fix(mcp): propagate OAuth config for runtime-added servers

- Store authHandler and tokenStoreFactory on Agent struct so
  AddMCPServer() can propagate them to new MCPToolManagers (#3)
- Add OAuthClientID, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthScopes fields to
  MCPServerConfig for servers without dynamic registration (#4)
- Pass OAuth fields from server config to transport OAuthConfig
  in both SSE and Streamable HTTP client creation paths
- Add GetAuthHandler() accessor to MCPToolManager
- Add tests for auth handler propagation and OAuth config parsing

Closes #3, closes #4

+
+Run the ACP smoke test to verify the Kit ACP server works correctly over JSON-RPC stdio with streaming responses.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Build the kit binary:
+   ```bash
+   go build -o output/kit ./cmd/kit
+   ```
+
+2. Run the smoke test Python script against opencode/kimi-k2.5:
+   ```bash
+   python3 scripts/acp_smoke_test.py
+   ```
+
+3. Verify the output shows:
+   - `session/new` returns a valid `sessionId`
+   - `session/prompt` streams `agent_thought_chunk` notifications (reasoning)
+   - `session/prompt` streams `agent_message_chunk` notifications (response)
+   - Final result has `stopReason: "end_turn"`
+   - `✓ SMOKE TEST PASSED` at the end
+
+4. If the test fails, check:
+   - `output/kit` binary exists and is executable
+   - `OPENCODE_API_KEY` or `OPENCODE_ZEN_API_KEY` environment variable is set
+   - `scripts/acp_smoke_test.py` exists
+   - The model `opencode/kimi-k2.5` is available (`kit models opencode | grep kimi-k2.5`)
+
+5. For testing with a different model, edit the script or set the `MODEL` variable:
+   ```bash
+   MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 python3 scripts/acp_smoke_test.py
+   ```
+
+The smoke test exercises the full ACP protocol: session lifecycle, streaming notifications, and tool-free prompt completion.

+Review the current git status and diff, then stage all changes, write a concise conventional commit message, commit, and push to the current branch.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Check status**: `git status` — understand what has changed
+2. **Review the diff**: `git diff` (and `git diff --cached` if anything is already staged) — read the actual changes
+3. **Stage everything**: `git add -A`
+4. **Craft the commit message** following Conventional Commits:
+   - Format: `<type>(<scope>): <short summary>`
+   - Types: `feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `chore`, `docs`, `test`, `perf`, `build`
+   - Scope: optional, the subsystem affected (e.g. `ui`, `cmd`, `config`)
+   - Summary: imperative mood, lowercase, no trailing period, ≤72 chars
+   - Body: add a blank line then bullet points for non-trivial changes
+   - Do **not** include "Generated by" or similar noise
+5. **Commit**: `git commit -m "<message>"`

+## Guidelines
+
+- Read the actual diff — do not guess from filenames alone
+- Prefer one well-scoped commit; do not split unless the changes are clearly unrelated
+- Keep the subject line under 72 characters
+- Use the body to explain *what* and *why*, not *how*

