+
+#### Single Agent Planning (Simplest)
+
+Enable planning for any single agent:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+def search_web(query: str) -> str:
+    return f"Search results for: {query}"
+
+agent = Agent(
+    name="AI Assistant",
+    instructions="Research and write about topics",
+    planning=True,              # Enable planning mode
+    planning_tools=[search_web], # Tools for planning research
+    planning_reasoning=True      # Chain-of-thought reasoning
+)
+
+result = agent.start("Research AI trends in 2025 and write a summary")
+```
+
+#### Multi-Agent Planning
+
+Plan before execution with multiple agents:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, Task, PraisonAIAgents
+
+researcher = Agent(name="Researcher", role="Research Analyst")
+writer = Agent(name="Writer", role="Content Writer")
+
+research_task = Task(description="Research AI benefits", agent=researcher)
+write_task = Task(description="Write summary", agent=writer)

+    planning_tools=[search_web], # Tools for planning research
+    planning_reasoning=True,     # Chain-of-thought reasoning
+    auto_approve_plan=True       # Auto-approve plans
+)
+
+result = agents.start()
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- **Single Agent Planning**: `Agent(planning=True)` - simplest API
+- **Multi-Agent Planning**: `PraisonAIAgents(planning=True)` - orchestrated
+- **Planning Tools**: Research with tools before creating plans
+- **Reasoning Mode**: Chain-of-thought planning with tool use
+- **Todo Lists**: Auto-generated from plans with progress tracking
+- **Read-Only Mode**: `plan_mode=True` restricts agents to safe tools
+- **Approval Flow**: Review and approve plans before execution
+- **Persistence**: Plans saved to `.praison/plans/` as markdown

