Documentation & Handoff Rediness

[braydonlowe]

As a stakeholder (or future maintainer), I want clear project documentation so that I can understand, run, and evaluate the system without tribal knowledge.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Repository contains a complete and up-to-date README.md
• A new contributor can:
  - Understand what the system does
  - Set it up locally or on EC2
  - Run the chat UI and MCP integration
• Documentation reflects the current achitecture, not past assumptions (if any)
• Demo steps are clearly documented

Technical Tasks:

• README Content

  • Write high-level project overview and goals
  • Document system architecture (UI -> MCP -> Tools)
  • Describe agentic behavior and dynamic skills concept
  • List major technologies used (React/Next., MCP, etc)

• Setup and Usage

  • Document prerequisites (Node versions, env vars, EC2 assumptions)
  • Add setup instructions for frontend
  • Document how the UI connects to the MCP server
  • Include example .env configuration (no secrets)

• Demo & Evaluation

  • Add step-by-step scripted demo instructions
  • Document expected outputs and tool behavior
  • Include screenshots or ASCII diagrams (which honestly are optional but would be kinda cool)

• Maintenance Notes

  • Explain how to add new skills via /skills
  • Document known limitations or future work
  • Add troubleshooting section for common issues.
