Example Cursor AI Interactions

Here are some common interactions with Cursor AI when using Task Master:

Starting a new project

I've just initialized a new project with Claude Task Master. I have a PRD at scripts/prd.txt.
Can you help me parse it and set up the initial tasks?

Working on tasks

What's the next task I should work on? Please consider dependencies and priorities.

Implementing a specific task

I'd like to implement task 4. Can you help me understand what needs to be done and how to approach it?

Managing subtasks

I need to regenerate the subtasks for task 3 with a different approach. Can you help me clear and regenerate them?

Handling changes

I've decided to use MongoDB instead of PostgreSQL. Can you update all future tasks to reflect this change?

Completing work

I've finished implementing the authentication system described in task 2. All tests are passing.
Please mark it as complete and tell me what I should work on next.

Reorganizing tasks

I think subtask 5.2 would fit better as part of task 7. Can you move it there?

(Agent runs: task-master move --from=5.2 --to=7.3)

Task 8 should actually be a subtask of task 4. Can you reorganize this?

(Agent runs: task-master move --from=8 --to=4.1)

I just merged the main branch and there's a conflict in tasks.json. My teammates created tasks 10-15 on their branch while I created tasks 10-12 on my branch. Can you help me resolve this by moving my tasks?

(Agent runs:

task-master move --from=10 --to=16
task-master move --from=11 --to=17
task-master move --from=12 --to=18

)

Analyzing complexity

Can you analyze the complexity of our tasks to help me understand which ones need to be broken down further?

Viewing complexity report

Can you show me the complexity report in a more readable format?

Breaking Down Complex Tasks

Task 5 seems complex. Can you break it down into subtasks?

(Agent runs: task-master expand --id=5)

Please break down task 5 using research-backed generation.

(Agent runs: task-master expand --id=5 --research)

Updating Tasks with Research

We need to update task 15 based on the latest React Query v5 changes. Can you research this and update the task?

(Agent runs: task-master update-task --id=15 --prompt="Update based on React Query v5 changes" --research)

Adding Tasks with Research

Please add a new task to implement user profile image uploads using Cloudinary, research the best approach.

(Agent runs: task-master add-task --prompt="Implement user profile image uploads using Cloudinary" --research)
