+Add comprehensive AI-powered research command with intelligent context gathering and interactive follow-ups.
+
+The new `research` command provides AI-powered research capabilities that automatically gather relevant project context to answer your questions. The command intelligently selects context from multiple sources and supports interactive follow-up questions in CLI mode.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Intelligent Task Discovery**: Automatically finds relevant tasks and subtasks using fuzzy search based on your query keywords, supplementing any explicitly provided task IDs
+- **Multi-Source Context**: Gathers context from tasks, files, project structure, and custom text to provide comprehensive answers
+- **Interactive Follow-ups**: CLI users can ask follow-up questions that build on the conversation history while allowing fresh context discovery for each question
+- **Flexible Detail Levels**: Choose from low (concise), medium (balanced), or high (comprehensive) response detail levels
+- **Token Transparency**: Displays detailed token breakdown showing context size, sources, and estimated costs
+- **Enhanced Display**: Syntax-highlighted code blocks and structured output with clear visual separation
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```bash
+# Basic research with auto-discovered context
+task-master research "How should I implement user authentication?"
+
+# Research with specific task context
+task-master research "What's the best approach for this?" --id=15,23.2
+
+# Research with file context and project tree
+task-master research "How does the current auth system work?" --files=src/auth.js,config/auth.json --tree
+
+# Research with custom context and low detail
+task-master research "Quick implementation steps?" --context="Using JWT tokens" --detail=low
+```
+
+**Context Sources:**
+- **Tasks**: Automatically discovers relevant tasks/subtasks via fuzzy search, plus any explicitly specified via `--id`
+- **Files**: Include specific files via `--files` for code-aware responses
+- **Project Tree**: Add `--tree` to include project structure overview
+- **Custom Context**: Provide additional context via `--context` for domain-specific information
+
+**Interactive Features (CLI only):**
+- Follow-up questions that maintain conversation history
+- Fresh fuzzy search for each follow-up to discover newly relevant tasks
+- Cumulative context building across the conversation
+- Clean visual separation between exchanges
+
+The research command integrates with the existing AI service layer and supports all configured AI providers. MCP integration provides the same functionality for programmatic access without interactive features.

+Fix critical bugs in task move functionality:
+
+- **Fixed moving tasks to become subtasks of empty parents**: When moving a task to become a subtask of a parent that had no existing subtasks (e.g., task 89 → task 98.1), the operation would fail with validation errors.
+
+- **Fixed moving subtasks between parents**: Subtasks can now be properly moved between different parent tasks, including to parents that previously had no subtasks.
+
+- **Improved comma-separated batch moves**: Multiple tasks can now be moved simultaneously using comma-separated IDs (e.g., "88,90" → "92,93") with proper error handling and atomic operations.
+
+These fixes enables proper task hierarchy reorganization for corner cases that were previously broken.

+Enhanced get-task/show command to support comma-separated task IDs for efficient batch operations
+
+**New Features:**
+- **Multiple Task Retrieval**: Pass comma-separated IDs to get/show multiple tasks at once (e.g., `task-master show 1,3,5` or MCP `get_task` with `id: "1,3,5"`)
+- **Smart Display Logic**: Single ID shows detailed view, multiple IDs show compact summary table with interactive options
+- **Batch Action Menu**: Interactive menu for multiple tasks with copy-paste ready commands for common operations (mark as done/in-progress, expand all, view dependencies, etc.)
+- **MCP Array Response**: MCP tool returns structured array of task objects for efficient AI agent context gathering
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Faster Context Gathering**: AI agents can collect multiple tasks/subtasks in one call instead of iterating
+- **Improved Workflow**: Interactive batch operations reduce repetitive command execution
+- **Better UX**: Responsive layout adapts to terminal width, maintains consistency with existing UI patterns
+- **API Efficiency**: RESTful array responses in MCP format enable more sophisticated integrations
+
+This enhancement maintains full backward compatibility while significantly improving efficiency for both human users and AI agents working with multiple tasks.

+# Context Gathering Patterns and Utilities
+
+This document outlines the standardized patterns for gathering and processing context from multiple sources in Task Master commands, particularly for AI-powered features.
+
+## Core Context Gathering Utility
+
+The `ContextGatherer` class (`scripts/modules/utils/contextGatherer.js`) provides a centralized, reusable utility for extracting context from multiple sources:
+
+### **Key Features**
+- **Multi-source Context**: Tasks, files, custom text, project file tree
+- **Token Counting**: Detailed breakdown using `gpt-tokens` library
+- **Format Support**: Different output formats (research, chat, system-prompt)
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of missing files, invalid task IDs
+- **Performance**: File size limits, depth limits for tree generation
+
+### **Usage Pattern**
+```javascript
+import { ContextGatherer } from '../utils/contextGatherer.js';
+
+// Initialize with project paths
+const gatherer = new ContextGatherer(projectRoot, tasksPath);
+
+// Gather context with detailed token breakdown
+const result = await gatherer.gather({
+    tasks: ['15', '16.2'],           // Task and subtask IDs
+    files: ['src/api.js', 'README.md'], // File paths
+    customContext: 'Additional context text',
+    includeProjectTree: true,        // Include file tree
+    format: 'research',              // Output format
+    includeTokenCounts: true         // Get detailed token breakdown
+});
+
+// Access results
+const contextString = result.context;
+const tokenBreakdown = result.tokenBreakdown;
+```
+
+### **Token Breakdown Structure**
+```javascript
+{
+    customContext: { tokens: 150, characters: 800 },
+    tasks: [
+        { id: '15', type: 'task', title: 'Task Title', tokens: 245, characters: 1200 },
+        { id: '16.2', type: 'subtask', title: 'Subtask Title', tokens: 180, characters: 900 }
+    ],
+    files: [
+        { path: 'src/api.js', tokens: 890, characters: 4500, size: '4.5 KB' }
+    ],
+    projectTree: { tokens: 320, characters: 1600 },
+    total: { tokens: 1785, characters: 8000 }
+}
+```
+
+## Fuzzy Search Integration
+
+The `FuzzyTaskSearch` class (`scripts/modules/utils/fuzzyTaskSearch.js`) provides intelligent task discovery:
+
+### **Key Features**
+- **Semantic Matching**: Uses Fuse.js for similarity scoring
+- **Purpose Categories**: Pattern-based task categorization
+- **Relevance Scoring**: High/medium/low relevance thresholds
+- **Context-Aware**: Different search configurations for different use cases
+
+### **Usage Pattern**
+```javascript
+import { FuzzyTaskSearch } from '../utils/fuzzyTaskSearch.js';
+
+// Initialize with tasks data and context
+const fuzzySearch = new FuzzyTaskSearch(tasksData.tasks, 'research');
+
+// Find relevant tasks
+const searchResults = fuzzySearch.findRelevantTasks(query, {
+    maxResults: 8,
+    includeRecent: true,
+    includeCategoryMatches: true
+});
+
+// Get task IDs for context gathering
+const taskIds = fuzzySearch.getTaskIds(searchResults);
+```
+
+## Implementation Patterns for Commands
+
+### **1. Context-Aware Command Structure**
+```javascript
+// In command action handler
+async function commandAction(prompt, options) {
+    // 1. Parameter validation and parsing
+    const taskIds = options.id ? parseTaskIds(options.id) : [];
+    const filePaths = options.files ? parseFilePaths(options.files) : [];
+    
+    // 2. Initialize context gatherer
+    const projectRoot = findProjectRoot() || '.';
+    const tasksPath = path.join(projectRoot, 'tasks', 'tasks.json');
+    const gatherer = new ContextGatherer(projectRoot, tasksPath);
+    
+    // 3. Auto-discover relevant tasks if none specified
+    if (taskIds.length === 0) {
+        const fuzzySearch = new FuzzyTaskSearch(tasksData.tasks, 'research');
+        const discoveredIds = fuzzySearch.getTaskIds(
+            fuzzySearch.findRelevantTasks(prompt)
+        );
+        taskIds.push(...discoveredIds);
+    }
+    
+    // 4. Gather context with token breakdown
+    const contextResult = await gatherer.gather({
+        tasks: taskIds,
+        files: filePaths,
+        customContext: options.context,
+        includeProjectTree: options.projectTree,
+        format: 'research',
+        includeTokenCounts: true
+    });
+    
+    // 5. Display token breakdown (for CLI)
+    if (outputFormat === 'text') {
+        displayDetailedTokenBreakdown(contextResult.tokenBreakdown);
+    }

