 ## The Problem
 
-Every developer using AI coding assistants starts every session from zero.
-The handoff between teammates happens in Slack and stand-ups — everywhere
-except inside the AI tool where the work actually happened.
+I have seen many agent-to-agent to orchestration systems and frameworks, but I still like working with other people.
+Other people that ALSO use agents to develop. I couldn't get my agent to understand what my friends agents were doing.
+So we built Sticky Note.
 
 ## The Solution
 
 Sticky Note captures what happened in each AI session (files touched, status,
 narrative, failed approaches) and surfaces it to teammates automatically on
-their next session start — ranked by relevance. No dashboards. No extra tools.
-Just shared files in your repo.
+their next session by relevance.

 ## What's New in V2.5
 
 - **Smart injection (two-tier)**: Stuck threads injected eagerly at session start; all other threads injected lazily when you first touch a file they authored — via built-in git blame attribution
-- **Thread resume (local)**: `npx sticky-note resume-thread --query "auth fix" --user alice` — natural language thread discovery with text similarity + file attribution ranking
-- **Built-in attribution engine**: `npx sticky-note get-line-attribution --file src/auth.ts` — maps file lines to commit SHAs via git blame, resolves to threads with line ranges. No external dependencies.

 - **Three-tier SHA resolution**: Git Notes → Audit JSONL → File+date heuristic — attribution never breaks
