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

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

+### Synchronous Tests
+- **NEVER use async/await in test functions** unless testing actual asynchronous operations
+- Use synchronous top-level imports instead of dynamic `await import()`
+- Test bodies should be synchronous whenever possible
+- Example:

+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
+

+This guide covers how to use Task Master with Claude Code AI SDK integration for enhanced AI-powered development workflows.
+
+## Overview
+
+Claude Code integration allows Task Master to leverage the Claude Code CLI for AI operations without requiring direct API keys. The integration uses OAuth tokens managed by the Claude Code CLI itself.
+
+## Authentication Setup
+
+The Claude Code provider uses token authentication managed by the Claude Code CLI.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **Install Claude Code CLI** (if not already installed):
+
+   ```bash
+   # Installation method depends on your system
+   # Follow Claude Code documentation for installation
+   ```
+
+2. **Set up OAuth token** using Claude Code CLI:
+
+   ```bash
+   claude setup-token
+   ```
+
+   This command will:
+   - Guide you through OAuth authentication
+   - Store the token securely for CLI usage
+   - Enable Task Master to use Claude Code without manual API key configuration
+
+### Authentication Priority
+
+Task Master will attempt authentication in this order:
+
+1. **Environment Variable** (optional): `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`
+   - Useful for CI/CD environments or when you want to override the default token
+   - Not required if you've set up the CLI token
+
+2. **Claude Code CLI Token** (recommended): Token managed by `claude setup-token`
+   - Automatically used when available
+   - Most convenient for local development
+
+3. **Fallback**: Error if neither is available
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Add Claude Code to your Task Master configuration:
+
+```javascript
+// In your .taskmaster/config.json or via task-master models command
+{
+  "models": {
+    "main": "claude-code:sonnet",      // Use Claude Code with Sonnet
+    "research": "perplexity-llama-3.1-sonar-large-128k-online",
+    "fallback": "claude-code:opus"     // Use Claude Code with Opus as fallback
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Supported Models
+
+- `claude-code:sonnet` - Claude 3.5 Sonnet via Claude Code CLI
+- `claude-code:opus` - Claude 3 Opus via Claude Code CLI
+
+### Environment Variables (Optional)
+
+While not required, you can optionally set:
+
+```bash
+export CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN="your_oauth_token_here"
+```
+
+This is only needed in specific scenarios like:
+
+- CI/CD pipelines
+- Docker containers
+- When you want to use a different token than the CLI default
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Task Operations
+
+```bash
+# Use Claude Code for task operations
+task-master add-task --prompt="Implement user authentication system" --research
+task-master expand --id=1 --research
+task-master update-task --id=1.1 --prompt="Add JWT token validation"
+```
+
+### Model Configuration Commands
+
+```bash
+# Set Claude Code as main model
+task-master models --set-main claude-code:sonnet
+
+# Use interactive setup
+task-master models --setup
+# Then select "claude-code" from the provider list
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. "Claude Code CLI not available" Error
+
+**Problem**: Task Master cannot connect to Claude Code CLI.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+- Ensure Claude Code CLI is installed and in your PATH
+- Run `claude setup-token` to configure authentication
+- Verify Claude Code CLI works: `claude --help`
+
+#### 2. Authentication Failures
+
+**Problem**: Token authentication is failing.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+- Re-run `claude setup-token` to refresh your OAuth token
+- Check if your token has expired
+- Verify Claude Code CLI can authenticate: try a simple `claude` command
+
+#### 3. Model Not Available
+
+**Problem**: Specified Claude Code model is not supported.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+- Use supported models: `sonnet` or `opus`
+- Check model availability: `task-master models --list`
+- Verify your Claude Code CLI has access to the requested model
+
+### Debug Steps
+
+1. **Test Claude Code CLI directly**:
+
+   ```bash
+   claude --help
+   # Should show help without errors
+   ```
+
+2. **Test authentication**:
+
+   ```bash
+   claude setup-token --verify
+   # Should confirm token is valid
+   ```
+
+3. **Test Task Master integration**:
+
+   ```bash
+   task-master models --test claude-code:sonnet
+   # Should successfully connect and test the model
+   ```
+
+4. **Check logs**:
