Feedback Summary

When initialising my project, a whole bunch of rules were added to an existing repo, first of all it added rules for cursor, windsurf and roo, not everyone uses all three. On top of that the rules added to my cursor where very verbose and several files were added. I'm not sure if all of those rules would be strictly necessary and some things might bloat the context a bit too much.

User Context

Initialising task master on an existing project

User Impact

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the new files added

Suggestions

Allow the user to select which tools they use, and give the user more insight into the rules being added to cursor.

Relevant Screenshots or Examples
