When to Use Each Command

When asked to see what tasks exist, use tasks list. Add --status or --priority to filter, or --search to find specific tasks.
When asked about a specific task, use tasks get <taskId>.
When asked to create a task, use tasks create with at least a --title.
When asked to update, change, or modify a task, use tasks update <taskId> with the fields to change.
When asked to mark a task as done/complete, use tasks update <taskId> --status Done.
