+4. Reviewing work against acceptance criteria

 The goal is to improve quality without slowing down iteration speed.
 
 
+## Can This Be Simpler?
+
+Yes. The main simplification is to collapse the old 4-step paths:
+
+* `task-explore` now includes brief generation.
+* `bug-explore` now includes bug brief generation.
+* `task-implement` and `bug-fix` now validate and archive the brief when the work is complete.
+
+That leaves these practical flows:
+
+* Explore only: `/task-explore` or `/bug-explore`
+* Execute and archive: `/task-implement` or `/bug-fix`
+* Review: `/task-review` or `/bug-review`
+* One-shot small work: `/task-fast`
+
+## Upgrading Existing Projects
+
+If a project was initialized with an older version of task-cli, run:
+
+```bash
+task refresh
+```
+
+This will:
+
+* keep `.ai/tasks`, `.ai/bugs`, and `.ai/decisions`
+* remove only these managed skills from `.claude/skills/` and `.codex/skills/`: `task-fast`, `task-explore`, `task-implement`, `task-review`, `bug-explore`, `bug-fix`, `bug-review`, `decision-log`
+* reinstall the latest versions of those skills
+
+This avoids touching unrelated custom skills in the same project.
+
+Before refreshing, you can inspect the current setup with:
+
+```bash
+task doctor
+```
