### Key Improvements

#### 1. Marketing-Focused Language

**Before** (Technical):
```markdown
# BMad Commands Reference
BMad (Business + Marcus + Alex + Development) represents the VERSATIL 5-Rule automation system.
```

**After** (Marketing):
```markdown
# 🚀 Quick Start - VERSATIL in 5 Minutes
Transform your development workflow with AI agents in under 5 minutes.
No configuration files. No complex setup. Just install, initialize, and start coding.
```

#### 2. User Journey

**Old Structure**: Technical reference scattered across 45 files
**New Structure**: Clear 3-click journey:
1. **Getting Started** → Install & run (5 min)
2. **Agents** → Meet your AI team
3. **Features/Guides** → Learn advanced features

#### 3. Benefit-Driven

**Before**: Features-first (what it does)
**After**: Benefits-first (what you get)

Example:
- ❌ "RAG integration with vector embeddings"
- ✅ "Zero context loss across all sessions - agents remember everything"

#### 4. Visual Hierarchy

- ✅ Emojis for quick scanning
- ✅ Tables for metrics
- ✅ Code examples with output
- ✅ Step-by-step guides
- ✅ Clear CTAs (call-to-action)
