 ## How It Works
 
-Each agent runs in its own Claude process — not one model role-playing multiple personas. This produces genuine disagreements and better output because each agent reasons separately.
+All agents collaborate in a single Claude process — each with distinct roles, ground rules, and areas of expertise.
 
 1. You run `agentdesk team TASK-ID` in your project directory
 2. AgentDesk detects your project type, reads `CLAUDE.md`, and discovers existing agents
 3. The orchestrator manages 5 phases: **Intake** > **Brainstorm** > **Planning** > **Execution** > **Review**
-4. In brainstorm/planning/review, all agents run **in parallel** — each gets their own Claude session
-5. In execution, agents run sequentially: Dennis implements > Sam audits > Luna+Mark review > Vera tests > Bart QA
-6. The session streams live to [agentdesk.live](https://agentdesk.live) where you can watch and send messages to the team
-7. Token usage is tracked and displayed per session

-| Lite | `agentdesk team -d "..." --lite` | All agents share one process. Faster and cheaper. |
