-Core router implementation for Real-Router.
+> Simple, powerful, view-agnostic, modular and extensible router for JavaScript applications.
+
+This is the core package of the [Real-Router](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router) monorepo. It provides the router implementation, lifecycle management, navigation pipeline, and tree-shakeable standalone API modules.
 
 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
 npm install @real-router/core
-# or
-pnpm add @real-router/core
-# or
-yarn add @real-router/core
-# or
-bun add @real-router/core
 ```
 
 ## Quick Start
 
 ```typescript
 import { createRouter } from "@real-router/core";
+import { browserPluginFactory } from "@real-router/browser-plugin";
 
 const routes = [
   { name: "home", path: "/" },
-  {
-    name: "users",
-    path: "/users",
-    children: [{ name: "profile", path: "/:id" }],
-  },
+  { name: "users", path: "/users", children: [
+    { name: "profile", path: "/:id" },
+  ]},
 ];
 
 const router = createRouter(routes);
+router.usePlugin(browserPluginFactory());
 
 await router.start("/");
 await router.navigate("users.profile", { id: "123" });
 ```

 ## Router API
 
-The Router class provides core lifecycle, navigation, state, and subscription methods.
-Domain-specific operations (routes, dependencies, guards, plugin infrastructure, cloning) are available through [standalone API functions](#standalone-api) for tree-shaking.
-
-### `createRouter(routes?, options?, dependencies?)`
-
-Creates a new router instance. [Wiki](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/createRouter)
-
-```typescript
-const router = createRouter(routes, options, dependencies);
-```
-
----
-
 ### Lifecycle
 
-#### `router.start(path): Promise<State>`
-
-Starts the router with an initial path. [Wiki](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/start)
-
-#### `router.stop(): this`
-
-Stops the router. Cancels any in-progress transition. [Wiki](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/stop)
-
-#### `router.dispose(): void`
-
-Permanently terminates the router. Cannot be restarted. [Wiki](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/dispose)
-
-#### `router.isActive(): boolean`
-
-Returns whether the router is active. [Wiki](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/isActive)
-

 ## Error Handling
 
-Navigation errors are instances of `RouterError`. See [RouterError](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/RouterError) and [Error Codes](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/error-codes) for details.
-
----
-
-## Observable Support
+Navigation errors are instances of `RouterError` with typed error codes:
 
-> Observable API has been moved to `@real-router/rx` package for zero bundle cost.
-> See [@real-router/rx](../rx/README.md) for reactive stream APIs.
+```typescript
+import { RouterError, errorCodes } from "@real-router/core";
+
+try {
+  await router.navigate("admin");
+} catch (err) {
+  if (err instanceof RouterError) {
+    // err.code: ROUTE_NOT_FOUND | CANNOT_ACTIVATE | CANNOT_DEACTIVATE
+    //           | TRANSITION_CANCELLED | SAME_STATES | DISPOSED | ...
+  }
+}
+```
 
----
+See [RouterError](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/RouterError) and [Error Codes](https://github.com/greydragon888/real-router/wiki/error-codes) for the full reference.
