+### Understanding the Output
+
+The task execution returns a structured response. For development and debugging, you might want to see both the full API response and the clean story output:
+
+- **Full API Response**: Contains metadata like token usage, model info, and the complete response structure
+- **Story Content**: The actual generated story extracted from `result.output['choices'][0]['message']['content']`
+
+You can toggle between development and production modes using the `DEBUG` flag.
+
