-Added automatic codebase analysis for Gemini CLI provider in parse-prd, and analyze-complexity, add-task, udpate-task, update, update-subtask commands
-When using Gemini CLI 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

-Users can now control whether codebase analysis features (Claude Code and Gemini CLI integration) are enabled through environment variables, MCP configuration, or project config files.
-
-Priority order: .env > MCP session env > .taskmaster/config.json.
-
-Set `TASKMASTER_ENABLE_CODEBASE_ANALYSIS=false` in `.env` to disable codebase analysis prompts and tool integration.

-feat(move): improve cross-tag move UX and safety

-- CLI: print "Next Steps" tips after cross-tag moves that used --ignore-dependencies (validate/fix guidance)
-- CLI: show dedicated help block on ID collisions (destination tag already has the ID)
-- Core: add structured suggestions to TASK_ALREADY_EXISTS errors
-- MCP: map ID collision errors to TASK_ALREADY_EXISTS and include suggestions
-- Tests: cover MCP options, error suggestions, CLI tips printing, and integration error payload suggestions

+# 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')

+      });
+  }
+
+  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.

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.

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.

+- [#1162](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/1162) [`4dad2fd`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/4dad2fd613ceac56a65ae9d3c1c03092b8860ac9) Thanks [@Crunchyman-ralph](https://github.com/Crunchyman-ralph)! - Enhanced Claude Code and Google CLI integration with automatic codebase analysis for task operations
+
+  When using Claude Code as the AI provider, task management commands now automatically analyze your codebase before generating or updating tasks. This provides more accurate, context-aware implementation details that align with your project's existing architecture and patterns.
+
+  Commands contextualised:
+  - add-task
+  - update-subtask
+  - update-task
+  - update