+## Feature Request Template
+
+This prompt uses the `feature_request` GitHub template which requires:
+
+| Field | Required | Purpose |
+|-------|----------|---------|
+| **Feature Description** | Yes | What should be added or changed |
+| **Motivation / Use Case** | Yes | Why is this needed? What problem does it solve? |
+| **Proposed Implementation** | No | How do you think this should work? |
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Understand the request** from `$@`
+   - What capability is missing?
+   - What would the ideal behavior look like?
+
+2. **Ask clarifying questions** if needed:
+   - "What problem does this solve for you?"
+   - "How would you expect this to work?"
+   - "Are there similar features in other tools you use?"
+
+3. **Craft the title** using conventional format:
+   - `feat: <short description>`
+   - Lowercase, imperative mood, ≤72 chars
+   - Good examples:
+     - `feat: add keyboard shortcut for clearing input`
+     - `feat: support custom themes per extension`
+     - `feat: add fuzzy matching to model selector`
+   - Bad examples:
+     - `Feature request: can we have...` (too vague)
+     - `It would be nice if...` (not imperative)
+
+4. **Build the body** with the template fields:
+
+   **Feature Description:**
+   - Clear statement of what to add/change
+   - Be specific about the behavior
+   - Include UI/UX details if relevant
+
+   **Motivation / Use Case:**
+   - What problem does this solve?
+   - Current workaround (if any) and why it's insufficient
+   - Who benefits from this feature?
+
+   **Proposed Implementation** (optional but helpful):
+   - High-level approach
+   - API changes if applicable
+   - Example usage code
+
+5. **Create the issue**:
+   ```bash
+   gh issue create --template feature_request --title "feat: ..." --body "..."
+   ```
+
+6. **Confirm success**:
+   - Show the issue URL and number
+   - Mention it was created with the feature_request template
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Focus on the *problem* first, then the solution
+- Include concrete examples of how the feature would be used
+- Consider edge cases and mention them
+- If proposing API changes, show before/after code
+- Check if similar features exist in related tools (mention them for reference)
+- Align with Kit's philosophy: TUI-first, extension-based, keyboard-driven

+User: `/feature-request I want to be able to customize tool border colors dynamically`
+
+You:
+1. Title: `feat: dynamic border colors for tool results based on status`
+2. Body:
+   - **Feature Description**: Allow `ToolRenderConfig` to accept a function that determines border color based on tool result content or status, enabling dynamic visual feedback.
+   - **Motivation**: When running multiple tools, it's hard to distinguish file reads (blue), shell commands (green), and errors (red) without custom colors per result.
+   - **Proposed Implementation**: Add `BorderColorFunc` callback that receives `(result string, isError bool)` and returns a color string.

+## Issue Templates Available
+
+This repository has structured issue templates. You MUST use the appropriate template:
+
+| Type | Template | Use For |
+|------|----------|---------|
+| `bug` | `bug_report` | Something is broken, not working as expected |
+| `feat` | `feature_request` | New feature, enhancement, improvement |
+| `docs` | `documentation` | Missing, incorrect, or unclear documentation |
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Determine the issue type** from `$@`:
+   - Bug → use `--template bug_report`
+   - Feature → use `--template feature_request`  
+   - Documentation → use `--template documentation`
+
+2. **Ask clarifying questions** if critical info is missing:
+   - For bugs: "What were you doing when this happened?" (reproduction steps)
+   - For features: "What problem does this solve?" (motivation)
+   - For docs: "Where did you look for this information?" (location)
+
+3. **Craft the title** using conventional format:
+   - `<type>: <short description>`
+   - Lowercase, imperative mood, ≤72 chars
+   - Examples:
+     - `fix: ToolRenderConfig BorderColor ignored during rendering`
+     - `feat: add keyboard shortcut for clearing input`
+     - `docs: clarify extension widget lifecycle`
+
+4. **File the issue** using the template:
+   ```bash
+   # For bugs
+   gh issue create --template bug_report --title "fix: ..." --body "..."
+   
+   # For features
+   gh issue create --template feature_request --title "feat: ..." --body "..."
+   
+   # For documentation
+   gh issue create --template documentation --title "docs: ..." --body "..."
+   ```
+
+   The template will guide the user through the required fields. You need to provide:
+   - **Bug reports**: Description, reproduction steps, expected vs actual behavior
+   - **Feature requests**: Description, motivation/use case, optional proposed implementation
+   - **Documentation**: Description, location of docs, suggested improvement
+
+5. **Confirm success** by showing:
+   - The issue URL
+   - The issue number
+   - Which template was used
+
+## Template Field Guide
+
+### Bug Report (`bug_report`)
+Required fields in the body:
+- **Bug Description** - what happened vs expected
+- **Steps to Reproduce** - numbered list to recreate the bug
+- **Relevant Code** - code snippets, configuration, error messages
+- **Component** - which part of Kit (ui, extensions, session, etc.)
+- **Version** - Kit version or commit hash
+
+### Feature Request (`feature_request`)
+Required fields in the body:
+- **Feature Description** - what to add/change
+- **Motivation / Use Case** - why this is needed
+- **Proposed Implementation** - how it could work (optional)
+
+### Documentation (`documentation`)
+Required fields in the body:
+- **Documentation Issue** - what's wrong or missing
+- **Documentation Location** - file or URL where docs exist
+- **Suggested Improvement** - how to fix the docs
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- ALWAYS use `--template <name>` instead of bare `gh issue create`
+- Include file paths and line numbers when you know them
+- Use triple backticks for code blocks
+- Keep the body factual - avoid speculation unless in "Proposed Fix" section
+- If you're unsure about technical details, say so in the issue
+- For UI bugs, describe what you see vs what you expect
+- For API bugs, include the relevant struct/function names
+
+## Example Usage
+
+User: `/file-issue The ToolRenderConfig BorderColor field is documented but never used in rendering`
+
+You: 
+1. Determine this is a **bug** (documented field doesn't work)
+2. Use `--template bug_report`
+3. Gather: reproduction steps (register renderer with BorderColor), expected (custom color), actual (default color)
+4. Create issue with title `fix: ToolRenderConfig BorderColor and Background fields are ignored`
+5. Confirm: Created issue #42 using bug_report template

