+
+## Core Concepts 🎓
+
+### Task
+The fundamental unit of work. A task wraps an asynchronous function and provides powerful execution control.
+
+### Taskchain
+Sequential task execution - tasks run one after another, with results passed along the chain.
+
+### Taskparallel
+Parallel task execution - multiple tasks run simultaneously for maximum performance.
+
+### TaskManager
+Centralized task scheduling and management using cron expressions.
+
+### TaskDebounced
+Debounced task execution - prevents rapid repeated executions, only running after a quiet period.
+
+### TaskOnce
+Singleton task execution - ensures a task runs exactly once, perfect for initialization routines.
+
+## Quick Start 🏁
 
 ### Basic Task Execution
-To create and run a simple task:
 
 ```typescript
 import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-const simpleTask = new Task({
+// Create a simple task
-  name: 'SimpleTask',
+const myTask = new Task({
+  name: 'DataProcessor',
   taskFunction: async () => {
-    console.log('Executing a simple task');
+    const data = await fetchData();
-    // Perform your task here (e.g., fetch data from an API)
+    return processData(data);
   }
 });
 
-// Trigger the task
+// Execute the task
-simpleTask.trigger();
+const result = await myTask.trigger();
 ```
 
-This basic example creates a task that prints a message to the console when executed.
+### Buffered Execution (Rate Limiting)
 
-### Buffered Task Execution
+Perfect for API calls or database operations that need throttling:
-Buffered tasks allow you to throttle task executions, for example, to avoid overwhelming a server with simultaneous requests:
 
 ```typescript
-import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+const apiTask = new Task({
-
+  name: 'APICall',
-const bufferedTask = new Task({
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint: string) => {
-  name: 'BufferedTask',
+    return await fetch(endpoint);
-  taskFunction: async () => {
-    // Task implementation
-    console.log('Buffered task execution');
   },
   buffered: true,
-  bufferMax: 3 // Maximum number of concurrent executions
+  bufferMax: 3, // Maximum 3 concurrent executions
+  execDelay: 1000 // Wait 1 second between executions
 });
 
-// Trigger the task multiple times
+// These will be automatically throttled
-bufferedTask.trigger();
+for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
-bufferedTask.trigger();
+  apiTask.trigger(`/api/data/${i}`);
-bufferedTask.trigger();
+}
-bufferedTask.trigger();
 ```
 
-In this scenario, only three instances of `bufferedTask` will run concurrently, thanks to the buffer settings.
+### Task Chains - Sequential Workflows
 
-### Task Chains
+Build complex workflows where each step depends on the previous:
-Task chains are a powerful feature that allows you to execute tasks in a specified order:
 
 ```typescript
 import { Task, Taskchain } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-const firstTask = new Task({
+const fetchTask = new Task({
-  name: 'FirstTask',
+  name: 'FetchData',
   taskFunction: async () => {
-    console.log('First task execution');
+    const response = await fetch('/api/data');
-    // First task logic
+    return response.json();
   }
 });
 
-const secondTask = new Task({
+const transformTask = new Task({
-  name: 'SecondTask',
+  name: 'TransformData',
-  taskFunction: async () => {
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
-    console.log('Second task execution');
+    return data.map(item => ({
-    // Second task logic
+      ...item,
+      processed: true,
+      timestamp: Date.now()
+    }));
   }
 });
 
-const taskChain = new Taskchain({
+const saveTask = new Task({
-  name: 'MyTaskChain',
+  name: 'SaveData',
-  taskArray: [firstTask, secondTask] // Tasks will be executed in the order they are provided
+  taskFunction: async (transformedData) => {
+    await database.bulkInsert(transformedData);
+    return { saved: transformedData.length };
+  }
 });
 
-// Trigger the task chain
+const workflow = new Taskchain({
-taskChain.trigger();
+  name: 'DataPipeline',
+  taskArray: [fetchTask, transformTask, saveTask]
+});
+
+// Execute the entire chain
+const result = await workflow.trigger();
+console.log(`Processed ${result.saved} items`);
 ```
 