+   - Task Master logs will show detailed error messages
+   - Use `--verbose` flag for more detailed output
+
+### Environment-Specific Configuration
+
+#### Docker/Containers
+
+When running in Docker, you'll need to:
+
+1. Install Claude Code CLI in your container
+2. Set up authentication via environment variable:
+
+   ```dockerfile
+   ENV CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+   ```
+
+#### CI/CD Pipelines
+
+For automated environments:
+
+1. Set up a service account token or use environment variables
+2. Ensure Claude Code CLI is available in the pipeline environment
+3. Configure authentication before running Task Master commands
+
+## Integration with AI SDK
+
+Task Master's Claude Code integration uses the official `ai-sdk-provider-claude-code` package, providing:
+
+- **Streaming Support**: Real-time token streaming for interactive experiences
+- **Full AI SDK Compatibility**: Works with generateText, streamText, and other AI SDK functions
+- **Automatic Error Handling**: Graceful degradation when Claude Code is unavailable
+- **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript support with proper type definitions
+
+### Example AI SDK Usage
+
+```javascript
+import { generateText } from 'ai';
+import { ClaudeCodeProvider } from './src/ai-providers/claude-code.js';
+
+const provider = new ClaudeCodeProvider();
+const client = provider.getClient();
+
+const result = await generateText({
+  model: client('sonnet'),
+  messages: [
+    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello Claude!' }
+  ]
+});
+
+console.log(result.text);
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- OAuth tokens are managed securely by Claude Code CLI
+- No API keys need to be stored in your project files
+- Tokens are automatically refreshed by the Claude Code CLI
+- Environment variables should only be used in secure environments
+
+## Getting Help
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. Check the Claude Code CLI documentation
+2. Verify your authentication setup with `claude setup-token --verify`
+3. Review Task Master logs for detailed error messages
+4. Open an issue with both Task Master and Claude Code version information

+### MCP Timeout Configuration
+
+Long-running AI operations in taskmaster-ai can exceed the default 60-second MCP timeout. Operations like `parse_prd`, `expand_task`, `research`, and `analyze_project_complexity` may take 2-5 minutes to complete.
+
+#### Adding Timeout Configuration
+
+Add a `timeout` parameter to your MCP configuration to extend the timeout limit. The timeout configuration works identically across MCP clients including Cursor, Windsurf, and RooCode:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "task-master-ai": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
+      "timeout": 300,
+      "env": {
+        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Configuration Details:**
+- **`timeout: 300`** - Sets timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
+- **Value range**: 1-3600 seconds (1 second to 1 hour)
+- **Recommended**: 300 seconds provides sufficient time for most AI operations
+- **Format**: Integer value in seconds (not milliseconds)
+
+#### Automatic Setup
+
+When adding taskmaster rules for supported editors, the timeout configuration is automatically included:
+
+```bash
+# Automatically includes timeout configuration
+task-master rules add cursor
+task-master rules add roo
+task-master rules add windsurf
+task-master rules add vscode
+```
+
+#### Troubleshooting Timeouts
+
+If you're still experiencing timeout errors:
+
+1. **Verify configuration**: Check that `timeout: 300` is present in your MCP config
+2. **Restart editor**: Restart your editor after making configuration changes
+3. **Increase timeout**: For very complex operations, try `timeout: 600` (10 minutes)
+4. **Check API keys**: Ensure required API keys are properly configured
+
+**Expected behavior:**
+- **Before fix**: Operations fail after 60 seconds with `MCP request timed out after 60000ms`
+- **After fix**: Operations complete successfully within the configured timeout limit

+
+### Codex CLI Provider
+
+The Codex CLI provider integrates Task Master with OpenAI's Codex CLI, allowing you to use ChatGPT subscription models via OAuth authentication.
+
+1. **Prerequisites**:
+   - Node.js >= 18
+   - Codex CLI >= 0.42.0 (>= 0.44.0 recommended)
+   - ChatGPT subscription: Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise (for OAuth access to GPT-5 models)
+
+2. **Installation**:
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g @openai/codex
+   ```
+
+3. **Authentication** (OAuth - Primary Method):
+   ```bash
+   codex login
+   ```
+   This will open a browser window for OAuth authentication with your ChatGPT account. Once authenticated, Task Master will automatically use these credentials.
