+# Project: quotebot
+
+A simple quotes IRC bot for Libera.Chat (`irc.libera.chat`), default channel
+`#r.trees`. Standard-library Python 3 only — no third-party dependencies.
+Quotes are stored in a local SQLite DB and managed with in-channel `!` commands.
+
+## Working agreement
+
+- This is a git repo with `origin` on Forgejo at `https://git.rdx4.com/megaproxy/quotebot.git` (private). HTTPS auth uses the token in `~/.git-credentials` — pushes are non-interactive.
+- Commit after each logical change with a one-line imperative message; `git push` after each commit (or at minimum before ending the session).
+- Read `memory.md` at session start. Update it before ending the session.
+- Never commit secrets — see `.gitignore` and the rules in `~/claude/CLAUDE.md`.
+
+## Project-specific notes
+
+- **Runtime:** Python 3 stdlib only. Run with `python3 bot.py`. No venv, no pip.
+- **Config:** environment variables (see `config.example.env`). Defaults target
+  Libera + `#r.trees`. Real secrets (`IRC_NICKSERV_PASS`) stay in `config.env`,
+  which is gitignored — never commit it.
+- **Data:** `quotes.db` (SQLite) is created on first run and gitignored.
+- **No tests yet.** Syntax check with `python3 -m py_compile bot.py`.