+            `${task.type === 'subtask' ? '  ' : ''}${task.id}: ${task.tokens.toLocaleString()}`
+        ).join('\n');
+        sections.push(`Tasks (${tokenBreakdown.tasks.reduce((sum, t) => sum + t.tokens, 0).toLocaleString()}):\n${taskDetails}`);
+    }

+            `  ${file.path}: ${file.tokens.toLocaleString()} (${file.size})`
+        ).join('\n');

+    });
+    console.log(contentBox);
+    
+    console.log(chalk.green('✓ Research complete'));
+}
+```
+
+## Code Block Enhancement
+
+### **Syntax Highlighting Pattern**
+```javascript
+import { highlight } from 'cli-highlight';
+
+function processCodeBlocks(text) {
+    return text.replace(/```(\w+)?\n([\s\S]*?)```/g, (match, language, code) => {
+        try {
+            const highlighted = highlight(code.trim(), { 
+                language: language || 'javascript',
+                theme: 'default'
+            });
+            return `\n${highlighted}\n`;
+        } catch (error) {
+            return `\n${code.trim()}\n`;
+        }
+    });
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Guidelines
+
+### **When to Use Context Gathering**
+- ✅ **DO**: Use for AI-powered commands that benefit from project context
+- ✅ **DO**: Use when users might want to reference specific tasks or files
+- ✅ **DO**: Use for research, analysis, or generation commands
+- ❌ **DON'T**: Use for simple CRUD operations that don't need AI context
+
+### **Performance Considerations**
+- ✅ **DO**: Set reasonable file size limits (50KB default)
+- ✅ **DO**: Limit project tree depth (3-5 levels)
+- ✅ **DO**: Provide token counts to help users understand context size
+- ✅ **DO**: Allow users to control what context is included
+
+### **Error Handling**
+- ✅ **DO**: Gracefully handle missing files with warnings
+- ✅ **DO**: Validate task IDs and provide helpful error messages
+- ✅ **DO**: Continue processing even if some context sources fail
+- ✅ **DO**: Provide fallback behavior when context gathering fails
+
+### **Future Command Integration**
+Commands that should consider adopting this pattern:
+- `analyze-complexity` - Could benefit from file context
+- `expand-task` - Could use related task context
+- `update-task` - Could reference similar tasks for consistency
+- `add-task` - Could use project context for better task generation
+
+## Export Patterns
+
+### **Context Gatherer Module**
+```javascript
+export {
+    ContextGatherer,
+    createContextGatherer  // Factory function
+};
+```
+
+### **Fuzzy Search Module**
+```javascript
+export {
+    FuzzyTaskSearch,
+    PURPOSE_CATEGORIES,
+    RELEVANCE_THRESHOLDS
+};
+```
+
+This context gathering system provides a foundation for building more intelligent, context-aware commands that can leverage project knowledge to provide better AI-powered assistance.

@@ -154,6 +155,25 @@ Taskmaster configuration is managed through two main mechanisms:
 - 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.

 Once a task has been broken down into subtasks using `expand_task` or similar methods, follow this iterative process for implementation:

+- All feature development happens on task-specific branches
+- Direct commits to main are prohibited
+- All changes merge via Pull Requests
+
+### **Task Branch Naming**

+
+## **Complete Task Development Workflow**
+
+### **Phase 1: Task Preparation**
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure you're on main branch and pull latest
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+
+# 2. Check current branch status
+git branch  # Verify you're on main
+
+# 3. Create task-specific branch
+git checkout -b task-004  # For Task 4
+
+# 4. Set task status in Task Master
+# Use: set_task_status tool or `task-master set-status --id=4 --status=in-progress`
+```
+
+### **Phase 2: Task Analysis & Planning**
+```bash
+# 5. Get task context and expand if needed
+# Use: get_task tool or `task-master show 4`
+# Use: expand_task tool or `task-master expand --id=4 --research --force` (if complex)
+
+# 6. Identify next subtask to work on
+# Use: next_task tool or `task-master next`
+```
+
+### **Phase 3: Subtask Implementation Loop**
+For each subtask, follow this pattern:
+
+```bash
+# 7. Mark subtask as in-progress
+# Use: set_task_status tool or `task-master set-status --id=4.1 --status=in-progress`
+
+# 8. Gather context and research (if needed)
+# Use: update_subtask tool with research flag or:
+# `task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="Research findings..." --research`
+
+# 9. Collect code context through AI exploration
+# Document findings in subtask using update_subtask
+
+# 10. Implement the subtask
+# Write code, tests, documentation
+
+# 11. Update subtask with completion details
+# Use: update_subtask tool or:
+# `task-master update-subtask --id=4.1 --prompt="Implementation complete..."`
+
+# 12. Mark subtask as done
+# Use: set_task_status tool or `task-master set-status --id=4.1 --status=done`
+
+# 13. Commit the subtask implementation
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat(task-4): Complete subtask 4.1 - [Subtask Title]
+
+- Implementation details
+- Key changes made
+- Any important notes
+
+Subtask 4.1: [Brief description of what was accomplished]
+Relates to Task 4: [Main task title]"
+```
+
+### **Phase 4: Task Completion**
+```bash
+# 14. When all subtasks are complete, run final testing
+# Create test file if needed, ensure all tests pass
+npm test  # or jest, or manual testing
+
+# 15. If tests were added/modified, commit them
+git add .
+git commit -m "test(task-4): Add comprehensive tests for Task 4
+
+- Unit tests for core functionality
+- Integration tests for API endpoints
+- All tests passing
+
+Task 4: [Main task title] - Testing complete"
+
+# 16. Push the task branch
+git push origin task-004
+
+# 17. Create Pull Request
+# Title: "Task 4: [Task Title]"
+# Description should include:
+# - Task overview
+# - Subtasks completed
+# - Testing approach
+# - Any breaking changes or considerations
+```
+
+### **Phase 5: PR Merge & Cleanup**
+```bash
+# 18. Human reviews and merges PR into main
+
+# 19. Switch back to main and pull merged changes
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+
+# 20. Delete the feature branch (optional cleanup)
+git branch -d task-004
+git push origin --delete task-004
+```
+
+## **Commit Message Standards**
+
+### **Subtask Commits**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Consistent subtask commit format
+git commit -m "feat(task-4): Complete subtask 4.1 - Initialize Express server
+
+- Set up Express.js with TypeScript configuration
+- Added CORS and body parsing middleware
+- Implemented health check endpoints
+- Basic error handling middleware
+
+Subtask 4.1: Initialize project with npm and install dependencies
+Relates to Task 4: Setup Express.js Server Project"
+
+# ❌ DON'T: Vague or inconsistent commits
+git commit -m "fixed stuff"
+git commit -m "working on task"
+```
+
+### **Test Commits**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Separate test commits when substantial
+git commit -m "test(task-4): Add comprehensive tests for Express server setup
+
+- Unit tests for middleware configuration
+- Integration tests for health check endpoints
+- Mock tests for database connection
+- All tests passing with 95% coverage
+
+Task 4: Setup Express.js Server Project - Testing complete"
+```
+
+### **Commit Type Prefixes**
+- `feat(task-X):` - New feature implementation
+- `fix(task-X):` - Bug fixes
+- `test(task-X):` - Test additions/modifications
+- `docs(task-X):` - Documentation updates
+- `refactor(task-X):` - Code refactoring
+- `chore(task-X):` - Build/tooling changes
+
+## **Task Master Commands Integration**
+
+### **Essential Commands for Git Workflow**
+```bash
+# Task management
+task-master show <id>           # Get task/subtask details
+task-master next                # Find next task to work on
+task-master set-status --id=<id> --status=<status>
+task-master update-subtask --id=<id> --prompt="..." --research
+
+# Task expansion (for complex tasks)
+task-master expand --id=<id> --research --force
+
+# Progress tracking
+task-master list                # View all tasks and status
+task-master list --status=in-progress  # View active tasks
+```
+
+### **MCP Tool Equivalents**
+When using Cursor or other MCP-integrated tools:
+- `get_task` instead of `task-master show`
+- `next_task` instead of `task-master next`
+- `set_task_status` instead of `task-master set-status`
+- `update_subtask` instead of `task-master update-subtask`
+
+## **Branch Management Rules**
+
+### **Branch Protection**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Always work on task branches
+git checkout -b task-005
+# Make changes
+git commit -m "..."
+git push origin task-005
+
+# ❌ DON'T: Commit directly to main
+git checkout main
+git commit -m "..."  # NEVER do this
+```
+
+### **Keeping Branches Updated**
+```bash
+# ✅ DO: Regularly sync with main (for long-running tasks)
+git checkout task-005
+git fetch origin
+git rebase origin/main  # or merge if preferred
+
+# Resolve any conflicts and continue
+```
+
+## **Pull Request Guidelines**
+
+### **PR Title Format**
+```
+Task <ID>: <Task Title>
+
+Examples:
+Task 4: Setup Express.js Server Project
+Task 7: Implement User Authentication
+Task 12: Add Stripe Payment Integration
+```
+
+### **PR Description Template**
+```markdown