+
+4. **Optional API Key Method**:
+   While OAuth is the primary and recommended authentication method, you can optionally set an OpenAI API key:
+   ```bash
+   # In .env file
+   OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key-here
+   ```
+   **Note**: The API key will only be injected if explicitly provided. OAuth is always preferred.
+
+5. **Configuration**:
+   ```json
+   // In .taskmaster/config.json
+   {
+     "models": {
+       "main": {
+         "provider": "codex-cli",
+         "modelId": "gpt-5-codex",
+         "maxTokens": 128000,
+         "temperature": 0.2
+       },
+       "fallback": {
+         "provider": "codex-cli",
+         "modelId": "gpt-5",
+         "maxTokens": 128000,
+         "temperature": 0.2
+       }
+     },
+     "codexCli": {
+       "allowNpx": true,
+       "skipGitRepoCheck": true,
+       "approvalMode": "on-failure",
+       "sandboxMode": "workspace-write"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+6. **Available Models**:
+   - `gpt-5` - Latest GPT-5 model (272K max input, 128K max output)
+   - `gpt-5-codex` - GPT-5 optimized for agentic software engineering (272K max input, 128K max output)
+
+7. **Codex CLI Settings (`codexCli` section)**:
+
+   The `codexCli` section in your configuration file supports the following options:
+
+   - **`allowNpx`** (boolean, default: `false`): Allow fallback to `npx @openai/codex` if CLI not found on PATH
+   - **`skipGitRepoCheck`** (boolean, default: `false`): Skip git repository safety check (recommended for CI/non-repo usage)
+   - **`approvalMode`** (string): Control command execution approval
+     - `"untrusted"`: Require approval for all commands
+     - `"on-failure"`: Only require approval after a command fails (default)
+     - `"on-request"`: Approve only when explicitly requested
+     - `"never"`: Never require approval (not recommended)
+   - **`sandboxMode`** (string): Control filesystem access
+     - `"read-only"`: Read-only access
+     - `"workspace-write"`: Allow writes to workspace (default)
+     - `"danger-full-access"`: Full filesystem access (use with caution)
+   - **`codexPath`** (string, optional): Custom path to codex CLI executable
+   - **`cwd`** (string, optional): Working directory for Codex CLI execution
+   - **`fullAuto`** (boolean, optional): Fully automatic mode (equivalent to `--full-auto` flag)
+   - **`dangerouslyBypassApprovalsAndSandbox`** (boolean, optional): Bypass all safety checks (dangerous!)
+   - **`color`** (string, optional): Color handling - `"always"`, `"never"`, or `"auto"`
+   - **`outputLastMessageFile`** (string, optional): Write last agent message to specified file
+   - **`verbose`** (boolean, optional): Enable verbose logging
+   - **`env`** (object, optional): Additional environment variables for Codex CLI
+
+8. **Command-Specific Settings** (optional):
+   You can override settings for specific Task Master commands:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "codexCli": {
+       "allowNpx": true,
+       "approvalMode": "on-failure",
+       "commandSpecific": {
+         "parse-prd": {
+           "approvalMode": "never",
+           "verbose": true
+         },
+         "expand": {
+           "sandboxMode": "read-only"
+         }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+9. **Codebase Features**:
+   The Codex CLI provider is codebase-capable, meaning it can analyze and interact with your project files. Codebase analysis features are automatically enabled when using `codex-cli` as your provider and `enableCodebaseAnalysis` is set to `true` in your global configuration (default).
