Ralph Khreish 4629128943 fix: task master (tm) custom slash commands w/ proper syntax (#968)
* feat: add task master (tm) custom slash commands

Add comprehensive task management system integration via custom slash commands.
Includes commands for:
- Project initialization and setup
- Task parsing from PRD documents
- Task creation, update, and removal
- Subtask management
- Dependency tracking and validation
- Complexity analysis and task expansion
- Project status and reporting
- Workflow automation

Add a dependency between tasks.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse the task IDs to establish dependency relationship.
## Adding Dependencies
Creates a dependency where one task must be completed before another can start.
## Argument Parsing
Parse natural language or IDs:
- "make 5 depend on 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 needs 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
- "5 after 3" → task 5 depends on task 3
## Execution
```bash
task-master add-dependency --id=<task-id> --depends-on=<dependency-id>
```
## Validation
Before adding:
1. **Verify both tasks exist**
2. **Check for circular dependencies**
3. **Ensure dependency makes logical sense**
4. **Warn if creating complex chains**
## Smart Features
- Detect if dependency already exists
- Suggest related dependencies
- Show impact on task flow
- Update task priorities if needed
## Post-Addition
After adding dependency:
1. Show updated dependency graph
2. Identify any newly blocked tasks
3. Suggest task order changes
4. Update project timeline
## Example Flows
```
/project:tm/add-dependency 5 needs 3
→ Task #5 now depends on Task #3
→ Task #5 is now blocked until #3 completes
→ Suggested: Also consider if #5 needs #4
```
