-## ✨ Key Features
+## 🧠 Mental Model
+
+Yggdrasil is built around a few core ideas:
+
+* **Branches are ideas**
+* **Worktrees are realities**
+* **Each task deserves its own realm**
+
+Instead of constantly switching branches in one working directory, Yggdrasil creates **isolated worktrees**, each mapped to a branch, living outside your main repo.
 
-### 🌿 Smart Branch Creation (`wt create`)
-The primary way to start working. Instead of worrying about folder names, just tell Yggdrasil which branch you want to work on.
-- **Auto-Slug**: Converts `feat/eng-123-ui` to a clean folder name like `feat-eng-123-ui`.
-- **Auto-Branching**: If the branch doesn't exist, Yggdrasil creates it for you from a base branch.
-- **Remote Awareness**: Seamlessly base your work on `origin/main` or local refs.
+All managed worktrees live under:
 
-### 🌳 Batch Creation (`wt create-multi`)
-Need to spin up multiple features? Provide branch names separated by spaces, and Yggdrasil will provision all of them in one go.
+```
+~/.yggtree/<repo-name>/<worktree-slug>
+```
 
-### 🚀 Custom Bootstrapping
-Configure your environment automatically using an `anvil-worktree.json` (also compatible with `.cursor/worktrees.json`) file in your project root.
+This keeps your main repository clean while enabling true parallelism.

 ## 🤔 Why Yggdrasil Worktree?
 
-Git worktrees are incredibly powerful, but they are also **painfully manual** once you go beyond a single task.
+Git worktrees are powerful, but once you start doing **parallel work**, they become tedious to manage manually.
 
-Modern development isn’t sequential anymore. You’re constantly switching contexts, juggling experiments, fixes, reviews, and now **AI agents running in parallel**.
+Modern development looks like this:
 
-Yggdrasil exists to solve three modern problems at once:
+* Fixing a bug
+* Reviewing a PR
+* Prototyping a feature
+* Letting AI agents explore refactors
+* Running tests in isolation
 
-1. **Parallel work without context collision**
-2. **Fast environment setup per task**
-3. **Agent-friendly isolation for AI workflows**
+All at the same time.
 
-Instead of juggling branches, folders, and bootstrap scripts by hand, Yggdrasil gives you a repeatable, intentional workflow.
-Each worktree becomes its own **small realm** — isolated, focused, and safe to explore.
+Yggdrasil exists to solve three problems together:

-## 🧠 Parallel Development, Done Right

-Traditional branching assumes *sequential* work.
+🌳 **First-class worktree workflow**
+Create, manage, and navigate Git worktrees as a primary workflow, not an afterthought.
 
-Reality looks more like this:
+🧠 **Parallel development by default**
+Work on multiple branches at the same time, each in its own isolated environment.
 
-* You’re fixing a bug
-* Reviewing a PR
-* Prototyping a feature
-* Letting an AI agent explore refactors
-* Letting another agent generate tests
+🤖 **AI-friendly isolation**
+One worktree per agent, per experiment, per idea. No shared state, no collisions.
 
-All at the same time.
+⚡ **Automatic bootstrapping**
+Run installs, submodules, and setup scripts automatically for each worktree.
+
+🚪 **Enter, exec, and exit with ease**
+Enter worktrees, execute commands, or run tasks without changing directories.
+
+📍 **Predictable structure**
+All managed worktrees live under `~/.yggtree`, keeping your repository clean.
 
-Yggdrasil lets each task live in its **own isolated worktree** — a separate realm where ideas can evolve without colliding.
+🧭 **Interactive or scriptable**
+Use the interactive UI or drive everything through commands and flags.

+## 🤖 Built for AI‑Assisted Workflows
 
-Instead of running agents against the same working directory, you can:
+Yggdrasil shines when paired with AI agents.
 
-* Assign one worktree per agent
-* Let each agent explore independently
-* Compare results safely
-* Merge only what makes sense

-## ⚡ Zero-Friction Bootstrapping

+
+Yggdrasil automatically prepares each worktree.
 
-Every worktree can auto-configure itself.
+Resolution order:
 
-Yggdrasil reads your project’s setup file and prepares the realm immediately:
+1. `yggtree-worktree.json` inside the worktree
+2. `yggtree-worktree.json` in the repo root
+3. `.cursor/worktrees.json`
+4. Fallback: `npm install` + submodules
+
+### Example configuration
 
 ```json
 {
   "setup-worktree": [
     "npm install",
     "git submodule sync --recursive",
-    "git submodule update --init --recursive"
+    "git submodule update --init --recursive",
