+Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)
+
+## Deferring a Task
+
+This status indicates a task is valid but not currently actionable or prioritized.
+
+## Valid Reasons for Deferral
+
+- Waiting for external dependencies
+- Reprioritized for future sprint
+- Blocked by technical limitations
+- Resource constraints
+- Strategic timing considerations
+
+## Execution
+
+```bash
+task-master set-status --id=$ARGUMENTS --status=deferred
+```
+
+## Deferral Management
+
+When deferring:
+1. **Document Reason**
+   - Capture why it's being deferred
+   - Set reactivation criteria
+   - Note any partial work completed
+
+2. **Impact Analysis**
+   - Check dependent tasks
+   - Update project timeline
+   - Notify affected stakeholders
+
+3. **Future Planning**
+   - Set review reminders
+   - Tag for specific milestone
+   - Preserve context for reactivation
+   - Link to blocking issues
+
+## Smart Tracking
+
+- Monitor deferral duration
+- Alert when criteria met
+- Prevent scope creep
+- Regular review cycles
