Simplify README Quick Start with numbered command flows

Replace wordy paragraphs and track table with two clear numbered
paths (Quick Flow: 3 commands, BMad Method: 6 steps) and a
prominent /bmad-help callout as the primary guidance mechanism.

Follow the installer prompts to configure your project.
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in the project folder.
Once you have installed BMad to a folder, launch your tool of choice from where you installed BMad. (We really like Claude Code and Cursor - but there are any that work great with BMad!)
> **Not sure what to do?** Run `/bmad-help` — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask it questions like `/bmad-help How should I build a web app for XYZ?`
Then its simple as running the command: `/bmad-help` if you do not know what to do. Depending on which modules you have installed, you will have different choices.
### Simple Path (Quick Flow)
To make the help more applicable you can even run the `/bmad-help What do you suggest I do to get started building a brand new web application for XYZ`.
Bug fixes, small features, clear scope — 3 commands:
The results from BMad Help will be able to suggest and constantly guide you on what to do next - along with the workflows upon completion also making suggestions on what to do next.
1. `/quick-spec` — analyzes your codebase and produces a tech-spec with stories
2. `/dev-story` — implements each story
3. `/code-review` — validates quality
This analyzes your project and recommends a track:
### Full Planning Path (BMad Method)
| Track | Best For | Time to First Story Coding |
| --------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Quick Flow** | Bug fixes, small features | ~10-30 minutes |
| **BMad Method** | Products and platforms | ~30 minutes - 2 hours |
| **Enterprise** | Compliance-heavy systems | ~1-3 hours |
Products, platforms, complex features — structured planning then build:
1. `/product-brief` — define problem, users, and MVP scope
2. `/create-prd` — full requirements with personas, metrics, and risks
3. `/create-architecture` — technical decisions and system design
4. `/create-epics-and-stories` — break work into prioritized stories
5. `/sprint-planning` — initialize sprint tracking
6. **Repeat per story:** `/create-story``/dev-story``/code-review`
Every step tells you what's next. Optional phases (brainstorming, research, UX design) are available when you need them — ask `/bmad-help` anytime.
