 ## Why SlackHive?
 
-Your Slack workspace is where your team already lives. Every question, decision, and escalation happens there. SlackHive makes that workspace a mix of **people and agents** — side by side, in the same channels, in the same threads.
+Andrej Karpathy made two observations that changed how we think about AI systems: LLMs read **wikis** better than file dumps, and **specialists beat generalists**. SlackHive is what fell out when we took both seriously.
 
-These aren't chatbots you switch to. They're colleagues you @mention. Each agent connects to the tools your team already uses — Notion, Jira, GitHub, Figma, your database, your analytics stack. **Anyone on the team can create one.** No engineers, no platform team — if you can describe what you need, you can deploy it in minutes.
+One agent per role. A shared **Knowledge Library** of Karpathy-style wiki folders that any agent can be assigned. Each agent has its own tools and memory. A Boss agent that delegates instead of cramming everything into one context window. And all of it living in the workspace your team already uses - Slack.

+If you installed Node from nodejs.org on macOS/Linux, `/usr/local/lib/node_modules` is root-owned and `npm install -g` fails without sudo. Point npm at a user-owned prefix once - no sudo needed again:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.npm-global

+Installing Node via [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or Homebrew (`brew install node`) puts it in a user-writable location by default and avoids this entirely. If you'd rather skip global install, `npx slackhive init` works too - just prefix every command with `npx`.