+
+10. **Setup Commands**:
+    ```bash
+    # Set Codex CLI for main role
+    task-master models --set-main gpt-5-codex --codex-cli
+
+    # Set Codex CLI for fallback role
+    task-master models --set-fallback gpt-5 --codex-cli
+
+    # Verify configuration
+    task-master models
+    ```
+
+11. **Troubleshooting**:
+
+    **"codex: command not found" error:**
+    - Install Codex CLI globally: `npm install -g @openai/codex`
+    - Verify installation: `codex --version`
+    - Alternatively, enable `allowNpx: true` in your codexCli configuration
+
+    **"Not logged in" errors:**
+    - Run `codex login` to authenticate with your ChatGPT account
+    - Verify authentication status: `codex` (opens interactive CLI)
+
+    **"Old version" warnings:**
+    - Check version: `codex --version`
+    - Upgrade: `npm install -g @openai/codex@latest`
+    - Minimum version: 0.42.0, recommended: >= 0.44.0
+
+    **"Model not available" errors:**
+    - Only `gpt-5` and `gpt-5-codex` are available via OAuth subscription
+    - Verify your ChatGPT subscription is active
+    - For other OpenAI models, use the standard `openai` provider with an API key
+
+    **API key not being used:**
+    - API key is only injected when explicitly provided
+    - OAuth authentication is always preferred
+    - If you want to use an API key, ensure `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set in your `.env` file
+
+12. **Important Notes**:
+    - OAuth subscription required for model access (no API key needed for basic operation)
+    - Limited to OAuth-available models only (`gpt-5` and `gpt-5-codex`)
+    - Pricing information is not available for OAuth models (shows as "Unknown" in cost calculations)
+    - See [Codex CLI Provider Documentation](./providers/codex-cli.md) for more details

+# Codex CLI Provider Usage Examples
+
+This guide provides practical examples of using Task Master with the Codex CLI provider.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before using these examples, ensure you have:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Codex CLI installed
+npm install -g @openai/codex
+
+# 2. Authenticated with ChatGPT
+codex login
+
+# 3. Codex CLI configured as your provider
+task-master models --set-main gpt-5-codex --codex-cli
+```
+
+## Example 1: Basic Task Creation
+
+Use Codex CLI to create tasks from a simple description:
+
+```bash
+# Add a task with AI-powered enhancement
+task-master add-task --prompt="Implement user authentication with JWT" --research
+```
+
+**What happens**:
+1. Task Master sends your prompt to GPT-5-Codex via the CLI
+2. The AI analyzes your request and generates a detailed task
+3. The task is added to your `.taskmaster/tasks/tasks.json`
+4. OAuth credentials are automatically used (no API key needed)
+
+## Example 2: Parsing a Product Requirements Document
+
+Create a comprehensive task list from a PRD:
+
+```bash
+# Create your PRD
+cat > my-feature.txt <<EOF
+# User Profile Feature
+
+## Requirements
+1. Users can view their profile
+2. Users can edit their information
+3. Profile pictures can be uploaded
+4. Email verification required
+
+## Technical Constraints
+- Use React for frontend
+- Node.js/Express backend
+- PostgreSQL database
+EOF
+
+# Parse with Codex CLI
+task-master parse-prd my-feature.txt --num-tasks 12
+```
+
+**What happens**:
+1. GPT-5-Codex reads and analyzes your PRD
+2. Generates structured tasks with dependencies
+3. Creates subtasks for complex items
+4. Saves everything to `.taskmaster/tasks/`
+
+## Example 3: Expanding Tasks with Research
+
+Break down a complex task into detailed subtasks:
+
+```bash
+# First, show your current tasks
+task-master list
+
+# Expand a specific task (e.g., task 1.2)
+task-master expand --id=1.2 --research --force
+```
+
+**What happens**:
+1. Codex CLI uses GPT-5 for research-level analysis
+2. Breaks down the task into logical subtasks
+3. Adds implementation details and test strategies
+4. Updates the task with dependency information
+
+## Example 4: Analyzing Project Complexity
+
+Get AI-powered insights into your project's task complexity:
+
+```bash
+# Analyze all tasks
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# View the complexity report
+task-master complexity-report
+```
+
+**What happens**:
+1. GPT-5 analyzes each task's scope and requirements
+2. Assigns complexity scores and estimates subtask counts
+3. Generates a detailed report
+4. Saves to `.taskmaster/reports/task-complexity-report.json`
+
+## Example 5: Using Custom Codex CLI Settings
+
+Configure Codex CLI behavior for different commands:
+
+```json
+// In .taskmaster/config.json
+{
+  "models": {
+    "main": {
+      "provider": "codex-cli",
+      "modelId": "gpt-5-codex",
+      "maxTokens": 128000,
+      "temperature": 0.2
+    }
+  },
+  "codexCli": {
+    "allowNpx": true,
+    "approvalMode": "on-failure",
+    "sandboxMode": "workspace-write",
+    "commandSpecific": {
+      "parse-prd": {
+        "verbose": true,
+        "approvalMode": "never"
+      },
+      "expand": {
