---

## Summary

Complete README rewrite with primary focus on npm/npx usage and CLI functionality. Rust/Cargo moved to advanced section.

---

## Key Changes

### 1. Introduction Overhaul ✅

**Before:**
- "Version control designed for AI agents"
- Generic description

**After:**
- "Version control for AI agents - Run anywhere with npx, zero installation required"
- **npm/npx CLI tool** prominently featured
- Visual code examples showing problem/solution
- Comparison table Git vs agentic-jujutsu

**New Elements:**
```javascript
// Visual comparison in code blocks
Agent 1: modifying code... (waiting for lock) ⏳
Agent 2: waiting... ⏳
Result: 50 minutes/day wasted

vs

Agent 1: modifying code... ✅
Agent 2: modifying code... ✅ (no conflicts!)
Result: 23x faster, zero waiting
```

### 2. Quick Navigation Added 🧭

New table of contents at top:
- ⚡ Quick Start
- 🚀 CLI Commands
- 🤖 MCP Tools
- 🎯 Use Cases
- 🔗 Rust/Cargo (Advanced)
- 📖 Full Documentation

**Impact**: Users can jump directly to what they need

### 3. Quick Start Enhanced ⚡

**Three clear options:**

**Option 1: npx (Recommended)** 🎯
```bash
npx agentic-jujutsu help
npx agentic-jujutsu analyze
npx agentic-jujutsu compare-git
```
- Labeled "Zero Installation"
- Most prominent placement
- Clear "No installation, no setup - just works!" message

**Option 2: Global Install**
```bash
npm install -g agentic-jujutsu
```

**Option 3: Project Install**
```bash
npm install agentic-jujutsu
```
- With code example showing programmatic use

### 4. CLI Commands - Complete Overhaul 🚀

**New structure:**

#### Getting Started Commands
- `help`, `version`, `info`, `examples`

#### For AI Agents (Most Important) ⭐
- `analyze`, `ast`, `mcp-server`, `mcp-tools`, `mcp-resources`, `mcp-call`
- Clearly labeled as most important for agents

#### Repository Operations
- `status`, `log`, `diff`, `new`, `describe`

#### Performance & Benchmarking
- `bench`, `compare-git`

**Quick Reference Card Added:**

| Command | What It Does | Use When |
|---------|-------------|----------|
| `help` | Show all commands | Getting started |
| `analyze` | Analyze repo for AI | Setting up agents |
| `ast` | Convert to AI format | Agent needs structured data |
| `mcp-server` | Start MCP server | Agent needs protocol access |

**Every command shows npx usage**

### 5. MCP Tools - Standalone Section 🤖

**New dedicated section with:**

#### Quick Setup (3 Steps)
```bash
# Step 1: Start the MCP server
npx agentic-jujutsu mcp-server

# Step 2: List available tools
npx agentic-jujutsu mcp-tools

# Step 3: Call a tool
npx agentic-jujutsu mcp-call jj_status
```

#### Each Tool Documented

**1. jj_status**
- What it does
- Example CLI command
- Example in agent code
- Use when

**2. jj_log**
- Complete documentation
- CLI and code examples

**3. jj_diff**
- Complete documentation
- Agent review example

#### Complete Agent Example
```javascript
class AICodeReviewer {
  async review() {
    const status = mcp.callTool('jj_status', {});
    const diff = mcp.callTool('jj_diff', {});
    // ... full working example
  }
}
```

**Result:** "Your AI agent can now monitor, review, and understand your repository! 🚀"

### 6. Rust/Cargo - Moved to Advanced Section 🔗

**Repositioned:**
- Near the end (line ~1294)
- Clearly labeled "Advanced Use"
- "For Rust Developers" subheading

**New content:**
- Clear statement: "Most users should use npm/npx"
- Comparison table: npm/npx vs Rust
- Cargo install instructions
- Basic Rust usage example
- WASM compilation guide
- Why use Rust section

**Comparison Table Added:**

| Feature | npm/npx (WASM) | Rust (Native) |
|---------|---------------|---------------|
| Setup | `npx` instant | Cargo install |
| Performance | Fast (WASM) | Fastest (native) |
| Use Case | AI agents, scripts | Rust apps, native tools |
| Best For | Quick prototyping | Production systems |

**Clear guidance:** "Most users should use npm/npx - it's easier and works great!"

### 7. Links Reorganized 🔗
