-# thachvd-kit — Universal Agent Kit
-
-A universally compatible, high-power agent toolkit designed for **Antigravity**, **Claude Code**, and **Codex/OpenCode**. 
-It dynamically sets up rules and intelligently routes agent skills based on your project's technology stack using a CLI wizard.
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-You can initialize `thachvd-kit` in **any** project directory without manually copying files!
-
-Simply run the wizard:
+# thachvd-kit
+
+`thachvd-kit` bootstraps project context for AI coding agents such as Antigravity, Claude Code, and Codex.
+
+It installs a local `.agent/` kit, generates `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`, and can scan an existing codebase to infer stack, framework, database, and infra signals before your agent starts working.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Install globally:
 
 ```bash
-npx thachvd-kit init
-# or
-npx github:thachvd/thachvd-kit init
+npm install -g thachvd-kit
 ```
 
-The interactive wizard will first ask whether this is a new project or an existing one.
-If it is an existing project, it can scan the current codebase to prefill `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`, or let you enter everything manually.
-The scan mode uses evidence-based detectors and shows why a framework was inferred, so you can quickly confirm or correct it.
-After init, you can also generate an AI refinement prompt to let your editor/agent deepen the project context.
+Then run inside any project folder:
 
 ```bash
-thachvd-kit init --scan
+thachvd-kit init
 ```
 
-Use `--scan` when you want to skip straight to codebase detection for an existing project.
-
-The wizard will then ask you a few questions about your project (frontend, backend, database, infrastructure, etc.). 
-Based on your answers, it will:
-1. **Copy** the highly optimized agents, skills, and rules to a `.agent` folder inside your project.
-2. **Generate** a smart `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` file tailored specifically to your chosen stack.
-3. **Generate** a `CLAUDE.md` to ensure maximum cross-platform compatibility.
-
-### Global Installation (Like `agkit-init`)
-
-If you want to install it globally on your machine:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g github:thachvd/thachvd-kit
-```
-
-Then, whenever you start a new project, just type:
+You can also skip directly to scan mode:
 
 ```bash
-thachvd-kit init
+thachvd-kit init --scan
 ```
-
----
-
-## 🧠 How It Works
-
-This kit uses a **Universal Protocol Engine** (`GEMINI.md` / `CLAUDE.md`) that is completely stack-agnostic. 
-
-Instead of hardcoding rules, it relies on the `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` file (generated by the CLI wizard) to automatically detect the environment and load the **right** skills:
-
-- Are you using **Laravel**? It loads `laravel-patterns`, `laravel-security`, and `laravel-tdd`.
-- Are you using **Go**? It brings in `golang-patterns` and `golang-testing`.
-- Are you using **React**? It primes the agent with `react-frontend` and `frontend-design`.
-- Are you using **Next.js**? It primes the agent with `nextjs-react-expert` and `frontend-design`.
-- Are you using **Tauri**? It primes the agent with `rust-pro` and `desktop-design`.
-
-## 🛠️ Features
-
-- 🎯 **50+ Production-Grade Skills:** From architecture patterns to multi-agent parallel dispatching.
-- ⚡️ **Subagent-Driven Development:** Agents act as your implementer, spec-verifier, and code-reviewer without human bottlenecks.
-- 🛡️ **Zero Hallucination Completion:** Built-in `verification-before-completion` forces the agent to run tests before claiming "done".
-- 🚀 **Isolated Worktrees:** Automatically manages hidden `git worktrees` so you never pollute your main branch with broken iterations.

+
+## What `init` Does
+
+`thachvd-kit init` now supports both new and existing projects:
+
+- New project: enter context manually.
+- Existing project: choose scan mode or manual mode.
+- Scan mode: detect stack from the codebase, show evidence, then either accept detected values or review/edit them.
+
+Generated files:
+
+- `.agent/agents`
+- `.agent/rules`
+- `.agent/skills`
+- `.agent/workflows`
+- `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`
+- `CLAUDE.md`
+- `AI_CONTEXT_REFINEMENT.md` when first-session AI refinement is enabled
+
+## Scan Behavior
+
+The scanner is hybrid and practical:
+
+- App stack detection uses an inferred `app_root` so nested apps like `src/` can still resolve Laravel, CakePHP, Next.js, and similar stacks correctly.
+- Infra detection stays repo-wide, so folders like `dev/`, `stg/`, `prod/` can still contribute Docker and CI evidence.
+- Noise folders such as `vendor`, `node_modules`, `.git`, `dist`, and `build` are ignored during recursive scan.
+
+The scan preview surfaces:
+
+- app root
+- project type
+- primary language
+- frameworks
+- database
+- package manager
+- test framework
+- cloud
+- infrastructure
+- CI/CD
+- evidence for each inferred framework
+
+## AI Refinement Flow
+
+`init` creates a baseline `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`.
+
+If you enable first-session AI refinement, the generated context is marked with:
+
+- `context.status: baseline`
+- `context.needs_ai_refinement: true`
+
+Then, when your agent opens the project, `GEMINI.md` / `CLAUDE.md` instruct it to:
+
+1. Read `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`
+2. Refine the context once if `needs_ai_refinement` is `true`
+3. Update the file to `context.status: refined`
+4. Set `context.needs_ai_refinement: false`
+
+This keeps `init` simple while still allowing a deeper AI pass without requiring API-key integration inside the CLI.
+
+## Skill Resolution
+
+The kit auto-loads generic and framework-specific skills based on detected context.
+
+Examples:
+
+- React -> `react-frontend`, `frontend-design`
+- Next.js -> `nextjs-react-expert`, `frontend-design`
+- Laravel -> `laravel-patterns`, `laravel-security`, `laravel-tdd`
+- Tauri -> `rust-pro`, `desktop-design`
+
+Generic quality skills such as `clean-code` and `systematic-debugging` are always included.
+
+## Directory Layout
+
+```text
+.agent/
+├── agents/
+├── rules/
+├── skills/
+└── workflows/
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- `thachvd-kit` is compatible with Codex workflows through `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` and `CLAUDE.md`; it does not directly control Codex sessions.
+- The npm package page updates only after a new `npm publish`, not just after pushing to GitHub.