+        "sandboxMode": "read-only",
+        "verbose": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+# Now parse-prd runs with verbose output and no approvals
+task-master parse-prd requirements.txt
+
+# Expand runs with read-only mode
+task-master expand --id=2.1
+```
+
+## Example 6: Workflow - Building a Feature End-to-End
+
+Complete workflow from PRD to implementation tracking:
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Initialize project
+task-master init
+
+# Step 2: Set up Codex CLI
+task-master models --set-main gpt-5-codex --codex-cli
+task-master models --set-fallback gpt-5 --codex-cli
+
+# Step 3: Create PRD
+cat > feature-prd.txt <<EOF
+# Authentication System
+
+Implement a complete authentication system with:
+- User registration
+- Email verification
+- Password reset
+- Two-factor authentication
+- Session management
+EOF
+
+# Step 4: Parse PRD into tasks
+task-master parse-prd feature-prd.txt --num-tasks 8
+
+# Step 5: Analyze complexity
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# Step 6: Expand complex tasks
+task-master expand --all --research
+
+# Step 7: Start working
+task-master next
+# Shows: Task 1.1: User registration database schema
+
+# Step 8: Mark completed as you work
+task-master set-status --id=1.1 --status=done
+
+# Step 9: Continue to next task
+task-master next
+```
+
+## Example 7: Multi-Role Configuration
+
+Use Codex CLI for main tasks, Perplexity for research:
+
+```json
+// In .taskmaster/config.json
+{
+  "models": {
+    "main": {
+      "provider": "codex-cli",
+      "modelId": "gpt-5-codex",
+      "maxTokens": 128000,
+      "temperature": 0.2
+    },
+    "research": {
+      "provider": "perplexity",
+      "modelId": "sonar-pro",
+      "maxTokens": 8700,
+      "temperature": 0.1
+    },
+    "fallback": {
+      "provider": "codex-cli",
+      "modelId": "gpt-5",
+      "maxTokens": 128000,
+      "temperature": 0.2
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+# Main task operations use GPT-5-Codex
+task-master add-task --prompt="Build REST API endpoint"
+
+# Research operations use Perplexity
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# Fallback to GPT-5 if needed
+task-master expand --id=3.2 --force
+```
+
+## Example 8: Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+### Issue: Codex CLI not found
+
+```bash
+# Check if Codex is installed
+codex --version
+
+# If not found, install globally
+npm install -g @openai/codex
+
+# Or enable npx fallback in config
+cat >> .taskmaster/config.json <<EOF
+{
+  "codexCli": {
+    "allowNpx": true
+  }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+### Issue: Not authenticated
+
+```bash
+# Check auth status
+codex
+# Use /about command to see auth info
+
+# Re-authenticate if needed
+codex login
+```
+
+### Issue: Want more verbose output
+
+```bash
+# Enable verbose mode in config
+cat >> .taskmaster/config.json <<EOF
+{
+  "codexCli": {
+    "verbose": true
+  }
+}
+EOF
+
+# Or for specific commands
+task-master parse-prd my-prd.txt
+# (verbose output shows detailed Codex CLI interactions)
+```
+
+## Example 9: CI/CD Integration
+
+Use Codex CLI in automated workflows:
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/task-analysis.yml
+name: Analyze Task Complexity
+
+on:
+  push:
+    paths:
+      - '.taskmaster/**'

+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use OAuth for Development
+
+```bash
+# For local development, use OAuth (no API key needed)
+codex login
+task-master models --set-main gpt-5-codex --codex-cli
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Approval Modes Appropriately
+
+```json
+{
+  "codexCli": {
+    "approvalMode": "on-failure",  // Safe default
+    "sandboxMode": "workspace-write"  // Restricts to project directory
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Use Command-Specific Settings
+
+```json
+{
+  "codexCli": {
+    "commandSpecific": {
+      "parse-prd": {
+        "approvalMode": "never",  // PRD parsing is safe
+        "verbose": true
+      },
+      "expand": {
+        "approvalMode": "on-request",  // More cautious for task expansion
+        "verbose": false
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Leverage Codebase Analysis
+
+```json
+{
+  "global": {
+    "enableCodebaseAnalysis": true  // Let Codex analyze your code
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Handle Errors Gracefully
+
+```bash
+# Always configure a fallback model
+task-master models --set-fallback gpt-5 --codex-cli
+
+# Or use a different provider as fallback
+task-master models --set-fallback claude-3-5-sonnet
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Read the [Codex CLI Provider Documentation](../providers/codex-cli.md)
+- Explore [Configuration Options](../configuration.md#codex-cli-provider)
+- Check out [Command Reference](../command-reference.md)

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern: Daily Development Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Morning: Review tasks
+task-master list
+
+# Get next task
+task-master next
+
+# Work on task...
