# Reado

Lets the Claude agent pick up the tasks you left as comments in Reado and work through them while you watch the diff.

## What it does

Reado is an editor aimed at reading code rather than typing it. Its MCP server exposes the review side of your project to an agent: open comment tasks, the comments themselves, and the line ranges they are pinned to. The agent walks those tasks, pulls in docs and specs, and takes them one at a time. Comments sit as plain Markdown inside `.reado/` next to your code, so they travel with the repository.

Each comment has a type — bug, refactor, performance, question, note. It is anchored to a range of lines and follows them when the code shifts; when the lines go away, the comment becomes an orphan instead of quietly landing somewhere wrong. So the loop is: you mark up a diff, the agent resolves each item through the `reado` CLI and MCP server, then you check what changed.

You need the Reado app itself running with a project open. Without it the server has nothing to serve. Setting it up for an MCP client from the supported list comes down to that client's own configuration.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Install**
- The MCP registry has no launch command for it: see the repository README

## When to use it
- hand the agent a list of diff remarks with their exact line anchors
- split a review into typed tasks such as bug or refactor
- spot which files changed since you last read them
- keep a comment attached after the surrounding code moves
- give the agent the project docs and specs in one searchable place

## Example prompts
- List the open tasks in `.reado/` and start with the riskiest one
- Resolve the bug task on `parser.ts` and show me the diff
- What changed in this file since I last read it?
