slopsmith-desktop had no CLAUDE.md, so an AI agent landing in this repo had no obvious starting point — README.md is install-focused (Windows/macOS/Linux download instructions) and wouldn't lead an agent to docs/. Adding a brief root-level guide that: - Orients the agent on what this repo is vs the sister byrongamatos/slopsmith repo (audio engine + Electron shell here; library + chart parsing + visualization there) - Indexes docs/ contents - Cross-links the slopsmith-side docs that describe what consumes the IPC surface this engine exposes - Captures the threading invariants, build-flag list, common gotchas (audio rebuild lock, ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, port 18000) in one place rather than scattered across CLAUDE.md fragments in the dev workspace Modelled on slopsmith/CLAUDE.md's style — technical-but- conversational, ATX headings, file paths in backticks, link-heavy. Keeps the new audio-engine-architecture.md as the canonical deep- dive; this file is a navigation hub.
