+# cl-tty — Terminal UI Framework for Common Lisp
 
-* cl-tty
+Pure CL terminal UI framework. No ncurses, no FFI, no external dependencies.
 
-A reusable Common Lisp framework for building rich terminal user interfaces.
-Built on croatoan (ncurses) with Yoga for Flexbox layout. Provides a component
-tree model with dirty-tracking, incremental rendering, layered keybinding,
-theme engine, and full mouse support — the primitives needed to match the TUI
-quality of Claude Code and OpenCode from Common Lisp.
-
-** Why
-
-Common Lisp has no reusable terminal UI framework at the level of Python's
-Rich/prompt_toolkit or Go's Bubble Tea. Every CL project that wants a
-terminal UI either builds ncurses from scratch or uses a text-only REPL.
-cl-tty fills that gap — a component library with Flexbox layout, semantic
-theming, layered keybinding, and full mouse support. Build a terminal UI once,
-reuse it everywhere.
-
-Terminal UIs also work over SSH. A Qt or browser-based UI requires a local
-display. A cl-tty application runs remotely — same code, same components,
-accessible from anywhere.
-
-** Architecture
-
-```
-Application code (any CL project)
-  └── cl-tty (layout, components, theme, events, dialogs)
-       └── Yoga (Flexbox layout — C library via FFI)
-       └── croatoan (ncurses terminal rendering)
+```lisp
+(ql:quickload :cl-tty)
 ```
 
-cl-tty depends only on croatoan and Yoga. It is not tied to any application.
+## Quick start
 
-** Dependencies
+```lisp
+;; Create a modern terminal backend
+(let ((backend (make-instance 'cl-tty.backend:modern-backend)))
+  (cl-tty.backend:initialize-backend backend)
+  ;; Backend is ready — write text, draw boxes, handle input
+  (cl-tty.backend:shutdown-backend backend))
+```
 
-- Common Lisp (SBCL tested)
-- croatoan — ncurses binding for terminal rendering
-- Yoga — Flexbox layout engine (C library, loaded via CFFI)
-- Quicklisp libraries as needed (ironclad for hashing, bordeaux-threads)
+## Architecture
 
-** Status
+Two backends, one protocol:
 
-v0.1.0 — Layout engine (in progress)
+- **modern-backend** — truecolor 24-bit, OSC 8 hyperlinks, DECICM sync,
+  SGR mouse, kitty keyboard, bold/italic/underline, box-drawing chars
+- **simple-backend** — ASCII art, no color, universal compatibility
 
-See ~docs/ROADMAP.org~ for the full release plan.
+Everything is pure escape sequences (no curses, no terminfo, no FFI).

+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+sbcl --script run-all-tests.lisp
+
+# Tangle org files
+emacs --batch --eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"org/FILE.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))"
+```
+
+Literate programming: `.org` files in `org/` are the source of truth.
+`.lisp` files are generated by tangling.
