4. Integrate into daily routine:
   • Morning: kb standup
   • During day: Use templates for quick task creation
   • End of week: kb review
   • Monthly: kb archive 30

Compatibility

• ✅ Backward compatible with v1.0.0
• ✅ All existing commands still work
• ✅ API unchanged
• ✅ Database schema unchanged
• ✅ No breaking changes

Performance

• Search/filter operations: O(n) linear scan (acceptable for typical board sizes)
• Template loading: Lazy loaded from disk
• Export: Generates on-demand, supports large datasets
• Batch operations: Sequential API calls (could be parallelized in future)

Future Enhancements (Ideas)

• Parallel batch operations
• Template variables/placeholders
• Recurring task templates
• Export to additional formats (JSON, YAML)
• Advanced search with regex
• Saved filter presets
• Template sharing/import
