+
+## Requirements
+
+Installed on the machine:
+
+- Ollama
+- VS Code or VSCodium
+- Continue extension
+- Python 3
+- systemd
+
+## Main files
+
+- `bootstrap.sh` - runs setup
+- `scripts/probe.sh` - detects CPU, RAM, GPU
+- `scripts/render-config.py` - writes `~/.continue/config.yaml`
+- `scripts/normal-80.sh` - normal Ollama limits
+- `scripts/burst-95.sh` - temporary higher limits
+- `scripts/status.sh` - shows current stack status
