+### Task suites (standard vs easy)
+
+- Each MCP service now stores tasks under `tasks/<mcp>/<task_suite>/<category>/<task>/`.
+- `standard` (default) covers the full benchmark (127 tasks today).
+- `easy` hosts 10 lightweight tasks per MCP, ideal for smoke tests and CI (GitHub’s are already available under `tasks/github/easy`).
+- Switch suites with `--task-suite easy` (defaults to `--task-suite standard`).
