 ```bash
 npx claude-code-hub --open
 ```
 
-### From Source
+The hub starts on `http://localhost:3540` and opens the browser. To get a window with no browser UI, install the page as an app from the browser menu.
+
+### From source
 
 ```bash
 git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/NikiforovAll/claude-code-hub.git
 cd claude-code-hub
-npm install && npm install --prefix marketplace && npm install --prefix cck && npm install --prefix memory

+## Agent observability (one-time setup)
 
-For the full Kanban experience — agent log, live subagent tracking, waiting-for-user indicators, and context window monitoring — install the hooks:
+For the full Kanban view (agent log, live subagent tracking, waiting-for-user indicators, and context window use), install the hooks:
 
 ```bash
 npx claude-code-kanban --install
 ```
 
-Without hooks you still get the task board, but no agent activity or live indicators. See the [Kanban README](https://github.com/NikiforovAll/claude-task-viewer#getting-started) for details.
+Without the hooks you still get the task board and sessions, but no live agent activity. The hooks and status line are installed per Claude config dir, so run the command again for each dir you use. See the [Kanban docs](https://nikiforovall.blog/claude-code-kanban/) for details.
+
+## Hub token
+
+The hub page and its API need a token. Any local account can reach a loopback port, and the API carries the terminal token.
 
-## Keyboard Shortcuts
+- The token is in `~/.claude-hub/token`. The hub creates it on the first run and keeps it across restarts.
+- The startup banner prints the URL with the token, `http://localhost:3540/?token=…`, and `--open` uses that URL. The hub sets a cookie and then removes the token from the address bar, so later visits and the installed app need no token.
+- Without the token, the page shows a locked screen.
+- To change the token, delete the file and restart the hub.
 
-| Shortcut         | Action                  |
-| ---------------- | ----------------------- |
-| `Alt+1`          | Switch to Kanban        |
-| `Alt+2`          | Switch to Marketplace   |
-| `Alt+3`          | Switch to Cost          |
-| `Alt+4`          | Switch to Memory Diagnoser |
-| `Ctrl+M`         | Open Memory Diagnoser for current session (Kanban) |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+Right` | Switch to next tool     |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+Left`  | Switch to previous tool |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+P`     | Switch project          |
-| `Ctrl+Alt+W`     | Switch Claude config dir (`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`); restarts the sub-apps |
+## Config dirs
 
-## How It Works
+The hub can run the tools against more than one Claude config dir (`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`), for example a work dir and a personal dir.
 
-The hub server spawns both sub-apps as child processes, each on its own port. A minimal shell page embeds them in iframes and switches visibility on tab change — zero UI chrome, just keyboard shortcuts.
+- Press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> to open the config-dir palette. Pick a dir to switch to it, or type a path to add a new one. <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> removes the selected dir.
+- Each dir gets its own set of the four tools. When you switch, the hub keeps the old set running, so switching back is instant. `--pool-size` sets how many sets stay alive (default 3). When the pool is full, the hub stops the least recently used set, but not a set whose Kanban has open terminals.
+- The list and the active dir are saved in `~/.claude-hub/config.json`.

+Under the hub, Kanban has an embedded terminal, on by default, so you can start or resume Claude Code sessions from the board. While a terminal is attached, the hub asks before it closes the window, because <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> meant for the terminal would close it.
 
-## CLI Flags
+To turn the terminal off, start the hub with `--disable-terminal`, or add this to `~/.claude-hub/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "terminal": { "enabled": false }
+}
+```
+
+## Keyboard shortcuts
+
+The hub has no visible UI of its own. Use these shortcuts:
+
+| Shortcut | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd> | Next tool |
+| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd> | Previous tool |
+| <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd> | Kanban |
+| <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>2</kbd> | Marketplace |
+| <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>3</kbd> | Cost |
+| <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>4</kbd> | Memory Diagnoser |
+| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> | Project palette: set the project for all tools |
+| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> | Config-dir palette: switch, add, or remove a config dir |
+
+In a palette, use <kbd>↑</kbd>/<kbd>↓</kbd> or <kbd>Tab</kbd> to move, <kbd>Enter</kbd> to select, and <kbd>Esc</kbd> to close.
+
+The shortcuts also work when focus is inside a tool. Kanban keeps <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>N</kbd> (new session), <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd> (resume session), and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd> (previous session) for itself. From Kanban you can also jump to another tool for the selected session:
+
+| Shortcut | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| <kbd>M</kbd> | Open Marketplace for the session's project |
+| <kbd>$</kbd> | Open Cost for the session |
+| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> | Open Memory Diagnoser for the session's project |
