 # Agentic SDLC
 
-> Simulating a complete Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with specialized AI Agents.
+> Transform your IDE into a complete Software Development Lifecycle team with AI-powered agents, automated workflows, and intelligent knowledge management.
 
-Transform your IDE into a full SDLC team with 12 specialized AI roles, automated workflows, and knowledge management.
+## 🎯 What is Agentic SDLC?
 
-## ✨ Features
+**Agentic SDLC** is an AI-powered development framework that simulates a complete software development team within your IDE. It provides:
 
-- 🤖 **12 AI Roles** - PM, SA, UI/UX, QA, Security, Dev, DevOps, Tester, Reporter, Stakeholder, PO, Orchestrator
-- ⚡ **Slash Commands** - `/pm`, `/dev`, `/auto` in your IDE
-- 🔄 **Auto Workflow** - Full automation or manual control
-- 🧠 **Knowledge Base** - Learn from past challenges
-- 🎨 **IDE Integration** - Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Aider
-- 📚 **16 Templates** - Plans, designs, reports, documentation
-- 🌐 **All Platforms** - Web, Mobile, Desktop, CLI, API, Embedded
+- **14 Specialized AI Roles** - PM, BA, SA, UI/UX, QA, Security, Dev, DevOps, Tester, Reporter, and more
+- **12 Automated Workflows** - From planning to deployment with `/slash` commands
+- **Intelligent Brain System** - 3-Layer architecture with state management and self-learning
+- **Cross-IDE Compatibility** - Works with Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Gemini, and any AI-powered IDE
+- **Monorepo Architecture** - Shared brain system across multiple projects
 
-## 🚀 Quick Start
+## 🧠 The Brain System
 
-```bash
-# Install
-npm install -g agentic-sdlc
+At the core of Agentic SDLC is the **Brain** - an intelligent knowledge management system that:
 
-# Create project
-agentic-sdlc create my-project
-cd my-project
+- **Learns from every task** - Automatically captures patterns from bugs, features, and solutions
+- **Provides recommendations** - Suggests approaches based on past successes
+- **Builds knowledge graphs** - Maps relationships between skills, technologies, and solutions
+- **Enables compound intelligence** - Each project's knowledge benefits all others
 
-# Setup IDE
-agentic-sdlc ide cursor
+→ See **[GEMINI.md](GEMINI.md)** for complete Brain documentation
 
-# Start building (in IDE)
-/pm Build a todo app with authentication
-```