 ## Memory
 
-Persistent memory with short-term, long-term, and graph memory support.
+PraisonAI provides a comprehensive memory system.
+
+### Quick Start (Zero Dependencies)
 
 ```python
-from praisonaiagents import Agent, Memory
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+from praisonaiagents.memory import FileMemory
+
+# Simple file-based memory (no extra dependencies)
+memory = FileMemory(user_id="user123")
+
+agent = Agent(
+    name="Memory Agent",
+    instructions="You are a helpful assistant with memory.",
+    memory=memory  # or memory=True for auto FileMemory
+)
+
+response = agent.chat("My name is John and I prefer Python")
+# Memory automatically stores this context
+```
+
+### Advanced Memory (with providers)
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import Memory
 
 memory = Memory(
-    provider="chroma",  # or "mongodb", "rag"
+    provider="chroma",  # or "mongodb", "mem0", "rag"
     use_short_term=True,
     use_long_term=True
 )
 
+agent = Agent(name="Memory Agent", memory=memory)
+```
+
+### Memory Types
+
+| Type | Description | Storage |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| **Short-term** | Rolling buffer of recent context | JSON/SQLite |
+| **Long-term** | Persistent facts and knowledge | JSON/SQLite/Vector DB |
+| **Entity** | Named entities (people, places, concepts) | JSON/SQLite |
+| **Episodic** | Date-based interaction memories | JSON files |
+| **Graph** | Relationship-based memory | Mem0/Neo4j |
+
+### Session Save/Resume
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import FileMemory
+
+memory = FileMemory(user_id="user123")
+
+# Add context during conversation
+memory.add_short_term("User is working on ML project")
+memory.add_long_term("User prefers Python", importance=0.9)
+
+# Save session for later
+memory.save_session("ml_project", conversation_history=[...])
+
+# Resume later
+session_data = memory.resume_session("ml_project")
+
+# List all sessions
+sessions = memory.list_sessions()
+```
+
+### Context Compression
+
+```python
+# Auto-compress when memory gets full
+memory.auto_compress_if_needed(threshold_percent=0.7)
+
+# Manual compression with LLM summarization
+def llm_summarize(prompt):
+    return agent.chat(prompt)
+
+summary = memory.compress(llm_func=llm_summarize, max_items=10)
+```
+
+### Checkpointing
+
+```python
+# Create checkpoint before risky operations
+checkpoint_id = memory.create_checkpoint("before_refactor", include_files=["main.py"])
+
+# Restore if needed
+memory.restore_checkpoint(checkpoint_id, restore_files=True)
+
+# List checkpoints
+checkpoints = memory.list_checkpoints()
+```
+
+### Memory Slash Commands
+
+```python
+# Handle slash commands programmatically
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory show")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory add User likes coffee")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory search Python")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory save my_session")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory compress")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory checkpoint")
+result = memory.handle_command("/memory help")
+```
+
+**Available Commands:**
+- `/memory show` - Display stats and recent items
+- `/memory add <content>` - Add to long-term memory
+- `/memory clear [short|all]` - Clear memory
+- `/memory search <query>` - Search memories
+- `/memory save <name>` - Save session
+- `/memory resume <name>` - Resume session
+- `/memory sessions` - List saved sessions
+- `/memory compress` - Compress short-term memory
+- `/memory checkpoint [name]` - Create checkpoint
+- `/memory restore <id>` - Restore checkpoint
+- `/memory checkpoints` - List checkpoints
+- `/memory refresh` - Reload from disk

+
+### Auto-Discovery
+
+Rules are automatically loaded when you create an Agent:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+# Agent auto-discovers CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, etc.
 agent = Agent(
-    name="Memory Agent",
-    memory=memory
+    name="Assistant",
+    instructions="You are helpful."
+)
+
+# Rules are injected into system prompt automatically
+```
+
+### Rule File Format
+
+Rules support YAML frontmatter for advanced configuration:
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: Python coding guidelines
+globs: ["**/*.py", "**/*.pyx"]
+activation: always  # always, glob, manual, ai_decision
+priority: 10
+---
+
+# Python Guidelines
+- Use type hints for all functions
+- Follow PEP 8 style guide
+- Write docstrings for public APIs
+```
+
+### Activation Modes
+
+| Mode | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `always` | Always applied (default) |
+| `glob` | Applied when file matches glob pattern |
+| `manual` | Only when explicitly invoked via @mention |
+| `ai_decision` | AI decides when to apply |
+
+### Programmatic Rules Management
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import RulesManager
+
+rules = RulesManager(workspace_path="/path/to/project")
+
+# Get all active rules
+active = rules.get_active_rules()
+
+# Get rules for specific file
+python_rules = rules.get_rules_for_file("src/main.py")
+
+# Build context for LLM
+context = rules.build_rules_context(file_path="src/main.py")
+
+# Create new rule
+rules.create_rule(
+    name="testing",
+    content="Always write tests first",
+    globs=["**/*.test.*"],
+    activation="glob"
+)
+
+# Get stats
+stats = rules.get_stats()
+# {'total_rules': 5, 'root_rules': 3, 'workspace_rules': 2, ...}

+### Auto-Generated Memories
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import FileMemory, AutoMemory
+
+memory = FileMemory(user_id="user123")
+auto = AutoMemory(memory, enabled=True)
+
+# Automatically extracts and stores memories from conversations
+memories = auto.process_interaction(
+    "My name is John and I prefer Python for backend work"
+)
+# Extracts: name="John", preference="Python for backend"
+```
+
+### Workflows
+
+Create reusable multi-step workflows:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import WorkflowManager
+
+manager = WorkflowManager()
+
+# Execute a workflow
+result = manager.execute(
+    "deploy",
+    executor=lambda prompt: agent.chat(prompt),
+    variables={"environment": "production"}
 )
 ```
 
-**Memory Types:**
-- **Short-term**: Recent conversation context
-- **Long-term**: Persistent storage across sessions
-- **Graph**: Relationship-based memory with Mem0
+### Hooks
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import HooksManager
+
+hooks = HooksManager()
+
+# Register Python hooks
+hooks.register("pre_write_code", lambda ctx: print(f"Writing {ctx['file']}"))
+
+# Or configure in .praison/hooks.json
+```

+Create reusable multi-step workflows in `.praison/workflows/`:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import WorkflowManager
+
+manager = WorkflowManager()
+
+# Execute a workflow
+result = manager.execute(
+    "deploy",
+    executor=lambda prompt: agent.chat(prompt),
+    variables={"environment": "production"}
+)
+```
+
+### 9. Hooks
+
+Configure in `.praison/hooks.json`:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents.memory import HooksManager
+
+hooks = HooksManager()
+
+# Register Python hooks
+hooks.register("pre_write_code", lambda ctx: print(f"Writing {ctx['file']}"))
+
+# Execute hooks
+result = hooks.execute("pre_write_code", {"file": "main.py"})
