 ## Features
 
 - **TUI Interface** — Full-screen terminal UI with chat panel, input bar, and status bar built with ratatui and crossterm.
-- **Multi-Agent Modes** — Auto (full autonomy), Normal (review risky ops), Plan (no mutations), Yolo (unrestricted).
+
 - **Rich Tool System** — 20+ built-in tools for file operations, searching, bash execution, git operations, web access, memory management, and workflow orchestration.
 - **Daemon Architecture** — Run as a background daemon with client attach/detach via Unix domain sockets.
 - **IPC Protocol** — Bidirectional state synchronization between daemon and client processes.

-## Agent Modes
-
-- **Auto** — Full autonomy. The agent can read, write, edit files, run bash commands, and execute git operations without confirmation.
-- **Normal** — Risky operations (write, delete, edit, bash, destructive git) require manual approval.
-- **Plan** — Planning mode. The agent can analyze and propose changes but cannot execute mutations.
-- **Yolo** — Unrestricted mode. Full autonomy with no confirmation prompts.

 ## Security

 7. Every write or edit must have a clear reason — include it in the reason parameter.
 8. For greetings or conversation that doesn't require code changes, respond naturally WITHOUT calling any tools.
 9. After making changes, verify they work by running builds or tests.
-10. Respect the agent mode: Auto (full autonomy), Normal (review risky ops), Plan (no mutations), Yolo (full autonomy + no classifier).

 Available tools are described in the system-tools.txt section. Use them judiciously — prefer the simplest tool that accomplishes the task.
