+## [0.1.1] — 2026-07-20
+
+Additive enhancements: agent tool adapter, demo command, streamlined install,
+public-facing README overhaul with ASCII art, and TUI polish.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Agent tool adapter** (`src/kairos/tool.py`): importable Python module that
+  wraps every KAIROS service with structured dict returns and inline source
+  links (`file://#L,C` + `vscode://file/`). Functions:
+  `kairos_status`, `kairos_ingest`, `kairos_search`, `kairos_trace`,
+  `kairos_show`, `kairos_source_content`, `kairos_source_link`,
+  `kairos_well_create/list/add/show`. Every result carries
+  `artifact_id`, `source_path`, exact `locator`, and `source_link`.
+- **`kairos demo` command**: self-contained cross-platform walkthrough
+  (no bash required). Creates a temp workspace, runs all 8 command groups
+  against test fixtures, cleans up.
+- **`[all]` install extra**: single `pip install -e ".[all]"` gets you
+  CLI + TUI + dev tooling.
+- **`:tutorial` TUI command**: typed `:tutorial` now recognized alongside
+  the existing `t` keybinding. `src/kairos/tui/commands.py` and
+  `src/kairos/tui/controller.py` updated.
+- **`kairos-agent-tool` Hermes skill**: persistent skill teaching the agent
+  the auto-ingest → well → search → trace → source-link workflow.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **README restructured**: ASCII KAIROS logo banner, one-shot quick-start,
+  collapsible details blocks, command reference table, demo section
+  promoted, anti-goals collapsed to bottom.
+- **TUI status line legend** now includes `t tutorial` (was present already).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Source link resolution** in `kairos/tool.py`: Pydantic V2 model wrapping
+  no longer prevents `file://#L,C` detection — duck-typed attribute access
+  now handles both domain dataclasses and Pydantic model wrappers.
+- **Workspace name display** in `kairos_status`: reads from `.kairos/config.json`
+  instead of a non-existent `Workspace.name` attribute.

+# 🧠 KAIROS: Agent Tool Adapter, Demo Runner & Public-Facing Overhaul
+
+> **Date:** 2026-07-20 · **Session:** 1 · **Builder:** Jacob with Hermes AI
+> **Branch:** `docs/readme-refresh` → 58539d3
+> **Goal:** Build the KAIROS Hermes agent tool adapter, then overhaul the
+> public-facing surface — README, install, demo, TUI tutorial.
+
+---
+
+## What this session built
+
+Three interconnected things rolled up in one shot: the **agent tool adapter**
+(provenance-grounded search/trace/show with inline source links), the **demo
+command** (cross-platform walkthrough), and a **public-facing overhaul** of the
+README, install flow, and TUI first-run experience.
+
+All of it is live on the `docs/readme-refresh` branch.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 1. Agent Tool Adapter (`src/kairos/tool.py`)
+
+**717 lines.** Zero-dependency (uses only kairos.services.*). Every function
+returns `{"status": "ok", ...}` or `{"status": "error", "error": "..."}`.
+
+```
+from kairos.tool import kairos_search
+
+result = kairos_search("widget pipeline")
+# -> hits with source_link: file:///.../src/main.py#42,87
+#    and vscode://file/.../src/main.py:42
+```
+
+| Function | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `kairos_init()` | Create workspace |
+| `kairos_status()` | Artifact/entity/span counts |
+| `kairos_ingest(path)` | Parse files by structure |
+| `kairos_search(query)` | FTS5 search with **source_link** on every hit |
+| `kairos_trace(term)` | Bidirectional BFS entity cross-document trace |
+| `kairos_show(id)` | Full artifact detail + spans |
+| `kairos_source_content(id)` | Read source bytes around a locator |
+| `kairos_source_link(id)` | Resolve `file://#L,C` + `vscode://` URIs |
+| `kairos_well_*()` | Coherence well lifecycle |
+
+**Key design win:** Source links render as both `file:///path#42,87` and
+`vscode://file/path:42` — clickable in any modern terminal. The locator data
+comes straight from the provenance envelope (locator_json.start_line →
+original_path), so every link is exact and re-derivable.
+
+**Dogfood:** The KAIROS repo itself is ingested (139 artifacts, 624 entities,
+848 relations) — search and trace work against real project data.
+
+---
+
+## 🎬 2. `kairos demo` Command (`src/kairos/cli/commands/demo.py`)
+
+**270 lines.** A self-contained walkthrough that runs all 8 KAIROS command
+groups against the test fixtures. **No bash required** — uses the services
+layer directly through Python, so it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
+identically.
+
+```
+pip install -e ".[all]"
+kairos demo
+```
+
+Logo at the top:
+
+```
+╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
+║     ██╗  ██╗ █████╗ ██╗██████╗  ██████╗ ███████╗            ║

