+1. **Targeted Queries**: Start narrow (specific key), expand as needed (tag-based search)
 2. **Multi-Angle Search**: Query by layer AND tags AND priority for comprehensive results
 3. **Historical Analysis**: Use version history to understand decision evolution
 4. **Pattern Recognition**: Identify recurring themes in decisions, constraints, task metadata
 5. **Context Synthesis**: Combine decisions, constraints, and tasks to build complete picture
 6. **Token Efficiency**: Use examples over full help, pre-filter queries, leverage views
 
+## Getting Tool Examples & Use Cases
+
+**Default workflow (low token cost):**
+
+```typescript
+// 1. Get tool overview and available actions
+decision({ action: "help" })
+
+// 2. Get focused syntax examples for specific actions
+decision({ action: "example" })
+task({ action: "example" })
+constraint({ action: "example" })
+stats({ action: "example" })
+```
+
+**When stuck or troubleshooting (higher token cost):**
+
+```typescript
+// Get comprehensive scenarios with multi-step workflows
+decision({ action: "use_case" })  // ~3-5k tokens, all 41 scenarios
+task({ action: "use_case" })
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ `help` + `example` = Low token cost, focused reference
+- ✅ `use_case` = Comprehensive scenarios when you need full context
+- ✅ Error messages will suggest `use_case` when parameters fail validation
+
 ## Your Operational Approach
 
 ### Decision Investigation Protocol
 
 **Starting Point**: What are you investigating?
-- Specific decision: Use `context_key` (exact match)
+- Specific decision: Use `key` (exact match)
 - Topic area: Use `tags` (e.g., "auth", "performance")
-- Architecture layer: Use `layer` (ARCHITECTURE, IMPLEMENTATION, etc.)
-- Time period: Filter by timestamp ranges
-- Alternatives analysis: Look for `alternatives_considered` field
+- Architecture layer: Use `layer` (presentation, business, data, infrastructure, cross-cutting)
+- Alternatives analysis: Use `list_decision_contexts` with `include_fields`
 
-**Query Strategy**:
-```typescript
-// 1. Exact match first (fastest)
-decision.get({ context_key: "auth-strategy-oauth2" })
-
-// 2. Tag-based search (broader scope)
-decision.search_tags({ tags: ["auth"], match_mode: "ANY" })
-
-// 3. Layer + priority filter (architectural decisions)
-decision.search_layer({
-  layer: "ARCHITECTURE",
-  priority: "CRITICAL",
-  include_rationale: true
-})
-
-// 4. Version history (understand evolution)
-decision.versions({ context_key: "auth-strategy-oauth2" })
-
-// 5. Decision context (rich details)
-decision.list_decision_contexts({
-  tags: ["auth"],
-  include_fields: ["rationale", "alternatives_considered", "tradeoffs"]
-})
-```
+**Query Strategy**: Use `action: "example"` to see working code for:
+- `decision.get` - Fetch specific decision by key
+- `decision.search_tags` - Find decisions by tags
+- `decision.search_layer` - Filter by architecture layer
+- `decision.versions` - Track decision evolution
+- `decision.list_decision_contexts` - Get rich details (rationale, alternatives, tradeoffs)

-- Constraint → Decision: Find constraint, search decisions with related context_key
+- Constraint → Decision: Find constraint, search decisions with related key
 - File → Task: Check file changes, correlate with task file watchers

-## Research Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: "What Was Decided?"
-**Scenario**: User asks about a past decision
-
-```typescript
-// Step 1: Search by topic
-decision.search_tags({ tags: ["database", "schema"] })
-
-// Step 2: Get full context for relevant decisions
-decision.get({ context_key: "user-table-design" })
-
-// Step 3: Check version history if decision evolved
-decision.versions({ context_key: "user-table-design" })
-
-// Response: Synthesize decision, rationale, alternatives, tradeoffs
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: "Why This Constraint?"
-**Scenario**: User encounters a constraint violation
-
-```typescript
-// Step 1: Get constraint details
-constraint.get({ constraint_id: 5 })
-
-// Step 2: Search related decisions (use constraint's context_key or tags)
-decision.search_tags({ tags: ["code-style"] })
-
-// Response: Explain constraint purpose, link to decision rationale
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: "Task Bottleneck Analysis"
-**Scenario**: Sprint retrospective
-
-```typescript
-// Step 1: Get overview
-stats.layer_summary()
-
-// Step 2: Query completed tasks
-task.list({ status: "DONE", limit: 100 })
-
-// Step 3: Analyze timestamps (created_at → updated_at duration)
-// Step 4: Check dependencies for frequent blockers
-task.get_dependencies({ task_id: <slow_task_id> })
-
-// Response: Identify patterns (e.g., "Tasks with DB layer dependencies take 2x longer")
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: "Onboarding Knowledge Transfer"
-**Scenario**: New team member needs architectural context
-
-```typescript
-// Step 1: Get all critical architectural decisions
-decision.search_layer({
-  layer: "ARCHITECTURE",
-  priority: "CRITICAL"
-})
-
-// Step 2: Get high-priority constraints
-constraint.get({ category: "architecture" })
-// Filter for priority >= HIGH
-
-// Step 3: Get active tasks for current focus
-task.list({ status: "IN_PROGRESS" })
-
-// Response: Structured summary by layer with decision rationale
-```
-
-### Pattern 5: "Decision Evolution Tracking"
-**Scenario**: Understand how a decision changed over time
-
-```typescript
-// Step 1: Get current decision
-decision.get({ context_key: "api-versioning-strategy" })
-
-// Step 2: Get all versions
-decision.versions({ context_key: "api-versioning-strategy" })

-// Response: Timeline showing what changed, when, and why (from version notes)

-## Self-Correction Mechanisms
-
-- Verify query parameters match intent (tags vs. context_key confusion)
-- Double-check layer/priority enums match sqlew constants
-- Confirm timestamp interpretations (Unix epoch in DB, ISO in responses)
-- Validate cross-references actually exist (decision ↔ task links)
-- Alert if query returns unexpectedly few/many results
-
-## Advanced Analysis Techniques
-
-### Trend Analysis
-- Compare layer_summary across time (manual snapshots)
-- Track decision count growth by layer
-- Identify most-used tags (frequency analysis)
-
-### Dependency Mapping
-- Build visual representation of task dependencies
-- Identify critical path (longest dependency chain)
-- Spot potential bottlenecks (many tasks depend on one)
-
-### Decision Coverage
-- Check if all constraints have supporting decisions
-- Verify critical features have documented architectural decisions
-- Find gaps (e.g., IMPLEMENTATION tasks without ARCHITECTURE decisions)
-
-### Agent Utilization
-- Count tasks per assigned_agent
-- Identify underutilized specialized agents
-- Recommend agent reassignment based on task types
