+# AI Task Delegation System
+
+**Save 60-80% of Claude Code's context by delegating heavy tasks to specialized AI tools.**
+
+## Overview
+
+The Delegation System is a smart task router that allows Claude Code (Kai) to delegate context-heavy operations to external AI CLI tools like auggie, gemini, and aider. This dramatically reduces token usage while maintaining high-quality outputs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Install tools** (optional - use what you have):
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g @augmentcode/cli  # auggie
+   pip install aider-chat            # aider
+   # gemini - see PAI reference docs
+   ```
+
+2. **That's it!** The system works automatically when Kai detects large tasks.
+
+## How It Works
+
+**User Request:**
+```
+"Analyze the ~/dev/myproject codebase"
+```
+
+**Kai's Response:**
+```
+📊 Delegating to auggie (847 files detected)...
+Estimated token savings: ~15,000
+
+✅ Analysis complete!
+[Synthesized results]
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Files
+
+1. **`delegate.md`** - Comprehensive documentation and configuration
+   - User guide and FAQ
+   - Tool configuration (YAML-style markdown)
+   - Status checker (run with `bun delegate.md`)
+   - Technical documentation
+
+2. **`delegate-router.md`** - Smart routing engine
+   - Task analysis (type, scope, complexity, token estimate)
+   - Decision logic (which tool to use)
+   - Execution engine (runs delegated tasks)
+   - Error handling (asks user on failure)
+
+### Delegation Flow
+
+```
+User Request
+    ↓
+Kai analyzes task (files, tokens, type)
+    ↓
+Should delegate? (>10 files OR >20K tokens)
+    ↓
+delegate-router.md selects optimal tool
+    ↓
+Tool executes task
+    ↓
+Kai synthesizes results for user
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `delegate.md` or tell Kai:
+
+```
+"Don't use auggie anymore"
+"Increase auggie timeout to 5 minutes"
+"I installed a new tool called cursor-ai"
+```
+
+### Available Tools
+
+| Tool | Priority | Best For | Timeout |
+|------|----------|----------|---------|
+| **auggie** | 1 | Codebase analysis (>10 files) | 2 min |
+| **gemini** | 2 | Fast text generation, summarization | 1 min |
+| **aider** | 3 | Direct file editing, refactoring | 3 min |
+
+### Delegation Triggers
+
+**Kai delegates when:**
+- Analyzing >10 files
+- Processing >20,000 tokens
+- Codebase-wide operations
+- Large document summaries
+
+**Kai handles directly when:**
+- Small tasks (<5K tokens)
+- Interactive conversations
+- Single file operations
+- User wants Kai's perspective
+
+## Token Savings
+
+**Real-world examples:**
+
+| Scenario | Without Delegation | With Delegation | Savings |
+|----------|-------------------|-----------------|---------|
+| Codebase analysis (850 files) | ~40,000 tokens | ~7,000 tokens | **82%** |
+| Large document summary (100KB) | ~25,000 tokens | ~5,000 tokens | **80%** |
+| Multi-file refactoring (15 files) | ~30,000 tokens | ~3,000 tokens | **90%** |
+
+## Tool Capabilities
+
+### Auggie (Priority 1)
+
+**Best for:**
+- Large codebases (>10 files)
+- Understanding project architecture
+- Finding patterns across files
+
+**How it works:**
+- Indexes entire codebase with vector embeddings
+- Semantic search across code
+- Understands code relationships
+
+**Example tasks:**
+- "Analyze the authentication system"
+- "Find all API endpoints"
+- "Explain the database schema"
+
+### Gemini (Priority 2)
+
+**Best for:**
+- Fast text generation
+- Document summarization (>5K tokens)
+- Code generation from scratch
+- Web research
+
+**How it works:**
+- Large context window (1M+ tokens)
+- Extremely fast inference
+- Web search capability
+
+**Example tasks:**
+- "Summarize this 50-page document"
+- "Generate boilerplate for X"
+- "Research current best practices"
+
+### Aider (Priority 3)
+
+**Best for:**
+- Direct file editing
+- Multi-file refactoring (1-20 files)
+- Implementation tasks
+
+**How it works:**
+- Reads files directly from disk
+- Makes precise edits
+- Creates git commits
+
+**Example tasks:**