+task-master move --from=5 --to=25  # Move conflicting task
+
+# 2. Update task dependencies
+task-master add-dependency --id=6 --depends-on=5
+
+# 3. Coordinate through PR comments and task updates

+
+### **Code Conflicts**
+```bash
+# Standard Git conflict resolution
+git fetch origin
+git rebase origin/main

+### 17. Move Task (`move_task`)
+
+*   **MCP Tool:** `move_task`
+*   **CLI Command:** `task-master move [options]`
+*   **Description:** `Move a task or subtask to a new position within the task hierarchy.`
+*   **Key Parameters/Options:**
+    *   `from`: `Required. ID of the task/subtask to move (e.g., "5" or "5.2"). Can be comma-separated for multiple tasks.` (CLI: `--from <id>`)
+    *   `to`: `Required. ID of the destination (e.g., "7" or "7.3"). Must match the number of source IDs if comma-separated.` (CLI: `--to <id>`)
+    *   `file`: `Path to your Taskmaster 'tasks.json' file. Default relies on auto-detection.` (CLI: `-f, --file <file>`)
+*   **Usage:** Reorganize tasks by moving them within the hierarchy. Supports various scenarios like:
+    *   Moving a task to become a subtask
+    *   Moving a subtask to become a standalone task
+    *   Moving a subtask to a different parent
+    *   Reordering subtasks within the same parent
+    *   Moving a task to a new, non-existent ID (automatically creates placeholders)
+    *   Moving multiple tasks at once with comma-separated IDs
+*   **Validation Features:**
+    *   Allows moving tasks to non-existent destination IDs (creates placeholder tasks)
+    *   Prevents moving to existing task IDs that already have content (to avoid overwriting)
+    *   Validates that source tasks exist before attempting to move them
+    *   Maintains proper parent-child relationships
+*   **Example CLI:** `task-master move --from=5.2 --to=7.3` to move subtask 5.2 to become subtask 7.3.
+*   **Example Multi-Move:** `task-master move --from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18` to move multiple tasks to new positions.
+*   **Common Use:** Resolving merge conflicts in tasks.json when multiple team members create tasks on different branches.

+# Test Workflow & Development Process
+
+## **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
+npm run test:integration     # Integration test verification (if applicable)
+
+# Commit pattern for test updates
+git add tests/ src/**/*.test.ts
+git commit -m "test(task-X): Add comprehensive tests for Feature Y
+
+- Unit tests with 95% coverage (exceeds 90% threshold)
+- Integration tests for API endpoints
+- Test fixtures for data generation
+- Proper mocking patterns established
+
+Task X: Feature Y - Testing complete"
+```
+
+## **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

