 # Template Setup Workflow
 
 ## Agent-Driven Initialization
-When a user prompts "initialize this project as <my project name>", I will automatically handle template setup:
+When a user prompts "initialize this project as <my project name>", I will **ONLY** handle template setup (do NOT include TaskMaster or PRD work):
 
 1. **Copy `.cursor/.mcp.json.example` to `.cursor/mcp.json`** and prompt user for their API keys
-2. **Optionally copy `.env.example` to `.env`** only if they plan to use TaskMaster CLI (not needed for MCP workflow)
-3. **Remove template-specific content** and customize for their project:
+2. **Remove template-specific content** and customize for their project:
    - **Move `README.md` to `docs/how_to_use_this_template.md`** to preserve template documentation
    - **Copy `.cursor/templates/project_readme.md` to the project root as `README.md`** to create the new project-specific README
    - **Update the new `README.md`** by replacing `[Project Name]` placeholder with user-provided name or "My Project"
    - Update `SECURITY.md` to remove template references
    - Remove or update any hardcoded paths in configuration files
 
+## What NOT to Include in Template Initialization
+- **Do NOT set up TaskMaster** - This is a separate workflow that requires explicit user request
+- **Do NOT create PRDs** - Project Requirements Documents are separate from template setup
+- **Do NOT copy `.env.example` to `.env`** - Only do this if user specifically requests TaskMaster CLI setup
+- **Do NOT initialize git repository** - Template initialization is separate from git setup
+- **Do NOT create tasks or project management files** - Focus only on template structure
+
 ## Environment File Distinction
 - **Template `.env.example`**: Contains TaskMaster CLI configuration (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, etc.)
 - **Project `.env`**: Will contain application-specific configuration (database URLs, app API keys, etc.)
 - **Never mix these**: TaskMaster configuration is separate from project application configuration
+
+## After Template Initialization
+Template initialization is complete after customizing the project files. TaskMaster, PRD creation, and git setup are separate workflows that require explicit user requests.

 ## Template Setup Workflow
 For detailed steps on template setup when initializing a project, see [template_setup.mdc](mdc:.cursor/rules/template_setup.mdc).
 
+**IMPORTANT**: Template initialization is ONLY about setting up project structure and configuration. TaskMaster, PRD creation, and git setup are separate workflows that require explicit user requests.
