-## 🚀 What's New
-
-**v5.0.12** (October 2025): 🎯 Agent Rework - Eliminate Delegation Cycles
-- **MAJOR**: Complete agent governance refactoring (all 11 agents updated)
-- **NEW**: Smart ability loading with `abilitySelection` (30-50% reduction in prompt tokens)
-- **NEW**: Clear role ownership - Quality owns code-review/debugging, Security owns security-audit
-- **NEW**: Delegation depth controls - Implementers (depth 1), Quality (depth 1), Coordinators (depth 1)
-- **NEW**: 8 role-specific workflow stages (backend, frontend, quality, security, devops, data, design, strategic)
-- **NEW**: 3 specialized backend abilities (api-design, db-modeling, caching-strategy)
-- **FIXED**: Multi-hop delegation cycles eliminated (depth limits prevent infinite chains)
-- **IMPROVED**: Faster task completion (agents evaluate capabilities first before delegating)
-- **IMPROVED**: Better prompt focus (task-based ability loading)
-- **Result**: 99.7% test pass rate (1098/1101), zero breaking changes

+## 🚀 Two Ways to Use AutomatosX
+
+AutomatosX offers **two powerful modes** to fit your workflow:
+
+### 1️⃣ Claude Code Integration (Recommended)
+
+**Use AutomatosX agents directly inside Claude Code conversations** with the `/ax:agent` slash command.
+
+```bash
+# In Claude Code, use the slash command
+/ax:agent Paris, design a REST API for user authentication
+/ax:agent Bob, implement the auth API from Paris's design
+/ax:agent Steve, security audit the authentication code
+```
+
+**Perfect for**:
+- 💬 Interactive development workflows
+- 🔄 Seamless context switching within Claude Code
+- 🤝 Collaborative coding sessions
+- 🎯 Quick agent delegation while coding
+
+**How it works**: Claude Code executes AutomatosX commands behind the scenes, brings results back into your conversation, and maintains full context.
+
+### 2️⃣ Terminal/CLI Mode (Power Users)
+
+**Use AutomatosX as a standalone CLI tool** for automation, scripting, and direct control.
+
+```bash
+# In any terminal (Bash, Zsh, PowerShell)
+ax run Paris "Design REST API for user authentication"
+ax run Bob "Implement the auth API"           # Auto-receives Paris's design from memory
+ax run Steve "Security audit the auth code"   # Auto-receives design + implementation
+
+# Full CLI power
+ax memory search "authentication"
+ax agent list --by-team engineering
+ax session list --active
+```
+
+**Perfect for**:
+- ⚙️ CI/CD pipelines and automation scripts
+- 🔧 Custom workflows and integrations
+- 📊 Batch processing and reporting
+- 🎛️ Advanced configuration and debugging
+
+**How it works**: Direct command-line execution with full control over providers, memory, sessions, and configuration.
+
+### Which Mode Should I Use?
+
+| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
+|----------|------------------|
+| Coding in Claude Code | **Claude Code Integration** (`/ax:agent`) |
+| Automation scripts | **Terminal Mode** (`ax run`) |
+| CI/CD pipelines | **Terminal Mode** |
+| Quick questions during dev | **Claude Code Integration** |
+| Memory management | **Terminal Mode** |
+| Agent creation/management | **Terminal Mode** |
+| Multi-agent workflows | **Both work great!** |

+1. Claude Code executes AutomatosX behind the scenes
+2. Paris designs the API → Saved to memory
+3. Bob reads Paris's design from memory → Implements code
+4. Queenie reads everything → Writes comprehensive tests
+5. Results flow back into your Claude Code conversation

+ax run quality "Test the payment fix"
+# Quality knows the bug + fix → Comprehensive testing
 ```
 
 **Result**: Coordinated debugging with full context preservation

+ax run Eric "Business case for Paris's proposal"
 # Eric has analysis + spec → Strategic evaluation
 ```
 
 **Result**: Data-driven decision making with complete context
 
+### 🚀 Multi-Agent Delegation
+```bash
+# Single command triggers automatic multi-agent coordination
+ax run Paris "Build a user dashboard with real-time metrics"
+
+# Paris analyzes and delegates automatically in its response:
+# "I've designed the dashboard architecture:
+#
+# @Bob Please implement the REST API endpoints for user metrics
+# @Frank Please create the React dashboard components
+# @Steve Please review the data access security
+#
+# All specs are in my workspace."
+
+# AutomatosX automatically:
+# ✓ Bob implements backend API → Saves to workspace
+# ✓ Frank builds frontend UI → Reads Bob's API spec
+# ✓ Steve audits security → Reviews both implementations
+# ✓ Results aggregated → Complete dashboard delivered
+```
+
+**Result**: One command orchestrates 4 agents with automatic coordination
+
+**Delegation Syntaxes**:
+```bash
+@Bob Please implement this          # Direct mention
+DELEGATE TO Frank: Create the UI    # Explicit syntax
+Please ask Steve to audit this      # Polite request
+I need Daisy to analyze the data    # Need expression
