-Design Principle:
-
-- Extremely dense, bulleted but complete.
-- Cache-worthy, cross-session reusable context. Pure duplicates of plan.yaml are removed: agents read plan.yaml directly for task registry, implementation spec, validation status; store references/summaries only when reuse value is clear.
-- Context envelope must justify each populated section by future reuse value.
-- If a section is unlikely to save future discovery effort, omit it.

- **Works With Your Tools**: Seamless integration with Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and Windsurf. Use your preferred environment.
- **Learns & Improves**: Remembers what works and extracts reusable skills. Your AI gets smarter and more efficient over time.
+### Intelligent Model Routing
+
+Gem Team automatically uses the right model for each kind of work:
+
+- **Premium models** handle planning, debugging, critique, and review where deeper reasoning matters.
+- **Explore models** handle research, implementation, testing, documentation, and other bounded tasks efficiently.
+- **Configurable tiers** let you choose the models and providers that fit your budget and workflow.
+
+This gives you stronger verification where it matters without paying the highest model cost for every task. Configure it once in `.gem-team.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+model_routing:
+ enabled: true
+ tiers:
+ premium: "your-strong-model (provider)"
+ explore: "your-fast-model (provider)"

**TL;DR:** Gem Team turns AI coding into a structured, repeatable engineering process with built-in quality, efficiency, and learning.