+description: Scaffold a new prompt template in .kit/prompts/

+
+Create a new kit prompt template. The user wants a prompt that does: $@
+
+## What a prompt template is
+
+A prompt template is a `.md` file in `.kit/prompts/` (project-local) or `~/.kit/prompts/` (global).
+It becomes a `/slug` slash command in the kit input box — typed as `/filename` with optional arguments.
+
+## File format
+
+```
+---
+description: One-line description shown in autocomplete
+---
+
+Body text of the prompt. Use $@ for all user-supplied arguments,
+$1 $2 etc. for positional arguments.
+```
+
+- **Filename** → slug: `commit-push.md` becomes `/commit-push`
+- **Frontmatter**: only `description` is recognised; keep it under ~80 chars
+- **Body**: plain markdown; the full text is submitted as the user's message when the template fires
+- **Arguments**: `$@` expands to everything the user typed after the slash command name;
+  `$1`, `$2` for individual positional args; omit entirely if no arguments are needed
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Understand the workflow** the user described in `$@` — ask a clarifying question if the intent is ambiguous
+2. **Choose a filename**: short, lowercase, hyphen-separated, descriptive (e.g. `code-review.md`)
+3. **Write the description**: one sentence, imperative, fits in autocomplete
+4. **Draft the body**:
+   - Open with a single sentence stating the goal
+   - Use `## Steps` for multi-step workflows; use plain prose for simple prompts
+   - Be specific: name commands, flags, and file paths where relevant
+   - End with `$@` on its own line if the user might want to pass context or a hint; omit if the prompt is self-contained
+5. **Write the file** to `.kit/prompts/<slug>.md`
+6. **Confirm** by showing the final file content and the slash command that activates it
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Keep prompts action-oriented — they should tell kit *what to do*, not just *what to think about*
+- Prefer concrete steps over vague instructions
+- A prompt that does one thing well beats one that tries to cover every edge case
+- If the workflow already exists as a prompt, suggest extending it instead of duplicating

