+# Agentic Programming Language - Complete Project Overview
+
+## What Is This?
+
+**Agentic** is the world's first AI-native programming language with uncertainty, incremental correctness, and verification as first-class citizens.
+
+## The Problem
+
+Current programming languages assume:
+- Developers know everything upfront
+- Code is either complete or broken
+- Errors are simple strings
+- Context is implicit
+
+But AI agents:
+- Are probabilistic (uncertain)
+- Work iteratively (code evolves)
+- Need structured error context
+- Require explicit dependencies
+
+## The Solution
+
+Agentic embraces how AI agents actually work:
+
+### 1. Uncertainty is Explicit
+```agentic
+@confidence(0.60)  // I'm only 60% sure
+@uncertain("Multiple date formats possible")
+func parseDate(input: string) -> Date
+```
+
+### 2. Incremental Development
+```agentic
+@stub → @partial → @complete
+```
+Each stage compiles and runs.
+
+### 3. Rich Error Context
+```agentic
+or error {
+    @context {
+        what_failed: "...",
+        suggestions: ["...", "..."],
+        recovery: { action: "fix_and_retry" }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Explicit Context
+```agentic
+@needs(database: Database, logger: Logger)
+func saveUser(user: User)
+```
+Compiler checks dependencies.

+
+## Technology Stack
+
+### Language Implementation
+- **Parser**: Regex-based lexer + recursive descent parser
+- **Code Generation**: String templates with source maps
+- **Target**: TypeScript → JavaScript
+- **Runtime**: Node.js with runtime library
+
+### Dependencies
+- `tree-sitter` - AST parsing (for future enhancement)
+- `tree-sitter-typescript` - TypeScript support
+- `chokidar` - File watching
+- `commander` - CLI framework
+- `source-map` - Debugging support
+
+### Development
+- `typescript` - Compiler
+- `vitest` - Testing framework
+- `fast-check` - Property-based testing
+- `@vscode/vsce` - Extension packaging
+
+## Key Features Implemented
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Transpiler MVP
+- [x] Lexer (tokenization)
+- [x] Parser (AST generation)
+- [x] TypeScript code generator
+- [x] Source map support
+- [x] CLI interface (`compile`, `watch`)
+- [x] Runtime library (Result, confidence, health)
+
+### ✅ Phase 2: Property Tests
+- [x] Property extraction from annotations
+- [x] fast-check test generation
+- [x] Arbitrary generation from types
+
+### ✅ Phase 3: VSCode Extension
+- [x] TextMate syntax grammar
+- [x] Language configuration
+- [x] Bracket matching, auto-closing
+- [x] Comment toggling
+
+### ✅ Phase 4: Documentation
+- [x] README with examples
+- [x] Language specification
+- [x] Quick start guide
+- [x] Research foundation
+- [x] Contributing guide
+
+## How to Use
+
+### 1. Build the Transpiler
+
+```bash
+cd /c/Dev/agentic-lang
+npm install
+npm run build
+```
+
+### 2. Compile an Example
+
+```bash
+./bin/agentic.js compile examples/simple.agentic
+cat examples/simple.ts  # View generated TypeScript
+```
+
+### 3. Watch Mode
+
+```bash
+./bin/agentic.js watch "examples/**/*.agentic"
+```
+
+### 4. Install VSCode Extension
+
+```bash
+cd vscode-extension
+npm install
+code .
+# Press F5 to test in Extension Development Host
+```
+
+## What Makes This Groundbreaking
+
+### 1. First Language with Confidence as a Type
+Not just comments - compiler tracks and warns when confidence < 0.80
+
+### 2. Incremental Correctness Built-In
+Every stage (@stub, @partial, @complete) is valid code
+
+### 3. Error Context is Structured Data
+Errors include suggestions, recovery steps, and context - not just strings
+
+### 4. Context as Types
+`@needs()` makes dependencies explicit; compiler proves availability
+
+### 5. Property Tests Auto-Generate
+AI extracts properties from code; 1000 random tests per function
+
