I suggest a video on the README and breaking up that entire README into docs because it's too much content, then writing a much shorter README that gives people the answer they want coming into the page

As a heavy Claude user, I’ve seen many examples of what it will produce as a README, and they all look exactly like this.

It definitely could use some editing!

Yeah I tried to keep it chill but it went pretty wild w/ docs. I think I'll just ask it to go on a 50% diet and see what happens! Stay tuned. :)

Ozempic treatment complete. Should be 50% less annoying.

prompt> The docs are way to verbose and there's just too much content. The @readme.md and every doc in @docs/ needs to be trimmed down by ~50%. Please work hard, think hard, and work step by step, and file by file to make sure we have the best possible docs at about half the total size. Peace and love <3

I love Claude Code but I am extremely sick of slop readmes. Every time I notice I'm reading LLM output as a readme I feel punched in the gut. I didn't notice it with this project though.

I updated it a lot. First I had claude put it on a diet (get rid of 50% of the text) and then some manual editing. I'm a convert in hating LLM readme output. DIE DIE DIE :)

Just dropped another 300 lines by manually editing. Glad you called out this slop. Thanks!
