-- **README brought in line with the org repo standard** (`repo-standard` gate, 0 ERROR). Documentation only — no plugin code, version, or behaviour changed. H1 is now the repo name; the opening line is verbatim the forge description (so description == catalog == README is machine-checkable); `## Install` is a top-level heading on the first screen and carries the CLI command `claude plugin install graceful-handoff@ktg-plugin-marketplace` next to `marketplace add`; `## Non-goals` and `## Changelog` sections added.
-- **Dropped the static `tests-30` badge.** This forge has no CI runner, so the badge asserted a run nothing verifies. The Testing section now states the command and says plainly that nothing runs it automatically. Note for the catalog: the tests axis no longer has a badge backing it.
-- **Fixed two dead `../../README.md` references** inherited from the monorepo (README lines 7 and the marketplace footer) — both pointed outside a standalone repo and 404'd.

+# Graceful Handoff Plugin for Claude Code
 
-One-command session handoff into the STATE.md continuity system. Overwrites the nearest STATE.md with a complete state-of-play and commits per remote policy.
+> One command to end a session cleanly and hand it to the next one — `/graceful-handoff` reaches a natural stopping point and overwrites the nearest `STATE.md` with a complete, self-standing state-of-play.
 
 > **Solo-maintained, fork-and-own.** This plugin is a starting point, not a vendor product. Issues are welcome as signals; pull requests are not accepted. See [GOVERNANCE.md](GOVERNANCE.md) for the full model and what upstream provides.

 A Claude Code plugin that makes session handoff a single deliberate command, fully integrated with a `STATE.md`-based continuity system. When a session is filling up — or you simply want to stop — `/graceful-handoff` reaches a natural stopping point, **overwrites the nearest `STATE.md`** with where you are, the next concrete step, and what to read, then commits per your remote policy. The next session reads that `STATE.md` and stands on its own.

-## Non-goals
-
-What this plugin deliberately does *not* do — read this before adopting it:
-
-- **It never triggers itself.** No hooks, no Stop auto-trigger, no context-percentage threshold. If you want a handoff written automatically when a session fills up, this is the wrong plugin — v2 did that and v3 removed it on purpose.
-- **It does not read `STATE.md` back.** Injecting the nearest `STATE.md` at session start is the job of a global `session-start.sh` hook you own. This plugin only writes.
-- **It does not push.** The helper has no push path at all; pushing stays a separate, user-triggered step.
-- **It is not a general-purpose commit tool.** `--commit` stages `STATE.md` plus explicitly named `--also` paths, and nothing else. Unrelated dirty files stay dirty — by design.
-- **It does not edit `MEMORY.md` or `CLAUDE.md`.** It warns when `MEMORY.md` grows past 200 lines; the edit is yours.
-- **It does not publish anything.** `STATE.md` is internal state-of-play, never a public artifact — on a public remote it stays gitignored and uncommitted.

 ## The Problem
 
 Long sessions fill the context window. The classic failure mode is summarizing, committing, and writing a continuation prompt under time pressure — or skipping steps and losing continuity. Earlier versions of this plugin attacked that with auto-trigger hooks that wrote a separate `NEXT-SESSION-PROMPT` artifact.
