-TaskMesh is a lightweight task routing layer for AI agents.
+## Overview
+-----------
 
-It allows agents to publish tasks and other agents to claim them based on capability or availability.
+TaskMesh is a lightweight, open-source task routing layer designed for AI agents. It enables agents to publish tasks and other agents to claim them based on their capabilities or availability.
 
 ## Quick Start
+-------------
 
-Clone the repository and run the demo.
+Get started with TaskMesh by cloning the repository and running the demo.
+
+### Installation
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/joshuamlamerton/taskmesh
 cd taskmesh
+```
+
+### Running the Demo
+
+```bash
 python examples/demo.py
 ```
 
-## Architecture
+This will launch the demo, showcasing the following features:
 
-```mermaid
-flowchart TB
+* Task submission
+* Agent task claiming
+* Task assignment by the router
 
-A[Task Producer Agent]
-B[TaskMesh Router]
-C[Worker Agent 1]
-D[Worker Agent 2]
+## Architecture
+-------------
 
-A --> B
-B --> C
-B --> D
-```
+TaskMesh consists of the following components:
 
-## What it does
+* **Task Producer Agent**: Publishes tasks to the TaskMesh router.
+* **TaskMesh Router**: Routes tasks to available worker agents based on their capabilities or availability.
+* **Worker Agent**: Claims tasks from the TaskMesh router and performs the assigned work.
 
-The demo shows:
+The following Mermaid diagram illustrates the architecture:

-- agents claiming tasks
-- the router assigning work

+TaskMesh is currently in the experimental phase and is being developed in stages. The following roadmap outlines the planned features and milestones:
 
-core
-  task_router.py
+### Phase 1: Basic Task Queue
 
-examples
-  demo.py
-```
+* Implement a basic task queue to store and retrieve tasks.
+* Agents can submit and claim tasks from the queue.
 
-## Roadmap
+### Phase 2: Capability-Based Routing
+
+* Introduce capability-based routing to match tasks with agents that possess the required skills.
+* Agents can claim tasks based on their capabilities.
 
-Phase 1  
-Basic task queue
+### Phase 3: Priority and Retry Logic
 
-Phase 2  
-Capability-based routing
+* Implement priority-based task assignment to ensure critical tasks are completed first.
+* Introduce retry logic to handle task failures and ensure task completion.
 
-Phase 3  
-Priority and retry logic
+### Phase 4: Multi-Agent Coordination Features
 
-Phase 4  
-Multi-agent coordination features
+* Develop features to enable multi-agent coordination, such as task delegation and agent collaboration.
+* Enhance the TaskMesh router to manage complex task workflows and agent interactions.
