docs: rewrite README opening + add AGENTS.md dev commands (#122)
* docs(agents): add build/test/lint dev-command section

AGENTS.md (CLAUDE.md) covered architecture and invariants but had no
developer command surface — only runtime `omnigraph` CLI usage. Add a
concise "Build, test, lint" section with the non-obvious gotchas:

- crate dir `crates/omnigraph` is package `omnigraph-engine` (the `-p` name)
- canonical CI gate is `cargo test --workspace --locked`
- how to run one file / one fn
- feature-gated suites (`failpoints`, server `aws`)
- S3 tests skip without `OMNIGRAPH_S3_TEST_BUCKET`
- the two non-test CI checks (check-agents-md, OpenAPI drift)

* docs(readme): rewrite opening, dedupe, fix stale references

- New manifesto-style opening (tagline, X-as-code, features, core
  use cases, coordination-layer line); drop the old prose intro,
  Use Cases, and Capabilities sections.
- Remove Capabilities, which restated the new opening line-for-line.
- Harmonize heading case: "## Core Use Cases".
- Dedupe the verbatim Slack invite (kept the Community section) and
  the double-linked cli.md (kept the contextual pointer).
- Fix stale references that no longer match the code:
  - drop "transactional runs" / "and runs" — no run concept remains;
    writes are atomic per-query, multi-query workflows use branches.
  - update the CLI crate command list to canonical query/mutate plus
    commit/lint/optimize/cleanup.

**Lakehouse native graph engine built for context assembly**
Schema AS CODE
Context AS CODE
Security AS CODE
Dashboards AS CODE
Git-style snapshots & branching
Object storage native (S3, RustFS)
VPC, On-prem, hybrid deployment
Lance format as storage layer
## Core Use Cases
- Company brain
- Context graph
- Agentic memory
- Code & dev graph
- R&D data layer
- ML workflows
- Karpathy's LLM wiki
Omnigraph acts as operational state & coordination layer for agents
## Quick Install
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```
This installs `omnigraph` and `omnigraph-server` into `~/.local/bin` from
published release binaries.
Or install with Homebrew:
```bash
brew tap ModernRelay/tap
brew install ModernRelay/tap/omnigraph
```
For starter graphs and agent skills to bootstrap and operate Omnigraph, see [`ModernRelay/omnigraph-cookbooks`](https://github.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph-cookbooks).
## One-Command Local RustFS Bootstrap
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernRelay/omnigraph/main/scripts/local-rustfs-bootstrap.sh | bash
```
That bootstrap:
- starts RustFS on `127.0.0.1:9000`
- creates a bucket and S3-backed graph
- loads the checked-in context fixture
- launches `omnigraph-server` on `127.0.0.1:8080`
Docker must be installed and running first.
The RustFS bootstrap prefers the rolling `edge` binaries and only falls back to
source builds when release assets are unavailable.
If a previous run left objects under the same graph prefix but did not finish
initializing the graph, rerun with `RESET_REPO=1` or set `PREFIX` to a new
value.
## Common Commands
The same URI works for local paths, `s3://…`, or `http://host:port`.
```bash
omnigraph init --schema ./schema.pg ./graph.omni
omnigraph load --data ./data.jsonl ./graph.omni
omnigraph read --query ./queries.gq --name get_person --params '{"name":"Alice"}' ./graph.omni
omnigraph change --query ./queries.gq --name insert_person --params '{"name":"Mina"}' ./graph.omni
omnigraph branch create --from main feature-x ./graph.omni
omnigraph branch merge feature-x --into main ./graph.omni
```
See [docs/user/cli.md](docs/user/cli.md) for schema apply, snapshots, ingest, commits, and policy commands.
## Docs
- [Install guide](docs/user/install.md)
- [Deployment guide](docs/user/deployment.md)
## Build And Test
```bash
cargo build --workspace
cargo check --workspace
cargo test --workspace
```
Notes:
- Rust stable toolchain, edition 2024
- CI runs `cargo test --workspace --locked`
- Full CI and some local test flows require `protobuf-compiler`
- S3 integration tests expect an S3-compatible endpoint such as RustFS
## Workspace Crates
- `crates/omnigraph-compiler`: shared schema/query parser, typechecker, catalog, and IR lowering
- `crates/omnigraph`: storage/runtime, branching, merge, change detection, and query execution
- `crates/omnigraph-cli`: CLI for graph lifecycle (init/load/ingest), query/mutate, branch/commit/merge, schema/lint, snapshot/export, policy, and maintenance (optimize/cleanup)
- `crates/omnigraph-server`: Axum HTTP server for remote reads, changes, ingest, export, branches, and commits
## Contributing
Please open an issue, spec, or design discussion before sending large code
changes. Design feedback and concrete problem statements are the fastest way to
collaborate on the roadmap.
## Community
Join the [Omnigraph Slack community](https://join.slack.com/t/omnigraphworkspace/shared_invite/zt-3wfpglyxj-lHvJGhuySPfqLtN35uJZNw)
to ask questions, share feedback, and follow development.
