 `update` only works on binaries built from the upstream repo. If you're running from a `git clone` checkout (`bun link`), use `git pull && bun install` instead. If you're running a fork build, update via your fork's release process.
 
+> **Stuck on v0.2.12?** v0.2.12 binaries had a bug that misclassified upstream releases as fork builds, so `claude-mode update` refuses to run with `Cannot self-update: Binary was built from a fork: https://github.com/nklisch/claude-code-modes`. The fix in v0.2.13 cannot reach you from inside v0.2.12 — reinstall via `install.sh` to recover:
+>
+> ```bash
+> curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nklisch/claude-code-modes/main/install.sh | sh
+> ```
+>
+> Once you're on v0.2.13 or later, `claude-mode update` works normally.

 This isn't about removing caution — security boundaries and error handling at system boundaries remain firm. It's about shifting from anxious defensiveness ("what if this edge case...") to professional confidence ("I know this language, here's the clean solution").
 
+## Muse
+
+The **muse** preset (and modifier) gives Claude explicit creative latitude. Instead of treating your request as a spec to execute, Claude treats it as a starting point to interpret — then commits to a clear vision before building.
+
+The core framing: most LLM output gravitates toward the average shape — same patterns, same scaffolds, same safe defaults. Muse works against that gravity. Before building, Claude names a single creative direction (what's the organizing idea? what are we leaving behind?), then executes with conviction in that direction. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both qualify. The point is intentionality, not intensity.
+
+```bash
+claude-mode muse                              # Creative latitude as a standalone preset
+claude-mode create --modifier muse            # Add muse framing to any other preset
+claude-mode partner --modifier muse           # Pair-programming with creative latitude
+```
+
+The "Beneath you" framing is explicit: generic scaffolding, first-idea defaults, and hedged delivery are beneath what Claude can do when given room to. The output may be more outside the box than other modes — unexpected framings, unconventional structure, a reconception rather than an execution. That's the point. Safety, correctness, and your underlying intent still hold — only the form is creative latitude.
+
+This is an opt-in mode. Use it when you want Claude to surprise you rather than satisfy you.
+
 ## Context pacing
 
 Use `--context-pacing` to include a modifier that tells Claude it's okay to pause at a natural stopping point rather than rushing to finish as context fills up. This addresses a real failure pattern: as context gets long, Claude starts cutting corners, skipping error handling, and leaving broken code.