+- "Add docstrings to all functions"
+- "Refactor class X to use pattern Y"
+- "Update all imports to new path"
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Check Tool Status
+
+```bash
+cd ~/dev/pai/commands/delegate
+bun delegate.md
+```
+
+### Test Delegation Decision (Dry Run)
+
+```bash
+bun delegate-router.md \
+  --task "Analyze this TypeScript codebase" \
+  --path ~/dev/myproject \
+  --dry-run
+```
+
+### Force Specific Tool
+
+```bash
+bun delegate-router.md \
+  --task "Summarize this project" \
+  --path ~/dev/myproject \
+  --tool gemini
+```
+
+### JSON Output
+
+```bash
+bun delegate-router.md \
+  --task "Review security practices" \
+  --path ~/dev/myproject \
+  --json
+```
+
+## Configuration Format
+
+The system uses **YAML-style markdown** (PAI pattern) for configuration:
+
+```yaml
+### auggie
+enabled: true
+command: auggie
+priority: 1
+timeout: 120000  # 2 minutes
+
+bestFor:
+  - codebase-analysis (>10 files)
+  - architecture-review
+
+strengths:
+  - Codebase-aware indexing
+  - Full project context
+```
+
+## Natural Language Configuration
+
+Configure by talking to Kai:
+
+**Disable a tool:**
+- "Don't use auggie anymore"
+
+**Adjust timeouts:**
+- "Increase auggie timeout to 5 minutes"
+
+**Change priorities:**
+- "Make gemini the first choice for analysis"
+
+**Add new tool:**
+- "I installed a new tool called cursor-ai"
+
+Kai will update `delegate.md` and confirm changes.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**When delegation fails**, Kai will ask:
+
+```
+Delegation to auggie failed: Connection timeout
+
+Would you like me to:
+  (a) Try another tool (gemini)
+  (b) Handle it directly
+  (c) Skip this task
+```
+
+**No auto-fallback** - you're always in control.
+
+## Extending the System
+
+To add a new AI tool:
+
+1. **Install the tool** and verify it works
+2. **Add config section** to `delegate.md`:
+   ```yaml
+   ### my-tool
+   enabled: true
+   command: my-tool
+   priority: 4
+   timeout: 60000
+
+   bestFor:
+     - custom-analysis
+
+   strengths:
+     - What it does well
+
+   usage: |
+     my-tool --flag "task"
+   ```
+3. **Tell Kai**: "I added my-tool, use it for X tasks"
+4. **Test it**: Ask Kai to delegate a task to your new tool
+
+## Integration with PAI
+
+The delegation system follows PAI patterns:
+
+- ✅ **Markdown-first** - Config is readable markdown, not JSON
+- ✅ **Natural language** - Configure by talking to Kai
+- ✅ **Zero-setup** - Works if tools are installed
+- ✅ **Consistent patterns** - Follows PAI conventions
+- ✅ **Extensible** - Easy to add new tools
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tools not found
+
+```bash
+cd ~/dev/pai/commands/delegate
+bun delegate.md
+```
+
+This checks which tools are installed and where.
+
+### Delegation not triggering
+
+Check thresholds:
+- Is your task >10 files?
+- Is your task >20K tokens?
+
+Force delegation:
+```
+"Use auggie to analyze this single file"
+```
+
+### Tool timeouts
+
+Increase timeout in `delegate.md` config:
+```yaml
+timeout: 300000  # 5 minutes instead of 2
+```
+
+Or tell Kai:
+```
+"Increase auggie timeout to 5 minutes"
+```
+
+### Wrong tool selected
+
+Force specific tool:
+```
+"Use gemini instead of auggie for this"
+```
+
+Or adjust priorities in config.
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use auggie for codebases** - Optimized for project analysis
+2. **Use gemini for speed** - Fastest for text generation
+3. **Use aider for editing** - Direct file manipulation
+4. **Adjust timeouts** - Complex tasks need more time
+5. **Enable only needed tools** - Reduces decision overhead
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Tools run with your user permissions
+- Tools can read/write files in delegated paths
+- Review tool output before accepting changes
+- Aider can modify files directly (use git!)
+- Gemini can make web requests
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: How does Kai know when to delegate?**
+
+A: Kai analyzes your request. If it involves >10 files or >20K tokens, delegation triggers automatically.
