 ## Using TanStack Query (Recommended for new code)
 
-For new API integrations, we recommend using TanStack Query directly:
+For new API integrations, we recommend using TanStack Query with `query` utility function. This is a wrapper around `fetch` that works seamlessly with TanStack Query. It handles response parsing, error handling, setting headers, and more.

+
+### query
+
+`query` is our wrapper around fetch that works seamlessly with TanStack Query. It:
+- Handles response parsing (JSON, text, blobs).
+- Constructs proper error objects.
+- Sets the headers appropriately.
+- Integrates with our global error handling.
+
+```typescript
+interface QueryOptions {
+  pathParams?: Record<string, string>;  // URL parameters
+  queryParams?: Record<string, string>; // Query string parameters
+  silent?: boolean;                     // Suppress error notifications
 }
+
+// Basic usage
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ["users"],
+  queryFn: query(routes.users.list)
+});
+
+// With parameters
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ["user", id],
+  queryFn: query(routes.users.get, {
+    pathParams: { id },
+    queryParams: { include: "details" },
+    silent: true  // Optional: suppress error notifications
+  })
+});
 ```
 
+### Error Handling
+
+All API errors are now handled globally. Common scenarios like:
+
+- Session expiry -> Redirects to /session-expired
+- Bad requests (400/406) -> Shows error notification
+are automatically handled.
+
+Use the `silent: true` option to suppress error notifications for specific queries.
+
 ## Migration Guide & Reference
 
 ### Understanding the Transition
 
 Our codebase contains two patterns for data fetching:
+
 1. Legacy pattern using `useTanStackQueryInstead` (wrapper around TanStack Query)
 2. Modern pattern using TanStack Query directly
