Summary

User feedback: README still over-explains things the launcher now
handles for you. This pass slims it down.

  • `npx` is the lead recipe — `npx agentmind-cli claude` /
    `npx agentmind-cli codex`. Global install demoted to a one-line
    footnote.
  • Bare `agentmind-cli` (no subcommand) is no longer promoted.
    It still works (v0.2.1 added it as an implicit Claude shortcut), but
    every doc example now spells out the subcommand. Less guessing.
  • Codex manual setup collapsed. ~50 lines of "two defaults work
    against us" lecture down to the config snippet + one paragraph on
    the two required flags. `agentmind-cli codex` handles all the
    quirks transparently — manual setup is now a small escape hatch for
    the `--no-agent` flow, not a primary path.
  • Dropped the technical Upstream/endpoint table from the quick
    start (duplicated the Supported-agents section below it).
  • Misc: "reuse" instead of "work with" for existing logins,
    trimmed the migration parenthetical in the storage section, removed
    the "launches Claude by default" caption from the file tree.

126 lines → 89 lines (-37).

Scope

Doc-only. No code changes. `pnpm typecheck` is clean.

* Lead the quick start with `npx agentmind-cli claude` /
  `npx agentmind-cli codex` — zero install, zero config. Global
  install becomes a one-line footnote.
* Demote bare `agentmind-cli` (the v0.2.1 implicit default). It
  still works in the binary, but the docs now always show an
  explicit subcommand. Less guessing for new readers.
* Drop the technical Upstream/endpoint table from the quick-start
  area — duplicated the later Supported-agents section and added
  noise. Kept one status table further down.
* Manual setup: collapsed the Codex section from ~50 lines of
  "two defaults work against us" lecture down to the config snippet
  + one paragraph explaining the two required flags. The launcher
  handles all of this transparently so the long version was dead
  weight for 95% of readers.
* Small consistency edits: \"reuse\" instead of \"work with\" for
  existing logins, trimmed the migration parenthetical in the
  storage section, and removed the \"launches Claude by default\"
  caption from the file tree.

No behaviour change, doc-only. \`pnpm typecheck\` is clean.
