-## Why AemeathCLI
-
-Most AI coding tools lock you into a single model. AemeathCLI breaks that ceiling:
-
-- **Multi-model orchestration** -- Use the right model for each task. Claude Opus for architecture, GPT-5.2 for implementation, Gemini 2.5 Pro for code review -- in one session.
-- **Agent teams** -- Describe what you need in plain English and the LLM designs the team. Agents spawn in iTerm2/tmux split panes with a hub-and-spoke coordination model -- a leader orchestrates, teammates execute, and results are synthesized through a shared board.
-- **Smart routing** -- Define role-based routing rules. When you switch to "review" mode, the system automatically picks the best model for reviewing code.
-- **Cost-aware** -- Real-time token counting, per-model cost tracking, configurable budget warnings and hard stops. Know exactly what you're spending.
-- **Skills & MCP** -- Extend functionality with YAML-defined skills and Model Context Protocol servers. Your tools, your workflow.
-- **Enterprise-grade** -- OS keychain storage, AES-256-GCM encryption, HMAC-SHA256 IPC auth, sandboxed execution, structured logging, typed error hierarchy.

-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Install globally
-npm install -g aemeathcli
-
-# Authenticate with your providers
-aemeathcli auth login claude
-aemeathcli auth login codex
-aemeathcli auth login gemini
-
-# Start coding
-aemeathcli "Refactor the authentication module to use JWT tokens"
-```
-
-That's it. AemeathCLI detects your project, picks the best model, and starts streaming.
-
-<br />
-
-## Installation
-
-### Requirements
-
-- **Node.js** >= 20.0.0
-- **npm** >= 9 (or pnpm / yarn)
-- **tmux** (optional, for split-panel mode)
-- **iTerm2** (optional, macOS native pane support)
-
-### Install
-
-```bash
-npm install -g aemeathcli
-```
-
-The CLI installs two commands: `aemeathcli` and the shorthand `ac`.
-
-### Verify
-
-```bash
-aemeathcli --version
-# 1.0.0
-```
-
-### First Run
-
-```bash
-aemeathcli config init
-```
-
-This launches an interactive setup wizard that walks you through provider authentication and initial configuration.
-
-<br />
-
-## Authentication
-
-AemeathCLI supports four cloud providers with native OAuth PKCE login:
-
-```bash
-# Browser-based OAuth login (recommended)
-aemeathcli auth login claude        # Anthropic
-aemeathcli auth login codex         # OpenAI
-aemeathcli auth login gemini        # Google
-aemeathcli auth login kimi          # Moonshot
-
-# Or set API keys directly
-aemeathcli auth set-key claude sk-ant-api03-...
-aemeathcli auth set-key codex sk-...
-aemeathcli auth set-key gemini AIza...
-
-# Check status
-aemeathcli auth status
-```
-
-```
-  claude   ● Logged in (user@example.com) — Pro plan
-  codex    ● Logged in (user@example.com) — Plus plan
-  gemini   ● Logged in (user@gmail.com)
-  kimi     ○ Not logged in
-```
-
-Credentials are stored in your **OS keychain** (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, or Linux libsecret). An AES-256-GCM encrypted fallback is used when keychain is unavailable.
-
-```bash
-# Manage sessions
-aemeathcli auth logout codex        # Single provider
-aemeathcli auth logout --all        # All providers
-aemeathcli auth switch claude       # Set default provider
-```
-
-<br />
-
-## Usage
-
-### Interactive Chat
-
-```bash
-# Start interactive session
-aemeathcli 
-
-# Start with a message
-aemeathcli "Explain the architecture of this project"
-
-# Specify model and role
-aemeathcli chat --model gpt-5.2 --role coding "Add input validation to the API"
-
-# With a custom system prompt
-aemeathcli chat --system "You are a security auditor" "Review this codebase"
-```
-
-### Task-Specific Modes
-
-```bash
-# Planning mode — uses Claude Opus by default
-aemeathcli plan "Design a caching layer for the API"
-
-# Code review — analyzes specified files
-aemeathcli review src/auth/ src/api/middleware.ts
-
-# Test generation — uses Haiku/Flash for speed
-aemeathcli test "Generate tests for the recent changes"
-```
-
-### Team Mode
-
-Teams are created through **natural language** in the interactive chat -- no CLI subcommands needed:
-
-```bash
-# Start interactive session
-aemeathcli
-
-# Then describe the team you need:
-> Create a team to refactor the authentication module
-> I need agents to review this PR from security, architecture, and code quality angles
-> Spawn a team to build the new payment feature with planning, coding, and testing
-```
-
-The LLM designs the optimal team (roles, models, agent count) and spawns each agent in its own split pane. On macOS with iTerm2, panes are native terminal splits. On Linux or inside tmux, panes use tmux splits. Stop a team with `/team stop`.

