Here are some common interactions with Cursor AI when using Task Master:
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?
What's the next task I should work on? Please consider dependencies and priorities.
I'd like to implement task 4. Can you help me understand what needs to be done and how to approach it?
I need to regenerate the subtasks for task 3 with a different approach. Can you help me clear and regenerate them?
I've decided to use MongoDB instead of PostgreSQL. Can you update all future tasks to reflect this change?
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.
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)
Can you analyze the complexity of our tasks to help me understand which ones need to be broken down further?
Can you show me the complexity report in a more readable format?
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)
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)
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)
