+# Code Style and Conventions for TaskBuffer
+
+## File Structure
+- Source code in `ts/` directory
+- Tests in `test/` directory
+- Compiled output in `dist_ts/`
+- All filenames must be lowercase
+
+## Naming Conventions
+- **Interfaces**: Prefix with `I` (e.g., `ITaskFunction`)
+- **Types**: Prefix with `T` (e.g., `TPreOrAfterTaskFunction`)
+- **Classes**: PascalCase (e.g., `TaskManager`)
+- **Files**: `taskbuffer.classes.{classname}.ts` pattern
+- **Test files**: `test.{number}.{feature}.ts` pattern
+
+## TypeScript Conventions
+- Use ES modules (import/export)
+- Avoid ENums when possible
+- Import dependencies through `plugins.ts`
+- Reference with full path: `plugins.myModule.myClass()`
+- Use async/await patterns consistently
+- Strong typing throughout
+
+## Testing Conventions
+- Import expect from `@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle`
+- Test files end with `export default tap.start()`
+- Use descriptive test names with tap.test()
+- Test both browser and node when applicable
+
+## Code Quality
+- Make focused, goal-oriented changes
+- Preserve necessary complexity
+- Keep code elegant and maintainable
+- No inline documentation unless requested
+- Complete implementations only (no partial work)

+# TaskBuffer Project Overview
+
+## Purpose
+@push.rocks/taskbuffer is a powerful TypeScript-first task management library for orchestrating asynchronous operations. It provides flexible task execution patterns including buffered execution, task chains, parallel execution, scheduling, debouncing, and one-time execution.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Language**: TypeScript (ES modules)
+- **Runtime**: Node.js
+- **Build Tool**: tsbuild, tsbundle
+- **Test Framework**: @git.zone/tstest (tapbundle)
+- **Package Manager**: pnpm
+- **Module System**: ES modules (type: "module")
+
+## Key Features
+- Task: Basic unit of work with async function wrapping
+- Taskchain: Sequential task execution with result passing
+- Taskparallel: Parallel task execution
+- TaskManager: Cron-based task scheduling
+- TaskDebounced: Debounced execution pattern
+- TaskOnce: Singleton execution pattern
+- TaskRunner: Distributed task execution
+- BufferRunner: Smart concurrent execution control
+
+## Main Entry Points
+- Main export: `ts/index.ts`
+- Compiled output: `dist_ts/index.js`
+- All classes exported from index for clean API

+# Task Completion Checklist for TaskBuffer
+
+## Before Marking Any Task Complete
+
+### 1. Code Quality Checks
+- [ ] Run build to ensure TypeScript compiles: `pnpm run build`
+- [ ] Run tests to ensure nothing breaks: `pnpm test`
+- [ ] Type check test files: `tsbuild check test/**/* --skiplibcheck`
+
+### 2. Code Review
+- [ ] All changes are focused and purposeful
+- [ ] No unnecessary modifications made
+- [ ] Code follows project naming conventions
+- [ ] Imports use the plugins.ts pattern where applicable
+- [ ] All async operations use proper async/await
+
+### 3. Testing
+- [ ] New features have corresponding tests
+- [ ] Existing tests still pass
+- [ ] Test files end with `export default tap.start()`
+- [ ] Tests use proper expect from tapbundle
+
+### 4. Documentation
+- [ ] readme.md updated if new features added
+- [ ] Code is self-explanatory (no comments unless requested)
+- [ ] API changes documented
+
+### 5. Git Hygiene
+- [ ] Changes are staged appropriately
+- [ ] Commit message is clear and focused
+- [ ] NO commits made without explicit user approval
+
+## Common Issues to Check
+- No uppercase filenames
+- No direct npm usage (use pnpm)
+- No guessing APIs (always check documentation)
+- No partial implementations

-## Usage
-
-We highly recommend TypeScript as this module supports **TypeScript intellisense**.
-
-```javascript
-import * as taskbuffer from "taskbuffer";
-
-myTask = new taskbuffer.Task({
-  preTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
-  afterTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
-  name:"myTask1",
-  buffered: true, // optional
-  bufferMax: 3, // optional, call qeues greater than this are truncated
-  execDelay: 1000, // optional, time in ms to wait before executing task call
-  taskFunction:() => {
-    // do some stuff and return promise
-    // pass on any data through promise resolution
-    // Use TypeScript for better understanding and code completion
-  }
-})
+```bash
+npm install @push.rocks/taskbuffer --save
 ```

-## Legal
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Task Venture Capital GmbH](https://task.vc)
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+### 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
+
+```typescript
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+// Create a simple task
+const myTask = new Task({
+  name: 'DataProcessor',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    const data = await fetchData();
+    return processData(data);
+  }
+});
+
+// Execute the task
+const result = await myTask.trigger();
+```
+
+### Buffered Execution (Rate Limiting)
+
+Perfect for API calls or database operations that need throttling:
+
+```typescript
+const apiTask = new Task({
+  name: 'APICall',
+  taskFunction: async (endpoint: string) => {
+    return await fetch(endpoint);
+  },
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 3, // Maximum 3 concurrent executions
+  execDelay: 1000 // Wait 1 second between executions
+});
+
+// These will be automatically throttled
+for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
+  apiTask.trigger(`/api/data/${i}`);
+}
+```
+
+### Task Chains - Sequential Workflows
+
+Build complex workflows where each step depends on the previous:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, Taskchain } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const fetchTask = new Task({
+  name: 'FetchData',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/data');
+    return response.json();
+  }
+});
+
+const transformTask = new Task({
+  name: 'TransformData',
+  taskFunction: async (data) => {
+    return data.map(item => ({
+      ...item,
+      processed: true,
+      timestamp: Date.now()
+    }));
+  }
+});
+
+const saveTask = new Task({
+  name: 'SaveData',
+  taskFunction: async (transformedData) => {
+    await database.bulkInsert(transformedData);
+    return { saved: transformedData.length };
+  }
+});
+
+const workflow = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'DataPipeline',
+  taskArray: [fetchTask, transformTask, saveTask]
+});
+
+// Execute the entire chain
+const result = await workflow.trigger();
+console.log(`Processed ${result.saved} items`);
+```
+
+### Parallel Execution - Maximum Performance
+
+Execute multiple independent tasks simultaneously:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, Taskparallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const tasks = ['user', 'posts', 'comments'].map(resource => 
+  new Task({
+    name: `Fetch${resource}`,
+    taskFunction: async () => {
+      const data = await fetch(`/api/${resource}`);
+      return data.json();
+    }
+  })
+);
+
+const parallelFetch = new Taskparallel({
+  taskArray: tasks
+});
+
+// All tasks execute simultaneously
+const [users, posts, comments] = await parallelFetch.trigger();
+```
+
+### Scheduled Tasks with TaskManager
+
+Run tasks on a schedule using cron expressions:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const backupTask = new Task({
+  name: 'DatabaseBackup',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    await performBackup();
+    console.log(`Backup completed at ${new Date().toISOString()}`);
+  }
+});
+
+const manager = new TaskManager();
+
+// Add and schedule tasks
+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();
+```
+
+### Debounced Tasks - Smart Throttling
+
+Prevent task spam with intelligent debouncing:
+
+```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 🌍

+      const healthy = await checkHealth(service.url);
+      if (!healthy) {
+        await alertOps(service);
+      }
+    }
