 ## Features
 
-- **27 providers** — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI (Grok), Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity, Cerebras, Moonshot (Kimi), Zhipu (GLM), NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, KiloCode, Ollama (local), Together AI, Fireworks AI, Deep Infra, SiliconFlow, Hugging Face, Poe, DigitalOcean, Cline, OpenCode Go. Switch mid-session.
+- **27+ providers** — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini & Code Assist, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI (Grok), Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity, Cerebras, Moonshot (Kimi), Zhipu (GLM), NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, OpenCode, KiloCode, Ollama (local), Together AI, Fireworks AI, Deep Infra, SiliconFlow, Hugging Face, Poe, DigitalOcean, Cline, OpenCode Go. Switch mid-session.
 - **Agent-to-agent mesh** — find other Clew instances on the same machine (file registry) or across machines (UDP multicast). Assign tasks, set roles, execute remote commands — 15 mesh AI tools (discover, run, spawn, share, join, ping, broadcast, send_message, list_roles, list_messages, set_name, set_role, disconnect, info, help) let your agent coordinate autonomously via `/mesh` commands.
 
 - **Autonomous agent loop** — file-backed persistent task queue, lease-based concurrency, exponential backoff retry, dead-letter management. Cron scheduler for recurring jobs. Max 3 concurrent workers.
-- **50+ built-in tools** — Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, WebSearch, WebFetch, Browser (Playwright), PR (create/list/view/review/merge/status), NotebookEdit, JsonPath, mesh tools (15 LAN coordination tools), MCP tools, ProcessMesh (exec/pty), plan mode with full bypass permissions, multi-pass context compaction.

+- **Goal system** — `/goal` tracks task completion with heuristic pre-checks (exit codes, test output, lint results). Goal chains with `then` syntax. Auto-integrates with AFK mode and the autonomous loop.
+- **Goal Verifier** — When the agent attempts to terminate, an independent LLM verifier reviews the conversation against the goal text. If unsatisfied, the gap is reported as metadata for automatic re-prompting.
+- **Max Mode** — parallel candidate generation (default 3 per turn) using forked agents. Selects the best response via LLM judge (model-as-judge) with heuristic fallback. Toggle with `/maxmode`.
+- **Structured checkpoints** — automatic progress snapshots at 20%/45%/70% milestones with notes scratchpad (`notes.md`) for main-agent findings. Multi-cycle rebuild from checkpoints during compaction preserves layered context (decisions → notes → blockers → next steps).
+- **Project memory promotion** — at the 70% checkpoint, stable information (active files, persistent decisions, notes) is promoted to `MEMORY.md` for cross-session persistence.
+- **Automated memory consolidation** — Dream process (7-day cycle) merges duplicate insights and creates weekly digests. Distill process (30-day cycle) extracts reusable patterns and generates skill suggestions.
 - **MCP — Model Context Protocol** — connect external tools via stdio (local subprocesses), SSE (remote servers with OAuth), or DirectConnect (in-process plugin servers).
 - **Skills, plugins, hooks** — extend without touching source. Skills via `SKILL.md`, plugins with manifest, hooks at every lifecycle stage (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PreBash, PostPrompt, PreAcceptEdit).
 - **7 permission modes** — default, ask, plan, auto, acceptEdits, bypassPermissions, dontAsk. Granular allow/deny rules with pattern matching.

 Clew Code has several execution layers. They are related, but they do different jobs:
 
-- **Agent:** An AI worker with a prompt, model, tools, and permissions. The main chat session is an agent. Custom agents live in `.claude/agents/*.md`, and built-ins include `Explore`, `Plan`, and `general-purpose`.
+- **Agent:** An AI worker with a prompt, model, tools, and permissions. The main chat session is an agent. Custom agents live in `.clew/agents/*.md`, and built-ins include `Explore`, `Plan`, and `general-purpose`.
 - **Subagent:** A short-lived child agent launched by another agent through the `Agent` tool. Use subagents for independent work such as codebase exploration, test triage, or review. The built-in `Explore` agent is read-only and is the right choice for parallel "go inspect this area" tasks.
 - **Teammate / Swarm:** A longer-lived agent team member with an identity, mailbox, task coordination, and optional pane/tmux or in-process execution. Use this when agents need to keep working together across multiple turns, not for isolated one-shot exploration.
 - **LAN Mesh:** A network of Clew instances on the same machine or LAN. `/mesh` discovers peers, sends messages, assigns tasks, and runs commands on other Clew nodes.
@@ -90,6 +96,9 @@ Use the layers by intent:
 Other runtime concepts:
 - **Plan mode:** Full-access planning mode with bypass permissions — explore, read, write, and edit files freely. Plan files persist to `.clew/plans/long-term-plan.md` with task progress snapshot.
 - **Multi-pass compaction:** Automatic chunk-based context compression with recursive re-compaction when context exceeds the model window.
+- **Goal verification:** When the agent declares a task done, an independent LLM call reviews the conversation against the goal text and reports specific gaps if unsatisfied (attached as `goalGap` in result metadata).
+- **Max Mode:** Generates N parallel candidate responses per turn via forked agents, then selects the best one via LLM judge with heuristic fallback. Toggle with `/maxmode`.
+- **Checkpoints:** Structured snapshots at 20%/45%/70% progress milestones. Includes a `notes.md` scratchpad for the main agent's findings. Used for layered multi-cycle rebuild during compaction.