+
+**Q: Can I force a specific tool?**
+
+A: Yes! Just say "Use gemini to analyze this" and Kai will use that tool specifically.
+
+**Q: What if delegation fails?**
+
+A: Kai will ask you what to do - try another tool, have Kai handle it directly, or skip the task.
+
+**Q: Do I need all three tools?**
+
+A: No! Install what you want. Kai uses what's available and falls back gracefully.
+
+**Q: How do I disable delegation?**
+
+A: Change `enabled: true` to `enabled: false` in `delegate.md`, or tell Kai "Disable delegation system".
+
+**Q: Can I add my own tools?**
+
+A: Absolutely! Add a tool section to the config (copy the auggie format) and tell Kai about it.
+
+**Q: Will this work on my system?**
+
+A: If you have bun installed and any of the three tools (auggie, gemini, aider), yes! The system gracefully handles missing tools.

+// QUICK START GUIDE
+// ============================================================================
+
+/**
+ * # Delegation System - Quick Start
+ *
+ * **TL;DR:** Kai automatically delegates heavy tasks to save context. No setup needed if you have the tools installed.
+ *
+ * ## 30-Second Start
+ *
+ * 1. **Install tools** (optional, use what you have):
+ *    ```bash
+ *    npm install -g @augmentcode/cli  # auggie
+ *    pip install aider-chat            # aider
+ *    # gemini - see gemini-cli-setup.md
+ *    ```
+ *
+ * 2. **That's it!** Kai will automatically delegate when appropriate.
+ *
+ * ## How It Works
+ *
+ * **You:** "Analyze the ~/dev/myproject codebase"
+ *
+ * **Kai:**
+ * ```
+ * 📊 Delegating to auggie (847 files detected)...
+ * Estimated token savings: ~15,000
+ *
+ * ✅ Analysis complete!
+ * [Synthesized results from auggie]
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Configuration
+ *
+ * Edit the CONFIG section below, or just tell Kai:
+ * - "Don't use auggie anymore"
+ * - "Increase delegation timeouts"
+ * - "I added a new tool called X"
+ *
+ * ## When Delegation Happens
+ *
+ * **Kai delegates:**
+ * - ✅ Analyzing >10 files
+ * - ✅ Processing >20K tokens
+ * - ✅ Codebase-wide operations
+ * - ✅ Large document summaries
+ *
+ * **Kai handles directly:**
+ * - ❌ Small tasks (<5K tokens)
+ * - ❌ Interactive conversations
+ * - ❌ When you want Kai's perspective
+ *
+ * ## Available Tools
+ *
+ * - **auggie** - Codebase analysis (best for projects)
+ * - **gemini** - Fast text processing (best for speed)
+ * - **aider** - Direct file editing (best for refactoring)
+ *
+ * Check status: Run this file directly (`bun delegate.md`)
+ *
+ * ## Benefits
+ *
+ * - 💰 Save 60-80% tokens on large tasks
+ * - ⚡ Faster parallel processing
+ * - 🎯 Right tool for the job
+ * - 🤝 Better conversations (more context for chat)
+ *
+ * ## FAQ
+ *
+ * **Q: How does Kai know when to delegate?**
+ *
+ * A: Kai analyzes your request. If it involves >10 files or >20K tokens, delegation triggers automatically.
+ *
+ * **Q: Can I force a specific tool?**
+ *
+ * A: Yes! Just say "Use gemini to analyze this" and Kai will use that tool specifically.
+ *
+ * **Q: What if delegation fails?**
+ *
+ * A: Kai will ask you what to do - try another tool, have Kai handle it directly, or skip the task.
+ *
+ * **Q: Do I need all three tools?**
+ *
+ * A: No! Install what you want. Kai uses what's available and falls back gracefully.
+ *
+ * **Q: How do I disable delegation?**
+ *
+ * A: Change `enabled: true` to `enabled: false` in the config below, or tell Kai "Disable delegation system".
+ *
+ * **Q: Can I add my own tools?**
+ *
+ * A: Absolutely! Add a tool section to the config below (copy the auggie format) and tell Kai about it.
+ *
+ * ## That's It!
