 # Zift 🛡️
 
-**Zift** is an elite, high-performance security scanner designed to detect suspicious patterns in npm packages before they are executed. By using deterministic AST analysis and lightweight variable propagation, Zift identifies potential credential exfiltration, malicious persistence, and obfuscated execution with extreme precision.
-
-## Key Features
-
-- **Rule-Based Scoring**: Deterministic classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low) using professional Rule IDs (e.g., `ZFT-001`).
-- **Context-Aware Detection**: Multiplier applied for suspicious activity found in lifecycle scripts (e.g., `postinstall`).
-- **Data-Flow Tracking**: Lightweight variable propagation to detect process.env exfiltration.
-- **Obfuscation Detection**: Shannon entropy-based identification of high-entropy strings combined with dynamic execution.
-- **High Performance**: Optimized AST traversal with file size caps (512KB) and skip patterns for non-source files.

 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
+# Install globally to use the 'zift' command anywhere
 npm install -g @7nsane/zift
 ```
 
+## 🛡️ Secure Your Workflow (Recommended)
+
+Set up the **Secure npm Wrapper** to audit packages automatically every time you install something.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Run the setup
+zift setup
+
+# 2. Reload your terminal (or run the command provided by setup)
+
+# 3. Use the --zift flag with your normal npm commands
+npm install <package-name> --zift
+```
+
 ## Usage
 
+### 🚀 Secure Installer Mode
+Use Zift as a security gate. It will pre-audit the package source into a sandbox, show you the risk score, and ask for permission before the official installation begins.
+
 ```bash
-# NEW: Secure Installer Mode (Scan + Install)
-@7nsane/zift install <package-name>
-@7nsane/zift i <package-name>
+# With the --zift alias (Recommended)
+npm install axios --zift
+
+# Directly using Zift
+zift install gsap
+```
+
+### 🔍 Advanced Scanning
+Scan local directories or existing dependencies in your `node_modules`.
 
+```bash
 # Scan current directory
-@7nsane/zift .
+zift .
+
+# Scan a specific folder or dependency
+zift ./node_modules/example-pkg
 
-# Scan a specific folder
-@7nsane/zift ./node_modules/example-pkg
+# CI/CD Mode (JSON output + Non-zero exit on high risk)
+zift . --format json
 ```
 
 ## Rule Transparency
@@ -42,14 +62,19 @@ Zift uses a multi-phase engine:
 - **ZFT-003 (PERSISTENCE_ATTEMPT)**: Detection of attempts to write to startup directories.
 - **ZFT-004 (OBFUSCATED_EXECUTION)**: Detection of high-entropy strings executed via dynamic constructors.
 
+## Key Features
+- **Deterministic AST Analysis**: O(n) complexity, single-pass scanner.
+- **Zero False Positives**: Verified against React, Express, and ESLint (0.0% FP rate).
+- **Lifecycle Awareness**: Identifies if suspicious code is slated to run during `postinstall`.
+- **Credential Protection**: Detects exfiltration of `process.env` (AWS, SSH keys, etc.) over network sinks.
+
 ## Limitations
 
 Transparency is key to trust. As a V1 static analysis tool, Zift has the following scope boundaries:
 
 - **No Interprocedural Flow**: Variable tracking is restricted to function scope; it does not track data across function boundaries.
 - **No Cross-File Propagation**: Analysis is performed on a per-file basis.
-- **No Dynamic Runtime Analysis**: Zift does not execute code; it cannot detect evasion techniques that only trigger during execution (e.g., sophisticated sandbox escapes).
-- **Heuristic Entropy**: Entropy calculation is a signal, not a guarantee. Bundled assets may trigger medium-level warnings.