+---
+
+# Release Tagging Workflow
+
+Tag a new version of this Go project following semantic versioning.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Fetch remote tags**: `git fetch --tags origin`
+
+2. **Find latest version**: `git tag -l | sort -V | tail -5` to see recent tags
+
+3. **Analyze changes since last tag**:
+   - `git log <latest-tag>..HEAD --oneline` - list commits
+   - `git diff <latest-tag>..HEAD --stat` - see file stats
+   - `git diff <latest-tag>..HEAD --name-only` - see changed files
+
+4. **Determine version bump** (Semantic Versioning):
+   - **MAJOR (X.0.0)**: Breaking API changes, incompatible modifications
+   - **MINOR (0.X.0)**: New features, backward-compatible additions
+   - **PATCH (0.0.X)**: Bug fixes, backward-compatible fixes
+   
+   Look for indicators:
+   - `feat:` or `feature:` commits → MINOR
+   - `fix:` or `bugfix:` commits → PATCH
+   - `breaking:` or `BREAKING CHANGE:` → MAJOR
+   - Breaking API changes in `pkg/` or public interfaces → MAJOR
+   - New commands, flags, or features → MINOR
+   - Documentation-only changes → PATCH (or skip)
+
+5. **Calculate new version**: Increment appropriate segment, reset lower segments to 0
+
+6. **Draft tag message**:
+   - Summarize key changes from commits
+   - Group by type (Features, Fixes, Breaking Changes)
+   - Keep concise but informative
+
+7. **Create annotated tag**: `git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z - <summary>\n\n<detailed list>"`
+
+8. **Push tag**: `git push origin vX.Y.Z`
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Always fetch remote tags first to avoid conflicts
+- Use annotated tags (`-a`) with descriptive messages
+- Follow semver strictly - when in doubt, prefer conservative bump (patch over minor)
+- For Go projects, changes to `pkg/` or exported APIs warrant careful version consideration
+- If no changes since last tag, suggest skipping the release
+- Include commit summaries in the tag message body
+
+## Example Tag Message Format
+
+```
+v0.30.1 - Bug fixes for model handling and UI improvements
+
+Fixes:
+- Properly handle think tags from Qwen/DeepSeek models
+- Handle custom provider model persistence and bare model names
+
+Improvements:
+- UI style refactoring and cleanup
+```
+
+Wait for the user to confirm the version and message before executing tag commands.

+
+## Public SDK (`pkg/kit/`) Rules
+
+`pkg/kit/` is the **public API surface** consumed by external Go developers. All exported symbols, types, function names, and godoc comments in this package are part of the SDK contract.
+
+### No Dependency Name Leakage
+Internal dependency names (e.g. `charm.land/fantasy`, library-specific jargon) **must not** appear in:
+- **Exported function/method names** — use generic terms (`LLM`, `Provider`, `Message`) instead of library names
+- **Exported type names** — type aliases should use domain names (e.g. `LLMMessage`, not `FantasyMessage`)
+- **Godoc comments** on exported symbols — these are visible in `go doc` output and pkg.go.dev
+- **Struct field names and tags** on exported types
+
+Using dependency types directly in **function bodies** (private implementation) is fine — that's invisible to SDK consumers.
+
+### Naming Conventions for SDK Symbols
+- Type aliases re-exporting dependency types: use `LLM*` prefix (e.g. `LLMMessage`, `LLMUsage`, `LLMResponse`)
+- Conversion helpers: use `ConvertToLLM*` / `ConvertFromLLM*` (not the dependency name)
+- Provider queries: use `GetLLMProviders` (not `GetFantasyProviders`)
+- When wrapping internal methods, the `pkg/kit/` name should be dependency-agnostic even if the `internal/` method still uses the old name
+
+### Deprecation Pattern
+When renaming a public SDK symbol, keep the old name as a deprecated wrapper for one release cycle:
+```go
+// Deprecated: Use NewName instead.
+func OldName() { return NewName() }
+```

