+Pick skills, choose your interface (terminal, Telegram, or both), and you're done. No daemon, no subscriptions — runs once and gets out of the way.

-## What is OpenPaw?
-
-OpenPaw turns **Claude Code** into a full personal assistant. One command, 38 skills, and a really good boy who fetches your emails, plays your music, and controls your smart home.
-
-```
-npx pawmode
-  ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
-  │  How should we set things up, human?  │
-  │                                       │
-  │  > ⚡ Quick Setup (pick a preset)     │

-  └───────────────────────────────────────┘
-
-  How do you want to talk to Claude? 🐾
-  > 🖥  Terminal only
-  > 🖥📱 Terminal + Telegram
-
-  ✔ Sniffed out Homebrew taps
-  ✔ Taught Claude new tricks
-  ✔ Buried treats in ~/.claude/skills/
-  ✔ Set up the doggy door (permissions)
-  ✔ Put up the baby gate (safety hooks)
-  ✔ All done! *tail wag intensifies*
-```
-
-Then just talk to Claude — from your terminal or your phone:
-
-```
-> "What emails did I get today?"
-> "Play lo-fi on Spotify"
-> "Turn the bedroom lights to 20%"
-> "What's on my calendar tomorrow?"
-> "Go to hacker news and summarize the top 5 posts"
-```
-
-**No daemon.** OpenPaw runs once, writes config, gets out of the way. No subscriptions. No extra cost. Just a wizard that sets things up and takes a nap.

-## What's New in v1.2.0
-
-- **Task Dashboard** — local kanban board with 3 themes (Paw, Midnight, Neon), drag-and-drop, runs on `localhost:3141`
-- **3D ASCII Title** — extruded block-character title with depth effect
-- **Overwrite Protection** — existing SOUL.md and skills are preserved unless you choose to update them
-- **4 New Skills** — Weather, Clipboard, Contacts, Timer
-- **Dependency Resolution** — skills that need other skills auto-install them
-
----
-
-## Task Dashboard
-
-A local kanban board for your assistant. No accounts, no cloud — just a tiny server on your machine.
-
-```bash
-openpaw dashboard                    # Start + open browser
-openpaw dashboard --theme midnight   # Switch theme
-openpaw dashboard --port 8080        # Custom port
-```
-
-**3 themes:**
-- **Paw** — warm brown tones (`#b4783c`)
-- **Midnight** — cool dark blue (`#6688cc`)
-- **Neon** — cyber green on black (`#00ff88`)
-
-Features: drag-and-drop kanban, inline editing, priority dots, persistent JSON storage. The wizard asks if you want a dashboard during setup.
-
-![Dashboard](docs/dashboard.png)
-
----
-
-## Telegram Bridge
-
-Talk to Claude from your phone. Full bidirectional. All your skills available as bot commands.
-
-```bash
-# Set up during the wizard, or separately:
-openpaw telegram setup
-
-# Start the bridge:
-openpaw telegram
-```
-
-**Bot commands** (auto-generated from your skills):
-- `/email check my inbox`
-- `/music play some jazz`
-- `/notes add grocery list`
-- `/model sonnet` / `/model opus` / `/model haiku` — switch models on the fly
-- `/skills` — see what's installed
-- `/stop` — cancel current operation
-- `/clear` — fresh start
-
-Or just send a regular message. Claude figures out which skill to use.
-
----
-
-## Smart Scheduling
-
-Automate recurring tasks with built-in cost control. No runaway bills.
-
-```bash
-# Morning briefing to Telegram
-openpaw schedule add "weekdays 8am" --run "check email and summarize" --delivery telegram
-
-# Evening project summary
-openpaw schedule add "daily 6pm" --run "summarize today's git commits" --delivery file
-
-# Urgent email monitor (cheap with Haiku)
-openpaw schedule add "every 30 minutes" --run "check for urgent emails" --model haiku --budget 0.25
-```
-
-**Cost control built in:**
-- Daily cap: $5/day by default (configurable)
-- Per-run budget: $1.00 default
-- Jobs auto-skip if cap would be exceeded
-- Track spending: `openpaw schedule costs`
-
-Jobs run via launchd (macOS) or cron (Linux) — they keep running even when your terminal is closed.
-
----
-
-## PAW MODE
-
-When you launch Claude through OpenPaw, it runs in **PAW MODE** — full personal assistant mode. Claude knows your name, your preferences, what skills are installed, and greets you at session start.
-
-PAW MODE is established through:
-- `~/.claude/SOUL.md` — your personality config
-- `~/.claude/skills/c-core/SKILL.md` — the coordinator brain
-- `~/.claude/memory/` — persistent facts across sessions
-
----
-

