🚀 Getting Started

1. Read First

• COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md — What's delivered, workflow, next steps
• Each skill's SKILL.md — Purpose, inputs, outputs, examples

2. Understand Workflow

init → onboarding → {agronomo, calendario, layout, irrigazione} → 
{meteo-decisioni, fitopatologo} → orchestratore → weekly briefing

3. Next: Packaging & Testing

See COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md → "Next Steps" for:

• Phase 3: Testing (unit + integration)
• Phase 4: Packaging (→ .skill files)
• Phase 5: Distribution (ClawHub or local)
