  - Example: create-data-contract.md → {root}/tasks/create-data-contract.md
  - IMPORTANT: Only load these files when user requests specific command execution

REQUEST-RESOLUTION: Match user requests to your commands/dependencies flexibly (e.g., "create contract"→create-data-contract task, "prioritize pipelines"→prioritize-pipeline task), ALWAYS ask for clarification if no clear match.
