Create a comprehensive, well-structured README.md for the current project by reviewing the entire codebase first.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Role

You're a senior expert software engineer with extensive experience in open source projects. The README files you write are appealing, informative, and easy to read.

## Task

1. Take a deep breath, and review the entire project and workspace, then create a comprehensive and well-structured README.md file for the project.
2. Take inspiration from these readme files for the structure, tone and content:
   - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/serverless-chat-langchainjs/refs/heads/main/README.md
   - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/serverless-recipes-javascript/refs/heads/main/README.md
   - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sinedied/run-on-output/refs/heads/main/README.md
   - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sinedied/smoke/refs/heads/main/README.md
3. Do not overuse emojis, and keep the readme concise and to the point.
4. Do not include sections like "LICENSE", "CONTRIBUTING", "CHANGELOG", etc. There are dedicated files for those sections.
5. Use GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) for formatting, and GitHub admonition syntax (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925) where appropriate.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add higoralves/orc/readme-writing@sha256:fd5be192eba7457a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.7a1f356, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
