What

Documentation overhaul, docs-only (no code changes; go test ./... green).

README.md → welcoming + advertising

  • One-sentence pitch, a "why you want this" hook, and a jargon-free "What is this, in simple terms?" section (npm-for-your-AI's-brain analogy) for non-technical readers.
  • Compact install one-liners (npm / Homebrew / go install, with Releases linked) and a copy-pasteable 60-second quickstart.
  • Killer-features section with short blurbs, each linking to a deep-dive: seven buckets (rules/skills/workflows/agents/plans/specs/ADRs), declarative sources.yaml + sources.lock SHA-pinned pulls, quarantine + static scanning by default, linked/editable sources (new in 1.4.0, SPEC-007), OS-scoped routing, AGENTS.md auto-index, SKILL.md lint, and global scope.

Nitty-gritty moved to docs/ (relocated, not lost)

New pages: docs/install.md, docs/topology.md (tree layout, optional buckets, STATE.md, config), docs/commands/README.md (full command + options reference + usage), docs/commands/fix.md, docs/sources.md, docs/quarantine.md, docs/linked-sources.md, docs/inheritance.md, docs/adrs.md, docs/os-scoped-routing.md. docs/README.md is now a full index (getting started / features / architecture / command deep-dives); docs/commands/lint.md gained the frontmatter-contract intro that used to live in the README.

Specs: dead context deleted

  • Deleted (fully shipped as of v1.4.0): SPEC-001 (go-install/goreleaser), SPEC-002 (promote/global sync), SPEC-003 (source manifest), SPEC-004 (asset buckets), SPEC-007 (linked sources). Their full text lives in git history: git log --all --oneline -- specs/.
  • Kept + trimmed: SPEC-005 (Parts A+B collapsed to a shipped summary; tracks only open Part C sandboxed exec) and SPEC-006 (core collapsed to a shipped summary; tracks only the open AGENTS.md OS badge + concat OS headers). Frontmatter status/updated fields refreshed.
  • Doc links to retired spec files converted to plain-text references so nothing 404s.

No plans/ directory exists, so no action there.

Verification

  • go test ./... passes.
  • No remaining links to deleted spec files (grep -rn "specs/SPEC-00[12347]" docs/ is clean).

…ocs/

Rewrite README.md as a high-level pitch: plain-English explainer,
install one-liners, 60-second quickstart, and punchy feature blurbs
(buckets, sources+lockfile, quarantine, linked sources, OS routing,
AGENTS.md index, lint). All nitty-gritty relocated — not lost — into
new docs pages: install, topology, sources, quarantine, linked-sources,
inheritance, adrs, os-scoped-routing, commands/README (full command +
options reference), commands/fix. docs/README.md index expanded to
cover getting-started, features, architecture, and command deep-dives.

…o open work

Delete SPEC-001 (go-install/goreleaser), SPEC-002 (promote/global
sync), SPEC-003 (source manifest), SPEC-004 (asset buckets), and
SPEC-007 (linked sources) — all fully shipped as of v1.4.0; their full
text remains in git history (git log --all -- specs/).

SPEC-005 and SPEC-006 stay: shipped parts collapsed to a short summary,
frontmatter status updated, and the specs now track only what remains
open — SPEC-005 Part C (sandboxed skill exec) and SPEC-006's AGENTS.md
OS badge + concat OS headers.
