Restructures the README along the lines of microsandbox's (lean, visual, command-first) while keeping everything load-bearing: both product GIFs, the Monitor screenshot, the workflow code example, the mental-model loop, and the CLI cheat sheet.

README

  • Opens with the existing light/dark logo wordmarks as a banner, a centered tagline, and a centered badge row.
  • Six-bullet feature list, then a command-first Get started with a Requirements callout (Bun 1.3+).
  • Removed marketing-page content: the "When to use Smithers" table, the "Why not just let my agent orchestrate itself?" section, and the 100+ patterns marketing card. The docs landing page already carries the self-orchestration comparison nearly verbatim.
  • Fixed defects: the orphaned one-row <Loop> primitive table, the triple "former starters" repetition (one mention remains, in Examples), and the quickstart command that required a manual copy step first.
  • All commands stay in the canonical bunx smithers-orchestrator form (normalize-bunx gates this; bare smithers is a different npm package).

Docs

  • The "When to use Smithers" decision table moves to docs/guide/what-is-smithers.mdx (not in the llms manifest, so no bundle regen).

Gates

  • scripts/check-docs.mjs: the README needle set required the exact orphaned table row; it now requires the <Loop until=...> code example instead, still forbidding Ralph/Studio strings.
  • scripts/readme-contract.test.mjs: was stale (expected an image alt and a Loop form the README no longer had); realigned with the current content. Passes under bun test.
  • New CONTRIBUTING.md linked from the README: setup, CI gates, and the repo invariants.

pnpm check:docs exits 0.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Lean, command-first README: logo banner, centered badges, feature list,
requirements note, and a CLI cheat sheet. The when-to-use table moves to
guide/what-is-smithers; the self-orchestration comparison and the 100+
patterns card drop from the README (the docs landing already carries
them). Adds CONTRIBUTING.md, realigns the check-docs README needles, and
fixes the stale readme-contract test.