-### Parallel Task Execution
+### Parallel Execution - Maximum Performance
-To run tasks in parallel, use `Taskparallel`:
+
+Execute multiple independent tasks simultaneously:
 
 ```typescript
 import { Task, Taskparallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-const taskOne = new Task({
+const tasks = ['user', 'posts', 'comments'].map(resource => 
-  name: 'TaskOne',
+  new Task({
+    name: `Fetch${resource}`,
     taskFunction: async () => {
-    // Task one logic
+      const data = await fetch(`/api/${resource}`);
-    console.log('Task one execution');
+      return data.json();
     }
+  })
+);
+
+const parallelFetch = new Taskparallel({
+  taskArray: tasks
 });
 
-const taskTwo = new Task({
+// All tasks execute simultaneously
-  name: 'TaskTwo',
+const [users, posts, comments] = await parallelFetch.trigger();
-  taskFunction: async () => {
-    // Task two logic
-    console.log('Task two execution');
-  }
-});
-
-const parallelTask = new Taskparallel({
-  taskArray: [taskOne, taskTwo] // These tasks will be executed in parallel
-});
-
-// Trigger the parallel tasks
-parallelTask.trigger();
 ```
 
-### Task Scheduling with Task Manager
+### Scheduled Tasks with TaskManager
-`@push.rocks/taskbuffer` also provides a `TaskManager` to schedule tasks using cron expressions:
+
+Run tasks on a schedule using cron expressions:
 
 ```typescript
 import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-const scheduledTask = new Task({
+const backupTask = new Task({
-  name: 'ScheduledTask',
+  name: 'DatabaseBackup',
   taskFunction: async () => {
-    console.log('Scheduled task execution');
+    await performBackup();
-    // Task logic here
+    console.log(`Backup completed at ${new Date().toISOString()}`);
   }
 });
 
-const taskManager = new TaskManager();
+const manager = new TaskManager();
-taskManager.addAndScheduleTask(scheduledTask, '0 * * * * *'); // Execute task at the start of every minute
 
-// Start the task manager to enable the scheduled execution
+// Add and schedule tasks
-taskManager.start();
+manager.addAndScheduleTask(backupTask, '0 0 * * *'); // Daily at midnight
+manager.addAndScheduleTask(healthCheck, '*/5 * * * *'); // Every 5 minutes
+
+// Start the scheduler
+manager.start();
+
+// Later... stop if needed
+manager.stop();
 ```
 
-### Advanced Use Cases
+### Debounced Tasks - Smart Throttling
-The flexibility of `@push.rocks/taskbuffer` allows for more sophisticated task management scenarios. You can combine the features mentioned above to fit your specific needs, such as chaining parallel tasks, dynamically adding tasks to a manager or chain based on conditions, and much more.
 
-`@push.rocks/taskbuffer` leverages TypeScript's advanced typing features to provide you with clear and predictable APIs, making it easier to build and maintain complex task management logic within your application.
+Prevent task spam with intelligent debouncing:
 