-
-## Supported Models
-
-AemeathCLI ships with 9 models across 5 providers:
-
-| Model | Provider | Context | Output | Input $/M | Output $/M |
-|:------|:---------|--------:|-------:|----------:|-----------:|
-| **claude-opus-4-6** | Anthropic | 200K | 32K | $15.00 | $75.00 |
-| **claude-sonnet-4-6** | Anthropic | 200K | 16K | $3.00 | $15.00 |
-| **claude-haiku-4-5** | Anthropic | 200K | 8K | $0.80 | $4.00 |
-| **gpt-5.2** | OpenAI | 256K | 32K | $2.50 | $10.00 |
-| **gpt-5.2-mini** | OpenAI | 256K | 16K | $0.15 | $0.60 |
-| **o3** | OpenAI | 256K | 100K | $10.00 | $40.00 |
-| **gemini-2.5-pro** | Google | 2M | 64K | $1.25 | $10.00 |
-| **gemini-2.5-flash** | Google | 2M | 64K | $0.15 | $0.60 |
-| **kimi-k2.5** | Moonshot | 128K | 8K | $0.50 | $2.00 |
-
-Local models via **Ollama** (Llama, Mistral, etc.) are also supported with a configurable base URL.
-
-<br />
-
-## Role-Based Model Routing
-
-AemeathCLI automatically selects the best model for each task through a 4-step resolution pipeline:
-
-```
-User Override  →  Role Config  →  Fallback Chain  →  System Default
-```
-
-### Default Role Assignments
-
-| Role | Primary Model | Fallback Chain |
-|:-----|:--------------|:---------------|
-| **Planning** | Claude Opus 4.6 | GPT-5.2 &rarr; Gemini 2.5 Pro |
-| **Coding** | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | GPT-5.2 &rarr; Gemini 2.5 Flash |
-| **Review** | Claude Opus 4.6 | Gemini 2.5 Pro |
-| **Testing** | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Gemini 2.5 Flash |
-| **Bugfix** | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | GPT-5.2 |
-| **Documentation** | Gemini 2.5 Flash | Claude Haiku 4.5 |
-
-Override at any time:
-
-```bash
-# Session-level override
-aemeathcli chat --model gpt-5.2 --role planning
-
-# Or interactively
-/model gemini-2.5-pro
-/role review
-```
-
-Customize routing in `~/.aemeathcli/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "roles": {
-    "coding": {
-      "primary": "gpt-5.2",
-      "fallback": ["claude-sonnet-4-6", "gemini-2.5-flash"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-<br />
-
-## Agent Teams
-
-Create parallel agent teams through natural language. The LLM designs the team, split panes launch automatically, and agents coordinate via a hub-and-spoke model.
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **Natural language creation** -- Describe the team you need ("Create a team to review the codebase"). No CLI subcommands or JSON config needed.
-2. **LLM-driven design** -- The active model decides the optimal team: agent count, names, roles, models, and task prompts -- all tailored to your request.
-3. **Split-panel mode** -- Each agent gets its own terminal pane (iTerm2 native splits on macOS, tmux splits on Linux/inside tmux).
-4. **Hub-and-spoke coordination** -- A lead agent orchestrates the effort. All agents share a board directory where they write outputs, read each other's work, and the lead synthesizes a final summary.
-5. **Cross-model teams** -- The LLM assigns different providers per agent: Claude Opus for planning, GPT Codex for coding, Gemini Pro for research -- all in one team.
-
-### Split-Panel Backends
-
-| Environment | Backend | How |
-|:------------|:--------|:----|
-| **macOS + iTerm2** | Native iTerm2 panes | AppleScript creates vertical/horizontal splits directly in your iTerm2 window |
-| **Inside tmux** | tmux splits | Auto-splits the current tmux window for each agent |
-| **Outside tmux (Linux)** | tmux session | Creates a new tmux session and attaches |
-| **No pane manager** | Single-pane fallback | Tab-based agent switching within the TUI |
-
-### Hub-and-Spoke Coordination
-
-Following the patterns established by Claude Code Agent Teams and OpenAI Codex Multi-Agent:
-
-```
-                  ┌─────────────────────┐
-                  │     Shared Board    │
-                  │  /tmp/aemeathcli-*/ │
-                  │    board/           │
-                  └──┬──────┬──────┬───┘
-                     │      │      │
-              ┌──────┘      │      └──────┐
-              │             │             │
-        ┌─────┴─────┐ ┌────┴────┐ ┌──────┴─────┐
-        │   Lead    │ │ Agent 2 │ │  Agent 3   │
-        │ Writes:   │ │ Writes: │ │ Writes:    │
-        │ coord.md  │ │ own .md │ │ own .md    │
-        │ SUMMARY.md│ │         │ │            │
-        └───────────┘ └─────────┘ └────────────┘
-```
-
-- **Team manifest** (`team-manifest.json`) -- Full team structure visible to every agent: names, roles, models, output file paths
-- **Lead agent writes** `coordinator.md` with the task breakdown and assignments, then reads all agent outputs to produce `SUMMARY.md`
-- **Non-lead agents** check the coordinator plan, do their bounded work, and write results to their output file
-- **File-based protocol** -- No complex IPC needed for coordination. Agents read/write markdown files in the shared board directory.
-
-### Cross-Model Teams
-
-Each agent runs a different model selected by the LLM based on role suitability:
-
-```json
-[
-  { "name": "AuthArchitect", "model": "claude-opus-4-6", "role": "planning" },
-  { "name": "BackendDev", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6", "role": "coding" },
-  { "name": "SecurityReviewer", "model": "gpt-5.2-codex", "role": "review" },
-  { "name": "TestWriter", "model": "gemini-2.5-flash", "role": "testing" }
-]
-```
-
-### Team Controls
-
-| Action | How |
-|:-------|:----|
-| Create team | Natural language in chat: "Create a team to build X" |
-| View agents | Each agent has its own pane -- click or switch panes |
-| Stop team | `/team stop` in the leader pane |
-
-<br />
-