+
+# AI Usage Telemetry Integration
+
+This document outlines the standard pattern for capturing, propagating, and handling AI usage telemetry data (cost, tokens, model, etc.) across the Task Master stack. This ensures consistent telemetry for both CLI and MCP interactions.
+
+## Overview
+
+Telemetry data is generated within the unified AI service layer ([`ai-services-unified.js`](mdc:scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js)) and then passed upwards through the calling functions.
+
+- **Data Source**: [`ai-services-unified.js`](mdc:scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js) (specifically its `generateTextService`, `generateObjectService`, etc.) returns an object like `{ mainResult: AI_CALL_OUTPUT, telemetryData: TELEMETRY_OBJECT }`.
+- **`telemetryData` Object Structure**:
+  ```json
+  {
+    "timestamp": "ISO_STRING_DATE",
+    "userId": "USER_ID_FROM_CONFIG",
+    "commandName": "invoking_command_or_tool_name",
+    "modelUsed": "ai_model_id",
+    "providerName": "ai_provider_name",
+    "inputTokens": NUMBER,
+    "outputTokens": NUMBER,
+    "totalTokens": NUMBER,
+    "totalCost": NUMBER, // e.g., 0.012414
+    "currency": "USD" // e.g., "USD"
+  }
+  ```
+
+## Integration Pattern by Layer
+
+The key principle is that each layer receives telemetry data from the layer below it (if applicable) and passes it to the layer above it, or handles it for display in the case of the CLI.
+
+### 1. Core Logic Functions (e.g., in `scripts/modules/task-manager/`)
+
+Functions in this layer that invoke AI services are responsible for handling the `telemetryData` they receive from [`ai-services-unified.js`](mdc:scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js).
+
+- **Actions**:
+    1.  Call the appropriate AI service function (e.g., `generateObjectService`).
+        -   Pass `commandName` (e.g., `add-task`, `expand-task`) and `outputType` (e.g., `cli` or `mcp`) in the `params` object to the AI service. The `outputType` can be derived from context (e.g., presence of `mcpLog`).
+    2.  The AI service returns an object, e.g., `aiServiceResponse = { mainResult: {/*AI output*/}, telemetryData: {/*telemetry data*/} }`.
+    3.  Extract `aiServiceResponse.mainResult` for the core processing.
+    4.  **Must return an object that includes `aiServiceResponse.telemetryData`**.
+        Example: `return { operationSpecificData: /*...*/, telemetryData: aiServiceResponse.telemetryData };`
+
+- **CLI Output Handling (If Applicable)**:
+    -   If the core function also handles CLI output (e.g., it has an `outputFormat` parameter that can be `'text'` or `'cli'`):
+        1.  Check if `outputFormat === 'text'` (or `'cli'`).
+        2.  If so, and if `aiServiceResponse.telemetryData` is available, call `displayAiUsageSummary(aiServiceResponse.telemetryData, 'cli')` from [`scripts/modules/ui.js`](mdc:scripts/modules/ui.js).
+        - This ensures telemetry is displayed directly to CLI users after the main command output.
+
+- **Example Snippet (Core Logic in `scripts/modules/task-manager/someAiAction.js`)**:
+  ```javascript
+  import { generateObjectService } from '../ai-services-unified.js';
+  import { displayAiUsageSummary } from '../ui.js';
+
+  async function performAiRelatedAction(params, context, outputFormat = 'text') {
+    const { commandNameFromContext, /* other context vars */ } = context;
+    let aiServiceResponse = null;
+

+  }
+  ```
+
+### 2. Direct Function Wrappers (in `mcp-server/src/core/direct-functions/`)
+
+These functions adapt core logic for the MCP server, ensuring structured responses.
+
+- **Actions**:
+    1.  Call the corresponding core logic function.
+        -   Pass necessary context (e.g., `session`, `mcpLog`, `projectRoot`).
+        -   Provide the `commandName` (typically derived from the MCP tool name) and `outputType: 'mcp'` in the context object passed to the core function.
+        -   If the core function supports an `outputFormat` parameter, pass `'json'` to suppress CLI-specific UI.
+    2.  The core logic function returns an object (e.g., `coreResult = { actionData: ..., telemetryData: ... }`).
+    3.  Include `coreResult.telemetryData` as a field within the `data` object of the successful response returned by the direct function.
+
+- **Example Snippet (Direct Function `someAiActionDirect.js`)**:
+  ```javascript
+  import { performAiRelatedAction } from '../../../../scripts/modules/task-manager/someAiAction.js'; // Core function
+  import { createLogWrapper } from '../../tools/utils.js'; // MCP Log wrapper
+
+  export async function someAiActionDirect(args, log, context = {}) {
+    const { session } = context;
+    // ... prepare arguments for core function from args, including args.projectRoot ...
+
+    try {
+      const coreResult = await performAiRelatedAction(
+        { /* parameters for core function */ },
+        { // Context for core function
+          session,
+          mcpLog: createLogWrapper(log),
+          projectRoot: args.projectRoot,
+          commandNameFromContext: 'mcp_tool_some_ai_action', // Example command name
+          outputType: 'mcp'
+        },
+        'json' // Request 'json' output format from core function
+      );
+
+      return {
+        success: true,
+        data: {
+          operationSpecificData: coreResult.actionData,
+          telemetryData: coreResult.telemetryData // Pass telemetry through
+        }
+      };
+    } catch (error) {
+      // ... error handling, return { success: false, error: ... } ...
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 3. MCP Tools (in `mcp-server/src/tools/`)
+
+These are the exposed endpoints for MCP clients.
+
+- **Actions**:
+    1.  Call the corresponding direct function wrapper.
+    2.  The direct function returns an object structured like `{ success: true, data: { operationSpecificData: ..., telemetryData: ... } }` (or an error object).
+    3.  Pass this entire result object to `handleApiResult(result, log)` from [`mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js`](mdc:mcp-server/src/tools/utils.js).
+    4.  `handleApiResult` ensures that the `data` field from the direct function's response (which correctly includes `telemetryData`) is part of the final MCP response.
+
+- **Example Snippet (MCP Tool `some_ai_action.js`)**:
+  ```javascript
+  import { someAiActionDirect } from '../core/task-master-core.js';
+  import { handleApiResult, withNormalizedProjectRoot } from './utils.js';
+  // ... zod for parameters ...
+
+  export function registerSomeAiActionTool(server) {
+    server.addTool({
+      name: "some_ai_action",
+      // ... description, parameters ...
+      execute: withNormalizedProjectRoot(async (args, { log, session }) => {
+        try {
+          const resultFromDirectFunction = await someAiActionDirect(
+            { /* args including projectRoot */ },
+            log,
+            { session }
+          );
+          return handleApiResult(resultFromDirectFunction, log); // This passes the nested telemetryData through
+        } catch (error) {
+          // ... error handling ...
+        }
+      })
+    });
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 4. CLI Commands (`scripts/modules/commands.js`)
+
+These define the command-line interface.
+
+- **Actions**:
+    1.  Call the appropriate core logic function.
+    2.  Pass `outputFormat: 'text'` (or ensure the core function defaults to text-based output for CLI).
+    3.  The core logic function (as per Section 1) is responsible for calling `displayAiUsageSummary` if telemetry data is available and it's in CLI mode.
+    4.  The command action itself **should not** call `displayAiUsageSummary` if the core logic function already handles this. This avoids duplicate display.
+
+- **Example Snippet (CLI Command in `commands.js`)**:
+  ```javascript
+  // In scripts/modules/commands.js
+  import { performAiRelatedAction } from './task-manager/someAiAction.js'; // Core function
+
+  programInstance
+    .command('some-cli-ai-action')
+    // ... .option() ...
+    .action(async (options) => {
+      try {
+        const projectRoot = findProjectRoot() || '.'; // Example root finding
+        // ... prepare parameters for core function from command options ...
+        await performAiRelatedAction(
+          { /* parameters for core function */ },
+          { // Context for core function
+            projectRoot,
+            commandNameFromContext: 'some-cli-ai-action',
+            outputType: 'cli'
+          },
+          'text' // Explicitly request text output format for CLI
+        );
+        // Core function handles displayAiUsageSummary internally for 'text' outputFormat
+      } catch (error) {
+        // ... error handling ...
+      }
+    });
+  ```
+
+## Summary Flow
+
+The telemetry data flows as follows:
+
+1.  **[`ai-services-unified.js`](mdc:scripts/modules/ai-services-unified.js)**: Generates `telemetryData` and returns `{ mainResult, telemetryData }`.
+2.  **Core Logic Function**:
+    *   Receives `{ mainResult, telemetryData }`.
+    *   Uses `mainResult`.
+    *   If CLI (`outputFormat: 'text'`), calls `displayAiUsageSummary(telemetryData)`.
+    *   Returns `{ operationSpecificData, telemetryData }`.
+3.  **Direct Function Wrapper**:
+    *   Receives `{ operationSpecificData, telemetryData }` from core logic.
+    *   Returns `{ success: true, data: { operationSpecificData, telemetryData } }`.
+4.  **MCP Tool**:
+    *   Receives direct function response.
+    *   `handleApiResult` ensures the final MCP response to the client is `{ success: true, data: { operationSpecificData, telemetryData } }`.
+5.  **CLI Command**:
+    *   Calls core logic with `outputFormat: 'text'`. Display is handled by core logic.
+
+This pattern ensures telemetry is captured and appropriately handled/exposed across all interaction modes.

