+
+### What Gets Fixed
+
+**Priority 1: Critical Security** 🔴
+- Critical and high severity vulnerabilities
+- Runs `npm audit fix`
+- Upgrades to secure versions
+
+**Priority 2: Ecosystem Alerts** 🟠
+- Critical and high severity known issues
+- Upgrades to recommended versions
+- Fixes package-specific problems
+
+**Priority 3: Unused Dependencies** 🟡
+- Removes packages not used in code
+- Cleans up `node_modules`
+- Reduces security surface
+
+**Priority 4: Safe Updates** 🔵
+- Patch and minor version updates
+- No breaking changes
+- Gets bug fixes and improvements
+
+**Skipped: Major Updates** ⚪
+- Shown but not auto-applied
+- May have breaking changes
+- Requires manual review
+
+### Use Cases
+
+**Perfect for:**
+- 🏢 **Development Teams** - Safe, automated dependency maintenance
+- 🔄 **CI/CD Pipelines** - Automated fixes with `--yes` flag
+- 🛡️ **Security Teams** - Quick vulnerability resolution
+- 📦 **Package Maintainers** - Keeping dependencies up-to-date
+- 📊 **Auditing** - Detailed fix reports for compliance
+- 🧪 **Testing** - Dry-run mode for validation
+

+**Typical execution time:**
+- Small project (5 fixes): ~5-10 seconds
+- Medium project (15 fixes): ~15-25 seconds
+- Large project (30 fixes): ~30-45 seconds
+
+### Backup Management
+
+**Automatic cleanup:**
+- Keeps last 5 backups
+- Automatically removes older backups
+- Minimal disk space usage
+
+**Manual backup restoration:**
+```bash
+# List available backups
+ls .devcompass-backups/
+
+# Restore from specific backup
+cp .devcompass-backups/backup-TIMESTAMP/package.json package.json
+cp .devcompass-backups/backup-TIMESTAMP/package-lock.json package-lock.json
+
+# Then reinstall
+npm install
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**If fix fails:**
+1. Check the error message in terminal
+2. Review `devcompass-fix-report.json` for details
+3. Your backup is available in `.devcompass-backups/`
+4. Restore from backup if needed
+5. Report issue on GitHub
+
+**Common issues:**
+- **Network errors:** Check internet connection, retry
+- **Permission errors:** Use `sudo` (not recommended) or fix npm permissions
+- **Lock file conflicts:** Commit or stash changes first
+- **Disk space:** Ensure sufficient space for backups
+
+### Workflow Example (Complete)
+```bash
+# 1. Check current health
+devcompass analyze
+# Output: Health Score: 6.2/10
+
+# 2. Preview fixes (no changes)
