From 2932d5443c13bcc9a2453b33a7fe48a4a00b4fde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: CCDevelopForFun Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:20:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: trim the README and relocate its reference material MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The README had grown to 369 lines / 2545 words and read as a reference manual. Now 205 lines / ~1200 words, with nothing lost — the removed material moved to files that either already existed or now do. The largest single problem was that adapter selection and prerequisites were restated across 17 lines in 8 places (tagline, intent paragraph, quick-start comments, npm-install comments, SVG alt text, architecture prose, the ADL field table, and the chat section), each carrying its own copy of "needs X on PATH". Those collapse into one Adapters table that is now the single source of truth. The intent paragraph also enumerated every per-adapter exception in 205 words, duplicating the capability matrix it linked to; it now defers to the matrix. Relocated rather than deleted: - serve flags, endpoints, and client example -> new docs/serve.md - the 14-row examples table -> new examples/README.md, which the directory previously lacked, expanded to cover all 19 entries (the old table missed serve-test.yaml, with-installs.yaml, and the bindings/schedulers detail) - the release-history table and its v0.1.x details block -> CHANGELOG.md, which already documents every tag from v0.1.0 to v0.8.0 - the repo-layout table -> AGENTS.md, which carries the same table Also fixes six inaccuracies found while reading it, four of them omissions from the claude-adapter work: runtime-claude was missing from the repo layout, the source-clone build, and the e2e ADAPTER list, and --resume was documented as "Pi + opencode + codex" despite claude supporting it. The MCP section also stated the Pi-only .pi/mcp.json mechanism as though it were general. --- README.md | 351 ++++++++++++--------------------------------- docs/serve.md | 59 ++++++++ examples/README.md | 48 +++++++ 3 files changed, 202 insertions(+), 256 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/serve.md create mode 100644 examples/README.md diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 4c73c0d..c122bec 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,43 +1,32 @@ # Agent Controller -> **Declarative runtime for AI agents.** Define agents in YAML (ADL — Agent Definition Language).

A spec that sticks to the cross-adapter feature set (persona, skills, MCP servers, guardrails) runs on the Pi, opencode, codex, or claude adapter by changing one field — `runtime.type`. Specs that use Pi-only capabilities (custom Pi-extension tools like `get_time`, `spec.extensions[]`) are Pi-only — opencode, codex, and claude reject them at startup. `spec.subagents[]` works on Pi, opencode, and claude, but is rejected by codex.