+## Enhanced Display Patterns
+
+### **Token Breakdown Display**
+- Use detailed, granular token breakdowns for AI-powered commands
+- Display context sources with individual token counts
+- Show both token count and character count for transparency
+
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Display detailed token breakdown
+  function displayDetailedTokenBreakdown(tokenBreakdown, systemTokens, userTokens) {
+    const sections = [];
+    
+    if (tokenBreakdown.tasks?.length > 0) {
+      const taskDetails = tokenBreakdown.tasks.map(task => 
+        `${task.type === 'subtask' ? '  ' : ''}${task.id}: ${task.tokens.toLocaleString()}`
+      ).join('\n');
+      sections.push(`Tasks (${tokenBreakdown.tasks.reduce((sum, t) => sum + t.tokens, 0).toLocaleString()}):\n${taskDetails}`);
+    }
+    
+    const content = sections.join('\n\n');
+    console.log(boxen(content, {
+      title: chalk.cyan('Token Usage'),
+      padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+      borderStyle: 'round',
+      borderColor: 'cyan'
+    }));
+  }
+  ```
+
+### **Code Block Syntax Highlighting**
+- Use `cli-highlight` library for syntax highlighting in terminal output
+- Process code blocks in AI responses for better readability
+
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Enhance code blocks with syntax highlighting
+  import { highlight } from 'cli-highlight';
+  
+  function processCodeBlocks(text) {
+    return text.replace(/```(\w+)?\n([\s\S]*?)```/g, (match, language, code) => {
+      try {
+        const highlighted = highlight(code.trim(), { 
+          language: language || 'javascript',
+          theme: 'default'
+        });
+        return `\n${highlighted}\n`;
+      } catch (error) {
+        return `\n${code.trim()}\n`;
+      }
+    });
+  }
+  ```
+
+### **Multi-Section Result Display**
+- Use separate boxes for headers, content, and metadata
+- Maintain consistent styling across different result types
+
+  ```javascript
+  // ✅ DO: Use structured result display
+  function displayResults(result, query, detailLevel) {
+    // Header with query info
+    const header = boxen(
+      chalk.green.bold('Research Results') + '\n\n' +
+      chalk.gray('Query: ') + chalk.white(query) + '\n' +
+      chalk.gray('Detail Level: ') + chalk.cyan(detailLevel),
+      {
+        padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+        margin: { top: 1, bottom: 0 },
+        borderStyle: 'round',
+        borderColor: 'green'
+      }
+    );
+    console.log(header);
+    
+    // Process and display main content
+    const processedResult = processCodeBlocks(result);
+    const contentBox = boxen(processedResult, {
+      padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+      margin: { top: 0, bottom: 1 },
+      borderStyle: 'single',
+      borderColor: 'gray'
+    });
+    console.log(contentBox);
+    
+    console.log(chalk.green('✓ Operation complete'));
+  }

+
+  - **Interactive Setup Enhancement**: Added "Custom Ollama model" option to `task-master models --setup`, matching the existing OpenRouter functionality
+  - **Live Model Validation**: When setting Ollama models, Taskmaster now validates against the local Ollama instance by querying `/api/tags` endpoint
+  - **Configurable Endpoints**: Uses the `ollamaBaseUrl` from `.taskmasterconfig` (with role-specific `baseUrl` overrides supported)
+  - **Robust Error Handling**:
+    - Detects when Ollama server is not running and provides clear error messages
+    - Validates model existence and lists available alternatives when model not found
+    - Graceful fallback behavior for connection issues
+  - **Full Platform Support**: Both MCP server tools and CLI commands support the new validation
+  - **Improved User Experience**: Clear feedback during model validation with informative success/error messages

When you add a new task, Taskmaster now automatically: - Analyzes your existing tasks to find those most relevant to your new task's description. - Provides the AI with detailed context from these relevant tasks.
+
+  This results in newly created tasks being more accurately placed within your project's dependency structure, saving you time and any need to update tasks just for dependencies, all without significantly increasing AI costs. You'll get smarter, more connected tasks right from the start.

This new command supports moving standalone tasks to become subtasks, subtasks to become standalone tasks, and moving subtasks between different parents. The implementation handles circular dependencies, validation, and proper updating of parent-child relationships.
+
+  **Usage:**
+
+  - CLI command: `task-master move --from=<id> --to=<id>`
+  - MCP tool: `move_task` with parameters:
+    - `from`: ID of task/subtask to move (e.g., "5" or "5.2")
+    - `to`: ID of destination (e.g., "7" or "7.3")
+    - `file` (optional): Custom path to tasks.json
+
+  **Example scenarios:**
+
+  - Move task to become subtask: `--from="5" --to="7"`
+  - Move subtask to standalone task: `--from="5.2" --to="7"`
+  - Move subtask to different parent: `--from="5.2" --to="7.3"`
+  - Reorder subtask within same parent: `--from="5.2" --to="5.4"`
+  - Move multiple tasks at once: `--from="10,11,12" --to="16,17,18"`
+  - Move task to new ID: `--from="5" --to="25"` (creates a new task with ID 25)
+
+  **Multiple Task Support:**
+  The command supports moving multiple tasks simultaneously by providing comma-separated lists for both `--from` and `--to` parameters. The number of source and destination IDs must match. This is particularly useful for resolving merge conflicts in task files when multiple team members have created tasks on different branches.
+
+  **Validation Features:**
+
+  - Allows moving tasks to new, non-existent IDs (automatically creates placeholders)
+  - Prevents moving to existing task IDs that already contain content (to avoid overwriting)
+  - Validates source tasks exist before attempting to move them
+  - Ensures proper parent-child relationships are maintained

+  - **Robust Error Handling**:
+    - Detects when Ollama server is not running and provides clear error messages
+    - Validates model existence and lists available alternatives when model not found
+    - Graceful fallback behavior for connection issues
+  - **Full Platform Support**: Both MCP server tools and CLI commands support the new validation

+
+  - You can now add it by running `task-master models --setup` and selecting it.
+  - Ollama is a local model provider, so no API key is required.
+  - Ollama models are available at `http://localhost:11434/api` by default.
+  - You can change the default URL by setting the `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` environment variable or by adding a `baseUrl` property to the `ollama` model role in `.taskmasterconfig`.
+    - If you want to use a custom API key, you can set it in the `OLLAMA_API_KEY` environment variable.

+
+- ✅ **Review and understand** what the AI generated
+- ✅ **Test the code thoroughly** before submitting
+- ✅ **Ensure it's well-written** and follows our patterns
+- ❌ **Don't submit "AI slop"** - untested, unreviewed AI output
+
+> **Why this matters**: We spend significant time reviewing PRs. Help us help you by submitting quality contributions that save everyone time!
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start for Contributors
+
+### 1. Fork and Clone
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/claude-task-master.git
+cd claude-task-master
+npm install
+```
+
+### 2. Create a Feature Branch
+
+**Important**: Always target the `next` branch, not `main`:

+```bash
+# Run all tests
+npm test
+
+# Check formatting
+npm run format-check
+
+# Fix formatting if needed
+npm run format
+```
+
+### 5. Create a Changeset
+
+**Required for most changes**:
+
+```bash
+npm run changeset
+```
+
+See the [Changeset Guidelines](#changeset-guidelines) below for details.
+
+### 6. Submit Your PR
+
+- Target the `next` branch
+- Write a clear description
+- Reference any related issues
+
+## 📋 Development Guidelines
+
+### Branch Strategy
+
+- **`main`**: Production-ready code
+- **`next`**: Development branch - **target this for PRs**
+- **Feature branches**: `feature/description` or `fix/description`
+
+### Code Quality Standards
+
+1. **Write tests** for new functionality
+2. **Follow existing patterns** in the codebase
+3. **Add JSDoc comments** for functions
+4. **Keep functions focused** and single-purpose
+
+### Testing Requirements
+
+Your PR **must pass all CI checks**:
+
+- ✅ **Unit tests**: `npm test`
+- ✅ **Format check**: `npm run format-check`
+
+**Test your changes locally first** - this saves review time and shows you care about quality.
+
+## 📦 Changeset Guidelines
+
+We use [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) to manage versioning and generate changelogs.
+
+### When to Create a Changeset
+
+**Always create a changeset for**:
+
+- ✅ New features
+- ✅ Bug fixes
+- ✅ Breaking changes
+- ✅ Performance improvements
+- ✅ User-facing documentation updates
+- ✅ Dependency updates that affect functionality
+
+**Skip changesets for**:
+
+- ❌ Internal documentation only
+- ❌ Test-only changes
+- ❌ Code formatting/linting
+- ❌ Development tooling that doesn't affect users
+
+### How to Create a Changeset
+
+1. **After making your changes**:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run changeset
+   ```
+
+2. **Choose the bump type**:
+
+   - **Major**: Breaking changes

@@ -11,20 +11,67 @@ A task management system for AI-driven development with Claude, designed to work
 
 ## Requirements
 
+Taskmaster utilizes AI across several commands, and those require a separate API key. You can use a variety of models from different AI providers provided you add your API keys. For example, if you want to use Claude 3.7, you'll need an Anthropic API key.
+
+You can define 3 types of models to be used: the main model, the research model, and the fallback model (in case either the main or research fail). Whatever model you use, its provider API key must be present in either mcp.json or .env.
+
+At least one (1) of the following is required:
+
 - Anthropic API key (Claude API)
-- OpenAI SDK (for Perplexity API integration, optional)
+- OpenAI API key
+- Google Gemini API key
+- Perplexity API key (for research model)
+- xAI API Key (for research or main model)
+- OpenRouter API Key (for research or main model)
+
+Using the research model is optional but highly recommended. You will need at least ONE API key. Adding all API keys enables you to seamlessly switch between model providers at will.