+
+# Update task with notes
+task-master update-subtask --id=2.3 --prompt="Implemented authentication middleware"
+
+# Mark complete
+task-master set-status --id=2.3 --status=done
+
+# Repeat
+```
+
+### Pattern: Feature Planning
+
+```bash
+# Write feature spec
+vim new-feature.txt
+
+# Generate tasks
+task-master parse-prd new-feature.txt --num-tasks 10
+
+# Analyze and expand
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+task-master expand --all --research --force
+
+# Review and adjust
+task-master list
+```
+
+### Pattern: Sprint Planning
+
+```bash
+# Parse sprint requirements
+task-master parse-prd sprint-requirements.txt
+
+# Analyze complexity
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# View report
+task-master complexity-report
+
+# Adjust task estimates based on complexity scores
+```

+# Codex CLI Provider
+
+The `codex-cli` provider integrates Task Master with OpenAI's Codex CLI via the community AI SDK provider [`ai-sdk-provider-codex-cli`](https://github.com/ben-vargas/ai-sdk-provider-codex-cli). It uses your ChatGPT subscription (OAuth) via `codex login`, with optional `OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY` support.
+
+## Why Use Codex CLI?
+
+The primary benefits of using the `codex-cli` provider include:
+
+- **Use Latest OpenAI Models**: Access to cutting-edge models like GPT-5 and GPT-5-Codex via ChatGPT subscription
+- **OAuth Authentication**: No API key management needed - authenticate once with `codex login`
+- **Built-in Tool Execution**: Native support for command execution, file changes, MCP tools, and web search
+- **Native JSON Schema Support**: Structured output generation without post-processing
+- **Approval/Sandbox Modes**: Fine-grained control over command execution and filesystem access for safety
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Get up and running with Codex CLI in 3 steps:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install Codex CLI globally
+npm install -g @openai/codex
+
+# 2. Authenticate with your ChatGPT account
+codex login
+
+# 3. Configure Task Master to use Codex CLI
+task-master models --set-main gpt-5-codex --codex-cli
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Node.js**: >= 18.0.0
+- **Codex CLI**: >= 0.42.0 (>= 0.44.0 recommended)
+- **ChatGPT Subscription**: Required for OAuth access (Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise)
+- **Task Master**: >= 0.27.3 (version with Codex CLI support)
+
+### Checking Your Versions
+
+```bash
+# Check Node.js version
+node --version
+
+# Check Codex CLI version
+codex --version
+
+# Check Task Master version
+task-master --version
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### Install Codex CLI
+
+```bash
+# Install globally via npm
+npm install -g @openai/codex
+
+# Verify installation
+codex --version
+```
+
+Expected output: `v0.44.0` or higher
+
+### Install Task Master (if not already installed)
+
+```bash
+# Install globally
+npm install -g task-master-ai
+
+# Or install in your project
+npm install --save-dev task-master-ai
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### OAuth Authentication (Primary Method - Recommended)
+
+The Codex CLI provider is designed to use OAuth authentication with your ChatGPT subscription:
+
+```bash
+# Launch Codex CLI and authenticate
+codex login
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Open a browser window for OAuth authentication
+2. Prompt you to log in with your ChatGPT account
+3. Store authentication credentials locally
+4. Allow Task Master to automatically use these credentials
+
+To verify your authentication:
+```bash
+# Open interactive Codex CLI
+codex
+
+# Use /about command to see auth status
+/about
+```
+
+### Optional: API Key Method
+
+While OAuth is the primary and recommended method, you can optionally use an OpenAI API key:
+
+```bash
+# In your .env file
+OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key-here
+```
+
+**Important Notes**:
+- The API key will **only** be injected when explicitly provided
+- OAuth authentication is always preferred when available
+- Using an API key doesn't provide access to subscription-only models like GPT-5-Codex
+- For full OpenAI API access with non-subscription models, consider using the standard `openai` provider instead
+- `OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY` is specific to the codex-cli provider to avoid conflicts with the `openai` provider's `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+
+## Available Models
+
+The Codex CLI provider supports only models available through ChatGPT subscription:
+
+| Model ID | Description | Max Input Tokens | Max Output Tokens |
+|----------|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
+| `gpt-5` | Latest GPT-5 model | 272K | 128K |
+| `gpt-5-codex` | GPT-5 optimized for agentic software engineering | 272K | 128K |
+
+**Note**: These models are only available via OAuth subscription through Codex CLI (ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plans). For other OpenAI models, use the standard `openai` provider with an API key.
