-Complete ready-to-use package of AI subagents, skills, and task templates for **Claude Code**, **OpenCode**, **Amp**, and **Droid**. Production-tested agent definitions from Simple + BMAD methodologies, zero configuration needed.
+Production-ready AI agent framework providing specialized subagents, workflow commands, and development skills for **Claude Code**, **OpenCode**, **Ampcode**, and **Droid**. Deploy expert AI personas instantly with zero configuration.
+
+---
+
+## Why Subagentic?
+
+**The Challenge**: Generic AI assistants lack specialized expertise and systematic workflows, leading to inconsistent results and context overload.
+
+**The Solution**: Subagentic provides:
+- **Role-Specialized Agents** - Expert personas (architect, QA, product manager) with domain-specific knowledge
+- **Systematic Workflows** - Proven development patterns (PRD → Tasks → Implementation)
+- **Orchestrator-First Routing** - Automatic workflow matching based on user intent
+- **Frontmatter-Based Discovery** - All resources self-describe via YAML frontmatter
+- **Platform Agnostic** - Works across Claude Code, OpenCode, Ampcode, and Droid
+
+**The Result**: Predictable, high-quality outputs from specialized agents following best practices, without manually switching contexts or crafting complex prompts.

-## 🎯 How to Use This Package
-
-### Claude Code (Orchestrator-First Pattern)
-1. **Install** – `cp -rv ai/subagentic/claude/* ~/.claude/`
-2. **Make requests naturally** – "Add authentication feature", "Review this code", "Plan next sprint"
-3. **Orchestrator routes automatically** – Matches intent to optimal workflow, asks conditional questions
-4. **Bypass when needed** – `@agent-name` or `As agent-name, ...` for direct agent access
-5. **9 workflow patterns** – Pre-defined sequences in CLAUDE.md (Feature Discovery, Architecture Decision, etc.)
-
-**Key files:**
-- `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` – Agent system with orchestrator-first routing and 9 workflows
-- `~/.claude/agents/` – 14 specialist agents (orchestrator, 1-create-prd, full-stack-dev, qa, etc.)
-- Project `CLAUDE.md` – Auto-created by context-initializer with agent system reminder
-
-### Other Platforms
-1. **Clone and Install** – Copy files to your CLI's config directory
-2. **Start with Workflow** – Use 1-create-prd → 2-generate-tasks → 3-process-task-list
-3. **Add Specialists** – Invoke agents by name for specific domain expertise
-4. **Leverage Skills** – Use skills within agents for specialized capabilities
-5. **Reuse Tasks** – Apply pre-built task templates for common patterns

+
+## 🎯 Usage Patterns
+
+### Claude Code: Orchestrator-First (Recommended)
+
+The orchestrator analyzes your request and routes to optimal workflows automatically.
+
+**How it works**:
+1. Make natural requests: "Add login feature", "Review this PR", "Plan next sprint"
+2. Orchestrator matches intent to workflow patterns
+3. Conditional gates ask for approval before each phase
+4. Specialists execute with domain expertise
+
+**Example Flow - Feature Development**:
+```
+User: "Add authentication feature"
+  ↓
+Orchestrator: "Research competitive approaches first?" [Yes/No]
+  ↓ Yes
+Market Researcher: [Gathers auth patterns, OAuth vs JWT tradeoffs]
+  ↓
+Orchestrator: "Create formal PRD?" [Yes/No]
+  ↓ Yes
+1-Create-PRD: [Structured requirements document]
+  ↓
+Orchestrator: "Generate implementation tasks?" [Yes/No]
+  ↓ Yes
+2-Generate-Tasks: [20 granular tasks with acceptance criteria]
+  ↓
+Orchestrator: "Start systematic implementation?" [Yes/No]
+  ↓ Yes
+3-Process-Task-List: [Iterative implementation with review gates]
+```
+
+**Bypass Options**:
+- Direct agent: `@quality-assurance review this code`
+- Role syntax: `As system-architect, design the API layer`
+- Skills: `/test-driven-development login-feature`
+
+### 9 Pre-Defined Workflow Patterns (Claude Only)
+
+Available in `claude/CLAUDE.md`:
+
+1. **Feature Discovery Flow** - Research → PRD → Tasks → Implementation
+2. **Product Definition Flow** - Strategy → Stories → Technical Assessment
+3. **Story Implementation Flow** - Validate → Implement → QA Gate
+4. **Architecture Decision Flow** - Constraints → Analysis → Alignment
+5. **UI Development Flow** - Design → PRD (optional) → Implement → Validate
+6. **Bug Triage Flow** - Investigate → Severity Assessment → Fix/Backlog
+7. **Brownfield Discovery Flow** - Context Building → Documentation → Assessment
+8. **Quality Validation Flow** - Review → Pass/Concerns/Fail → Remediation
+9. **Sprint Planning Flow** - Prioritize → Stories → Criteria → Tasks
+
+Each pattern includes conditional decision points requiring user approval.
+
+### Droid/Ampcode/OpenCode: Direct Command Invocation
+
+No orchestrator - invoke commands directly:
+- `/debug <issue>`
+- `/refactor <code-section>`
+- `/test-driven-development <feature>`
+
+Subagent workflows require manual coordination.
+
+---

+**Subagents** (`agents/*.md`):
+```yaml
+---
+id: code-developer
+title: Full Stack Developer
+description: Implement code, debug, refactor
+when_to_use: Use for code implementation, debugging, refactoring, and development best practices
+model: inherit
+color: purple
+---
+```
+
+**Skills** (`skills/*/SKILL.md`):

+id: test-driven-development
+name: test-driven-development
+description: Write test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass
+usage: /test-driven-development <feature-or-behavior-to-test>
+auto_trigger: true

+id: debug
+name: debug
+description: Debug an issue systematically using structured investigation techniques
+usage: /debug <issue-description>
+argument-hint: [description of the problem]

+```
+
+This enables:
+- Dynamic registry building by CLIs
+- Single source of truth (no manual registries)
+- Consistent metadata across platforms
+- Easy extensibility