+- Plan next step: `What’s the next task I should work on?`
+- Implement a task: `Can you help me implement task 3?`
+- View multiple tasks: `Can you show me tasks 1, 3, and 5?`
+- Expand a task: `Can you help me expand task 4?`

+## 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 scripts/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 `.taskmasterconfig` - 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

+We want to refine how Task Master handles AI model token limits to be more precise, by:
+
+1.  Distinguishing between `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` in the configuration.
+2.  Dynamically adjusting the `maxOutputTokens` for an API call based on the actual prompt length to stay within the model's total context window (or respecting separate input/output limits if the API and model support that).
+3.  Ensuring that `ai-services-unified.js` uses these more granular limits.
+
+This is a good improvement for both cost control and preventing errors.
+
+Here's a plan:
+
+**Phase 1: Configuration and Core Logic Updates**
+
+1.  **Update `.taskmasterconfig` Structure:**
+    - I'll modify the `models` section in your `.taskmasterconfig`. For each role (`main`, `research`, `fallback`), `maxTokens` will be replaced with `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens`.
+      - We'll need to decide on reasonable default values for these new fields. We can look at the current `maxTokens` and the model's known limits to make an initial guess.
+2.  **Update `MODEL_MAP` in `ai-services-unified.js`:**
+    - This array already stores cost data. We need to ensure it also stores the _absolute_ maximum input and output tokens for each model listed (e.g., `model_max_input_tokens`, `model_max_output_tokens`). If these fields are not present, they will need to be added. The values in `.taskmasterconfig` will then represent user-defined operational limits, which should ideally be validated against these absolute maximums.
+3.  **Update `config-manager.js`:**
+    - Getter functions like `getParametersForRole` will be updated to fetch `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` instead of the singular `maxTokens`.
+    - New getters might be needed if we want to access the model's absolute limits directly from `MODEL_MAP` via `config-manager.js`.
+4.  **Update `ai-services-unified.js` (`_unifiedServiceRunner`):**
+    - **Token Counting:** This is a crucial step. Before an API call, we need to estimate the token count of the combined `systemPrompt` and `userPrompt`.
+      - The Vercel AI SDK or the individual provider SDKs might offer utilities for this. For example, some SDKs expose a `tokenizer` or a way to count tokens for a given string.
+      - If a direct utility isn't available through the Vercel SDK for the specific provider, we might need to use a library like `tiktoken` for OpenAI/Anthropic models or investigate provider-specific tokenization. This could be complex as tokenization varies between models.
+      - For now, let's assume we can get a reasonable estimate.
+    - **Dynamic Output Token Calculation & Validation:**
+      - Retrieve `configured_max_input_tokens` and `configured_max_output_tokens` from `config-manager.js` for the current role.
+      - Retrieve `model_absolute_max_input_tokens` and `model_absolute_max_output_tokens` from `MODEL_MAP`.
+      - Let `prompt_tokens = countTokens(systemPrompt + userPrompt)`.
+      - **Input Validation:** If `prompt_tokens > configured_max_input_tokens` OR `prompt_tokens > model_absolute_max_input_tokens`, throw an error. (We might also consider auto-truncation strategies in the future, but an error is safer to start).
+      - **Output Calculation:** The `max_tokens` parameter sent to the API (which typically refers to the _max number of tokens to generate_) should be `configured_max_output_tokens`. We also need to ensure this doesn't violate the model's absolute output limit.
+      - Some models have a _total_ context window (input + output). If this is the case for a model, the `max_tokens` parameter for the API call might need to be `min(configured_max_output_tokens, model_absolute_total_tokens - prompt_tokens)`. However, many modern APIs handle separate input and output limits, simplifying this. We'll aim to pass `configured_max_output_tokens` as the API's `max_tokens` parameter, assuming the input validation has passed.
+    - **API Call Parameter:** Update the `callParams` to use the correctly determined `max_tokens` for generation (which will be our `configured_max_output_tokens`).
+
+**Phase 2: Error Handling and Refinements**
+
+1.  **Enhanced Error Handling:** Provide clear error messages if prompt tokens exceed input limits, or if API calls fail due to token issues despite our calculations.
+2.  **Validation:** Add validation (perhaps in `config-manager.js` or when `task-master models --setup` is run) to ensure `configured_max_input_tokens` and `configured_max_output_tokens` in `.taskmasterconfig` do not exceed the `model_absolute_max_input_tokens` and `model_absolute_max_output_tokens` from `MODEL_MAP`.
+
+Let's start by inspecting `scripts/modules/config-manager.js` to see how parameters and `MODEL_MAP` are currently handled. This will inform the changes needed for `.taskmasterconfig` and `ai-services-unified.js`.
+
+I will now read `scripts/modules/config-manager.js`.
+
+Okay, I've reviewed `scripts/modules/config-manager.js`. Here's what I've gathered and how it impacts the plan:
+
+- **`MODEL_MAP` Source:** `MODEL_MAP` is loaded from `supported-models.json`. This is excellent, as it means we can update the model capabilities (including new token limits) in a structured JSON file.
+- **Configuration Loading:** `_loadAndValidateConfig` handles loading `.taskmasterconfig` and merging it with `DEFAULTS`.
+- **Getters:** There are specific getters for `maxTokens` for each role (e.g., `getMainMaxTokens`). We will need to update these.
+- **`getParametersForRole`:** This function already exists and is a good candidate for returning the new `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens`.
+
+Here's the refined plan:
+
+**Phase 1: Configuration and Data Structures**
+
+1.  **Update `supported-models.json`:**
+
+    - For each model entry in `supported-models.json`, we need to add `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` fields. These should reflect the _absolute maximums_ for that specific model.
+    - Example entry change:
+
+      ```json
+      // Before
+      {
+          "id": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
+          "name": "Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Preview)",
+          "context_window": 200000, // This might be total context
+          "cost_per_1m_tokens": { "input": 3, "output": 15, "currency": "USD" }
+      }
+
+      // After (assuming 200k is total, and we make a reasonable split or find official numbers)
+      {
+          "id": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
+          "name": "Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Preview)",
+          "maxInputTokens": 190000, // Example
+          "maxOutputTokens": 8192,  // Example, often smaller for generation
+          "cost_per_1m_tokens": { "input": 3, "output": 15, "currency": "USD" }
+      }
+      ```
+
+    - I will need to find the official input/output token limits for the models currently in your `MODEL_MAP`. If you have this information handy, it would speed things up. Otherwise, I can make educated guesses or search for them.
+
+2.  **Update `.taskmasterconfig` (Defaults and User File):**
+    - In `scripts/modules/config-manager.js`, modify the `DEFAULTS` object. For each role (`main`, `research`, `fallback`), replace `maxTokens` with:
+      - `maxInputTokens`: A sensible default (e.g., a large portion of the model's capability, but user-configurable).
+      - `maxOutputTokens`: A sensible default for generation (e.g., 4096 or 8192).
+    - You will then need to manually update your existing `.taskmasterconfig` file to reflect this new structure. I can provide the snippet for you to paste.
+3.  **Update `config-manager.js`:**
+    - Modify `getParametersForRole(role, explicitRoot = null)`:
+      - It currently fetches `maxTokens` and `temperature`.
+      - Update it to fetch `maxInputTokens`, `maxOutputTokens`, and `temperature` from the loaded config for the given role.
+    - Remove the role-specific `getMaxTokens` functions (e.g., `getMainMaxTokens`, `getResearchMaxTokens`, `getFallbackMaxTokens`). The `getParametersForRole` will be the central way to get these.
+    - (Optional, for later validation) Consider adding a new function `getModelCapabilities(providerName, modelId)` that reads from `MODEL_MAP` to return the absolute `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` for a given model. This would be useful for validating the user's settings in `.taskmasterconfig`.
+
+**Phase 2: Core Logic in `ai-services-unified.js`**
+
+1.  **Token Counting (`_unifiedServiceRunner`):**
+
+    - This is the most complex part. We need a reliable way to count tokens for the prompts.
+      - **Strategy 1 (Ideal):** Leverage Vercel AI SDK. The SDK might provide a way to get a tokenizer for the active model or a utility function. We'll need to investigate its capabilities.
+      - **Strategy 2 (Fallback):** Use a library like `tiktoken` for models compatible with OpenAI's tokenization (many are, including some Anthropic models). For other models, we might need provider-specific tokenizers or make estimations (less ideal).
+      - **Initial Approach:** Let's try to find a Vercel AI SDK utility first. If not, we'll start with `tiktoken` as a common case and acknowledge that other models might need specific handling later.
+    - The function `_unifiedServiceRunner` will call this token counting utility:
+
+      ```javascript
+      // Placeholder for token counting
+      function countTokens(text, modelId /* or providerName */) {
+      	// ... implementation using SDK or library ...
+      	// This is a simplification; actual tokenization is model-specific.
+      	// For now, a rough estimate might be (text.length / 4) as a placeholder
+      	// if a proper tokenizer isn't immediately available.
+      	if (!text) return 0;
+      	return Math.ceil(text.length / 3.5); // Very rough general estimate
+      }
+
+      const promptTokens = countTokens(systemPrompt) + countTokens(prompt);
+      ```
+
+2.  **Dynamic Output Token Calculation & Validation (`_unifiedServiceRunner`):**
+
+    - Fetch parameters using the updated `getParametersForRole` from `config-manager.js`:
+      ```javascript
+      const roleParams = getParametersForRole(
+      	currentRole,
+      	effectiveProjectRoot
+      );
+      // roleParams will now contain { maxInputTokens, maxOutputTokens, temperature }
+      ```
+    - Fetch model's absolute limits from `MODEL_MAP` (we'll need a helper in `config-manager.js` or do it directly in `ai-services-unified.js` for now):
+      ```javascript
+      // Simplified; ideally use a robust getter from config-manager
+      const modelInfo = MODEL_MAP[providerName?.toLowerCase()]?.find(
+      	(m) => m.id === modelId
+      );
+      const modelAbsoluteMaxInput = modelInfo?.maxInputTokens || Infinity;
+      const modelAbsoluteMaxOutput =
+      	modelInfo?.maxOutputTokens || roleParams.maxOutputTokens; // Fallback to configured if not in map
+      ```
+    - **Input Validation:**
+      ```javascript
+      if (promptTokens > roleParams.maxInputTokens) {
+      	throw new Error(
+      		`Prompt (${promptTokens} tokens) exceeds configured max input tokens (${roleParams.maxInputTokens}) for role '${currentRole}'.`
+      	);
+      }
+      if (promptTokens > modelAbsoluteMaxInput) {
+      	throw new Error(
+      		`Prompt (${promptTokens} tokens) exceeds model's absolute max input tokens (${modelAbsoluteMaxInput}) for ${modelId}.`
+      	);
+      }
+      ```
+    - **API Call Parameter (`max_tokens` for generation):**
+      The `max_tokens` parameter passed to the provider's API call should be `roleParams.maxOutputTokens`. We must also ensure this doesn't exceed the model's absolute output capability.
+
+      ```javascript
+      const apiMaxOutputTokens = Math.min(
+      	roleParams.maxOutputTokens,
+      	modelAbsoluteMaxOutput
+      );
+
+      const callParams = {
+      	apiKey,
+      	modelId,
+      	// Use apiMaxOutputTokens for the actual API call
+      	maxTokens: apiMaxOutputTokens, // This usually means max tokens to GENERATE
+      	temperature: roleParams.temperature,
+      	messages,
+      	baseUrl,
+      	...(serviceType === 'generateObject' && { schema, objectName }),
+      	...restApiParams
+      };
+      ```
+
+3.  **Update `logAiUsage`:**
+    - The cost calculation in `logAiUsage` seems correct as it already uses `inputCost` and `outputCost` per 1M tokens. This part should remain compatible.
+
+**Next Steps:**
+
+1.  **Modify `supported-models.json`:** I need the content of this file to propose the new `maxInputTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` fields. Please provide it.
+2.  **Decide on Tokenizer Strategy:** What are your thoughts on the token counting? Are you aware of any utilities within Vercel AI SDK for this, or should we plan to integrate `tiktoken` initially?
+
+Once I have the content of `supported-models.json`, I can draft the changes for it and then proceed to `config-manager.js` and `.taskmasterconfig`.

