<parsing_rules>
**Flag parsing:**

1. Defaults loaded from `steps/step-00-init.md` `<defaults>` section
2. Command-line flags override defaults (enable with lowercase `-x`, disable with uppercase `-X`)
3. Flags removed from input, remainder becomes `{task_description}`
4. Task ID generated as `NN-kebab-case-description`

For detailed parsing algorithm, see `steps/step-00-init.md`.
</parsing_rules>

</parameters>

**When `{save_mode}` = true:**

All outputs saved to PROJECT directory (where Claude Code is running):
