# 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 .taskmaster/docs/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?
```
## Viewing multiple tasks
```
Can you show me tasks 1, 3, and 5 so I can understand their relationship?
```
```
I need to see the status of tasks 44, 55, and their subtasks. Can you show me those?
```
```
Show me tasks 10, 12, and 15 and give me some batch actions I can perform on them.
```
## 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:
```bash
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`)
## Research-Driven Development
### Getting Fresh Information
```
Research the latest best practices for implementing JWT authentication in Node.js applications.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master research "Latest best practices for JWT authentication in Node.js"`)
### Research with Project Context
```
I'm working on task 15 which involves API optimization. Can you research current best practices for our specific implementation?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master research "API optimization best practices" --id=15 --files=src/api.js`)
### Research Before Implementation
```
Before I implement task 8 (React Query integration), can you research the latest React Query v5 patterns and any breaking changes?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master research "React Query v5 patterns and breaking changes" --id=8`)
### Research and Update Pattern
```
Research the latest security recommendations for Express.js applications and update our authentication task with the findings.
```
(Agent runs:
1. `task-master research "Latest Express.js security recommendations" --id=12`
2. `task-master update-subtask --id=12.3 --prompt="Updated with latest security findings: [research results]"`)
### Research for Debugging
```
I'm having issues with our WebSocket implementation in task 20. Can you research common WebSocket problems and solutions?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master research "Common WebSocket implementation problems and solutions" --id=20 --files=src/websocket.js`)
### Research Technology Comparisons
```
We need to choose between Redis and Memcached for caching. Can you research the current recommendations for our use case?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master research "Redis vs Memcached 2024 comparison for session caching" --tree`)
## Git Integration and Tag Management
### Creating Tags for Feature Branches
```
I'm starting work on a new feature branch for user authentication. Can you create a matching task tag?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master add-tag --from-branch`)
### Creating Named Tags
```
Create a new tag called 'api-v2' for our API redesign work.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master add-tag api-v2 --description="API v2 redesign tasks"`)
### Switching Tag Contexts
```
Switch to the 'testing' tag so I can work on QA tasks.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master use-tag testing`)
### Copying Tasks Between Tags
```
I need to copy the current tasks to a new 'hotfix' tag for urgent fixes.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master add-tag hotfix --copy-from-current --description="Urgent hotfix tasks"`)
### Managing Multiple Contexts
```
Show me all available tags and their current status.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master tags --show-metadata`)
### Tag Cleanup
```
I've finished the 'user-auth' feature and merged the branch. Can you clean up the tag?
```
(Agent runs: `task-master delete-tag user-auth`)
### Working with Tag-Specific Tasks
```
List all tasks in the 'api-v2' tag context.
```
(Agent runs: `task-master use-tag api-v2` then `task-master list`)
### Branch-Based Development Workflow
```
I'm switching to work on the 'feature/payments' branch. Can you set up the task context for this?
```
(Agent runs:
1. `git checkout feature/payments`
2. `task-master add-tag --from-branch --description="Payment system implementation"`
3. `task-master list` to show tasks in the new context)
### Parallel Feature Development
```
I need to work on both authentication and payment features simultaneously. How should I organize the tasks?
```
(Agent suggests and runs:
1. `task-master add-tag auth --description="Authentication feature tasks"`
2. `task-master add-tag payments --description="Payment system tasks"`
3. `task-master use-tag auth` to start with authentication work)