+
+**Research Capabilities**: Both GPT-5 models support web search tools, making them suitable for the `research` role in addition to `main` and `fallback` roles.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+Add Codex CLI to your `.taskmaster/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{

+```
+
+### Using Codex CLI with Task Master Commands
+
+Once configured, use Task Master commands as normal:
+
+```bash
+# Parse a PRD with Codex CLI
+task-master parse-prd my-requirements.txt
+
+# Analyze project complexity
+task-master analyze-complexity --research
+
+# Expand a task into subtasks
+task-master expand --id=1.2
+
+# Add a new task with AI assistance
+task-master add-task --prompt="Implement user authentication" --research
+```
+
+The provider will automatically use your OAuth credentials when Codex CLI is configured.
+
+## Codebase Features
+
+The Codex CLI provider is **codebase-capable**, meaning it can analyze and interact with your project files. This enables advanced features like:
+
+- **Code Analysis**: Understanding your project structure and dependencies
+- **Intelligent Suggestions**: Context-aware task recommendations
+- **File Operations**: Reading and analyzing project files for better task generation
+- **Pattern Recognition**: Identifying common patterns and best practices in your codebase
+
+### Enabling Codebase Analysis
+
+Codebase analysis is automatically enabled when:
+1. Your provider is set to `codex-cli`
+2. `enableCodebaseAnalysis` is `true` in your global configuration (default)
+
+To verify or configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "global": {
+    "enableCodebaseAnalysis": true
+  }
+}
+```
+

+   ```
+
+2. **Upgrade to latest version**:
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g @openai/codex@latest
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify upgrade**:
+   ```bash
+   codex --version
+   ```
+   Should show >= 0.44.0
+
+### "Model not available" Errors
+
+**Symptoms**: Error indicating the requested model is not available.
+
+**Causes and Solutions**:
+
+1. **Using unsupported model**:
+   - Only `gpt-5` and `gpt-5-codex` are available via Codex CLI
+   - For other OpenAI models, use the standard `openai` provider
+
+2. **Subscription not active**:
+   - Verify your ChatGPT subscription is active
+   - Check subscription status at <https://platform.openai.com>
+
+3. **Wrong provider selected**:
+   - Verify you're using `--codex-cli` flag when setting models
+   - Check `.taskmaster/config.json` shows `"provider": "codex-cli"`
+
+### API Key Not Being Used
+
+**Symptoms**: You've set `OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY` but it's not being used.
