+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.

+- **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

+# 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);
+    }
+    
+    // 6. Use context in AI call
+    const aiResult = await generateTextService(role, session, systemPrompt, userPrompt);
+    
+    // 7. Display results with enhanced formatting
+    displayResults(aiResult, contextResult.tokenBreakdown);
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Token Display Pattern**
+```javascript
+function displayDetailedTokenBreakdown(tokenBreakdown, systemTokens, userTokens) {
+    const sections = [];
+    
+    // Build context breakdown
+    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}`);
+    }
+    
+    if (tokenBreakdown.files?.length > 0) {
+        const fileDetails = tokenBreakdown.files.map(file =>
+            `  ${file.path}: ${file.tokens.toLocaleString()} (${file.size})`
+        ).join('\n');
+        sections.push(`Files (${tokenBreakdown.files.reduce((sum, f) => sum + f.tokens, 0).toLocaleString()}):\n${fileDetails}`);
+    }
+    
+    // Add prompts breakdown
+    sections.push(`Prompts: system ${systemTokens.toLocaleString()}, user ${userTokens.toLocaleString()}`);
+    
+    // Display in clean box
+    const content = sections.join('\n\n');
+    console.log(boxen(content, {
+        title: chalk.cyan('Token Usage'),
+        padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+        borderStyle: 'round',
+        borderColor: 'cyan'
+    }));
+}
+```
+
+### **3. Enhanced Result Display Pattern**
+```javascript
+function displayResults(result, query, detailLevel, tokenBreakdown) {
+    // Header with query info
+    const header = boxen(
+        chalk.green.bold('Research Results') + '\n\n' +
+        chalk.gray('Query: ') + chalk.white(query) + '\n' +
+        chalk.gray('Detail Level: ') + chalk.cyan(detailLevel),
+        {
+            padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+            margin: { top: 1, bottom: 0 },
+            borderStyle: 'round',
+            borderColor: 'green'
+        }
+    );
+    console.log(header);
+    
+    // Process and highlight code blocks
+    const processedResult = processCodeBlocks(result);
+    
+    // Main content in clean box
+    const contentBox = boxen(processedResult, {
+        padding: { top: 1, bottom: 1, left: 2, right: 2 },
+        margin: { top: 0, bottom: 1 },
+        borderStyle: 'single',
+        borderColor: 'gray'
+    });
+    console.log(contentBox);
+    
+    console.log(chalk.green('✓ Research complete'));
+}
+```
+
+## Code Block Enhancement
+
+### **Syntax Highlighting Pattern**
+```javascript
+import { highlight } from 'cli-highlight';
+
+function processCodeBlocks(text) {
+    return text.replace(/```(\w+)?\n([\s\S]*?)```/g, (match, language, code) => {
+        try {
+            const highlighted = highlight(code.trim(), { 
+                language: language || 'javascript',
+                theme: 'default'
+            });
+            return `\n${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.

+## 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 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.

+
+## **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 Overview
+Brief description of the main task objective.
+
+## Subtasks Completed

+```
+
+## **Conflict Resolution**
+
+### **Task Conflicts**
+```bash
+# If multiple people work on overlapping tasks:
+# 1. Use Task Master's move functionality to reorganize
+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
+# Resolve conflicts in files
+git add .
+git rebase --continue
+```
+
+## **Emergency Procedures**
+
+### **Hotfixes**
+```bash
+# For urgent production fixes:
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+git checkout -b hotfix-urgent-issue
+
+# Make minimal fix
+git commit -m "hotfix: Fix critical production issue
+
+- Specific fix description
+- Minimal impact change
+- Requires immediate deployment"
+
+git push origin hotfix-urgent-issue
+# Create emergency PR for immediate review

+    *   `id`: `Required. The ID of the Taskmaster task, e.g., '15', or subtask, e.g., '15.2', you want to view.` (CLI: `[id]. Supports comma-separated list of tasks to get multiple tasks at once.` positional or `-i, --id <id>`)
     *   `file`: `Path to your Taskmaster 'tasks.json' file. Default relies on auto-detection.` (CLI: `-f, --file <file>`)
 *   **Usage:** Understand the full details, implementation notes, and test strategy for a specific task before starting work.
+*   **CRITICAL INFORMATION** If you need to collect information from multiple tasks, use comma-separated IDs (i.e. 1,2,3) to receive an array of tasks. Do not needlessly get tasks one at a time if you need to get many as that is wasteful.

