+# Tinker Agent
+
+Run Tinker agents in any Docker container with Ruby.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Create `Dockerfile.sandbox` in your project root (copy your existing Dockerfile).
+2. Add the following lines to `Dockerfile.sandbox`:
+
+```dockerfile
+# --- TINKER AGENT SETUP ---
+ARG TINKER_VERSION=main
+RUN curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoM4iK/tinker-public/${TINKER_VERSION}/bin/install-agent.sh | bash
+
+ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]
+CMD ["bash", "-c", "curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoM4iK/tinker-public/${TINKER_VERSION:-main}/setup-agent.rb | ruby"]
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+npx tinker-agent worker
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `AGENT_TYPE` | ✅ | `worker`, `planner`, `reviewer`, `orchestrator`, or `researcher` |
+| `PROJECT_ID` | ✅ | Your Tinker project ID |
+| `RAILS_WS_URL` | ✅ | WebSocket URL for agent communication |
+| `RAILS_API_URL` | | API URL for MCP tools |
+| `RAILS_API_KEY` | | MCP API key (get from Tinker dashboard) |
+| `GH_TOKEN` | | GitHub token for git operations |
+
+## Agent Types
+
+| Type | Mode | Purpose |
+|------|------|---------|
+| `planner` | Interactive | Chat with human, create tickets |
+| `worker` | Autonomous | Implement tickets, create PRs |
+| `reviewer` | Autonomous | Review PRs, approve/reject |
+| `orchestrator` | Autonomous | Assign work to agents |
+| `researcher` | Autonomous | Analyze codebase, document findings |
+
+## What the Script Does
+
+1. **Validates requirements** - Checks for Ruby, Node, tmux, git, claude CLI
+2. **Creates `.mcp.json`** - Configures MCP tools for the agent type
+3. **Creates `CLAUDE.md`** - Role-specific instructions Claude sees on startup
+4. **Sets up GitHub auth** - Configures `gh` CLI with your token
+5. **Downloads agent-bridge** - Binary that connects to Tinker via WebSocket
+6. **Starts tmux session** - With status bar showing connection state
+
+## Example: Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  tinker-worker:
+    image: ruby:3.4-slim
+    environment:
+      - AGENT_TYPE=worker
+      - PROJECT_ID=1
+      - RAILS_WS_URL=wss://tinker.example.com/cable
+      - RAILS_API_URL=https://tinker.example.com/api/v1
+      - RAILS_API_KEY=${WORKER_MCP_KEY}
+      - GH_TOKEN=${GITHUB_TOKEN}
+    volumes:
+      - ./:/app
+      - ~/.claude.json:/root/.claude.json:ro
+    working_dir: /app
+    command: >
+      bash -c "
+        curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoM4iK/tinker-public/main/bin/install-agent.sh | bash &&
+        curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoM4iK/tinker-public/main/setup-agent.rb | ruby
+      "
+```
+
+## Attaching to Running Agent
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it <container> tmux attach -t agent-wrapper
+```
+
+Press `Ctrl+B` then `D` to detach.