-
-## MCP Integration
-
-Connect external tools via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io):
-
-```json
-// ~/.aemeathcli/mcp.json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "filesystem": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./"],
-      "env": {}
-    },
-    "postgres": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres"],
-      "env": {
-        "DATABASE_URL": "${DATABASE_URL}"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Features:
-

-## Security
-
-AemeathCLI is built with defense-in-depth:
-
-- **Credential storage** -- OS keychain primary (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, Linux libsecret). AES-256-GCM encrypted file fallback with scrypt key derivation (N=32768, r=8, p=1) and per-file random salt.
-- **IPC authentication** -- HMAC-SHA256 message signing for all inter-agent communication over Unix domain sockets. Socket permissions set to `0o700`.
-- **Shell sandboxing** -- Dangerous command blocklist, sensitive environment variable filtering, configurable permission modes with per-operation approval.
-- **Path traversal protection** -- All file operations validate resolved paths against the project root boundary.
-- **SSRF protection** -- Web fetch blocks private IP ranges (RFC 1918, loopback, link-local, cloud metadata).
-- **Secret redaction** -- pino structured logging with 15+ credential field paths redacted. Regex-based secret scrubbing for API keys in command output.
-- **File permissions** -- All sensitive files written with `0o600`, directories with `0o700`.
-- **Typed error hierarchy** -- 14 error classes with codes, user messages, diagnostic details, and recovery suggestions. No untyped `catch(e)` anywhere.
-
-<br />
-

-
-### Project Conventions
-
-- **Interfaces** use `I` prefix: `IModelInfo`, `IChatMessage`, `IToolResult`
-- **Error classes** extend `AemeathError` with structured error codes
-- **Type imports** use `import type { ... }` consistently
-- **No `any`** -- enforced by ESLint `no-explicit-any` + `no-unsafe-*` rules
-- **All `catch` blocks** use `catch (error: unknown)` or bare `catch {}`
-- **Barrel exports** via `index.ts` in each module

