-# FastAPI Application
+# Task Manager API
 
-This is a FastAPI application bootstrapped by BackendIM, the AI-powered backend generation platform.
+A RESTful API for managing tasks built with FastAPI and SQLite.
+
+## Features
+
+- CRUD operations for tasks
+- Task filtering by status
+- Task pagination
+- Automatic API documentation
+- Health check endpoint
+
+## Project Structure

+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- Dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/taskmanagerapi-daenmk.git
+cd taskmanagerapi-daenmk
+```
+
+2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+```
+
+3. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+4. Run database migrations:
+```bash
+alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+## Running the Application
+
+Start the FastAPI server:
+
+```bash
+uvicorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+The API will be available at http://localhost:8000
+
+## API Documentation
+
+FastAPI generates interactive API documentation:
+
+- Swagger UI: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/redoc
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Health Check
+
+- `GET /health` - Check if the API is running
+
+### Tasks
+
+- `GET /api/v1/tasks` - List all tasks (with optional filtering and pagination)
+- `POST /api/v1/tasks` - Create a new task
+- `GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}` - Get a specific task
+- `PUT /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}` - Update a task
+- `DELETE /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}` - Delete a task
+
+## Task Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "string",
+  "description": "string",
+  "status": "string",
+  "priority": "string",
+  "due_date": "datetime",
+  "completed": false
+}
+```
+
+## Query Parameters
+
+For the `GET /api/v1/tasks` endpoint:
+
+- `skip` (int, default=0): Number of records to skip for pagination
+- `limit` (int, default=100): Maximum number of records to return
+- `status` (string, optional): Filter tasks by status (e.g., "pending", "completed")
+
+## Development
+
+### Linting
+
+Lint your code using Ruff:
+
+```bash
+ruff check .
+```
+
+Fix linting issues automatically:
+
+```bash
+ruff check --fix .
+```
+
+### Database Migrations
+
+Create a new migration after model changes:
+
+```bash
+alembic revision --autogenerate -m "description of changes"
+```
+
+Apply migrations:
+
+```bash
+alembic upgrade head
+```