-## Commands
+## Presets
 
-| Command | Description |
+| Preset | Skills |
 |---|---|
-| `openpaw` | Interactive setup wizard |
-| `openpaw --preset <name>` | Quick setup with a preset |
-| `openpaw --preset <name> --yes` | Non-interactive setup |
-| `openpaw --dry-run` | Preview what would be installed |

-
----
-
-## How It Works
-
-OpenPaw doesn't run in the background (except the optional Telegram bridge). Here's what happens:
-
-```
-1. You pick a preset or choose individual skills
-2. Pick your interface: terminal, Telegram, or both
-3. Optionally set up a task dashboard with your preferred theme
-4. CLI tools are installed via brew/npm/pip
-5. SKILL.md files are created in ~/.claude/skills/
-6. Permissions + safety hooks are configured
-7. Telegram bridge is set up (if selected)
-8. Claude launches in PAW MODE — ready to fetch!
-```
-
-**Skills** are SKILL.md files that Claude auto-discovers. They teach Claude how to use each CLI tool.
-
-**Permissions** let Claude run tools without prompting you every time. Only the minimum needed.
-
-**Safety hooks** block dangerous patterns like mass-delete, mass-email, and credential exposure. Baby gate = installed.
-
-**`--dangerously-skip-permissions`** lets Claude actually be your assistant. The wizard explains this and asks before enabling. Safety hooks still protect you.
+| **Everything** | All 38 skills |
+| **Essentials** | Email, calendar, notes, music, weather, clipboard, browser, system, notifications |
+| **Productivity** | Notes, Obsidian, tasks, email, calendar, Slack, cloud files, notifications |
+| **Developer** | GitHub, Linear, Jira, browser, network, cron |
+| **Creative** | Music, video, screen, voice, browser, research |
+| **Smart Home** | Lights, speakers, Bluetooth, system, display, notifications |

-## The `/c` Coordinator
+## Features
 
-Every OpenPaw install includes `c-core` — a coordinator skill that acts as the brain. It knows what's installed and routes your requests to the right tool.
+**Telegram Bridge** — Talk to Claude from your phone. Set up with `openpaw telegram setup`, start with `openpaw telegram`.
 
-```
-/c what emails came in today?
-/c play something chill on spotify
-/c add "buy groceries" to my reminders
-/c search my obsidian vault for project ideas
-```
-
----
+**Task Dashboard** — Local kanban board with 3 themes (Paw, Midnight, Neon). Run `openpaw dashboard`.
 
-## tmux Support
-
-For the Telegram bridge (or running "both" mode), OpenPaw can set up a tmux session:
-
-```bash
-# The wizard offers this automatically, or:
-tmux new-session -s openpaw 'openpaw telegram'
-```
+**Scheduling** — Recurring tasks with per-run and daily cost caps. `openpaw schedule add "weekdays 8am" --run "check email"`.
 
-In "both" mode, tmux splits into two panes — Claude Code on the left, Telegram bridge on the right.
+**CLAUDE.md Integration** — OpenPaw writes a section into `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` so Claude knows its name, installed skills, and personality on every session start. Your existing CLAUDE.md content is preserved.
