 ## Reporting bugs
 
 Open an issue using the **Bug report** template. Include:
 - Your Node.js version (`node --version`)
 - The exact command you ran
-- Output of `npx content-grade init` if it's a setup issue
+- Output of `npx content-grade@latest init` if it's a setup issue
 - Expected vs. actual behavior

+## Development setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone and install

+cd Content-Grade
+npm install
+
+# Run in development
+node bin/content-grade.js demo         # smoke test — no API key needed
+node bin/content-grade.js analyze README.md  # requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+
+# Run all checks (must pass before opening a PR)
+npm test          # vitest — all tests green
+npm run typecheck # zero TypeScript errors
+npm run build     # vite + tsc — must compile clean
+```
+
+### Environment variables

+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` if one exists, or set these:

 | `npm run typecheck` | `tsc --noEmit` — types must be clean |
 | `npm run build` | vite + tsc server build — must pass before release |

 - TypeScript throughout — no `any` without a comment explaining why
 - CLI errors use `fail()` helper, never raw `console.error` + `process.exit`
 - New Claude prompts must include the scoring calibration note (see existing prompts)
 - No hardcoded API keys or credentials anywhere

+## What gets merged
+
+- Bug fixes with a test that reproduces the bug
+- Features that have a clear use case described in an issue first
+- Documentation improvements — always welcome
+- Performance improvements with benchmarks
