-# @convesoft/mara
+# Mara
 
-Reserved for the Mara CLI release workflow. This version contains no executable.
+Mara keeps project knowledge in readable Markdown while giving requirements,
+designs, decisions, and other durable facts stable identities, types, relations,
+validation, and deterministic retrieval. The same operations are available as
+a CLI and a stdio MCP server.
+
+Mara is currently pre-release software. The supported alpha hosts are x64 and
+arm64 macOS, plus x64 and arm64 Linux compatible with Ubuntu 22.04's glibc
+baseline.
+
+## Run with npx
+
+Pin the exact version so an MCP restart cannot silently change behavior:
+
+```bash
+npx -y @convesoft/mara@0.1.0-alpha.0 --version
+npx -y @convesoft/mara@0.1.0-alpha.0 project init ./example
+npx -y @convesoft/mara@0.1.0-alpha.0 --project ./example project validate
+```
+
+The npm packages contain prebuilt native binaries and use no install scripts.
+A Rust toolchain is not required.
+
+## Configure an MCP client
+
+For a client that starts stdio servers in the project directory:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.mara]
+command = "npx"
+args = ["-y", "@convesoft/mara@0.1.0-alpha.0", "mcp"]
+```
+
+To bind the server to one project regardless of its execution directory, place
+`--project` after `mcp`:
+
+```toml
+[mcp_servers.mara]
+command = "npx"
+args = [
+  "-y",
+  "@convesoft/mara@0.1.0-alpha.0",
+  "mcp",
+  "--project",
+  "/absolute/path/to/project",
+]
+```
+
+Without `--project`, the server can start anywhere. Project-bound tools accept
+an absolute `project` path or discover the nearest parent containing
+`.mara/project.toml` from the server's execution directory.
+
+## Agent Plugin package
+
+The main npm package also contains a portable Agent Plugins 1.0 manifest, a
+Mara skill, and stdio MCP configuration. Compatible clients can install that
+package through their supported plugin distribution flow. Codex is the
+reference client; the portable package does not modify project `AGENTS.md`.
+
+Starting with `0.1.0-alpha.1`, a user without an existing Mara installation can
+install the complete package from the Convesoft Codex marketplace:
+
+```bash
+codex plugin marketplace add convesoft/mara
+codex plugin add mara@convesoft
+```
+
+Start a new Codex session after installation. Codex keeps an installed plugin
+snapshot in its managed cache. On first MCP start, its launcher uses `npx` to
+install and run that snapshot's exact Mara version with the matching native
+package in npm's cache.
+
+If Mara and its MCP server are already configured, install only the skill and
+keep using that existing executable:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add convesoft/mara --skill mara -g -a codex
+```
+
+For a new MCP registration backed by an existing installation, use the
+executable's absolute path:
+
+```bash
+codex mcp add mara -- /absolute/path/to/mara mcp
+```
+
+Use either the complete plugin or the existing-installation route. Do not add
+the complete plugin alongside an equivalent manually configured Mara MCP
+server.
+
+## Core workflow
+
+```bash
+mara project init
+mara schema get
+mara item create requirement REQ-EXAMPLE docs/example.mara.md \
+  --title "State one verifiable obligation" \
+  --body "The project must demonstrate its primary workflow."
+mara project validate
+mara item search "primary workflow"
+mara item get REQ-EXAMPLE
+```
+
+Run `mara --help` or `mara <object> <operation> --help` for the complete command
+surface. The canonical alpha behavior is documented in
+[`docs/alpha.mara.md`](docs/alpha.mara.md); distribution and release guarantees
+are in [`docs/distribution.mara.md`](docs/distribution.mara.md).
+
+## Development
+
+The repository pins its Rust toolchain. From a checkout:
+
+```bash
+cargo test --locked --all-targets
+cargo clippy --locked --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
+cargo run -- --format json project validate
+```
+
+See [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md), [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md), and
+[`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md).

+
+# Mara project knowledge
+
+Use the Mara MCP tools as the structured interface to a project's canonical
+`*.mara.md` knowledge.
+
+## Select the project
+
+- Resolve the intended project root to an absolute path.
+- Pass that path as `project` on every project-bound tool call unless the MCP
+  server was explicitly started with `mara mcp --project PATH`.
+- If `project` is omitted, Mara discovers the nearest project from the MCP
+  server's execution directory.
+- Treat each operation as scoped to one project. Do not infer workspace or
+  cross-project behavior.
+
+If the intended root has no `.mara/project.toml` and the user wants to start a
+Mara project, call `project_init` with the absolute root, or omit `project` when
+the MCP server was started with that root bound by `--project`. Use the default
+`minimal` template unless the user explicitly requests `empty`. Do not create
+or modify `AGENTS.md` as part of Mara onboarding.
+
+## Work with the corpus
+
+1. Call `schema_get` before authoring unfamiliar flavours, fields, or relations.
+2. Use `item_search`, `item_list`, and `item_related` for bounded discovery;
