+## Why this exists
 
-## Why
+Agents move fast. Your memory of what happened doesn’t.
 
-AI agents are powerful. They write code, send emails, manage infrastructure, make decisions on your behalf. But when you need to know *what happened* — what was changed, when, and why — you're digging through scattered logs or asking the agent to remember (it won't).
+When you need to answer “what changed, when, and why,” you’re usually scraping logs, scrolling transcripts, or asking the same assistant that forgot 20 minutes ago.
 
-AgentActa gives you a single, searchable view of everything.
+AgentActa gives you one place to inspect the full trail.

+## Core features
 
 ### Search
-Full-text search powered by SQLite FTS5. Filter by message type (messages, tool calls, results) and role (user, assistant). Quick search suggestions are generated from your actual data — most-used tools, common topics, frequently touched files.
+
+SQLite FTS5 full-text search with filters for message type (messages, tool calls, results) and role (user, assistant).
+
+Suggestions come from your own dataset: top tools, common topics, frequently touched files.
 
 ### Sessions
-Browse all indexed sessions with auto-generated summaries, token breakdowns (output vs input), and model info. Sessions are automatically tagged by type — cron jobs, sub-agent tasks, and heartbeat sessions get distinct badges. Click into any session to see the full event history, most recent first.

+Browse indexed sessions with auto-generated summaries, token splits (input/output), and model details. Click into any session to see the full event history.
+
+Session types get tagged so noisy categories are easier to spot (cron, sub-agent, heartbeat).
 
 ### Timeline
-Pick a date, see everything that happened. Messages, tool invocations, file changes — most recent first.
+
+Pick a date, see everything that happened, newest first. Today's view updates live as new events come in.
 
 ### File Activity
-See every file your agent read, wrote, or edited. Sort by most touched, most recent, or most sessions. Filter by extension, group by directory. Click any file to see which sessions touched it and what was done.
+
+See what files were touched, how often, and by which sessions.
+
+Sort by recency, frequency, or session count. Filter by extension. Group by directory. Click any file to see which sessions touched it.
 
 ### Export
-Download any session or search results as Markdown or JSON. Great for sharing, auditing, or archiving.
 
-## How It Works
+Export sessions or search results as Markdown or JSON.
 
-AgentActa reads JSONL session files (including OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Codex CLI formats), parses every message and tool call, and indexes them into a local SQLite database with FTS5 full-text search.
+Useful for handoffs, incident writeups, and audit archives.
 
-The web UI is a single-page app served by a lightweight Node.js HTTP server. No frameworks, no build step, no external dependencies beyond `better-sqlite3`.
+## How it works
 
-```
-Session JSONL files → SQLite + FTS5 index → HTTP API → Web UI
+AgentActa parses JSONL session files (OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex CLI), then indexes events into local SQLite with FTS5.
+
+The UI is a single-page app served by a lightweight Node HTTP server.
+
+No framework build pipeline. Minimal moving parts.

-### Storage Modes
+### Storage modes
 
-- **`reference`** (default) — Lightweight index. Stores parsed events in SQLite but not the raw JSONL. Source files must remain on disk.
-- **`archive`** — Full JSONL stored in SQLite. Sessions survive even if the original files are deleted. Uses more disk space.

-### Agent Integration
-
-Your AI agent can query AgentActa for better recall:
+Agent integration example:
 
 ```javascript
-const results = await fetch('http://localhost:4003/api/search?q=deployment+issue&limit=5');
-const data = await results.json();
-// Agent now has context from past sessions
+const res = await fetch('http://localhost:4003/api/search?q=deployment+issue&limit=5');
+const data = await res.json();
 ```
 
-### Demo Mode
-
-Want to see what AgentActa looks like with data? Run with demo sessions:
+## Demo mode
 
 ```bash
-# Generate demo data and start in demo mode
+# seed demo data + run
 npm run demo
 
-# Or separately:
+# or split steps
 node scripts/seed-demo.js
 node index.js --demo
 ```
 
-This creates 7 realistic sessions simulating a developer building a weather app — scaffolding, API integration, frontend, debugging, deployment, tests, and a sub-agent task.

-## Etymology
+## Name
 
-*Acta* (Latin) — "things done." In ancient Rome, the *acta diurna* were daily public records of official proceedings — senate decisions, military victories, births and deaths — posted in public spaces for all citizens to read.
+*Acta* is Latin for “things done.”
 
-AgentActa is the same idea: a complete, searchable record of everything your AI agent did.
+That’s the job here: keep a readable record of what your agents actually did.
