**Goal:** thousands of GitHub stars + millions of npm downloads.

## 🎯 Why This Will Work (Strategy Notes)

1. **Specific outcome over feature list** — "Every AI agent on your machine becomes smarter in 30 seconds" is more viral than "26 brain modules with TurboQuant compression."
2. **30-second install** — anyone reading the README can try it before they finish reading.
3. **Visual proof** — animated GIF of `attach-all` detecting 10 agents and lighting up green.
4. **Cross-tool framing** — "the missing layer between Claude Code, Cursor, Cline" hits people who use multiple tools (most power users).
5. **No-config positioning** — every launch keyword leans into "zero config" because friction kills adoption.
6. **Synchronized launch** — multi-channel within 4h creates the "I'm seeing this everywhere" effect that compounds.

## 📈 Success Metrics (track these)

- Day 1: 100+ stars, 1000+ HN points (front page), 50+ comments across channels
- Day 7: 1000+ stars, 10K+ npm downloads