+
+## Why AemeathCLI
+
+Most AI coding tools lock you into a single model. AemeathCLI breaks that ceiling:
+
+- **Multi-model orchestration** -- Use the right model for each task. Claude Opus for architecture, GPT-5.2 for implementation, Gemini 2.5 Pro for code review -- in one session.
+- **Agent teams** -- Describe what you need in plain English and the LLM designs the team. Agents can run under the orchestrator with tmux-backed visual panes when enabled, while a leader orchestrates, teammates execute, and results are synthesized through a shared board.
+- **Smart routing** -- Define role-based routing rules. When you switch to "review" mode, the system automatically picks the best model for reviewing code.
+- **Cost-aware** -- Real-time token counting, per-model cost tracking, configurable budget warnings and hard stops. Know exactly what you're spending.
+- **Skills & MCP** -- Extend functionality with YAML-defined skills and Model Context Protocol servers. Your tools, your workflow.
+- **Enterprise-grade** -- OS keychain storage, AES-256-GCM encryption, HMAC-SHA256 IPC auth, sandboxed execution, structured logging, typed error hierarchy.
+
+<br />
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install globally
+npm install -g aemeathcli
+
+# Authenticate with your providers
+aemeathcli login
+
+# For orchestrator mode, also configure API keys
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
+
+# Start coding
+aemeathcli "Refactor the authentication module to use JWT tokens"
+```
+
+That's it. AemeathCLI detects your project, picks the best model, and starts streaming.
+
+<br />
+
+## Installation
+
+### Requirements
+
+- **Node.js** >= 20.0.0
+- **npm** >= 9 (or pnpm / yarn)
+- **tmux** (optional, for external split-panel swarm panes)
+- Native build tools for Node modules such as `node-pty` and `better-sqlite3`
+  - macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
+  - Linux: Python, make, and a C/C++ compiler
+  - Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools or an equivalent MSVC toolchain
+
+### Install
+
+```bash
+npm install -g aemeathcli
+```
+
+The CLI installs two commands: `aemeathcli` and the shorthand `ac`.
+
+### Verify
+
+```bash
+aemeathcli --version
+# 1.0.10
+```
+
+### First Run
+
+```bash
+aemeathcli config init
+```
+
+This launches an interactive setup wizard that walks you through provider authentication, detects installed agent CLIs, and lets you choose the master provider used for swarm orchestration. SDK-backed swarm features still need `aemeathcli auth set-key <provider>` or matching environment variables when browser login is not enough.
+
+<br />
+
+## Authentication
+
+AemeathCLI supports four cloud providers with native OAuth PKCE login:
+
+```bash
+# Browser-based OAuth login (recommended)
+aemeathcli auth login claude        # Anthropic
+aemeathcli auth login codex         # OpenAI
+aemeathcli auth login gemini        # Google
+aemeathcli auth login kimi          # Moonshot
+
+# Or set API keys directly
+aemeathcli auth set-key claude sk-ant-api03-...
+aemeathcli auth set-key codex sk-...
+aemeathcli auth set-key gemini AIza...
+
+# Check status
+aemeathcli auth status
+```
+
+```
+  claude   ● Logged in (user@example.com) — Pro plan
+  codex    ● Logged in (user@example.com) — Plus plan
+  gemini   ● Logged in (user@gmail.com)
+  kimi     ○ Not logged in
+```
+
+Credentials are stored in your **OS keychain** (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, or Linux libsecret). An AES-256-GCM encrypted fallback is used when keychain is unavailable.
+
+```bash
+# Manage sessions
+aemeathcli auth logout codex        # Single provider
+aemeathcli auth logout --all        # All providers
+aemeathcli auth switch claude       # Set default provider
+```
+
+<br />
+
+## Usage
+
+### Interactive Chat
+
+```bash
+# Start interactive session
+aemeathcli 
+
+# Start with a message
+aemeathcli "Explain the architecture of this project"
+
+# Specify model and role
+aemeathcli chat --model gpt-5.2 --role coding "Add input validation to the API"
+
+# With a custom system prompt
+aemeathcli chat --system "You are a security auditor" "Review this codebase"
+```
+
+### Task-Specific Modes
+
+```bash
+# Planning mode — uses Claude Opus by default
+aemeathcli plan "Design a caching layer for the API"
+
+# Code review — analyzes specified files
+aemeathcli review src/auth/ src/api/middleware.ts
+
+# Test generation — uses Haiku/Flash for speed
+aemeathcli test "Generate tests for the recent changes"
+```
+
+### Swarm Mode
+
+Swarm orchestration now lives inside the default TUI:
+
+```bash
+# Start the CLI
+aemeathcli
+
+# Or start with a first task
+aemeathcli "Refactor the authentication module"
+```
+
+Inside the TUI:
+
+- Press `Shift+Tab` to switch into swarm mode.
+- The onboarding flow detects supported native agent CLIs and stores your preferred master provider.
+- The master agent owns the left half of the split layout; worker agents stack on the right.
+- When tmux or iTerm2 is available, AemeathCLI can project the swarm into native panes while keeping the same hub-and-spoke model.
+
+SDK-backed swarm planning still needs a tool-calling-capable provider, so browser login alone may not be enough; configure an API key or environment variable for the provider you want to sponsor the swarm.
+
+```

