+# TaskNinja
+
+![TaskNinja Logo](https://via.placeholder.com/150?text=TaskNinja) <!-- Optional: Replace with actual logo if available -->
+
+A simple Command-Line Interface (CLI) application built with JavaScript for managing your to-do tasks. It allows users to add, list, update, and delete tasks interactively, with features like status tracking, priority levels, due dates, and descriptions. Tasks are stored in a local JSON file for persistence.
+
+This project is designed for developers and users who prefer a lightweight, terminal-based task manager without the need for complex setups or databases.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Add Tasks**: Create new tasks with title, status (todo, in-progress, done), priority (low, medium, high), due date, and optional description.
+- **List Tasks**: View all tasks or filter by status in a tabular format.
+- **Update Tasks**: Change the status of existing tasks via interactive selection.
+- **Delete Tasks**: Remove tasks with confirmation to prevent accidental deletion.
+- **Persistent Storage**: Tasks are saved to a local `todos.json` file.
+- **Interactive Prompts**: Uses Inquirer for user-friendly input.
+- **Validation**: Ensures valid statuses, priorities, and date formats.
+
+## Technologies Used
+
+- **Node.js**: Runtime environment.
+- **Commander**: For parsing command-line arguments and defining commands.
+- **Inquirer**: For interactive CLI prompts.
+- **fs/promises**: For asynchronous file system operations to handle task storage.
+- **ECMAScript Modules (ESM)**: Modern JavaScript module system.
+
+The application is written in pure JavaScript (ES6+), with no additional frameworks or databases required.
+
+## Installation
+
+### From npm
+
+TaskNinja is published on npm as `taskninja`. Install it globally to use the CLI commands from anywhere:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g taskninja
+```
+
+After installation, you can run the CLI using the `dotask` command (as defined in `package.json`).
+
+### From Source
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/taskninja.git
+   cd taskninja
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+3. Link the CLI globally (optional, for testing):
+   ```bash
+   npm link
+   ```
+
+4. Run the application:
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   ```
+   Or directly:
+   ```bash
+   node app.js
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the CLI with the `dotask` command (after global installation) or `node app.js` from the source.
+
+### Commands
+
+- **Add a Task**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask add
+  ```
+  - This will prompt you interactively for title, status, priority, due date, and description.
+  - Example output: "Task added successfully!"
+
+- **List Tasks**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask list
+  ```
+  - Lists all tasks in a table format.
+  - Optional filter by status: `dotask list --status todo` (or `-s todo`).
+  - Aliases: `dotask ls`.
+
+- **Update a Task**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask update
+  ```
+  - Prompts to select a task by ID and update its status.
+  - Displays the updated task in a table.
+  - Aliases: `dotask up`.
+
+- **Delete a Task**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask delete
+  ```
+  - Prompts to select a task by ID and confirm deletion.
+  - Aliases: `dotask del`.
+
+- **Help**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask --help
+  ```
+  - Shows all available commands and options.
+
+- **Version**:
+  ```bash
+  dotask --version
+  ```
+  - Displays the current version (1.0.0).
+
+### Examples
+
+1. Adding a task:
+   ```
+   dotask add
+   ```
+   - Follow prompts: Enter "Buy groceries" as title, select "todo" status, "medium" priority, "2024-12-31" due date, and "Milk, eggs, bread" as description.
+
+2. Listing tasks filtered by status:
+   ```
+   dotask list -s in-progress
+   ```
+
+3. Updating a task:
+   ```
+   dotask update
+   ```
+   - Select task ID from the list and choose new status (e.g., "done").
+
+4. Deleting a task:
+   ```
+   dotask delete
+   ```
+   - Select task ID and confirm.
+
+Tasks are stored in `./todos.json` relative to where the command is run. Ensure write permissions in the directory.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- **Task File**: Defaults to `./todos.json`. You can modify `TASKS_FILE` in `app.js` if needed.
+- **Statuses**: Limited to "todo", "in-progress", "done".
+- **Priorities**: Limited to "low", "medium", "high".
+- **Due Date Format**: YYYY-MM-DD (validated during input).
+
+No external configuration files are required.
+
+## Development
+
+To run in development mode:
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+This executes `node app.js` for quick testing.
+
+### Scripts
+
+- `npm start`: Runs the app.
+- `npm test`: Placeholder for tests (currently errors out; add tests as needed).