+### 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

+## 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 },

+- [#567](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/567) [`09add37`](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/commit/09add37423d70b809d5c28f3cde9fccd5a7e64e7) Thanks [@eyaltoledano](https://github.com/eyaltoledano)! - Added comprehensive Ollama model validation and interactive setup support
+
+  - **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 used, Taskmaster leverages the research model to:
+
+  - Research current technologies and best practices relevant to the project
+  - Identify technical challenges and security concerns not explicitly mentioned in the PRD
+  - Include specific library recommendations with version numbers
+  - Provide more detailed implementation guidance based on industry standards
+  - Create more accurate dependency relationships between tasks
+
+  This results in higher quality, more actionable tasks with minimal additional effort.
+
+  _NOTE_ That this is an experimental feature. Research models don't typically do great at structured output. You may find some failures when using research mode, so please share your feedback so we can improve this.

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

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

+# Contributing to Task Master
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Task Master! We're excited to work with you and appreciate your help in making this project better. 🚀
+
+## 🤝 Our Collaborative Approach
+
+We're a **PR-friendly team** that values collaboration:
+
+- ✅ **We review PRs quickly** - Usually within hours, not days
+- ✅ **We're super reactive** - Expect fast feedback and engagement
+- ✅ **We sometimes take over PRs** - If your contribution is valuable but needs cleanup, we might jump in to help finish it
+- ✅ **We're open to all contributions** - From bug fixes to major features
+
+**We don't mind AI-generated code**, but we do expect you to:
+
+- ✅ **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
+git checkout next
+git pull origin next
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+```
+
+### 3. Make Your Changes
+
+Follow our development guidelines below.
+
+### 4. Test Everything Yourself
+
+**Before submitting your PR**, ensure:
+
+```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
+   - **Minor**: New features
+   - **Patch**: Bug fixes, docs, performance improvements
+
+3. **Write a clear summary**:
+
+   ```
+   Add support for custom AI models in MCP configuration
+   ```
+
+4. **Commit the changeset file** with your changes:
+   ```bash
+   git add .changeset/*.md
+   git commit -m "feat: add custom AI model support"
+   ```
+
+### Changeset vs Git Commit Messages
+
+- **Changeset summary**: User-facing, goes in CHANGELOG.md
+- **Git commit**: Developer-facing, explains the technical change
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+# Changeset summary (user-facing)
+"Add support for custom Ollama models"
+
+# Git commit message (developer-facing)
+"feat(models): implement custom Ollama model validation
+
+- Add model validation for custom Ollama endpoints
+- Update configuration schema to support custom models
+- Add tests for new validation logic"
+```
+
+## 🔧 Development Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 14+
+- npm or yarn
+
+### Environment Setup
+
+1. **Copy environment template**:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+2. **Add your API keys** (for testing AI features):
+   ```bash
+   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here
+   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
+   # Add others as needed
+   ```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+npm test
+
+# Run tests in watch mode
+npm run test:watch
+
+# Run with coverage

+## MCP Integration
+
+Task Master provides an MCP server that Claude Code can connect to. Configure in `.mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+	"mcpServers": {
+		"task-master-ai": {
+			"command": "npx",
+			"args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
+			"env": {
+				"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your_key_here",
+				"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "your_key_here",
+				"OPENAI_API_KEY": "OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"GOOGLE_API_KEY": "GOOGLE_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"XAI_API_KEY": "XAI_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "OPENROUTER_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"MISTRAL_API_KEY": "MISTRAL_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY": "AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE",
+				"OLLAMA_API_KEY": "OLLAMA_API_KEY_HERE"
+			}
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### Essential MCP Tools
+
+```javascript
+help; // = shows available taskmaster commands
+// Project setup
+initialize_project; // = task-master init
+parse_prd; // = task-master parse-prd
+
+// Daily workflow
+get_tasks; // = task-master list

+```
+
+## 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

+
+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
+   GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json
+   VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=my-gcp-project-123
+   VERTEX_LOCATION=us-central1
+   ```
+
+5. **In .taskmasterconfig**:

 This will rewrite or re-scope subsequent tasks in tasks.json while preserving completed work.
 
-### 6. Breaking Down Complex Tasks
+### 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:
+
+```bash
+task-master move --from=5.2 --to=7.3
+```
+
+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
+```
+
+This approach preserves everyone's work while maintaining a clean task structure, making it much easier to handle task conflicts than trying to manually merge JSON files.

+### Research-Driven Development
+
+Task Master includes a powerful research tool that provides fresh, up-to-date information beyond the AI's knowledge cutoff. This is particularly valuable for:
+
+#### Getting Current Best Practices
+
+```
+Before implementing task 5 (authentication), research the latest JWT security recommendations.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master research "Latest JWT security recommendations 2024" --id=5
+```
+
+#### Research with Project Context
+
+```
+Research React Query v5 migration strategies for our current API implementation.
+```
+
+The agent will execute:
+
+```bash
+task-master research "React Query v5 migration strategies" --files=src/api.js,src/hooks.js
+```
+
+#### 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
+
+For detailed documentation, refer to the Task Master docs directory.``