+ *
+ * No wizards, no complex setup. Just install tools and let Kai delegate intelligently.

+
+/**
+ * # Delegation System Configuration
+ *
+ * **Last Updated:** 2025-10-11
+ * **Version:** 1.0.0
+ *
+ * ## System Status
+ *
+ * ```yaml
+ * enabled: true
+ * autoDelegate: true
+ * announceDelegate: true
+ * askBeforeFallback: true  # Ask user if delegation fails
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Available Tools
+ *
+ * ### auggie
+ * ```yaml
+ * enabled: true
+ * command: auggie
+ * priority: 1
+ * timeout: 120000  # 2 minutes
+ *
+ * bestFor:
+ *   - codebase-analysis (>10 files)
+ *   - architecture-review
+ *   - project-understanding
+ *
+ * strengths:
+ *   - Codebase-aware indexing
+ *   - Full project context
+ *   - Interactive and automated modes
+ *
+ * usage: |
+ *   auggie -p -q "task description" /path/to/project
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### gemini
+ * ```yaml
+ * enabled: true
+ * command: gemini
+ * priority: 2
+ * timeout: 60000  # 1 minute
+ *
+ * bestFor:
+ *   - fast-text-generation
+ *   - document-summarization (>5K tokens)
+ *   - code-generation
+ *   - web-research
+ *
+ * strengths:
+ *   - Speed and efficiency
+ *   - Large context window
+ *   - Web search capability
+ *
+ * usage: |
+ *   gemini "task description"
+ *   # or with file: gemini "@file.txt task"
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### aider
+ * ```yaml
+ * enabled: true
+ * command: aider
+ * priority: 3
+ * timeout: 180000  # 3 minutes
+ *
+ * bestFor:
+ *   - direct-file-editing
+ *   - code-refactoring (1-20 files)
+ *   - implementation-tasks
+ *
+ * strengths:
+ *   - Direct file manipulation
+ *   - Git-aware changes
+ *   - Multi-file refactoring
+ *
+ * usage: |
+ *   aider --yes --message "task description" file.py
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Delegation Rules
+ *
+ * ### When Kai Delegates
+ *
+ * **Always delegate:**
+ * - Analyzing >10 files → auggie
+ * - Processing >20,000 tokens → auggie or gemini
+ * - Document summarization >5,000 tokens → gemini
+ * - Batch code generation → gemini
+ * - Multi-file refactoring → aider
+ *
+ * **Never delegate:**
+ * - Single file operations (<3 files)
+ * - Small tasks (<5,000 tokens)
+ * - Interactive conversations
+ * - Tasks requiring Kai's perspective
+ *
+ * ### Tool Selection Logic
+ *
+ * ```
+ * Task Type: analyze + Scope: codebase → auggie (fallback: gemini)
+ * Task Type: summarize + Size: large → gemini (fallback: auggie)
+ * Task Type: generate + Any size → gemini (fallback: auggie)
+ * Task Type: refactor + Multi-file → aider (fallback: auggie)
+ * Task Type: research + Web → gemini (no fallback)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Configuration Notes
+ *
+ * ### Adding Custom Tools
+ *
+ * To add a new tool, add a section like:
+ *
+ * ```yaml
+ * ### my-tool
+ * enabled: true
+ * command: my-tool
+ * priority: 4
+ * timeout: 60000
+ *
+ * bestFor:
+ *   - custom-analysis
+ *
+ * strengths:
+ *   - What it does well
+ *
+ * usage: |
+ *   my-tool --flag "task"
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Then tell Kai: "I added my-tool to delegation config, please use it for X tasks"
+ *
+ * ### Adjusting Settings
+ *
+ * Edit this file directly, then tell Kai:
+ * - "Kai, reload delegation config"
+ * - "I updated delegation timeouts"
+ * - "I disabled auggie delegation"
+ *
+ * Kai will re-read this file and adjust behavior.
+ *
+ * ### Disabling Tools
+ *
+ * Change `enabled: true` to `enabled: false`, or tell Kai:
+ * - "Don't use auggie for delegation anymore"
+ * - "Disable gemini delegation"
+ *
+ * ### Changing Priorities
+ *
+ * Lower number = higher priority. Adjust the `priority:` value.

