+
+A low-code, SQL-driven application builder for PostgreSQL, modeled on
+Oracle APEX. Applications are **data**: pages, regions, items, buttons,
+dynamic actions, validations and processes are rows in the `meta` schema. A
+runtime turns those rows into web pages, and the builder is an editor for
+them.

+</p>
+
+## Quick start
+
+With Docker (no Node.js needed):
+
+```bash
+mkdir pgkiln && cd pgkiln
+curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgkiln/pgkiln/main/deploy/compose.yaml
+curl -fsSL -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pgkiln/pgkiln/main/deploy/.env.example   # fill in the four secrets
+docker compose up -d   # http://127.0.0.1:3100/builder (admin / the password from .env)
+```
+
+Or from the source, for developing:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+cp .env.example .env
+npm run setup        # Postgres 17 on localhost:5434 + the pgkiln schema (migrations)
+npm run dev          # http://127.0.0.1:3100/builder (admin / admin)
+```
+
+Then build an application on your own tables: *Create application* in the builder generates
+report and form pages from a table, and everything else (regions, items, processes, security,
+translations, documents, approvals) is added in the page designer and Shared Components. The
+[tutorial](docs/guide/10-tutorial.md) walks through one.
+
+### The example application
+
+pgkiln itself contains no application. The repository ships an example built on it, **HR**
+(`examples/hr/`): employees and departments, leave requests with approvals, a dashboard, a REST API,
+translations, documents, automations and row level security, all of it ordinary pgkiln metadata
+and PostgreSQL code, the way you would build your own.
+
+```bash
+npm run example:hr   # http://127.0.0.1:3100/a/hr
+```
+
+Users (password = username): `king` is admin and manager (the president), `blake` and `jones` are
+managers, `allen` and `scott` are employees, and `demo` is an admin who is not an employee. Sign
+in as different users to see authorization schemes and row level security at work.
+
+### Developing pgkiln
+
+```bash
+npm test             # unit + security regression tests (installs the HR example as their fixture)
+npm run test:e2e     # browser tests on phone/tablet/desktop (npx playwright install chromium first)
+```
+
+`npm run db:reset` recreates the database (pgkiln only). Schema changes go in a new
+`db/migrations/NNN_*.sql` file; `npm run db:migrate` applies pending ones.
+
+## Working with AI coding agents
+
+pgkiln ships an **MCP server** (`pgkiln mcp`), so Claude Code, Cursor and other agents can find an
+application, read and explain its pages, look at the tables and RLS policies behind them, search
+this documentation, and change the application: export it as files (one YAML file per component,
+SQL inline), edit them, show the diff, and import them again in one transaction. In a checkout,
+`.mcp.json` starts it for Claude Code; for your own project:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add pgkiln -- /path/to/pgkiln/bin/pgkiln.js mcp
+```
+
+Then ask things like *"explain what happens when I press Save on page 3 of hr"* or *"add a hire
+date column to the employee report and show me the diff"*. Queries it runs are read-only. See
+[AI coding agents](docs/guide/20-ai-agents.md).
+
+Without an agent, the same export and import is on the command line (`pgkiln export hr --format text`,
+`pgkiln diff`, `pgkiln import --replace`, see [the CLI](docs/guide/18-cli.md)) and in the builder
+(*Export* / *Import*).
+
+## Documentation
+
+What's next: [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md).
+
+
+The **[user guide](docs/README.md)** explains how everything works: installation and
+configuration, concepts, the builder, every region and item type, processing, dynamic actions,
+security, the SQL reference, a step-by-step tutorial, a guide for Oracle APEX developers, and
+developing pgkiln itself.
+
+## What's in the box
+
+For a full comparison with Oracle APEX 26.1, including what's missing, see
+**[docs/apex-feature-parity.md](docs/apex-feature-parity.md)**.
+
+**Runtime (Universal Theme-style UI, responsive on phone, tablet and desktop)**
+- Side or top navigation (a drawer on tablets and phones), breadcrumbs, user menu, dark mode, theme colours
+- 12-column region grid; region templates *standard*, *plain*, *collapsible*
+- Regions:
+  - **Interactive report**: search, column filters, sort, rows per page, CSV download, reflow on phones
+  - **Interactive grid**: inline edit, add and delete rows
+  - **Form**: automatic row fetch and DML, in a page or a **modal dialog**
+  - **Charts**: bar, column, line, area and donut
+  - **Cards and metric cards**, **calendar**, **faceted search**
+  - **Static and dynamic content**
+- **Items**: text, textarea, number, date, datetime, select, popup LOV (searchable), radio, checkbox, switch, checkbox group, multi-select, email, phone, URL, colour, display, hidden, password. Lists of values come from SQL, `STATIC:` or shared lists; items can be required or read-only (by condition), and select lists can cascade.
