Research direction

Start with README.md and the existing CONTRIBUTING.md and docs site linked from the project, then check the one-command setup, GitHub Project roadmap, CI, license, and latest release for accurate links and details. Rewrite the README for first-time readers with the listed overview, demo, quick start, feature and architecture sections, status, contribution links, credits, and badges; it is done when readers can understand and try the project and find help within a minute.

Description

type: docs

Goal

Rewrite README.md for people who have never heard of the project.

Contents

  • One-paragraph pitch and a screenshot or short demo of a review comment.
  • What it does and does not do (GitHub only for now, PR-Agent engine, bring your own LLM key).
  • Quick start (link to the one-command setup) and a link to the docs site.
  • Feature overview: automatic reviews, comment commands, web UI, projects and settings.
  • Architecture in a few lines and a diagram.
  • Status (beta), roadmap link (GitHub Project), how to contribute, license, and credits for PR-Agent.
  • Badges: CI, license, latest release.

Acceptance criteria

A reader understands what the project is, how to try it, and where to ask for help within a minute. Developer-only details move to CONTRIBUTING.md and the docs.