+
+/**
+ * # Delegation System - Technical Documentation
+ *
+ * ## Architecture
+ *
+ * The delegation system consists of two main components:
+ *
+ * 1. **delegate.md** (this file) - Configuration and documentation
+ * 2. **delegate-router.md** - Smart routing engine that executes delegations
+ *
+ * ## How It Works
+ *
+ * ### 1. Task Analysis
+ *
+ * When Kai receives a request, it analyzes:
+ * - **File count**: How many files are involved?
+ * - **Token estimate**: How large is the context?
+ * - **Task type**: Analysis, generation, refactoring, etc.
+ * - **Scope**: Single file, multi-file, or codebase-wide?
+ *
+ * ### 2. Delegation Decision
+ *
+ * Triggers delegation if:
+ * - File count > 10, OR
+ * - Estimated tokens > 20,000, OR
+ * - Explicit tool request (e.g., "use auggie to...")
+ *
+ * ### 3. Tool Selection
+ *
+ * The router:
+ * 1. Reads this config file
+ * 2. Filters enabled tools
+ * 3. Matches task type to tool capabilities
+ * 4. Selects by priority (lower number = higher priority)
+ * 5. Falls back to next tool if primary fails
+ * 6. **Asks user if all tools fail** (no auto-fallback to Kai)
+ *
+ * ### 4. Execution
+ *
+ * The router:
+ * 1. Constructs appropriate command
+ * 2. Executes with configured timeout
+ * 3. Captures stdout/stderr
+ * 4. Returns results to Kai
+ *
+ * ### 5. Synthesis
+ *
+ * Kai:
+ * 1. Receives raw tool output
+ * 2. Synthesizes into coherent response
+ * 3. Presents to user in structured format
+ * 4. Credits the tool used
+ *
+ * ## Token Savings
+ *
+ * Example scenarios:
+ *
+ * **Scenario 1: Codebase Analysis (850 files)**
+ * - Without delegation: ~40,000 tokens (reading all files)
+ * - With auggie delegation: ~7,000 tokens (auggie summary + synthesis)
+ * - **Savings: ~82%**
+ *
+ * **Scenario 2: Large Document Summary (100KB text)**
+ * - Without delegation: ~25,000 tokens (full document in context)
+ * - With gemini delegation: ~5,000 tokens (gemini summary + synthesis)
+ * - **Savings: ~80%**
+ *
+ * **Scenario 3: Multi-file Refactoring (15 files)**
+ * - Without delegation: ~30,000 tokens (all files + edits)
+ * - With aider delegation: ~3,000 tokens (aider handles edits)
+ * - **Savings: ~90%**
+ *
+ * ## Tool Capabilities
+ *
+ * ### Auggie (Priority 1)
+ *
+ * **Best for:**
+ * - Large codebases (>10 files)
+ * - Understanding project architecture
+ * - Finding patterns across files
+ * - Comprehensive analysis
+ *
+ * **How it works:**
+ * - Indexes entire codebase
+ * - Uses vector embeddings for semantic search
+ * - Understands code relationships
+ * - Can answer specific questions about code
+ *
+ * **Example tasks:**
+ * - "Analyze the authentication system"
+ * - "Find all API endpoints"
+ * - "Explain the database schema"
+ * - "Map out the component hierarchy"
+ *
+ * ### Gemini (Priority 2)
+ *
+ * **Best for:**
+ * - Fast text generation
+ * - Document summarization
+ * - Code generation from scratch
+ * - Web research
+ *
+ * **How it works:**
+ * - Large context window (1M+ tokens)
+ * - Extremely fast inference
+ * - Can search web for current info
+ * - Good at creative generation
+ *
+ * **Example tasks:**
+ * - "Summarize this 50-page document"
+ * - "Generate boilerplate for X"
+ * - "Research current best practices for Y"
+ * - "Create test data for Z"
+ *
+ * ### Aider (Priority 3)
+ *
+ * **Best for:**
+ * - Direct file editing
+ * - Multi-file refactoring
+ * - Implementation tasks
+ * - Git-aware changes
+ *
+ * **How it works:**
+ * - Reads files directly from disk
+ * - Makes precise edits
+ * - Creates git commits
+ * - Can work with multiple files
+ *
+ * **Example tasks:**
+ * - "Add docstrings to all functions"
+ * - "Refactor class X to use pattern Y"
+ * - "Update all imports to use new path"
+ * - "Add error handling to these 10 files"
+ *
+ * ## Configuration Format
+ *
+ * The config uses YAML-style markdown for readability. Kai parses this file by:
+ *
+ * 1. Reading the entire file as text
+ * 2. Extracting tool sections (### tool-name)
+ * 3. Parsing YAML-like key-value pairs
+ * 4. Building internal config object
+ *
+ * This is the PAI pattern: human-readable markdown that Kai can parse.
