-## 🌟 Why NanoPencil?
-
-> **"The only AI coding assistant that truly learns from you"**
-
-NanoPencil isn't just another AI coding tool. It's a **terminal-native AI agent** with **persistent memory** and **evolving personality** — designed for developers who live in the terminal.
-
-### What Makes It Different?
-
-| | Other Tools | NanoPencil |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Memory** | ❌ Starts fresh every session | ✅ Remembers your projects, preferences, and coding style |
-| **Personality** | ❌ Generic responses | ✅ Evolves a unique personality based on your interactions |
-| **Terminal Native** | ❌ GUI wrappers or plugins | ✅ Pure TUI built for terminal workflows |
-| **Model Freedom** | ❌ Vendor lock-in | ✅ 10+ providers, switch instantly |
-| **Offline Ready** | ❌ Cloud dependent | ✅ Local models via Ollama |
-

-
-## ✨ Features
-
-### 🧠 Persistent Memory (NanoMem)
-Your projects have context. So should your AI.
-
-- **Project Knowledge** — API endpoints, database schemas, architecture decisions
-- **Error Patterns** — Remembers bugs and their solutions  
-- **User Preferences** — Coding style, naming conventions, framework choices
-- **Smart Retrieval** — Automatically recalls relevant context when needed
-
-### 💫 AI Personality Evolution (NanoSoul)
-Your AI assistant develops its own character.
-
-- **Big Five Traits** — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism
-- **Coding Style** — Verbosity, abstraction level, safety margins
-- **Domain Expertise** — Frontend, Backend, DevOps, AI/ML specializations
-- **Emotional States** — Confidence, curiosity, flow state
-
-> *After 50 sessions, your NanoPencil will code differently than anyone else's.*
-
-### 🎨 Beautiful TUI
-A terminal interface that feels alive.
-
-- **Three Themes** — Dark, Light, and Warm (eye-friendly)
-- **Smooth Animations** — Breathing pencil loader
-- **Intuitive Navigation** — Vim-like keybindings, fuzzy search
-- **Real-time Streaming** — Watch the AI think in real-time
-
-### 🔌 MCP Protocol Support
-Extend with the Model Context Protocol.
-
-Built-in tools include:
-- 📁 Filesystem operations
-- 🌐 HTTP requests (Fetch)
-- 🎭 Browser automation (Puppeteer)
-- 🗄️ Database queries (SQLite)
-- 🔧 Git operations
-
-### 🌐 Multi-Model Support
-Use the best model for each task.
-
-- 🇨🇳 **Alibaba DashScope** — Qwen series (optimized for coding)
-- 🤖 **OpenAI** — GPT-4, GPT-3.5
-- 💬 **Anthropic** — Claude 3 Opus/Sonnet/Haiku
-- 🔍 **Google** — Gemini Pro/Ultra
-- 🏠 **Local** — Ollama (Qwen, Llama, Mistral, etc.)

-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### Installation
-
-```bash
-# npm
-npm install -g @pencil-agent/nano-pencil
-
-# pnpm (recommended)
-pnpm add -g @pencil-agent/nano-pencil
-
-# yarn
-yarn global add @pencil-agent/nano-pencil
-```
-
-### First Run
-
-```bash
-nanopencil
-```
-
-1. **Select your model** — Choose from available providers
-2. **Enter API key** — Securely stored in `~/.nanopencil/agent/auth.json`
-3. **Start coding** — Just type what you want to build
-
-### Example Session
-
-```
-You: Create a JWT authentication middleware for Express
-
-AI: [Analyzing project structure...]
-    [Creating auth.middleware.ts...]
-    [Adding TypeScript types...]
-    [Writing tests...]
-    
-    ✅ Done! Created:
-    - src/middleware/auth.middleware.ts
-    - src/types/auth.d.ts
-    - tests/auth.middleware.test.ts
-    
-    Features:
-    • JWT verification with RS256
-    • Refresh token rotation
-    • Role-based access control
-    • Rate limiting integration
-```

-
-## 🎮 Usage
-
-### Interactive Mode
-
-```bash
-nanopencil                    # Start new session
-nanopencil -c                 # Continue last session
-nanopencil -r                 # Resume from history
-nanopencil -m qwen-max        # Use specific model
-```
-
-### Print Mode (Scripts)
-
-```bash
-# Single query
-nanopencil -p "Refactor this to use async/await"
-
-# Pipe input
-cat bug-report.md | nanopencil -p "Analyze this bug"
-
-# Chain commands
-nanopencil -p "Generate API" | nanopencil -p "Write tests for it"
-```
-
-### Slash Commands

-## 🏗️ Architecture Philosophy
-
-NanoPencil is built on three pillars:
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│           🧠 COGNITIVE LAYER            │
-│    (Memory + Personality + Context)     │
-├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
-│           🔧 TOOL LAYER                 │
-│  (File Ops + Bash + Search + MCP)       │
-├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
-│           🎨 INTERFACE LAYER            │
-│       (TUI + Themes + Keybindings)      │
-└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Design Principles:**
-- **Terminal First** — No Electron, no browser, pure terminal
-- **Privacy First** — Local storage, no telemetry, your data stays yours
-- **Extensible** — Plugin system for tools, themes, and behaviors
-- **Fast** — Sub-second startup, instant response