AUTOSCROLL_FIX_SUMMARY.md

@@ -0,0 +1,80 @@
+# Autoscroll Fix - Final Summary
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The autoscroll was failing for streaming assistant messages due to a bug in how `GotoBottom()` calculated item heights.
+
+### The Problem
+
+1. **Reasoning blocks** (`StreamingMessageItem` with `role="reasoning"`) are **never cached** because they have live duration counters that update every render
+2. The `Height()` method returns `0` when `cachedRender == ""`
+3. `GotoBottom()` was calling:
+   ```go
+   itemHeight := item.Height()  // Returns 0 for reasoning
+   if itemHeight == 0 {
+       item.Render(s.width)  // Renders but doesn't cache (reasoning)
+       itemHeight = item.Height()  // Still returns 0!
+   }
+   ```
+4. This caused incorrect scroll position calculations, especially during reasoning → assistant transitions
+
+## The Solution
+
+Changed `GotoBottom()` and `AtBottom()` to calculate height **directly from the rendered string** instead of relying on the cached height:
+
+```go
+// OLD: item.Height() which checks cached render
+itemHeight := item.Height()
+if itemHeight == 0 {
+    item.Render(s.width)
+    itemHeight = item.Height()  // Still might be 0!
+}
+
+// NEW: Calculate from rendered string directly
+rendered := item.Render(s.width)
+itemHeight := strings.Count(rendered, "\n") + 1
+```
+
+This works for **all** items regardless of whether they cache their render or not.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### `internal/ui/scrolllist.go`
+- **`GotoBottom()`**: Calculate height from rendered string (2 loops)
+- **`AtBottom()`**: Calculate height from rendered string (1 loop)
+
+### `internal/ui/model.go`
+- **`appendStreamingChunk()`**: For existing messages, call `GotoBottom()` directly (iteratr pattern)
+- **`refreshContent()`**: Simplified to only call `SetItems()` (removed redundant `GotoBottom()`)
+- **Bash streaming handler**: Removed redundant `GotoBottom()` after `refreshContent()`
+
+## Testing Results
+
+✅ **Test prompt**: "explore this repo"
+
+**Before fix**:
+- Autoscroll stopped after reasoning block completed
+- Viewport stuck showing end of reasoning ("Thought for 203ms")
+- Assistant response streamed off-screen below
+
+**After fix**:
+- Autoscroll works throughout reasoning block
+- Autoscroll continues during reasoning → assistant transition  
+- Viewport stays at bottom showing latest assistant content
+- Final position shows end of response (build commands section)
+
+## Behavior Verified
+
+1. ✅ Streaming text auto-scrolls to bottom
+2. ✅ Works across reasoning → assistant transition
+3. ✅ Manual scroll up (PgUp) disables autoscroll
+4. ✅ Scroll to bottom (Alt+End) re-enables autoscroll
+5. ✅ Accurate positioning with no offset errors
+
+## Performance Note
+
+The fix calls `Render()` on all items during `GotoBottom()` calculations. This is acceptable because:
+- `Render()` is already optimized with caching for non-reasoning items
+- `GotoBottom()` is only called during content updates (not every frame)
+- Reasoning blocks need to render anyway for live duration updates
+- This matches iteratr's approach of ensuring items are rendered before height calculations

+## Themes
+
+Kit ships with 22 built-in color themes that control all UI elements. Switch at runtime:
+
+```
+/theme dracula
+/theme catppuccin
+/theme tokyonight
+```
+
+Theme selections are automatically saved and restored on next launch (stored in `~/.config/kit/preferences.yml`). This persistence also applies to **model** and **thinking level** selections — all are saved together and restored on startup.
+
+### Custom themes
+
+Drop a `.yml` file in `~/.config/kit/themes/` (user) or `.kit/themes/` (project):
+
+```yaml
+# ~/.config/kit/themes/my-theme.yml
+primary:
+  light: "#8839ef"
+  dark: "#cba6f7"
+success:
+  light: "#40a02b"
+  dark: "#a6e3a1"
+```
+
+Built-in themes: `kitt`, `catppuccin`, `dracula`, `tokyonight`, `nord`, `gruvbox`, `monokai`, `solarized`, `github`, `one-dark`, `rose-pine`, `ayu`, `material`, `everforest`, `kanagawa`, `amoled`, `synthwave`, `vesper`, `flexoki`, `matrix`, `vercel`, `zenburn`

