What: Restructures the Quick Start section to lead with the zero-install npx -y preflight-dev path instead of requiring users to clone first.

Changes:

  • Reorders options: npx zero-install → npm global → clone (contributor path)
  • Adds -y flag to npx for non-interactive use
  • Explains what CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR enables (contracts, file search, triage)
  • Notes that .mcp.json paths must be absolute
  • Uses /absolute/path/... in placeholders to prevent confusion

Why: The old Option A ('fastest') still required knowing a clone path. The actual fastest onboarding is a single npx command with no clone step.

… and contracts

The README references .preflight/ config extensively but there were no
concrete example files to copy. This adds a ready-to-use examples/.preflight/
directory with annotated config.yml, triage.yml, and contracts/api.yml,
plus a README explaining how to use them.
Created examples/USAGE_EXAMPLES.md with 8 real-world scenarios showing
what each tool looks like in practice: preflight_check catching vague
prompts, scope_work creating execution plans, enrich_agent_task for
sub-agents, sharpen_followup resolving ambiguity, session health checks,
semantic history search, weekly scorecards, and prompt grading.

Added link to usage examples in README nav bar.