-For further information and advanced configurations, please refer to the [official documentation](https://gitlab.com/pushrocks/taskbuffer).
+```typescript
+import { TaskDebounced } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const saveTask = new TaskDebounced({
+  name: 'AutoSave',
+  taskFunction: async (content: string) => {
+    await saveToDatabase(content);
+    console.log('Content saved');
+  },
+  debounceTimeInMillis: 2000 // Wait 2 seconds of inactivity
+});
+
+// Rapid calls will be debounced
+input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
+  saveTask.trigger(e.target.value);
+});
+```
+
+### One-Time Tasks - Initialize Once
+
+Ensure initialization code runs exactly once:
+
+```typescript
+import { TaskOnce } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const initTask = new TaskOnce({
+  name: 'SystemInitialization',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    await database.connect();
+    await cache.initialize();
+    await loadConfiguration();
+    console.log('System initialized');
+  }
+});
+
+// Safe to call multiple times - only runs once
+await initTask.trigger();
+await initTask.trigger(); // This won't run again
+```
+
+## Advanced Features 🔥
+
+### Task Dependencies with Pre/Post Hooks
+
+Create sophisticated task relationships:
+
+```typescript
+const validationTask = new Task({
+  name: 'ValidateInput',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+    if (!isValid(data)) {
+      throw new Error('Validation failed');
+    }
+    return data;
+  }
+});
+
+const mainTask = new Task({
+  name: 'ProcessData',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+    return await complexProcessing(data);
+  },
+  preTask: validationTask,  // Runs before main task
+  afterTask: cleanupTask     // Runs after main task
+});
+```
+
+### Task Runners - Distributed Execution
+
+The TaskRunner system enables distributed task execution across multiple workers:
+
+```typescript
+import { TaskRunner } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const runner = new TaskRunner({
+  name: 'WorkerNode1',
+  maxConcurrentTasks: 5
+});
+
+// Register tasks this runner can handle
+runner.registerTask(dataProcessingTask);
+runner.registerTask(imageResizeTask);
+
+// Start processing
+runner.start();
+```
+
+### Buffer Management Strategies
+
+Fine-tune concurrent execution behavior:
+
+```typescript
+const task = new Task({
+  name: 'ResourceIntensive',
+  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 5,        // Max 5 concurrent
+  execDelay: 100,      // 100ms between starts
+  timeout: 30000       // 30 second timeout
+});
+```
+
+### Cycle Detection and Prevention
+
+TaskBuffer automatically detects and prevents circular dependencies:
+
+```typescript
+const taskA = new Task({
+  name: 'TaskA',
+  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
+  preTask: taskB  // This would create a cycle
+});
+
+const taskB = new Task({
+  name: 'TaskB',
+  taskFunction: async () => { /* ... */ },
+  preTask: taskA  // Circular dependency detected!
+});
+```
+
+### Dynamic Task Creation
+
+Create tasks on-the-fly based on runtime conditions:
+
+```typescript
+const dynamicWorkflow = async (config: Config) => {
+  const tasks = config.steps.map(step => 
+    new Task({
+      name: step.name,
+      taskFunction: async (input) => {
+        return await processStep(step, input);
+      }
+    })
+  );
+  
+  const chain = new Taskchain({
+    name: 'DynamicWorkflow',
+    taskArray: tasks
+  });
+  
+  return await chain.trigger();
+};
+```

+
+## Performance Tips 🏎️
+
+1. **Use buffering for I/O operations**: Prevents overwhelming external services
+2. **Leverage parallel execution**: When tasks are independent, run them simultaneously
+3. **Implement proper error handling**: Use try-catch in task functions
+4. **Monitor task execution**: Use the built-in stats and logging
+5. **Set appropriate timeouts**: Prevent hanging tasks from blocking your system
+
+## Error Handling 🛡️
+
+```typescript
+const robustTask = new Task({
+  name: 'RobustOperation',
+  taskFunction: async (input) => {
+    try {
+      return await riskyOperation(input);
+    } catch (error) {
+      // Log error
+      console.error(`Task failed: ${error.message}`);
+      
+      // Optionally retry
+      if (error.retryable) {
+        return await riskyOperation(input);
+      }
+      
+      // Or return default value
+      return defaultValue;
+    }
+  },
+  timeout: 5000 // Fail if takes longer than 5 seconds
+});
+```
+
+## Real-World Examples 🌍
+
+### API Rate Limiting
+
+```typescript
+const apiClient = new Task({
+  name: 'RateLimitedAPI',
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint: string) => {
+    return await fetch(`https://api.example.com${endpoint}`);
+  },
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 10,    // 10 requests
+  execDelay: 100    // Per 100ms = 100 req/s max
+});
+```
+
+### Database Migration Pipeline
+
+```typescript
+const migrationChain = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'DatabaseMigration',
+  taskArray: [
+    backupTask,
+    schemaUpdateTask,
+    dataTransformTask,
+    validationTask,
+    cleanupTask
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Microservice Health Monitoring
+
+```typescript
+const healthMonitor = new TaskManager();
+
+services.forEach(service => {
+  const healthCheck = new Task({
+    name: `HealthCheck:${service.name}`,
+    taskFunction: async () => {
+      const healthy = await checkHealth(service.url);
+      if (!healthy) {
+        await alertOps(service);
+      }
+    }
+  });
+  
+  healthMonitor.addAndScheduleTask(healthCheck, '*/1 * * * *'); // Every minute
+});
+```
+
+## Testing 🧪
+
+```typescript
+import { expect, tap } from '@git.zone/tstest';
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+tap.test('should execute task successfully', async () => {
+  const result = await myTask.trigger();
+  expect(result).toEqual(expectedValue);
+});
+
+tap.start();
+```
