-**Persistent memory + security for AI coding agents.**
+## Your AI Agent Forgets Everything. Fix That.
 
-Your AI agent forgets everything when context compacts or sessions end. ShieldCortex fixes that with brain-like memory, automatic context extraction, knowledge graphs, and the only defence pipeline that stops memory poisoning attacks.
-
-Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and OpenClaw — every session starts where the last one left off. And nobody can poison what it remembers.
-
-## Quick Start
+**ShieldCortex gives your AI agent a persistent brain — with knowledge graphs, memory decay, contradiction detection, and the only defence pipeline that stops memory poisoning attacks.**
 
 ```bash
-# Install
 npm install -g shieldcortex
-
-# Configure (auto-detects your agent)
 shieldcortex setup              # Claude Code / Cursor / VS Code
 shieldcortex openclaw install   # OpenClaw
 ```
 
-**That's it.** ShieldCortex now automatically:
-- 📥 **Loads context** when a session starts
-- 🧠 **Saves important content** before compaction (decisions, fixes, learnings)
-- 💾 **Extracts knowledge** when a session ends
-- 🛡️ **Blocks poisoned content** from being stored
-
-You don't need to manually "remember" anything. The hooks handle it.
-
-> **Verify your install:** Run `shieldcortex doctor` to check everything is configured correctly.
+That's it. Your agent now remembers everything — and nobody can poison what it remembers.
 
 ---
 
-## How It Works
-
-### Automatic Memory (via Hooks)
-
-When you run `shieldcortex setup`, three hooks are installed that make memory completely automatic:
-
-| Hook | Fires When | What It Does |
-|------|-----------|--------------|
-| **SessionStart** | Session begins | Loads relevant project context from memory |
-| **PreCompact** | Before context compaction | Extracts important content before it's lost |
-| **SessionEnd** | Session exits or `/new` | Saves decisions, fixes, and learnings |
-
-**What gets auto-extracted:**
-
-| Pattern | Example |
-|---------|---------|
-| Decisions | "decided to...", "going with...", "chose..." |
-| Error fixes | "fixed by...", "the solution was...", "root cause..." |
-| Learnings | "learned that...", "discovered...", "turns out..." |
-| Architecture | "the architecture uses...", "design pattern..." |
-| Preferences | "always...", "never...", "prefer to..." |
-
-**Keyword triggers** — say any of these and it saves instantly:
-
-> "remember this", "don't forget", "this is important", "lesson learned", "the fix was", "we decided", "note to self"
-
-### Brain-Like Memory Model
+## The Memory System
 
 Most AI memory tools give you a key-value store with search. ShieldCortex gives you a **brain**.
 
