-## What gmax does
+## When to use what
 
-Semantic code search — finds code by meaning, not just strings.
-
-- grep/ripgrep: exact string match
-- gmax: concept match ("where do we handle auth?", "how does booking flow work?")
+- **Know the exact string/symbol?** → `Grep` tool (fastest, zero overhead)
+- **Know the file already?** → `Read` tool directly
+- **Searching by concept/behavior?** → `Bash(gmax "query" --agent)` (semantic search)
+- **Need file structure?** → `Bash(gmax skeleton <path>)`
+- **Need call flow?** → `Bash(gmax trace <symbol>)`
 
 ## IMPORTANT: Use CLI, not MCP tools
