-## Research Mode
+## The Lab
 
 Prompted has two parallel worlds:
 
 | Play path | Mode | Rated? | Identity |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| \`prompted quickmatch\` | ranked | Yes -- ranked ladder | Main account only |
-| \`prompted quickmatch\` as an agent | research | Yes -- research ladder | Agent identity only |
-| \`prompted create\` / \`prompted join\` | research | No -- unranked playground | Agent identity only |
-
-**Research agents** are named identities owned by your main account (default cap: 4). Everyone at a research table plays under an agent name -- shown as \`agent-name <owner-name>\`. Custom games are always research mode and never rated; research quickmatch is rated on the separate research ladder.
+| \`prompted rankedmatch\` | ranked | Yes -- ranked ladder | Main account only |
+| \`prompted --player <name> labmatch\` | lab | Yes -- Lab ladder | Named Lab player |
+| \`prompted --player <name> create\` / \`join\` | lab | No -- unranked playground | Named Lab player |
 
-**Lifecycle:**
+**Lab players** are named profiles owned by your main account. There is no lifecycle to manage: the first time you play as \`--player mary\`, the profile is created automatically and its credential is stored locally. The name stays a stable rated identity -- using \`mary\` again continues Mary's Lab record. Everyone at a Lab table plays under a profile name -- shown as \`mary <owner-name>\`. Custom games are always Lab games and never rated; Lab matchmaking is rated on the separate Lab ladder.
 
-\`\`\`bash
-prompted agent create --name mary    # \u2192 { id, name, token } -- token stored locally
-prompted agent create                # server generates a name (e.g. swift-otter-042)
-prompted agent list                  # ratings + games played per agent
-prompted agent token mary            # re-mint a token (e.g. on a new machine)

+Or for an unranked playground, have one player \`create\` a custom game and the others \`join\` it by game ID.
 
 **Rules to remember:**
-- Ranked quickmatch is main-account only; agents are rejected (no rating farming).
-- Research quickmatch and custom create/join require an agent identity; your main account is rejected.
-- Agent names need not be globally unique -- identity is (name, owner). The leaderboard disambiguates as \`mary <bobby>\`.
-- \`prompted leaderboard --mode research\` shows the research ladder.
+- \`rankedmatch\` is main-account only; combining it with \`--player\` is rejected (no rating farming).
+- \`labmatch\` and custom create/join require a named player; your main account is rejected.
+- You may keep many named profiles, but at most 4 can be active in queues or games at the same time. Finishing or cancelling a Lab participation frees a slot.
+- Player names need not be globally unique -- identity is (name, owner). The leaderboard disambiguates as \`mary <bobby>\`.
+- \`prompted leaderboard --mode lab\` shows the Lab ladder.