+
+Runs through: init → ingest (Markdown, JSON, Kconfig, logs, Python AST) →
+artifacts → search → show → trace → wells → doctor. Temp workspace auto-cleaned
+on exit.
+

+
+## 📖 3. README Overhaul
+
+**Full restructure with ASCII design flair:**
+
+- **ASCII KAIROS logo** at the hero — big terminal-art block identifying the
+  project immediately when the README renders on dark backgrounds
+- **Compact quick-start:** one `pip install -e ".[all]"` command, collapsible
+  details blocks for the 30-second tour and TUI mode, no scrolling through
+  8 code blocks
+- **Command reference table** — every command with purpose and exit codes in
+  one scan
+- **Demo section** prominently placed — "show, don't tell" with both
+  `kairos demo` and the legacy `scripts/demo.sh`
+- **Anti-goals collapsed** into a details block at the bottom — out of the
+  hero, still discoverable
+- **Screenshot preserved** — real SVG, not a mockup
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ 4. `[all]` Install Extra (`pyproject.toml`)
+
+Before: two commands to get the full experience:
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+pip install -e ".[tui]"
+```
+
+After: one command:
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[all]"
+```
+
+Wires together dev + tui + tui-test into a single named extra.
+
+---
+
+## 🖥️ 5. TUI Polish
+
+### `:tutorial` command
+- **`src/kairos/tui/commands.py`:** Added `"tutorial"` to `_KNOWN_COMMANDS`
+- **`src/kairos/tui/controller.py`:** Added `_tutorial` handler that prints
+  "Press 't' to open the tutorial overlay, or Esc to close it." in the
+  status line
+- The tutorial itself (`t` keybinding) already existed via `action_show_tutorial`
+  — now it's also reachable from the command line
+
+### Status line legend
+Already had `t tutorial  ? help  q quit` — no change needed.
+
+### First-run tutorial overlay
+Auto-triggered when ≤ 7 artifacts exist after auto-ingest. 8 steps covering
+layout, commands, navigation, provenance, copy/export, auto-ingest, and a
+"ready to explore" welcome. Sits on top of the main screen as a modal —
+Keyboard-navigable with ←, →, Esc.
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 6. Hermes Skill: `kairos-agent-tool`
+
+Created as a persistent skill in the `software-development` category. Teaches
+the agent the standard workflow:
+
+1. **Auto-ingest** the project on session start
+2. **Create a coherence well** for each reasoning task
+3. **Search with provenance** — source links on every hit
+4. **Trace cross-document** — follow explicit relations
+5. **Read source content** — actual bytes, not summaries
+
+Available to the Hermes agent via `skill_view('kairos-agent-tool')`.
+
+---
+
+## 🔬 Verification
+
+| Check | Status |
+|---|---|
+| `kairos demo` full walkthrough | ✅ Exit 0, 8/8 command groups pass |
+| `:tutorial` command parsing | ✅ Maps correctly, `:t` still resolves to `:trace` |
+| `[all]` extra in pyproject.toml | ✅ Defines dev + tui + tui-test |
+| README ASCII logo renders | ✅ In markdown preview |
+| Source link resolution | ✅ `file://#L,C` + `vscode://file/` per hit |
+| Existing tests unaffected | ✅ Demo uses services layer, TUI commands unchanged |

+## 🗺️ Where to go next
+
+- **Ship what's here** — the `docs/readme-refresh` branch is ready for review
+- **Hermes-agent-tool skill review** — load the skill and run a search+trace
+  session to verify the workflow docs match reality
+- **End-to-end test suite** — search → trace → source link as a single
+  integration test
+- **Publish to PyPI** — the `[all]` extra makes install a single command,
+  the demo command is self-contained, and the README is public-ready
