+# @task-mcp/shared
+
+Core algorithms, schemas, and utilities for task-mcp. Zero MCP dependency - can be used standalone.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @task-mcp/shared
+```
+
+## Modules
+
+### Algorithms
+
+Graph algorithms for task dependency management.
+
+| Module | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `critical-path` | CPM (Critical Path Method) - finds longest path, parallel tasks, bottlenecks |
+| `topological-sort` | Kahn's algorithm for dependency ordering with cycle detection |
+| `dependency-integrity` | Validates dependency graph integrity (cycles, orphans, self-refs) |
+| `tech-analysis` | Analyzes tasks for technology stack patterns |
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  findCriticalPath,
+  findParallelTasks,
+  detectBottlenecks,
+  topologicalSort,
+  validateDependencies
+} from "@task-mcp/shared";
+
+// Find critical path through task graph
+const { criticalPath, totalDuration } = findCriticalPath(tasks);
+
+// Find tasks that can run in parallel
+const parallelGroups = findParallelTasks(tasks);
+
+// Topological sort with cycle detection
+const { sorted, hasCycle } = topologicalSort(tasks);
+```
+
+### Schemas
+
+Zod schemas for validation and type inference.
+
+| Schema | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `Task` | Task with status, priority, dependencies, hierarchy |
+| `InboxItem` | Quick capture items pending triage |
+| `ResponseFormat` | `concise` / `standard` / `detailed` output modes |
+| `View` | Filtered task views (today, blocked, quick-wins) |
+
+```typescript
+import { TaskSchema, Task, Priority, Status } from "@task-mcp/shared";
+
+// Validate and parse
+const task = TaskSchema.parse(rawData);
+
+// Type inference
+type Task = z.infer<typeof TaskSchema>;
+```
+
+### Utilities
+
+| Utility | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `natural-language` | Parse "task !high @context #tag due:tomorrow" syntax |
+| `workspace` | Auto-detect workspace from git repository name |
+| `projection` | Format tasks to concise/standard/detailed (70-88% token savings) |
+| `hierarchy` | Build parent-child tree, find descendants/ancestors |
+| `date` | Parse relative dates ("tomorrow", "next week", "in 3 days") |
+| `id` | Generate collision-resistant IDs (`task_xxxx`, `inbox_xxxx`) |
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  parseNaturalLanguage,
+  detectWorkspace,
+  formatTask,
+  buildHierarchy
+} from "@task-mcp/shared";
+
+// Parse natural language input
+const parsed = parseNaturalLanguage("Review PR !high @work #urgent due:tomorrow");
+// { title: "Review PR", priority: "high", contexts: ["work"], tags: ["urgent"], dueDate: "2024-01-02" }
+
+// Detect workspace from git
+const workspace = await detectWorkspace(); // "task-mcp"
+
+// Format for token efficiency
+const concise = formatTask(task, "concise");
+// { id, title, status, priority } - minimal fields
+```
+

+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **Zero MCP dependency** - Can be used in any TypeScript project
+2. **Zod-first validation** - Runtime safety with static types
+3. **Algorithm efficiency** - O(n+e) graph operations
+4. **Token optimization** - Projection system reduces LLM token usage by 70-88%