+ *
+ * ## Natural Language Configuration
+ *
+ * You can configure the system by talking to Kai:
+ *
+ * **Disable a tool:**
+ * - "Don't use auggie anymore"
+ * - "Disable aider delegation"
+ *
+ * **Adjust timeouts:**
+ * - "Increase auggie timeout to 5 minutes"
+ * - "Set gemini timeout to 30 seconds"
+ *
+ * **Change priorities:**
+ * - "Make gemini the first choice for analysis"
+ * - "Prefer aider over auggie for refactoring"
+ *
+ * **Add new tool:**
+ * - "I installed a new tool called 'cursor-ai'"
+ * - "Add cursor-ai to delegation with priority 4"
+ *
+ * Kai will update this file and confirm the changes.
+ *
+ * ## Extending the System
+ *
+ * To add a new AI tool:
+ *
+ * 1. **Install the tool** and verify it works
+ * 2. **Add config section** (copy existing tool format)
+ * 3. **Tell Kai** about it: "I added tool X, use it for Y tasks"
+ * 4. **Test it**: Ask Kai to delegate a task to your new tool
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * ```yaml
+ * ### cursor-ai
+ * enabled: true
+ * command: cursor-ai
+ * priority: 4
+ * timeout: 90000
+ *
+ * bestFor:
+ *   - interactive-editing
+ *   - ide-integration
+ *
+ * strengths:
+ *   - Real-time suggestions
+ *   - IDE integration
+ *
+ * usage: |
+ *   cursor-ai analyze "task" --path /project
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Troubleshooting
+ *
+ * ### Tools not found
+ *
+ * Run this file: `bun delegate.md`
+ *
+ * This checks which tools are installed and where they are.
+ *
+ * ### Delegation not triggering
+ *
+ * Check the thresholds:
+ * - Is your task >10 files?
+ * - Is your task >20K tokens?
+ *
+ * You can force delegation: "Use auggie to analyze this single file"
+ *
+ * ### Tool timeouts
+ *
+ * If tools are timing out, increase the timeout in config:
+ * - auggie: 120000 (2 min) → 300000 (5 min)
+ * - gemini: 60000 (1 min) → 120000 (2 min)
+ * - aider: 180000 (3 min) → 360000 (6 min)
+ *
+ * Or tell Kai: "Increase auggie timeout to 5 minutes"
+ *
+ * ### Wrong tool selected
+ *
+ * Adjust priorities or force specific tool:
+ * - "Use gemini instead of auggie for this"
+ * - "Always prefer aider for refactoring tasks"
+ *
+ * ## Security Considerations
+ *
+ * - Tools run with your user permissions
+ * - Tools can read/write files in delegated paths
+ * - Review tool output before accepting changes
+ * - Aider can modify files directly (use git!)
+ * - Gemini can make web requests
+ *
+ * ## Performance Tips
+ *
+ * 1. **Use auggie for codebases** - It's optimized for project analysis
+ * 2. **Use gemini for speed** - Fastest for text generation
+ * 3. **Use aider for editing** - Direct file manipulation is faster
+ * 4. **Adjust timeouts** - Complex tasks need more time
+ * 5. **Enable only needed tools** - Reduces decision overhead
+ *
+ * ## Integration with PAI
+ *
+ * The delegation system is designed for the Personal AI (PAI) ecosystem:
+ *
+ * - **Markdown-first**: Config is readable markdown, not JSON
+ * - **Natural language**: Configure by talking to Kai
+ * - **Zero-setup**: Works if tools are installed
+ * - **Consistent patterns**: Follows PAI conventions
+ * - **Extensible**: Easy to add new tools
+ *
+ * ## Related Documentation
