What this is

A wording-focused pass over the docs pages a new user hits first, plus a
follow-up smoothing the bring-your-own-tasks data-prep read. The goal was to
make the descriptions concise and friendly, without changing any technical
meaning, anchors, or code samples.

Commit 1 — new-user wording

Landing page (docs/index.md)

  • Tagline leads with what KSI does ("compares notes on what worked, distills
    the lessons…") instead of the "generational orchestration framework" label.
  • "Your own tasks" card: trailing fragment replaced with the plain benefit —
    "no dataset or loader code needed."
  • "Extending KSI" card: fragment rewritten as a concrete sentence — add a
    benchmark, evaluator, runtime, or improvement strategy with one register_*
    call each.

README intro

  • Phrasing polished to match the landing tagline.

Getting started (docs/getting-started.md)

  • Split the run-on sample-output note into shorter sentences.
  • Split the "Knowledge DB check" run-on so the reason both forums are off reads
    clearly.

FAQ (docs/faq.md)

  • "What is KSI in one sentence?" now answers in one sentence, detail moved to a
    short follow-up.
  • "What problem does it solve?" — de-jargoned.
  • "When should I NOT use this?" — paragraph-long inline list is now scannable
    bullets.

Commit 2 — bring-your-own-tasks data prep (docs/your_own_tasks.md)

  • Record schema: lead with what's required vs. optional, so the minimum is
    clear before the full annotated example.
  • repo/ contract: dropped internal "seam" jargon and simplified phrasing.
  • 12-file capture caveat: split the wall of text into two paragraphs,
    surfaced the 12-file number, and listed the skipped files cleanly.

Not touched

The deeper reference pages (architecture, improvement strategies, adding a
benchmark/evaluator) were left as-is — their density suits their audience.

No anchors, headings, links, or code blocks changed, so cross-page links stay
intact.

…and FAQ

Make the first-touch copy more concise and friendlier:
- Landing tagline and cards lead with what KSI does, not the framework label;
  drop wordy card fragments.
- README intro matches the landing tagline's phrasing.
- Getting started: split two run-on paragraphs (sample-output note, knowledge
  DB check) into shorter sentences.
- FAQ: answer "in one sentence" as one sentence, de-jargon the "what problem"
  answer, and turn the "when NOT to use" wall of text into a scannable list.
Make custom-task data prep easier to follow:
- Record schema: lead with what's required vs. optional so the minimum is
  clear before the full annotated example.
- repo/ contract: drop internal 'seam' jargon and simplify the phrasing.
- 12-file capture caveat: split the wall of text into two paragraphs, surface
  the 12-file number, and list the skipped files cleanly.
