+> **Reasonix 1.0 is a ground-up rewrite in Go** — this branch (`main-v2`) is the new default and where development happens now.
+> The earlier `0.x` TypeScript releases are **legacy**, living on the [`v1`](https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix/tree/v1) branch (maintenance only).
+> See the **[migration guide](./docs/MIGRATING.md)**. `npm i -g reasonix` stays the install command — `1.0.0`+ delivers the Go binary, `0.x` is the legacy TS build.

A DeepSeek-native AI coding agent for your terminal.
+
A config- and plugin-driven harness — a single static Go binary, tuned around DeepSeek's prefix cache so token costs stay low across long sessions.

+## Features
+
+- **Config-driven.** Providers, the agent, enabled tools, and plugins are all
+ declared in `reasonix.toml`. No hardcoded models.
+- **Multi-model & composable.** DeepSeek ships as a preset; any
+ OpenAI-compatible endpoint is a config entry, not new code. Optionally run
+ two models together (executor + planner) in separate, cache-stable sessions.
+- **Plugin-driven.** External tools run as subprocesses over stdio JSON-RPC
+ (MCP-compatible). Built-in tools self-register at compile time.
+- **Cache-aware context maintenance.** Startup injects a small stable environment
+ summary, stale tool output is snipped/pruned before summary compaction, and the
+ built-in tool schema contract is documented for regression review.
+- **Zero-friction distribution.** `CGO_ENABLED=0` single binary; cross-compile
+ to six targets with one command. The only dependency is a TOML parser.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+npm i -g reasonix # any OS; pulls the prebuilt native binary
+brew install esengine/reasonix/reasonix # macOS
+```
+
+Prebuilt archives (`darwin|linux|windows × amd64|arm64`) and `SHA256SUMS` are on
+every [GitHub release](https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix/releases).
+
+### Code signing
+
+Windows builds are code-signed with a free certificate provided by the
+[SignPath Foundation](https://signpath.org/), with signing through
+[SignPath.io](https://signpath.io/).
+
+### Build from source
+
+```sh
+make build # -> bin/reasonix(.exe)
+make cross # -> dist/ (darwin|linux|windows × amd64|arm64)
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```sh
+reasonix setup # config wizard → ./reasonix.toml
+export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-... # or let setup save it to Reasonix home .env
+reasonix # then run /init to generate AGENTS.md (project memory)
+reasonix run "implement the TODOs in main.go"
+reasonix run --model deepseek-pro "add unit tests for this function"
+echo "explain this code" | reasonix run
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+A minimal `reasonix.toml` — one provider and a default model — is enough to start:
+
+```toml
+default_model = "deepseek-flash"
+
+[[providers]]
+name = "deepseek-flash"
+kind = "openai"
+base_url = "https://api.deepseek.com"
+model = "deepseek-v4-flash"
+api_key_env = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"
+```
+
+Resolution order is **flag > `./reasonix.toml` > the user config file >
+built-in defaults**; starting with **Reasonix v1.8.1**, the user file lives at
+`~/.reasonix/config.toml` on macOS/Linux and
+`%AppData%\reasonix\config.toml` on Windows. See
+**[Configuration paths](./docs/CONFIG_PATHS.md)** for migration details and the
+full `config.toml` / `.env` structure. Provider entries name secrets with
+`api_key_env`; the secret values themselves live in Reasonix's global
+`/.env`, shared by CLI and desktop. Project `.env` files are not
+provider-key runtime fallbacks, but still feed workspace-scoped, non-provider
+`${VAR}` expansion for MCP/plugin settings without importing Reasonix control
+variables. Permissions, the sandbox, plugins (MCP), slash
+commands, `@` references, and two-model setup are all in the
+**[Guide](./docs/GUIDE.md)**.
+
+## Documentation
+
+- **[Guide](./docs/GUIDE.md)** — configuration, permissions & sandbox, plugins
+ (MCP), slash commands, `@` references, two-model collaboration.
+- **[Subagent profiles](./docs/SUBAGENT_PROFILES.md)** — create, share, preview,
+ run, edit, and safely delete isolated agent profiles from desktop or CLI.
+- **[Capability diagnostics](./docs/CAPABILITY_DIAGNOSTICS.md)** —
+ `reasonix doctor capabilities`, desktop Settings → Diagnostics, and the
+ `/reasonix-guide` skill for skills/hooks/MCP/plugin troubleshooting.
+- **[Bot guide](./docs/BOT_GUIDE.md)** — connect Feishu, Lark, and WeChat bots
+ from the desktop app, then use approvals, YOLO, and commands from IM.
+- **[Spec](./docs/SPEC.md)** — engineering contract: architecture, registries,
+ data types, and roadmap.
+- **[Task contracts & pause policy](./docs/TASK_CONTRACT.md)** — structure
+ complex requests with context, output boundaries, constraints, and when to ask.
+- **[Tool contract](./docs/TOOL_CONTRACT.md)** — provider-visible built-in tool
+ names, read-only flags, and schema snapshot guard.
+- **[Migrating from 0.x](./docs/MIGRATING.md)** — moving from the legacy
+ TypeScript releases to the 1.0 Go rewrite.
+- **[Checkpoints & rewind](./docs/CHECKPOINTS.md)** — the snapshot-based edit
+ safety net (Esc-Esc / `/rewind`).
