+# JRNL
+
+A CLI tool for developers to automatically track work for daily standups using LLM-powered summaries.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Automatic Git Logging**: Captures commits via global git hooks
+- **LLM-Powered Summarization**: Compresses commit info into concise standup messages
+- **Multiple LLM Providers**: Support for Anthropic Claude and Ollama
+- **Manual Logging**: Add work items manually
+- **Daily Standup Generation**: Generate formatted standup messages from your work logs
+- **Per-Repository Control**: Opt-out specific repositories from tracking
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+./install.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Create a Python virtual environment at `~/.jrnl/venv`
+2. Install dependencies
+3. Initialize the SQLite database
+4. Create default configuration
+5. Optionally install global git hooks
+6. Install the `jrnl` CLI command to `~/.local/bin`
+
+## Configuration
+
+After installation, configure your LLM provider:
+
+```bash
+# For Anthropic Claude
+jrnl config set anthropic api_key YOUR_API_KEY
+
+# Or for Ollama (local)
+jrnl config set-provider ollama
+```
+
+Configuration file: `~/.jrnl/config.json`
+
+## Usage
+
+### Manual Logging
+
+```bash
+jrnl new -m "Had meeting with customer about the service"
+```
+
+### View Logs
+
+```bash
+# View recent logs
+jrnl logs
+
+# View logs from last N days
+jrnl logs --days 3
+```
+
+### Generate Daily Standup
+
+```bash
+# Generate standup from logs since last daily
+jrnl daily
+
+# Generate standup covering multiple days
+jrnl daily --days 2
+
+# Regenerate today's standup
+jrnl daily --regenerate
+```
+
+### Configuration Management
+
+```bash
+# Show current configuration
+jrnl config
+
+# Switch LLM provider
+jrnl config set-provider ollama
+
+# Set provider-specific settings
+jrnl config set anthropic model claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
+jrnl config set anthropic max_tokens_daily 1000
+```
+
+### Repository Exclusion
+
+```bash
+# Exclude current repository from tracking
+jrnl config exclude-current
+
+# Exclude specific repository
+jrnl config exclude /path/to/repo
+
+# Re-enable repository
+jrnl config include /path/to/repo
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Git Hooks**: When you make a commit, the post-commit hook captures the commit message and diff
+2. **LLM Compression**: The commit info is processed through your chosen LLM to create a concise summary
+3. **Database Storage**: Logs are stored in SQLite at `~/.jrnl/jrnl.db`
+4. **Daily Generation**: When you run `jrnl daily`, all logs since your last daily are sent to the LLM to generate a formatted standup message
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+~/.jrnl/                  # Application directory
+├── config.json           # Configuration
+├── jrnl.db              # SQLite database
+├── venv/                # Python virtual environment
+└── logs/                # Application logs
+```
+
+## Uninstallation
+
+```bash
+./uninstall.sh
+```
+
+Or from anywhere:
+
+```bash
+jrnl uninstall
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- Git
+- Anthropic API key (for Claude) or Ollama installation (for local models)
+
+## License
+
+MIT
+
+## Development
+
+The project follows a modular structure:
+
+- `jrnl/commands/` - CLI command implementations
+- `jrnl/database/` - Database layer with SQLite
+- `jrnl/llm_providers/` - LLM provider abstractions
+- `jrnl/git_integration/` - Git hook and commit processing
+- `jrnl/utils/` - Utility functions
+
+To run from source:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m jrnl --help
+```
