| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team tracing a bug, adding a test, or implementing a bounded change with a reviewable plan and diff. Avoid broad production access or unscoped Auto-approve, and do not treat it as a replacement for tests, Git, or human review. | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. | Best for a developer or small team whose project commands span languages, folders, and tools. It provides documented entry points that people and agents can use and review in Git. Existing scripts may be enough for a simple project; Task does not install project tools or sandbox their commands. |