+
+**Expected Behavior**:
+- OAuth authentication is always preferred
+- API key is only injected when explicitly provided
+- API key doesn't grant access to subscription-only models
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Verify OAuth is working**:
+   ```bash
+   codex
+   # Check /about for auth status
+   ```
+
+2. **If you want to force API key usage**:
+   - This is not recommended with Codex CLI
+   - Consider using the standard `openai` provider instead
+
+3. **Verify .env file is being loaded**:
+   ```bash
+   # Check if .env exists in project root
+   ls -la .env
+
+   # Verify OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY is set
+   grep OPENAI_CODEX_API_KEY .env
+   ```
+
+### Approval/Sandbox Issues
+
+**Symptoms**: Commands are blocked or filesystem access is denied.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. **Adjust approval mode**:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "codexCli": {
+       "approvalMode": "on-request"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Adjust sandbox mode**:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "codexCli": {
+       "sandboxMode": "workspace-write"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **For fully automated workflows** (use cautiously):
+   ```json
+   {
+     "codexCli": {
+       "fullAuto": true
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **OAuth subscription required**: No API key needed for basic operation, but requires active ChatGPT subscription
+- **Limited model selection**: Only `gpt-5` and `gpt-5-codex` available via OAuth
+- **Pricing information**: Not available for OAuth models (shows as "Unknown" in cost calculations)
+- **No automatic dependency**: The `@openai/codex` package is not added to Task Master's dependencies - install it globally or enable `allowNpx`
+- **Codebase analysis**: Automatically enabled when using `codex-cli` provider
+- **Safety first**: Default settings prioritize safety with `approvalMode: "on-failure"` and `sandboxMode: "workspace-write"`

+- ✅ **JSON Mode** - Automatic JSON extraction from responses
+- ✅ **Abort Signals** - Proper cancellation support
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli
+# or
+yarn add @tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Install the Grok CLI:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g grok-cli
+   # or follow xAI's installation instructions
+   ```
+
+2. Set up authentication:
+
+   ```bash
+   export GROK_CLI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+   # or configure via grok CLI: grok config set api-key your-key
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { grokCli } from '@tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli';
+import { generateText } from 'ai';
+
+const result = await generateText({
+  model: grokCli('grok-3-latest'),
+  prompt: 'Write a haiku about TypeScript'
+});
+
+console.log(result.text);
+```
+
+### Streaming
+
+```typescript
+import { grokCli } from '@tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli';
+import { streamText } from 'ai';
+
+const { textStream } = await streamText({
+  model: grokCli('grok-4-latest'),
+  prompt: 'Explain quantum computing'
+});
+
+for await (const delta of textStream) {
+  process.stdout.write(delta);
+}
+```
+
+### JSON Mode
+
+```typescript
+import { grokCli } from '@tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli';
+import { generateObject } from 'ai';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const result = await generateObject({
+  model: grokCli('grok-3-latest'),
+  schema: z.object({
+    name: z.string(),
+    age: z.number(),
+    hobbies: z.array(z.string())
+  }),
+  prompt: 'Generate a person profile'
+});
+
+console.log(result.object);
+```
+
+## Supported Models
+
+- `grok-3-latest` - Grok 3 (latest version)
+- `grok-4-latest` - Grok 4 (latest version)
+- `grok-4` - Grok 4 (stable)
+- Custom model strings supported
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Provider Settings
+
+```typescript
+import { createGrokCli } from '@tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli';
+
+const grok = createGrokCli({
+  apiKey: 'your-api-key', // Optional if set via env/CLI
+  timeout: 120000, // 2 minutes default
+  workingDirectory: '/path/to/project', // Optional
+  baseURL: 'https://api.x.ai' // Optional
+});
+```
+
+### Model Settings
+
+```typescript
+const model = grok('grok-4-latest', {
+  timeout: 300000, // 5 minutes for grok-4
+  // Other CLI-specific settings
+});
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The provider includes comprehensive error handling:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  isAuthenticationError,
+  isTimeoutError,
+  isInstallationError
+} from '@tm/ai-sdk-provider-grok-cli';
+
+try {
+  const result = await generateText({
+    model: grokCli('grok-4-latest'),
+    prompt: 'Hello!'
+  });
+} catch (error) {
+  if (isAuthenticationError(error)) {
+    console.error('Authentication failed:', error.message);
+  } else if (isTimeoutError(error)) {
+    console.error('Request timed out:', error.message);
+  } else if (isInstallationError(error)) {
+    console.error('Grok CLI not installed or not found in PATH');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Start development mode (keep running during development)
+npm run dev
+
+# Type check
+npm run typecheck
+
+# Run tests (requires build first)
+NODE_ENV=production npm run build
+npm test
+```
+
+**Important**: Always run `npm run dev` and keep it running during development. This ensures proper compilation and hot-reloading of TypeScript files.
