+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or

+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+# Strom Research
+
+Research your family's history with an AI agent. `strom` turns an AI agent —
+Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity or OpenCode — into a careful
+genealogical researcher: the agent searches parish registers and archives, you
+decide, and only what a record proves goes into your family tree. The result is
+a GEDCOM file for the [Strom app](https://stromapp.info) or any other program.
+
+Everything stays on your computer: the research is a folder with its full
+history, and nothing leaves it except the requests to the archives and your
+conversation with the agent you chose.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### With an AI agent you already use
+
+Send it this sentence:
+
+> I'd like to research my family history with your help. Please install and
+> start strom as described at https://github.com/ACiDekCZ/strom-research
+
+The agent asks your permission, installs strom, asks where to keep the research
+and in which language to talk, and opens the conversation for the research.
+
+### One line in a terminal
+
+No Node needed: the installer brings the official Node from nodejs.org and
+strom's code (plain JavaScript you can read), checks both against their
+checksums, puts `strom` on your PATH and starts a short setup in your language.
+Nothing needs admin rights.
+
+- **Windows** (PowerShell):
+  `irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ACiDekCZ/strom-research/main/install/install.ps1 | iex`
+- **macOS, Linux**:
+  `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ACiDekCZ/strom-research/main/install/install.sh | sh`
+
+With Node 22.18 or newer: `npm install -g strom-research`.
+
+The setup asks a few things — language, where to keep the research, which
+agent (it finds the installed ones and offers Claude if there is none), the
+model, whether the agent should also write stories of your ancestors, what the
+agent may do without asking, a shortcut on the desktop — and gets git if it is
+missing. Then the first conversation begins: tell the agent whom you are
+looking for and what you know.
+
+Next time: run `strom`, or double-click the "Strom research" shortcut.
+
+Updates: strom looks for a new version at most once a day and says so;
+`strom update` installs it (checked like the installer does). Installed with
+npm: `npm install -g strom-research@latest`.
+
+## Features
+
+**Research as a conversation**
+- The agent explains, asks and proposes; you decide whom to research and what next
+- Beginners talk to the agent in its desktop app (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex,
+  OpenCode), experienced users in the terminal — strom opens it in the right
+  folder, set up as you chose
+- Or let the agent work on its own through the task queue (`strom run`) and
+  read the result
+- Several agents can work on one family tree side by side, each on its own task
+
+**Evidence first**
+- Every fact cites its record (folio, entry, the words of the register);
+  facts without one stay leads
+- Sources, record sets, archives, searches (also the negative ones),
+  hypotheses and decisions — all recorded
+- Proposes the next tasks itself: who still lacks proven parents and which
+  books would name them
+- Checks the tree for contradictions (ages, dates, duplicates) before every commit
+- Every change is a commit; the agent never edits the data directly
+
+**Archives**
+- Downloaders ("connectors") for online archives: the agent builds one itself
+  when the research needs an archive strom does not know yet, and tells you
+- A polite limiter for every request (pace, hourly cap, back-off), images
+  checked before they are kept; your own login to a paid portal stays with you
+- A standard, versioned plugin interface — see
+  [assets/plugins/connectors/README.md](assets/plugins/connectors/README.md)
+
+**Results**
+- GEDCOM for the Strom app (witnesses, stories, sources per page) and a strict
+  standard GEDCOM for any other program
+- Stories of your ancestors, written from the facts, for the family book
+  (on by default, you may say no)
+- The Strom app can open the research directly and follow it live while the
+  agent works
+- Ask the agent about anyone in the tree — with or without the app
+
+**Safe by design**
+- What the agent may do alone is your choice: ask, auto (default) or full
+- Consents are yours: strom asks in a window of the system that the agent can
+  neither see nor click
+- `strom doctor` checks everything strom needs and fixes it with your yes;
+  `strom uninstall` removes strom again (your research stays)
+
+**Everywhere**
+- Windows, macOS and Linux; strom brings its own official Node, needs no admin
+  rights, and everything it runs is readable JavaScript
+- English, Czech and German in the program; the research itself in any
+  language and script
+
+## What you need
+
+- A computer with Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS or Linux
+- An AI agent with an account at its maker — usually a subscription (for
+  example Claude Pro). Choose its best model: the research reads old
+  handwriting and weighs the records.
+- git — strom gets it for you if it is missing
+
+## For AI agents
+
+The instructions for an agent sent here by its user:
+[install/AGENTS.md](install/AGENTS.md). Once installed, `strom` (no
+arguments) says where things stand and what to do next, `strom guide`
+explains the work, `strom commands --json` lists every command.
+
+## Build from Source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ACiDekCZ/strom-research.git
+cd strom-research
+npm install
+node src/cli.ts --help                # run from sources (Node 22.18+)
+npm test                              # node --test
+npm run typecheck
+npm run build                         # dist/ for npm
+npm run release                       # release/: strom-app.tar.gz, SHASUMS256.txt, VERSION, NODE_VERSION, installers
+```
+
+Zero runtime dependencies: TypeScript on Node's built-ins, and git.
