal permissions** for service accounts
+5. **Monitor usage** to detect unauthorized access
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Key Validation
+```bash
+# Check if keys are properly configured
+task-master models
+
+# Test specific provider
+task-master add-task --prompt="test task" --model=claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+- **Invalid key format**: Check the expected format for each provider
+- **Insufficient permissions**: Ensure keys have necessary API access
+- **Rate limits**: Some providers have usage limits
+- **Regional restrictions**: Some models may not be available in all regions
+

 Can you analyze the complexity of our tasks to help me understand which ones need to be broken down further?
 ```
 
+The agent will use the `analyze_project_complexity` MCP tool, or you can run it directly with the CLI command:
+```bash
+task-master analyze-complexity

+
+For more comprehensive analysis using your configured research model, you can use:
+```bash
+task-master analyze-complexity --research

+The `--research` flag uses whatever research model you have configured in `.taskmaster/config.json` (configurable via `task-master models --setup`) for research-backed complexity analysis, providing more informed recommendations.