+```
+
+```javascript
+if (promptTokens > roleParams.maxInputTokens) {
+	throw new Error(
+		`Prompt (${promptTokens} tokens) exceeds configured max input tokens (${roleParams.maxInputTokens}) for role '${currentRole}'.`
+	);
+}
+if (promptTokens > modelAbsoluteMaxInput) {
+	throw new Error(
+		`Prompt (${promptTokens} tokens) exceeds model's absolute max input tokens (${modelAbsoluteMaxInput}) for ${modelId}.`
+	);
+}
+```
+

+	modelAbsoluteMaxOutput
+);
+
+const callParams = {

+	temperature: roleParams.temperature,
+	messages,
+	baseUrl,
+	...(serviceType === 'generateObject' && { schema, objectName }),
+	...restApiParams
+};
+```
+
+Okay, I have the contents of `supported-models.json`.
+
+It seems many models have a `max_tokens` field, which I assume is the _total context window_. Some don't have it, and for others (like OpenAI `gpt-4o`), the listed `max_tokens` (16384) is known to be its _output_ token limit when using the Chat Completions API, while the context window is much larger (128k). This highlights the complexity: `max_tokens` in `supported-models.json` is used inconsistently.
+
+**Revised Plan for `supported-models.json` and Token Definitions:**
+
+To bring clarity, we'll introduce two new fields and ensure their meaning is consistent:
+
+- `contextWindowTokens`: The total number of tokens the model can process (input + output). This would replace the current ambiguous `max_tokens`.
+- `maxOutputTokens`: The maximum number of tokens the model can _generate_ in a single response. This is often smaller than the total context window, especially for larger models.
+
+If a model _only_ specifies a total context window, we'll have to make a reasonable assumption for `maxOutputTokens` (e.g., 4096 or 8192, or a fraction of the total context window). If it only specifies an output token limit (like some OpenAI models in certain API modes), we'll need to find its total context window.
+
+**Updated `supported-models.json` Structure (Example):**
+
+```json
+// For a model like Anthropic Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Preview)
+{
+    "id": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
+    "swe_score": 0.623,
+    "cost_per_1m_tokens": { "input": 3.0, "output": 15.0 },
+    "allowed_roles": ["main", "fallback"],
+    "contextWindowTokens": 200000, // From Anthropic's documentation
+    "maxOutputTokens": 8192     // Anthropic default, user can override in .taskmasterconfig
+}
+
+// For a model like OpenAI GPT-4o
+{
+    "id": "gpt-4o",
+    "swe_score": 0.332,
+    "cost_per_1m_tokens": { "input": 2.5, "output": 10.0 },
+    "allowed_roles": ["main", "fallback"],
+    "contextWindowTokens": 128000, // Official context window
+    "maxOutputTokens": 16384    // Max output for chat completions is 16k for gpt-4o (used to be 4k/8k for older gpt-4)
+                                // but the model card mentions 128k total. The API call parameter for `max_tokens` sets this output cap.
+}
+```
+
+I will proceed to generate the updated `supported-models.json` content. This will be a significant change. I will make my best effort to find the correct `contextWindowTokens` and `maxOutputTokens` for each model. If official numbers are ambiguous or not readily available, I'll use sensible defaults and add a comment.
+
+**Regarding Tokenizer Strategy:**
+
+- **Vercel AI SDK:** The `ai` package (Vercel AI SDK) itself is a lightweight wrapper. Tokenization is usually handled by the underlying provider-specific SDKs (e.g., `@anthropic-ai/sdk`, `openai`). The Vercel SDK doesn't provide a universal tokenizer.
+- **Provider SDKs:**
+  - `@anthropic-ai/sdk`: Does not expose a public tokenizer directly. Anthropic recommends counting based on their guidelines (roughly 3.5 chars/token for English).
+  - `openai` (for Node.js): The `gpt-3-encoder` or `tiktoken` libraries are commonly used. `tiktoken` is more current.
+- **`tiktoken`:** This is a good general-purpose library for OpenAI models and those that use compatible tokenization (many models fine-tuned from Llama, etc., might be close). It supports various encodings.
+- **Recommendation:**
+  1.  Start by integrating `tiktoken`. We can select the encoding based on the provider or even specific model if needed (e.g., `cl100k_base` for gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo, DALL-E models).
+  2.  For providers where `tiktoken` is not accurate (e.g., Google's Gemini, Perplexity if they have proprietary tokenizers), we might have to rely on character-based estimations (e.g., `length / N`) as a rougher guide or investigate if their specific SDKs offer token counting.
+  3.  The Vercel AI SDK's `experimental_streamObject` and other functions _might_ internally handle some aspects of token counting for request preparation, but we need explicit counting for our logic _before_ the call.
+
+For now, let's assume we'll add a `countTokens` utility that uses `tiktoken` for OpenAI and Anthropic (as Anthropic's guidance is character-based but `cl100k_base` is often a decent proxy for their tokenization for rough estimates, though not perfect), and a character-based fallback for others.
+
+I will now generate the proposed changes for `scripts/modules/supported-models.json`. This will be a large diff.
+
+After this, we'll move to:
+
+1.  Updating `.taskmasterconfig` defaults in `config-manager.js` and providing you the snippet for your user file.
+2.  Updating `config-manager.js` getters.
+3.  Implementing the logic in `ai-services-unified.js`.

