Key Features
Natural Language Support
All commands understand natural language:
/project:tm/list pending high priority
/project:tm/update mark 23 as done
/project:tm/add-task implement OAuth login
Smart Context
Commands analyze project state and provide intelligent suggestions based on:
- Current task status
- Dependencies
- Team patterns
- Project phase
Visual Enhancements
- Progress bars and indicators
- Status badges
- Organized displays
- Clear hierarchies
