## ✨ Major New Features

### 🎯 **Core Task Decomposition Standards**

Revolutionary task decomposition system with four core principles that prevent over-fragmentation and ensure optimal task organization:

#### **1. Functional Completeness Principle**
- Each task delivers a complete, independently runnable functional unit
- Includes all related files: logic, UI, tests, configuration
- Provides clear business value when completed
- Can be deployed and tested independently

#### **2. Minimum Size Threshold**
- Tasks must contain at least 3 related files or 200+ lines of code
- Prevents over-fragmentation and context switching overhead
- Forces proper task consolidation and planning
- Exceptions only for critical security or configuration files

#### **3. Dependency Cohesion Principle**
- Tightly coupled components must be completed together
- Shared data models, API endpoints, and user workflows grouped
- Prevents integration failures and build breakage
- Ensures atomic feature delivery

#### **4. Hierarchy Control Rule**
- **Flat structure**: ≤5 tasks (single level)
- **Hierarchical**: 6-10 tasks (two levels maximum)
- **Re-scope required**: >10 tasks (split into iterations)
- Hard limits prevent unmanageable complexity

### 🔍 **Advanced Search Strategies**

Powerful command combinations for comprehensive codebase analysis:

```bash
# Pattern discovery with context
rg -A 3 -B 3 'authenticate|login|jwt|auth' --type ts --type js | head -50

# Multi-tool analysis pipeline
find . -name '*.ts' | xargs rg -l 'auth' | head -15

# Interface extraction with awk
rg '^\\s*interface\\s+\\w+' --type ts -A 5 | awk '/interface/{p=1} p&&/^}/{p=0;print}'

# Dependency analysis pipeline
rg '^import.*from.*auth' --type ts | awk -F'from' '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c
```

### ⚡ **Free Exploration Phase**

Agents can now enter supplementary context gathering after completing structured pre-analysis:

- **Bash Command Access**: grep, find, rg, awk, sed for deep analysis
- **Flexible Investigation**: Beyond pre-defined analysis steps
- **Contextual Enhancement**: Gather edge case information and nuanced patterns
- **Quality Improvement**: More thorough understanding before implementation

### 🧠 **Intelligent Gemini Wrapper**

Smart automation that eliminates manual configuration:

- **Automatic Token Management**: Handles `--all-files` based on project size (2M token limit)
- **Smart Approval Modes**:
  - Analysis keywords → `--approval-mode default`
  - Development tasks → `--approval-mode yolo`
- **Error Logging**: Comprehensive tracking in `~/.claude/.logs/gemini-errors.log`
- **Performance Optimization**: Sub-second execution for common operations
