+
+⏺ Context Analysis
+
+  Current Situation:
+  - 0 tasks in-progress (clear to start fresh)
+  - 8 pending tasks available
+  - 20% project completion (2/10 tasks done)
+  - Task 3 has high priority and is unblocked
+
+  Next Recommended Task:
+
+  Task 3: Create 'When to Use SyntaxKit' DocC Tutorial
+
+  - Priority: High
+  - Status: Ready to start (dependency Task 2 is complete)
+  - Complexity: Medium (6/10)
+  - First Subtask: Research decision criteria framework (3.1)
+
+  Why this task:
+  - Highest priority available
+  - Addresses core user confusion about SyntaxKit's purpose
+  - Foundation for other documentation tasks
+  - Ready to start immediately
+
+  Preparation Steps:
+  1. Research existing decision frameworks
+  2. Analyze SyntaxKit use cases in codebase
+  3. Study Swift ecosystem patterns
+
+  Quick Alternative: Start with Task 5 (Quick Start tutorial) if you prefer a simpler entry point.
+
+  Ready to begin Task 3?