+## Provider-Specific Configuration
+
+### Google Vertex AI Configuration
+
+Google Vertex AI is Google Cloud's enterprise AI platform and requires specific configuration:
+
+1. **Prerequisites**:
+   - A Google Cloud account with Vertex AI API enabled
+   - Either a Google API key with Vertex AI permissions OR a service account with appropriate roles
+   - A Google Cloud project ID
+2. **Authentication Options**:
+   - **API Key**: Set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable
+   - **Service Account**: Set `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` to point to your service account JSON file
+3. **Required Configuration**:
+   - Set `VERTEX_PROJECT_ID` to your Google Cloud project ID
+   - Set `VERTEX_LOCATION` to your preferred Google Cloud region (default: us-central1)
+4. **Example Setup**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # In .env file
+   GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIzaSyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+   VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=my-gcp-project-123
+   VERTEX_LOCATION=us-central1
+   ```
+
+   Or using service account:
+
+   ```bash
+   # In .env file

+### 6. Reorganizing Tasks
+
+If you need to reorganize your task structure:

+I think subtask 5.2 would fit better as part of task 7 instead. Can you move it there?
+```
+
+The agent will execute:

+```
+
+You can reorganize tasks in various ways:
+
+- Moving a standalone task to become a subtask: `--from=5 --to=7`
+- Moving a subtask to become a standalone task: `--from=5.2 --to=7`
+- Moving a subtask to a different parent: `--from=5.2 --to=7.3`
+- Reordering subtasks within the same parent: `--from=5.2 --to=5.4`
+- Moving a task to a new ID position: `--from=5 --to=25` (even if task 25 doesn't exist yet)
+- Moving multiple tasks at once: `--from=10,11,12 --to=16,17,18` (must have same number of IDs, Taskmaster will look through each position)
+
+When moving tasks to new IDs:
+
+- The system automatically creates placeholder tasks for non-existent destination IDs
+- This prevents accidental data loss during reorganization
+- Any tasks that depend on moved tasks will have their dependencies updated
+- When moving a parent task, all its subtasks are automatically moved with it and renumbered
+
+This is particularly useful as your project understanding evolves and you need to refine your task structure.
+
+### 7. Resolving Merge Conflicts with Tasks
+
+When working with a team, you might encounter merge conflicts in your tasks.json file if multiple team members create tasks on different branches. The move command makes resolving these conflicts straightforward:
+
+```
+I just merged the main branch and there's a conflict with tasks.json. My teammates created tasks 10-15 while I created tasks 10-12 on my branch. Can you help me resolve this?
+```
+
+The agent will help you:
+
+1. Keep your teammates' tasks (10-15)
+2. Move your tasks to new positions to avoid conflicts:
+
+```bash
+# Move your tasks to new positions (e.g., 16-18)
+task-master move --from=10 --to=16
+task-master move --from=11 --to=17
+task-master move --from=12 --to=18
+```
+

+
+```
+Before implementing task 5 (authentication), research the latest JWT security recommendations.
+```

+```
+
+#### Research and Update Pattern
+
+A powerful workflow is to research first, then update tasks with findings:
+
+```
+Research the latest Node.js performance optimization techniques and update task 12 with the findings.
+```
+
+The agent will:
+
+1. Run research: `task-master research "Node.js performance optimization 2024" --id=12`
+2. Update the task: `task-master update-subtask --id=12.2 --prompt="Updated with latest performance findings: [research results]"`
+
+#### When to Use Research
+
+- **Before implementing any new technology**
+- **When encountering security-related tasks**
+- **For performance optimization tasks**
+- **When debugging complex issues**
+- **Before making architectural decisions**
+- **When updating dependencies**
+
+The research tool automatically includes relevant project context and provides fresh information that can significantly improve implementation quality.

+``# Taskmaster AI Installation Guide
+
+This guide helps AI assistants install and configure Taskmaster for users in their development projects.
+
+## What is Taskmaster?
+
+Taskmaster is an AI-driven task management system designed for development workflows. It helps break down projects into manageable tasks, track dependencies, and maintain development momentum through structured, AI-enhanced planning.
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Add MCP Configuration
+
+Add the following configuration to the user's MCP settings file (`.cursor/mcp.json` for Cursor, or equivalent for other editors):
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"taskmaster-ai": {
+			"command": "npx",
+			"args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
+			"env": {
+				"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"OPENAI_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"GOOGLE_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"MISTRAL_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here",
+				"XAI_API_KEY": "user_will_add_their_key_here"
+			}
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: API Key Requirements
+
+Inform the user they need **at least one** API key from the following providers:
+
+- **Anthropic** (for Claude models) - Recommended
+- **OpenAI** (for GPT models)
+- **Google** (for Gemini models)
+- **Perplexity** (for research features) - Highly recommended
+- **Mistral** (for Mistral models)
+- **OpenRouter** (access to multiple models)
+- **xAI** (for Grok models)
+
+The user will be able to define 3 separate roles (can be the same provider or separate providers) for main AI operations, research operations (research providers/models only), and a fallback model in case of errors.
+
+### Step 3: Initialize Project
+
+Once the MCP server is configured and API keys are added, initialize Taskmaster in the user's project:
+
+> Can you initialize Task Master in my project?
+
+This will run the `initialize_project` tool to set up the basic file structure.
+
+### Step 4: Create Initial Tasks
+
+Users have two options for creating initial tasks:
+
+**Option A: Parse a PRD (Recommended)**
+If they have a Product Requirements Document:
+
+> Can you parse my PRD file at [path/to/prd.txt] to generate initial tasks?
+
+If the user does not have a PRD, the AI agent can help them create one and store it in scripts/prd.txt for parsing.
+
+**Option B: Start from scratch**
+
+> Can you help me add my first task: [describe the task]
+
+## Common Usage Patterns
+
+### Daily Workflow
+
+> What's the next task I should work on?
+> Can you show me the details for task [ID]?
+> Can you mark task [ID] as done?
+
+### Task Management
+
+> Can you break down task [ID] into subtasks?
+> Can you add a new task: [description]
+> Can you analyze the complexity of my tasks?
+
+### Project Organization
+
+> Can you show me all my pending tasks?
+> Can you move task [ID] to become a subtask of [parent ID]?
+> Can you update task [ID] with this new information: [details]
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+After installation, verify everything is working:
+
+1. **Check MCP Connection**: The AI should be able to access Task Master tools
+2. **Test Basic Commands**: Try `get_tasks` to list current tasks
+3. **Verify API Keys**: Ensure AI-powered commands work (like `add_task`)
+
+Note: An API key fallback exists that allows the MCP server to read API keys from `.env` instead of the MCP JSON config. It is recommended to have keys in both places in case the MCP server is unable to read keys from its environment for whatever reason.
+
+When adding keys to `.env` only, the `models` tool will explain that the keys are not OK for MCP. Despite this, the fallback should kick in and the API keys will be read from the `.env` file.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**If MCP server doesn't start:**
+
+- Verify the JSON configuration is valid
+- Check that Node.js is installed
+- Ensure API keys are properly formatted
+
+**If AI commands fail:**
+
+- Verify at least one API key is configured
+- Check API key permissions and quotas
+- Try using a different model via the `models` tool
+
+## CLI Fallback
+
+Taskmaster is also available via CLI commands, by installing with `npm install task-master-ai@latest` in a terminal. Running `task-master help` will show all available commands, which offer a 1:1 experience with the MCP server. As the AI agent, you should refer to the system prompts and rules provided to you to identify Taskmaster-specific rules that help you understand how and when to use it.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once installed, users can:
+
+- Create new tasks with `add-task` or parse a PRD (scripts/prd.txt) into tasks with `parse-prd`
+- Set up model preferences with `models` tool
+- Expand tasks into subtasks with `expand-all` and `expand-task`
+- Explore advanced features like research mode and complexity analysis
