+If you want to build an app from scratch with Kilo Code, here’s how to use the different modes and instruct them:
+
+## Where to Start
+
+- **Start in Orchestrator Mode** if your project is complex or involves multiple steps (like building a full app). Orchestrator Mode will help break down your big goal into smaller, specialized subtasks and assign them to the right modes automatically[1][2].
+
+## When to Use Each Mode
+
+- **Orchestrator Mode:** Use this to manage the overall workflow. It coordinates tasks, delegates subtasks (like planning, coding, debugging), and keeps your main conversation focused on high-level progress[1][2].
+- **Architect Mode:** Use when you need to design your system, plan features, or make architectural decisions. Architect Mode helps you create plans, diagrams, and documentation, but won’t modify your codebase directly[1][3][4].
+- **Coder (Code) Mode:** Use for hands-on implementation—writing code, building features, and making changes to your files. This mode has full access to your project and is ideal for actual development work[3][5][4].
+- **Debugger Mode:** Use when you need to find and fix bugs. Debugger Mode specializes in troubleshooting, running diagnostics, and resolving errors in your codebase[3][5][4].
+
+## How to Instruct Each Mode
+
+- **Switch Modes:** You can switch modes via the dropdown menu, slash commands (e.g., `/architect`, `/code`), or keyboard shortcuts (e.g., ⌘ + . on Mac, Ctrl + . on Windows/Linux)[3].
+- **Direct Instructions:** When in a mode, just type your instructions or questions in the chat input. For example:
+  - In Architect Mode: “Design a scalable backend for a note-taking app.”
+  - In Code Mode: “Implement the user authentication feature.”
+  - In Debug Mode: “Fix the bug causing login failures.”
+- **Orchestrator Mode:** Describe your overall goal (e.g., “Build a note organizer app with search and tagging”). Orchestrator will suggest how to break it down and automatically switch to the right modes for each subtask[1][2].
+
+## Typical Workflow
+
+1. **Start in Orchestrator Mode**: Describe your app idea and main requirements.
+2. **Architect Mode**: Kilo will switch to Architect Mode to help plan and design the app.
+3. **Code Mode**: After planning, Kilo will move to Code Mode to implement the plan.
+4. **Debug Mode**: Once features are built, switch to Debug Mode to test and fix any issues.
+5. **Repeat as Needed**: You can manually switch modes or let Orchestrator handle transitions for you[1][3][2].
+
+This approach lets you focus on your goals while Kilo Code uses the best tools for each stage of development.
