-# Automaker
-
-Automaker is an autonomous AI development studio that helps you build software faster using AI-powered agents. It provides a visual Kanban board interface to manage features, automatically assigns AI agents to implement them, and tracks progress through an intuitive workflow from backlog to verified completion.

-## Getting Started
-
-**Step 1:** Clone this repository:
-
-```bash
-git clone git@github.com:AutoMaker-Org/automaker.git
-cd automaker
-```
-
-**Step 2:** Install dependencies:
-
-```bash
-npm install
-```
-
-### Windows notes (in-app Claude auth)
-
-- Node.js 22.x
-- Prebuilt PTY is bundled; Visual Studio build tools are not required for Claude auth.
-- If you prefer the external terminal flow, set `CLAUDE_AUTH_DISABLE_PTY=1`.
-- If you later add native modules beyond the prebuilt PTY, you may still need VS Build Tools + Python to rebuild those.
-
-**Step 3:** Run the Claude Code setup token command:
-
-```bash
-claude setup-token
-```
-
-> **β οΈ Warning:** This command will print your token to your terminal. Be careful if you're streaming or sharing your screen, as the token will be visible to anyone watching.
-
-**Step 4:** Export the Claude Code OAuth token in your shell:
-
-```bash
-export CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN="your-token-here"
-```
-
-**Step 5:** Start the development server:
-
-```bash
-npm run dev:electron
-```
-
-This will start both the Next.js development server and the Electron application.
-
-### Auth smoke test (Windows)
-
-1. Ensure dependencies are installed (prebuilt pty is included).
-2. Run `npm run dev:electron` and open the Setup modal.
-3. Click Start on Claude auth; watch the embedded terminal stream logs.
-4. Successful runs show βToken captured automatically.β; otherwise copy/paste the token from the log.
-5. Optional: `node --test tests/claude-cli-detector.test.js` to verify token parsing.
-
-**Step 6:** MOST IMPORTANT: Run the Following after all is setup
-
-```bash
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-echo "W"
-```