+
+<br />
+
+## Supported Models
+
+AemeathCLI ships with 9 models across 5 providers:
+
+| Model | Provider | Context | Output | Input $/M | Output $/M |
+|:------|:---------|--------:|-------:|----------:|-----------:|
+| **claude-opus-4-6** | Anthropic | 200K | 32K | $15.00 | $75.00 |
+| **claude-sonnet-4-6** | Anthropic | 200K | 16K | $3.00 | $15.00 |
+| **claude-haiku-4-5** | Anthropic | 200K | 8K | $0.80 | $4.00 |
+| **gpt-5.2** | OpenAI | 256K | 32K | $2.50 | $10.00 |
+| **gpt-5.2-mini** | OpenAI | 256K | 16K | $0.15 | $0.60 |
+| **o3** | OpenAI | 256K | 100K | $10.00 | $40.00 |
+| **gemini-2.5-pro** | Google | 2M | 64K | $1.25 | $10.00 |
+| **gemini-2.5-flash** | Google | 2M | 64K | $0.15 | $0.60 |
+| **kimi-k2.5** | Moonshot | 128K | 8K | $0.50 | $2.00 |
+
+Local models via **Ollama** (Llama, Mistral, etc.) are also supported with a configurable base URL.
+
+<br />
+
+## Role-Based Model Routing
+
+AemeathCLI automatically selects the best model for each task through a 4-step resolution pipeline:
+
+```
+User Override  →  Role Config  →  Fallback Chain  →  System Default
+```
+
+### Default Role Assignments
+
+| Role | Primary Model | Fallback Chain |
+|:-----|:--------------|:---------------|
+| **Planning** | Claude Opus 4.6 | GPT-5.2 &rarr; Gemini 2.5 Pro |
+| **Coding** | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | GPT-5.2 &rarr; Gemini 2.5 Flash |
+| **Review** | Claude Opus 4.6 | Gemini 2.5 Pro |
+| **Testing** | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Gemini 2.5 Flash |
+| **Bugfix** | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | GPT-5.2 |
+| **Documentation** | Gemini 2.5 Flash | Claude Haiku 4.5 |
+
+Override at any time:
+
+```bash
+# Session-level override
+aemeathcli chat --model gpt-5.2 --role planning
+
+# Or interactively
+/model gemini-2.5-pro
+/role review
+```
+
+Customize routing in `~/.aemeathcli/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "roles": {
+    "coding": {
+      "primary": "gpt-5.2",
+      "fallback": ["claude-sonnet-4-6", "gemini-2.5-flash"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+<br />
+
+## Agent Teams
+
+Create parallel agent teams through the default swarm experience. The master agent sponsors specialized workers, optional tmux panes open when enabled, and every team follows a hub-and-spoke model.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Master-led orchestration** -- Start `aemeathcli`, press `Shift+Tab`, and describe the task. The configured master agent decomposes the work.
+2. **Profile-driven delegation** -- The supervisor chooses specialized worker profiles such as `developer`, `reviewer`, `tester`, and `architect`.
+3. **Split-panel mode** -- Each worker can get its own terminal pane (tmux today; interactive chat still supports natural-language team creation flows).
+4. **Hub-and-spoke coordination** -- A lead agent orchestrates the effort. Workers execute bounded tasks and results are synthesized by the supervisor.
+5. **Cross-model teams** -- Different providers can be assigned per worker: Claude for planning, Codex for coding, Gemini for documentation and testing.
+
+### Split-Panel Backends
+
+| Environment | Backend | How |
+|:------------|:--------|:----|
+| **macOS / Linux with tmux** | tmux panes | Creates or reuses a tmux session for each worker pane |
+| **No tmux available** | Single-pane mode | Orchestrator still runs without the visual overlay |
+
+### Hub-and-Spoke Coordination
+
+Following the patterns established by Claude Code Agent Teams and OpenAI Codex Multi-Agent:
+
+```
+                  ┌─────────────────────┐
+                  │     Shared Board    │
+                  │  /tmp/aemeathcli-*/ │
+                  │    board/           │
+                  └──┬──────┬──────┬───┘
+                     │      │      │
+              ┌──────┘      │      └──────┐
+              │             │             │
+        ┌─────┴─────┐ ┌────┴────┐ ┌──────┴─────┐
+        │   Lead    │ │ Agent 2 │ │  Agent 3   │

