 ## Overview
 
-**BMad Method's Two Key Innovations:**
+**BMad Method's Three Key Innovations:**
 
 **1. Agentic Planning:** Dedicated agents (Analyst, PM, Architect) collaborate with you to create detailed, consistent PRDs and Architecture documents. Through advanced prompt engineering and human-in-the-loop refinement, these planning agents produce comprehensive specifications that go far beyond generic AI task generation.
 
 **2. Context-Engineered Development:** The Scrum Master agent then transforms these detailed plans into hyper-detailed development stories that contain everything the Dev agent needs - full context, implementation details, and architectural guidance embedded directly in story files.
 
-This two-phase approach eliminates both **planning inconsistency** and **context loss** - the biggest problems in AI-assisted development. Your Dev agent opens a story file with complete understanding of what to build, how to build it, and why.
+**3. Collaborative Quality Assurance:** Built-in workspace system enables cross-agent coordination, automatic escalation to external LLMs when stuck, and comprehensive quality validation to prevent technical debt from ambiguous requirements.

+This three-phase approach eliminates **planning inconsistency**, **context loss**, and **implementation ambiguity** - the biggest problems in AI-assisted development. Your Dev agent opens a story file with complete understanding of what to build, how to build it, and why, plus automatic collaboration when requirements need clarification.

 - **Tasks are procedures**: Step-by-step instructions an agent follows to complete work
 - **Templates are outputs**: Structured documents with embedded instructions for generation

+- **Zero tolerance for simulation**: Automatic detection and prevention of placeholder implementations
+- **Collaborative problem-solving**: Auto-escalation to external LLMs and cross-agent coordination when stuck
+- **Universal IDE support**: Workspace functionality works across all major IDEs and development environments
+- **Intelligent automation**: Automatic loop detection, quality validation, and remediation generation
