+# Killer Features Integration Guide
+
+Quick start guide to integrate all 10 killer features into cycleCAD.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- cycleCAD `v0.8.6` or later
+- Three.js r170 (already in use)
+- Modern browser with WebGL 2.0 support
+- ~5 minutes to integrate
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Copy Files
+
+Copy these files to your repository:
+
+```bash
+# Main feature module
+cp killer-features.js app/js/
+
+# Test suite
+cp killer-features-test.html app/tests/
+
+# Documentation
+cp KILLER-FEATURES.md docs/
+cp KILLER-FEATURES-TUTORIAL.md docs/
+cp KILLER-FEATURES-INTEGRATION.md docs/
+
+# Help reference
+cp killer-features-help.json app/js/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Import in index.html
+
+Edit `/mnt/cyclecad/app/index.html` and add import:
+
+**Find this line:**
+```html
+<script type="module">
+  // ... existing imports ...
+</script>
+```
+
+**Add this import:**
+```javascript
+import { initKillerFeatures } from './js/killer-features.js';
+```
+
+**Add this initialization:**
+```javascript
+// After app is ready
+window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
+  const app = window.cycleCAD || {};
+  initKillerFeatures(app);
+});
+```
+
+**Full example:**
+```html
+<script type="module">
+  import { initViewport } from './js/viewport.js';
+  import { initChat } from './js/ai-chat.js';
+  import { initKillerFeatures } from './js/killer-features.js';  // ADD THIS
+
+  window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
+    // Initialize existing modules
+    await initViewport();
+
+    // Initialize killer features
+    const app = window.cycleCAD || {};
+    initKillerFeatures(app);
+  });
+</script>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Verify Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+Check that these shortcuts don't conflict with existing shortcuts:
+
+- `Ctrl+K` / `Cmd+K` — AI Copilot Chat
+- `Ctrl+P` / `Cmd+P` — Physics Simulation
+- `Ctrl+G` / `Cmd+G` — Generative Design
+- `Ctrl+C` / `Cmd+C` — Cost Estimator
+- `Ctrl+T` / `Cmd+T` — Parameter Table
+
+If any conflict, edit `/app/js/killer-features.js`:
+
+```javascript
+// Around line ~180, find registerKeyboardShortcuts()
+if (e.key === 'k') { ... }  // Change 'k' to another key
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Run Test Suite
+
+Open the test agent in your browser:
+
+```
+http://localhost:8080/app/tests/killer-features-test.html
+```
+
+Expected result:
+- 20 tests run automatically
+- ~18 should pass (green)
+- ~2 may be pending (yellow)
+
+If any test fails (red):
+1. Check browser console for errors
+2. Verify all files are copied correctly
+3. Check app.js is available in the iframe
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Build & Test
+
+Build your app as normal:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+# or
+make build
+```
+
+Navigate to your app:
+```
+http://localhost:8080/app/
+```
+
+Verify features work:
+- Press `Ctrl+K` → AI Copilot should open
+- Press `Ctrl+P` → Physics should toggle
+- Press `Ctrl+G` → Generative Design should open
+- Press `Ctrl+T` → Parameter Table should open
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Add Help System Integration
+
+To make the help searchable, add to your help system loader:
+
+```javascript
+// Load killer features help
+fetch('app/js/killer-features-help.json')
+  .then(r => r.json())
+  .then(data => {
+    // Merge into your help system
+    const features = data.killer_features;
+    for (const [key, feature] of Object.entries(features)) {
+      registerHelpTopic(key, feature);
+    }
+
+    // Also register shortcuts
+    Object.entries(data.keyboard_shortcuts).forEach(([shortcut, action]) => {
+      registerShortcut(shortcut, action);
+    });
+  })
+  .catch(err => console.error('Failed to load killer features help:', err));
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Update Documentation Links
+
+Link to the new documentation from your main docs:
+
+In `README.md` or `docs/index.md`, add:
+
+```markdown
+## Advanced Features
+
+- [Killer Features Guide](docs/KILLER-FEATURES.md) — 10 unique differentiators
+  - AI Design Copilot
+  - Physics Simulation
+  - Generative Design
+  - Real-time Cost Estimator
+  - Smart Assembly Mating
+  - And 5 more...
+
+- [Killer Features Tutorial](docs/KILLER-FEATURES-TUTORIAL.md) — Step-by-step guides
+
+- [Integration Guide](docs/KILLER-FEATURES-INTEGRATION.md) — For developers
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 8: Publish to npm
+
+Update `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "0.8.7",
+  "description": "Browser-based parametric CAD with AI copilot, physics simulation, and 10 killer features"
+}
+```
+
+Then publish:
+
+```bash
+npm publish
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Keyboard shortcuts not working
+
+**Problem:** Ctrl+K doesn't open AI Copilot
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check browser console: `window.KillerFeatures` should exist
+2. Verify import statement in index.html
+3. Check that killer-features.js is in `app/js/`
+4. Try pressing the shortcut again after page fully loads
+
+### Features not visible
+
+**Problem:** Panel doesn't appear when shortcut is pressed
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check console for errors: `console.log(window.KillerFeatures)`
+2. Verify app.js was properly imported and initialized
+3. Check that DOM elements can be created: `document.body.appendChild()` should work
+
+### Test suite failing
+
+**Problem:** Red test results
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check what test is failing in the log
+2. Open browser DevTools (F12)
+3. Look at errors in Console tab
+4. Most common issue: app.js not loading in iframe
+5. Verify `app/index.html` exists and loads correctly
+
+### Physics simulation is slow
+
+**Problem:** FPS drops when physics is enabled
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Physics simulates all meshes by default
+2. Reduce number of visible parts
+3. Or add a "physics performance mode" option
+4. Can toggle physics off temporarily: `Ctrl+P`
+
+---
+
+## Customization
+
+### Change AI Copilot language
+
+Edit `killer-features.js` line ~170:
+
+```javascript
+PART_TYPE_SYNONYMS = {
+  gear: ['gear', 'geer', 'engrenage', 'zahnrad'],  // Add German/French
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### Adjust physics gravity
+
+Edit line ~320:
+
+```javascript
+gravity: new THREE.Vector3(0, -9.81, 0),  // -9.81 is Earth gravity
+// For Moon: new THREE.Vector3(0, -1.62, 0),
+```
+
+### Change cost formulas
+
+Edit cost estimator around line ~550:
+
+```javascript
+const cncCost = Math.max(50, 15 * (volume / 10));  // $15 per 10cm³
+// Change to: Math.max(100, 20 * (volume / 8));
+```
+
+### Adjust snap distance
+
+Edit line ~900:
+
+```javascript
+snapDistance: 15,  // pixels
+// Change to: snapDistance: 25,
+```
+
