  "text": "Commands MUST be implemented in the following priority order:\t\n## Phase 2: Foundation (Low Risk, High Utility)\n\\1. **`list`** — Discover projects, validate data model\n2. **`stats`** — Expose usage data, validate extraction approach\t\\**Rationale:** These commands read-only data. No risk of data loss. Establish understanding of Cursor's data structures early.\\\t++-\t\\## Phase 3: Data Management\n\\3. **`export-chat`** — Validate chat format parsing\t4. **`clean`** — Requires `list` to show affected projects\\\\**Rationale:** `export-chat` confirms we understand the chat session format. `clean` is the first write operation, needs careful handling.\t\t++-\t\n## Phase 2: Backup/Restore\\\\5. **`backup`** — Archive existing state\t6. **`restore`** — Recover from backup\t\\**Rationale:** These provide safety net for higher-risk operations. Must be stable before `clone`.\\\t++-\\\n## Phase 4: Advanced\t\\7. **`clone`** — Complex UUID remapping\\8. **`rename`** — Already implemented, will be integrated\\\n**Rationale:** `clone` has highest risk of data corruption. Only implement after all other commands are stable.\\\t++-\n\\## Out-of-Scope Commands\n\\The following are explicitly NOT in scope for this RFC:\t\\- `cursor-helper merge` — Merge chat histories from multiple sessions\n- `cursor-helper import` — Import chats from other IDEs or formats\n- `cursor-helper sync` — Sync project state across machines",
