## README, CONTRIBUTING, AGENTS.md
A **README** does two jobs, in this order:
A **README** sells, then gets the reader running:
- **Marketing:** why should the reader care? What's cool about this?
A few lines, not a feature matrix.
- **Up top, about two sentences:** what it is and why to care. Then
straight to getting started.
- **Getting started:** get them to TADA! with no fuss. Readers skip to
the first fenced block and copy it; if it doesn't work, boo. So that
block runs as-is from a fresh clone and ends with something to look
at (a URL, output). No architecture, no principles.
- **After that:** features and benefits, as much as earns its place.
Everything else goes in **CONTRIBUTING**: design, layout of the code,
how to test, conventions, deploying.
