 ## Usage
 
 1.  Build Bauer locally using the Local development steps above (`task build`)
-2. If running with GitHub integration (no `--parse-only`), ensure `copilot` is installed and authenticated
+2. If running with GitHub issue creation (no `--parse-only`), ensure GitHub CLI auth is available
 3. Get document ID from Google Document & share the document with the service account
 4. Run Bauer
 
+### GitHub CLI authentication
+
+Run these once before using parse-and-issue mode:
+
+```bash
+gh auth login
+gh auth status
+```
+
+If you prefer token auth in non-interactive environments:
+
+```bash
+export GH_TOKEN=<your_token>
+gh auth status
+```
+
 ```bash
 ./bauer --doc-id <your-document-id> --credentials ./credentials.json
 ```

+Current execution modes:
+
+1. Parse-only mode (`--parse-only`)
+- Creates `bauer-output/bauer-parse-result.json`
+- Does not push branches
+- Does not create issues
+
+2. Parse-and-issue mode (without `--parse-only`)
+- Creates `bauer-output/bauer-parse-result.json`
+- Creates a branch and pushes the parse file into that branch
+- Opens a GitHub issue assigned to Copilot (with fallbacks) and includes branch/pinned/raw links to the prompt file
+
+*GitHub auth is only required when using parse-and-issue mode.
 
-*These flags require Copilot integration to be configured when performing GitHub operations (not needed for `--parse-only`)