+        │ coord.md  │ │ own .md │ │ own .md    │
+        │ SUMMARY.md│ │         │ │            │
+        └───────────┘ └─────────┘ └────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Team manifest** (`team-manifest.json`) -- Full team structure visible to every agent: names, roles, models, output file paths
+- **Lead agent writes** `coordinator.md` with the task breakdown and assignments, then reads all agent outputs to produce `SUMMARY.md`
+- **Non-lead agents** check the coordinator plan, do their bounded work, and write results to their output file
+- **File-based protocol** -- No complex IPC needed for coordination. Agents read/write markdown files in the shared board directory.
+
+### Cross-Model Teams
+
+Each agent runs a different model selected by the LLM based on role suitability:
+
+```json
+[
+  { "name": "AuthArchitect", "model": "claude-opus-4-6", "role": "planning" },
+  { "name": "BackendDev", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6", "role": "coding" },
+  { "name": "SecurityReviewer", "model": "gpt-5.2-codex", "role": "review" },
+  { "name": "TestWriter", "model": "gemini-2.5-flash", "role": "testing" }
+]
+```
+
+### Team Controls
+
+| Action | How |
+|:-------|:----|
+| Enter swarm mode | Start `aemeathcli` and press `Shift+Tab` |
+| Run one task | `aemeathcli "Build X"` then switch to swarm mode if needed |
+| Focus next agent | `Tab` |
+| Cycle input mode | `Shift+Tab` |
+| Stop the active team | `/team stop` |
+
+<br />
+
+## Skills System
+
+Extend AemeathCLI with reusable, model-agnostic skill files.
+
+### Built-in Skills

+Instructions for the AI when this skill is active...
+```
+
+**Skill resolution priority:** Project (`.aemeathcli/skills/`) > User (`~/.aemeathcli/skills/`) > Built-in
+
+<br />
+
+## MCP Integration
+
+Connect external tools via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io):
+
+```json
+// ~/.aemeathcli/mcp.json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./"],
+      "env": {}
+    },
+    "postgres": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres"],
+      "env": {
+        "DATABASE_URL": "${DATABASE_URL}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Features:
+
+- **stdio + Streamable HTTP** transport
+- **Automatic tool discovery** -- MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools
+- **Namespaced** -- `mcp__serverName__toolName` prevents conflicts
+- **Rate-limited** -- Configurable per-server call limits
+- **Health-checked** -- Auto-restart on consecutive failures
+- **Hot-reload** -- File watching with live config updates
+
+<br />

+## Security
+
+AemeathCLI is built with defense-in-depth:
+
+- **Credential storage** -- OS keychain primary (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Vault, Linux libsecret). AES-256-GCM encrypted file fallback with scrypt key derivation (N=32768, r=8, p=1) and per-file random salt.
+- **IPC authentication** -- HMAC-SHA256 message signing for all inter-agent communication over Unix domain sockets. Socket permissions set to `0o700`.
+- **Shell sandboxing** -- Dangerous command blocklist, sensitive environment variable filtering, configurable permission modes with per-operation approval.
+- **Path traversal protection** -- All file operations validate resolved paths against the project root boundary.
+- **SSRF protection** -- Web fetch blocks private IP ranges (RFC 1918, loopback, link-local, cloud metadata).
+- **Secret redaction** -- pino structured logging with 15+ credential field paths redacted. Regex-based secret scrubbing for API keys in command output.
+- **File permissions** -- All sensitive files written with `0o600`, directories with `0o700`.
+- **Typed error hierarchy** -- 14 error classes with codes, user messages, diagnostic details, and recovery suggestions. No untyped `catch(e)` anywhere.
+
+<br />
+

+### Project Conventions
+
+- **Interfaces** use `I` prefix: `IModelInfo`, `IChatMessage`, `IToolResult`
+- **Error classes** extend `AemeathError` with structured error codes
+- **Type imports** use `import type { ... }` consistently
+- **No `any`** -- enforced by ESLint `no-explicit-any` + `no-unsafe-*` rules
+- **All `catch` blocks** use `catch (error: unknown)` or bare `catch {}`
