fix: correct CLI command names for expand operations in llms-install.md by withsivram · Pull Request #1659 · eyaltoledano/claude-task-master

withsivram · 2026-03-20T16:33:00Z

Summary

Fixes incorrect expand-task and expand-all references in llms-install.md to the actual CLI syntax: task-master expand --id=<id> and task-master expand --all
The MCP tool expand_task maps to the CLI expand command (not expand-task) — assets/AGENTS.md already documented this correctly, only llms-install.md had the wrong names

Test plan

Verify llms-install.md "Next Steps" section shows correct CLI commands
Confirm no other user-facing docs reference expand-task as a CLI command

Fixes #1640

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Updated CLI command syntax for task expansion operations to use the new task-master expand format with flag-based options.

…md (fixes eyaltoledano#1640) The llms-install.md "Next Steps" section incorrectly listed `expand-task` and `expand-all` as CLI command names. These are internal identifiers — the actual CLI commands are `task-master expand --id=<id>` and `task-master expand --all`. The `expand_task` MCP tool maps to the `expand` CLI command (not `expand-task`), and `expand_all` maps to `expand --all`. The `assets/AGENTS.md` (which generates `.taskmaster/CLAUDE.md`) already correctly documented this mapping; only llms-install.md had the wrong command names in a user-facing context. No other files contained incorrect CLI command references for these operations — other occurrences of `expand-task` in the codebase are internal command identifiers used for telemetry, schema lookup, and prompt management (via `commandName: 'expand-task'`), not CLI commands.

llms-install.md

 - Create new tasks with `add-task` or parse a PRD (scripts/prd.txt) into tasks with `parse-prd`
 - Set up model preferences with `models` tool
- Expand tasks into subtasks with `expand-all` and `expand-task`
+- Expand tasks into subtasks with `task-master expand --all` or `task-master expand --id=<id>`


In the "Next Steps" list, this bullet now uses the fully qualified CLI form (task-master expand ...) while the surrounding bullets use bare subcommand names (add-task, parse-prd, models). For consistency and to avoid confusing users about whether these are CLI subcommands or MCP tool names, please standardize the formatting (either prefix all of them with task-master, or remove the prefix here and keep only the subcommand/flags).

Suggested change

- Expand tasks into subtasks with `task-master expand --all` or `task-master expand --id=<id>`

- Expand tasks into subtasks with `expand --all` or `expand --id=<id>`

There appear to be two stray backticks at the end of the sentence `For detailed documentation, refer to the Task Master docs directory.```. This breaks Markdown formatting; please remove the extra backticks so the paragraph renders correctly.
