Documentation

README

Excerpt

/reckoning — Project Trajectory & Coherence Assessment

Analyze a project's MASTER_PLAN.md to understand the core of the project, the evolution of the idea, its development trajectory, whether the idea has evolved constructively or diverged from core intent, and produce an honest assessment in light of those findings.

Why this exists: The planner creates plans. The implementer follows them. The guardian protects them. Nobody evaluates whether the whole trajectory makes sense. The reckoning is the missing function — the project's honest self-exam. It tells you whether your project has a soul and whether that soul has been honored.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
