+
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
 npm i -g @agent-smith/cli
 ```
 
-A global `lm` command is available once installed.
+This installs the `lm` command globally.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Configure Your Backend
+
+Create a config file at `~/.config/agent-smith/config.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+backends:
+  default: "llamacpp"
+  llamacpp:
+    type: "openai"
+    url: "http://localhost:8080/v1"
+  openrouter:
+    type: "openai"
+    url: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
+    apiKey: "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY"
+```
+
+### 2. Sync Configuration
+
+```bash
+lm conf ~/.config/agent-smith/config.yml
+```
+
+This processes the YAML config and populates the SQLite database at `~/.config/agent-smith/config.db`.
+
+### 3. Run a Quick Query
+
+```bash
+lm q list the planets of the solar system
+```
+
+With a specific model:
 
-## Quickstart
+```bash
+lm q list the planets of the solar system -m gemma4b
+```
 
-Install the inference and the vision plugin:
+### 4. Enter Interactive Chat Mode
 
 ```bash
-npm i -g @agent-smith/feat-inference @agent-smith/feat-vision
+lm
 ```
 
-Create a `config.yml` file with this content:
+Then type your queries interactively. Use `exit` to quit.
+
+## Usage
 
-```yml
-plugins:
-  - "@agent-smith/feat-inference"
-  - "@agent-smith/feat-vision"
-  - "@agent-smith/feat-models"
+### Listing Agents
+
+List all registered agents:
+
+```bash
+lm agents
 ```
 
-Run the conf command to initialize:
+View an agent definition:
 
 ```bash
-lm conf ~/path/to/config.yml
+lm agent myagent
 ```
 
-### Inference
+### Running Agents
 
-Run an inference query with the <kbd>q</kbd> command, using an Ollama model that you already have:
+Run a specific agent with a prompt:
 
 ```bash
-lm q list the planets of the solar system m="llama3.1:latest"
+lm myagent "Explain quantum computing"
 ```
 
-### Vision
+With variables (if the agent requires them):
 
-Run a vision query: pull `minicpm-v:8b-2.6-q8_0` from Ollama and run:
+```bash
+lm myagent "Analyze this code" --workspace /path/to/project
+```
+
+### Using Different Backends
+
+Change the default backend:
 
 ```bash
-lm vision imgs/img1.jpeg imgs/img2.jpeg "Compare the images"
+lm backend openrouter
 ```
 
-### Tasks
+Use a specific backend for one execution:
 
-List the available tasks:
+```bash
+lm myagent "Hello" -b llamacpp
+```
+
+List available backends:
 
 ```bash
-lm tasks
+lm backends
 ```
 
-Show a task:
+### Inference Parameters
+
+Control model behavior with command-line options:
 
 ```bash
-lm task think
+lm q "Write a poem" \
+  --model qwen4b \
+  --temperature 0.7 \
+  --top_k 20 \
+  --top_p 0.95 \
+  --max_tokens 1024
 ```
 
-### Models
+### Input/Output Modes
 
-Show available models:
+**Clipboard input:**
+```bash
+lm q "Summarize this" --clipboard-input
+```
 
+**File input:**
 ```bash
-lm models
+lm q "Analyze" --input-file
 ```
 
-Search for a model:
+**Markdown output:**
+```bash
+lm q "Generate a report" --markdown-output
+```
 
+**Clipboard output:**
 ```bash
-lm model qwen
-```
+lm q "Generate code" --clipboard-output
+```
+
+### Chat Mode for Tasks
+
+Enable chat mode for multi-turn task execution:
+
+```bash
+lm myagent "Start a project" -c
+```
+
+### Verbose and Debug Modes
+
+```bash
+lm q "Hello" --verbose    # Show detailed execution info
+lm q "Hello" --debug       # Show debug-level output
+```
+
+## Complete Example
+
+Here's a full workflow: configuring backends, creating an agent, and running it with custom parameters.
+
+### Step 1: Create Features Directory
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/my-agents/features/agents
+mkdir -p ~/my-agents/features/actions
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Features Path
+
+Update `~/.config/agent-smith/config.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+features:
+  - ~/my-agents/features
+backends:
+  default: "llamacpp"
+  llamacpp:
+    type: "openai"
+    url: "http://localhost:8080/v1"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create an Agent
+
+Create `~/my-agents/features/agents/shell-demo.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+name: shell-demo
+description: A demo agent with shell tool access
+prompt: |-
+    {prompt}
+model: qwen4b
+inferParams:
+  min_p: 0
+  top_k: 20
+  top_p: 0.95
+  temperature: 0.4
+toolsList:
+  - shell
+variables:
+  required:
+    workspace:
+      description: The local directory path where to operate
+```
+
+### Step 4: Register and Run
+
+```bash
+# Register the new agent
+lm update
+
+# Run with a prompt and variable
+lm shell-demo "List files in the current directory" --workspace /path/to/dir
+```
+

+## Important Notes
+
+- **Node.js Required**: This package runs in Node.js environments only — it is not a browser library.
+- **Global Installation**: Designed for global installation via `npm i -g`. The `lm` binary is available system-wide.
+- **SQLite Database**: Configuration and features are stored in SQLite at `~/.config/agent-smith/config.db`.
+- **Dependencies**: Requires `@agent-smith/core` for feature execution and database operations.
+- **Backend Compatibility**: Supports any server with an OpenAI-compatible API (Llama.cpp, Ollama, Koboldcpp, OpenRouter, etc.).
+- **Related Packages**: 
+  - `@agent-smith/core` — Runtime engine for feature execution
+  - `@agent-smith/agent` — Agent inference loop
+  - `@agent-smith/wscli` — WebSocket client for server communication
