-## Dashboard
+## Focus: The Inner Developer Loop
 
-```bash
-vibe-check dashboard
-```
+vibe-check focuses on detecting the **4 Inner Loop Disasters** — the immediate, developer-facing failures that happen during a coding session:
 
-Opens the dashboard above in your browser. Features:
-- 📊 Score trend charts with 7/30/90 day views
-- 🎯 AI-generated insights about your coding patterns
-- 🏆 Achievement tracking (19 achievements, 2 hidden)
-- 📈 Session history and ratings distribution
-- 🌙 GitHub dark theme
+| Pattern | What Goes Wrong | How vibe-check Detects It |
+|---------|-----------------|---------------------------|
+| **"Tests Passing" Lie** | AI claims "fixed" but code doesn't work | Commits claiming success followed by immediate fixes |
+| **Context Amnesia** | AI forgets instructions from 5 minutes ago | Reverts, reimplementations, repeated similar fixes |
+| **Instruction Drift** | AI "improves" things you didn't ask for | Unrequested refactors, scope explosion |
+| **Debug Loop Spiral** | AI adds logging instead of fixing root cause | 3+ consecutive debugging commits |
+
+These are the patterns you can catch and fix **right now**, in your current session.

-## Install
+## The Problem
 
-```bash
-npm install -g @boshu2/vibe-check
-```
+> "AI can destroy months of work in minutes." — Gene Kim & Steve Yegge
+
+AI-assisted coding creates a new failure mode: **the debug spiral**.
+
+You ask AI for a fix. It breaks something else. You ask for another fix. It breaks more. Three commits later, you've lost 30 minutes and made negative progress.
+
+**vibe-check detects these spirals by analyzing your git history.**
+
+---
 
 ## Quick Start
 
 ```bash
 # Analyze recent work
-vibe-check --since "1 week ago"
+npx @boshu2/vibe-check --since "1 week ago"
 
 # Real-time spiral detection
-vibe-check watch
+npx @boshu2/vibe-check watch
 
 # Visual dashboard
-vibe-check dashboard
-
-# View your profile & achievements
-vibe-check profile
+npx @boshu2/vibe-check dashboard
 ```

-## Watch Mode
+## What It Measures
 
-Catch spirals **as they happen**, not after:
+| Metric | Question | Target |
+|--------|----------|--------|
+| **Trust Pass Rate** | Does the code stick? | >95% |
+| **Rework Ratio** | Building or debugging? | <30% |
+| **Debug Spirals** | Are you stuck? | 0 active |

+
+## The 12 Failure Patterns
+
+*Vibe Coding* identifies 12 failure modes across three developer loops. vibe-check focuses on the **inner loop** (where spirals form) while providing awareness of all 12.
+
+### Inner Loop (Minutes) — **Primary Focus**
+
+| # | Pattern | Severity | vibe-check Detection |
+|---|---------|----------|----------------------|
+| 1 | **Tests Passing Lie** | 🔴 HIGH | Trust pass rate drops, fix commits follow "working" code |
+| 2 | **Context Amnesia** | 🟡 MEDIUM | Repeated fixes on same component, circular patterns |
+| 3 | **Instruction Drift** | 🟡 MEDIUM | Scope creep visible in commit message patterns |
+| 4 | **Debug Loop Spiral** | 🔴 HIGH | ✅ **Core detection**: 3+ fix commits on same component |
+
+### Middle Loop (Hours-Days) — *Monitored*
+
+| # | Pattern | Severity | vibe-check Detection |
+|---|---------|----------|----------------------|
+| 5 | **Eldritch Code Horror** | 🔴 CRITICAL | High file churn, repeated touches to same files |
+| 6 | **Workspace Collision** | 🔴 HIGH | — (multi-agent, future) |
+| 7 | **Memory Decay** | 🟡 MEDIUM | Session baseline comparison shows degradation |
+| 8 | **Multi-Agent Deadlock** | 🔴 HIGH | — (multi-agent, future) |
+
+### Outer Loop (Weeks-Months) — *Awareness*
+
+| # | Pattern | Severity | vibe-check Detection |
+|---|---------|----------|----------------------|
+| 9 | **Bridge Torching** | 🔴 CRITICAL | — (API tracking, future) |
+| 10 | **Repository Deletion** | 🔴 CRITICAL | — (git safety, future) |
+| 11 | **Process Gridlock** | 🔴 HIGH | — (CI/CD analysis, future) |
+| 12 | **Stewnami** | 🔴 HIGH | — (cross-repo, future) |
+
+> **Inner loop mastery prevents middle/outer loop disasters.** Catch the spiral at 3 commits, not 30.
+

+vibe-check measures **human-AI collaboration sessions**—the inner loop where you're working with an AI assistant.
+
+For **autonomous agents** that run without a human in the loop, see [12-Factor AgentOps](https://12factoragentops.com)—DevOps and SRE patterns adapted for AI systems.