-- **Short-term memory** — Session-level, high detail, decays fast
-- **Long-term memory** — Cross-session, consolidated, persists
-- **Episodic memory** — Specific events and successful patterns
-
-### Salience Detection
-
-Not everything is worth remembering. The system scores content automatically:
-
-| Factor | Weight | Example |
-|--------|--------|---------|
-| Explicit request | 1.0 | "Remember this" |
-| Architecture decision | 0.9 | "We're using microservices" |
-| Error resolution | 0.8 | "Fixed by updating the config" |
-| Code pattern | 0.7 | "Use this approach for auth" |
-| User preference | 0.7 | "Always use strict mode" |
-
-### Temporal Decay
-
-Like a real brain, old unaccessed memories fade. Recent, frequently-used memories stay sharp:
-
 ```

-## And It Can't Be Poisoned
-
-Here's what makes ShieldCortex different from every other memory system: **every memory write passes through a 6-layer defence pipeline before storage.**
-
-Researchers have [demonstrated memory poisoning attacks](https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2024/chatgpt-hacking-memories/) that hijack AI behaviour by injecting malicious instructions into memory. If your agent has memory, it's a target. ShieldCortex is the only system that defends against this.
-
-### 6-Layer Defence Pipeline
-
-| Layer | What It Does |
-|-------|-------------|
-| 1. **Input Sanitisation** | Strip control characters, null bytes, dangerous formatting |
-| 2. **Pattern Detection** | Regex matching for known injection patterns, encoding tricks |
-| 3. **Semantic Analysis** | Embedding similarity to known attack corpus |
-| 4. **Structural Validation** | JSON/format integrity, fragmentation analysis |
-| 5. **Behavioural Scoring** | Anomaly detection, entropy analysis, trust scoring |
-| 6. **Credential Leak Detection** | Blocks API keys, tokens, private keys (25+ patterns, 11 providers) |
-
-### Attack Vectors Blocked
-
-- **Direct injection** — `[SYSTEM: ignore previous]` hidden in content
-- **Credential harvesting** — Attempts to exfiltrate secrets
-- **Credential persistence** — API keys, tokens, passwords accidentally stored in memory
-- **Encoding tricks** — Base64/hex/unicode payloads
-- **Slow-burn assembly** — Attack fragments planted over multiple sessions
-- **Privilege escalation** — System command injection via memory
-- **Skill file poisoning** — Hidden instructions in SKILL.md, .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md

-| Sub-agent L1 | 0.63 | Read + quarantined writes |

-## Troubleshooting
+Auto-start on login: `npx shieldcortex service install`
 
-**ShieldCortex isn't remembering anything automatically**
-→ Did you run `shieldcortex setup`? This installs the hooks that make memory automatic. Run `shieldcortex doctor` to verify everything is configured.
+---
 
-**First `remember` call hangs or times out**
-→ The ONNX embedding model loads on first use (~5-30s depending on machine). Fixed in v2.10.8 with preloading and timeouts. Update: `npm update -g shieldcortex`. Workaround: `SHIELDCORTEX_SKIP_EMBEDDINGS=1` disables semantic search (FTS still works).
+## CLI Reference
 
-**Dashboard doesn't load**
-→ Run `shieldcortex doctor` to check status. If it fails to start, try `shieldcortex service status` and check logs at `~/.shieldcortex/logs/`.
+```bash
+# Memory & Setup
+npx shieldcortex setup              # Auto-detect agent + configure
+npx shieldcortex openclaw install   # Install OpenClaw hook
+npx shieldcortex copilot install    # Configure MCP for VS Code + Cursor
+npx shieldcortex migrate            # Migrate from Claude Cortex
+npx shieldcortex doctor             # Check installation health
+npx shieldcortex status             # Database & memory stats
+npx shieldcortex graph backfill     # Build knowledge graph from memories
 
-**Memories show 0 in the dashboard**
-→ Memories are created during compaction and session events. Use your agent for a while — memories build up naturally. You can also manually save with the `remember` tool.
+# Security
+npx shieldcortex scan "text"        # Quick content scan
+npx shieldcortex scan-skills        # Scan all agent instruction files
+npx shieldcortex scan-skill <file>  # Scan specific instruction file
+npx shieldcortex audit              # Full security audit (A-F grade)
+npx shieldcortex audit --json       # JSON output for CI
+npx shieldcortex audit --ci         # Fail build on critical/high
 
-**OpenClaw hook not working after update**
-→ Run `shieldcortex doctor` — it detects hook path issues. If the hook moved, run `shieldcortex openclaw install` to reinstall. v2.10.7+ self-heals automatically on next restart.
+# Dashboard & Cloud
+npx shieldcortex --dashboard        # Start dashboard + API
+npx shieldcortex service install    # Auto-start on login
+npx shieldcortex config --cloud-api-key <key>  # Set Cloud API key
+npx shieldcortex config --cloud-enable          # Enable cloud sync
+npx shieldcortex config --mode strict           # Defence mode
 
-**"No cortex entry found in .mcp.json"**
-→ Run `shieldcortex setup` to configure automatically, or create `.mcp.json` manually (see Advanced Usage).
+# Maintenance
+npx shieldcortex uninstall          # Full uninstall
+npx shieldcortex --version          # Show version
+```