+- **Dynamic actions**:
+  - Client-side: show, hide, enable, disable, alert, submit
+  - Server-side: set value from SQL, execute SQL, refresh a region, refresh an item
+- Validations, processes (form DML, grid DML, any SQL/PL/pgSQL), branches, application items and processes
+
+**Builder**
+- App Builder home, app dashboard, and create page wizards from any table: *Report and form*, *Interactive grid*, *Form*, *Cards*, *Calendar*, *Chart*, *Map*, *Faceted search* and *Master detail*, with defaults from the catalog
+- A **page designer** with a component tree and a grouped property editor
+- **Shared components**: navigation menu, authorization schemes, lists of values, application items and processes, users
+- Settings with theme and a security checklist, and an **activity monitor**
+- **SQL Workshop**: SQL commands, plus an object browser with RLS policies and grants
+- Export and import of apps as JSON, and developer accounts
+- A `pgkiln` command line: migrations, export/import, and apps as one file per component for git
+  (diff, update in place)
+- An MCP server for AI coding agents (`pgkiln mcp`): read, explain, change, diff and import applications
+
+**Security** is covered in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md): least-privilege runtime role, per-app database roles, authorization schemes, checksummed URLs and grid rows, CSRF protection, login throttling, a strict CSP, and 28 security regression tests.
+
+## PL/pgSQL examples in the HR example application
+
+The example ([`examples/hr/hr.sql`](examples/hr/hr.sql)) keeps its business rules in
+the database and calls them from the app:
+
+| Where in the app | Database object | Shows |
+|---|---|---|
+| Leave requests → *Submit request* | `hr.request_leave()` | Validation in PL/pgSQL (dates, overlaps, a 25-day balance). `raise exception … using column = 'end_date'` puts the message on the matching form field. |
+| Leave request → *Approve* / *Reject* | `hr.decide_leave()` | Authorization in the database: a recursive CTE checks the management chain (`hr.is_manager_of`). |
+| Manager's dashboard, employee's dashboard | `hr.notify_leave_requested()`, `hr.notify_leave_decided()` | Triggers creating notifications for *other* users (SECURITY DEFINER past RLS) |
+| Employee form → *Give 10% raise* | `hr.give_raise()` | Role check via `meta.has_role()`; the returned salary is written back into the item |
+| Employee form, salary field | trigger `hr.check_salary()` | A BEFORE trigger rule whose error appears on the Salary field |
+| Employee form, *Job* | `hr.suggest_salary()` | Dynamic action: set a value from SQL as you type |
+| Leave form, dates | `hr.business_days()` | Dynamic action computing working days live |
+| Administration → Audit trail | trigger `hr.audit()` | A generic jsonb-diff audit trail recording the **application user** |
+| Leave requests, notifications, audit | RLS policies | Each user sees only their own and their team's rows |
+| Sign in | after-login application process | Maps the app user to an employee (`AI_EMPNO`, `AI_ENAME`) |
+
+## How it works
+
+```
+Browser ── HTML + /static/app.js (dialogs, dynamic actions; no inline JS)
+   │
+Runtime (Fastify, server-rendered)            Builder (/builder)
+   │ per request: BEGIN                          │ owner connection
+   │   set pgkiln.app_user / app_id / session    │ edits meta.* rows
+   │   SET LOCAL ROLE <app db_role>              │ SQL Workshop
+   │   authorization → visibility → render/process
+   │ COMMIT
+   │ connects as pgkiln_runtime (least privilege)
+Postgres
+   meta.*        app definitions, sessions (hashed tokens), activity log
+   your schemas  tables, PL/pgSQL, RLS policies
+```
+
+### Bind variables
+
+`:NAME` in developer SQL is replaced by the item's value as an **escaped,
+untyped string literal**. Postgres then resolves the literal's type from its
+context, the way Oracle converts types implicitly. APEX patterns like
+`where :P2_DEPTNO is null or deptno = :P2_DEPTNO` therefore work. With `$1`
+parameters they fail with *could not determine data type of parameter*.
+Empty strings are `NULL`, as in APEX. The scanner skips literals,
+identifiers, comments, dollar quotes and `::` casts (see `test/binds.test.ts`).
+Inside functions and `DO` blocks, use `meta.v('P1_X')`.
+
+### SQL API for developers
+
+| Function | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `meta.app_user()` | Signed-in application user (`nobody` when anonymous) |
+| `meta.has_role('admin')` | Role check; use it in RLS policies |
+| `meta.v('P1_ITEM')` | Session state value |
+| `meta.page_url(3, '{"P3_ID": 7}')` | Link with a valid checksum |
+| `meta.generate_crud('app', 'schema.table', 2, 3)` | The page wizard |
+| `meta.generate_page('app', 'calendar', 'schema.table', 4)` | The other page wizards (form, cards, calendar, chart, map, facets, master_detail) |
+| `meta.export_app('alias')` / `meta.import_app(json)` | Deployment (or `pgkiln export` / `pgkiln import`, [chapter 18](docs/guide/18-cli.md)) |