+### Testing Extensions
+
+Kit provides a testing package to help you write unit tests for your extensions:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "testing"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/extensions/test"
+    "github.com/mark3labs/kit/internal/extensions"
+)
+
+func TestMyExtension(t *testing.T) {
+    harness := test.New(t)
+    harness.LoadFile("my-ext.go")
+    
+    // Emit events and verify behavior
+    _, err := harness.Emit(extensions.SessionStartEvent{SessionID: "test"})
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("unexpected error: %v", err)
+    }
+    
+    // Verify the extension printed something
+    test.AssertPrinted(t, harness, "session started")
+}
+```
+
+**Available assertions:**
+- `AssertBlocked()`, `AssertNotBlocked()` — Verify tool blocking
+- `AssertWidgetSet()`, `AssertWidgetText()` — Verify widget content
+- `AssertPrinted()`, `AssertPrintedContains()` — Verify output
+- `AssertToolRegistered()`, `AssertCommandRegistered()` — Verify registration
+
+See `examples/extensions/tool-logger_test.go` for a complete example with 14 test cases covering tool calls, input handling, and session lifecycle.
+
+### Prompt Templates
+
+Create reusable prompt templates with shell-style argument substitution. Templates are loaded from `~/.kit/prompts/*.md` and `.kit/prompts/*.md`.
+
+**Example template** (`~/.kit/prompts/review.md`):
+```markdown
+---
+description: Review code for issues
+---
+Review the following code for bugs and security issues.
+Focus on $1 specifically.
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```
+/review error handling
+```
+
+**Argument placeholders:**
+- `$1`, `$2`, etc. — Individual arguments
+- `$@` or `$ARGUMENTS` — All arguments
+- `${@:2}` — Arguments from position 2 onwards
+- `${@:1:3}` — 3 arguments starting at position 1
+
+Disable templates with `--no-prompt-templates` or load a specific template with `--prompt-template <name>`.
+
 ## Session Management
 
 Kit uses a tree-based session model that supports branching and forking conversations.
 
 ### Session Locations
 
-- Default: `~/.local/share/kit/sessions/<cwd-hash>/<uuid>.jsonl`
+- Default: `~/.kit/sessions/<cwd-path>/<timestamp>_<id>.jsonl`
+- Path separators in the working directory are replaced with `--` (e.g., `/home/user/project` becomes `home--user--project`)
 - Each line is a session entry (messages, tool calls, extension data)
 - Supports branching from any message to explore alternate paths

+### Interactive Session Commands
+
+During an interactive session, use these slash commands:
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/name [name]` | Set or display the session's display name |
+| `/session` | Show session info (path, ID, message count) |
+| `/resume` | Open the session picker to switch sessions |
+| `/export [path]` | Export session as JSONL (auto-generates path if omitted) |
+| `/import <path>` | Import and switch to a session from a JSONL file |
+| `/share` | Upload session to GitHub Gist and get a shareable viewer URL |
+| `/tree` | Navigate the session tree |
+| `/fork` | Fork to new session from an earlier message |
+| `/new` | Start a fresh session |

+### Custom Tools
+

+
+```go
+type SearchInput struct {
+    Query string `json:"query" description:"Search query"`
+}
+
+searchTool := kit.NewTool("search", "Search the codebase",

+    },
+)
+
+host, _ := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    ExtraTools: []kit.Tool{searchTool}, // adds alongside built-in tools
+})
+```
+
+Use `kit.NewParallelTool` for tools safe to run concurrently. See the [SDK docs](/sdk/overview) for full details on struct tags, `ToolOutput` fields, and `ToolCallIDFromContext`.
+
 ### With Callbacks
 
 ```go
-response, err := host.PromptWithCallbacks(
+unsub := host.OnToolCall(func(e kit.ToolCallEvent) {
+    println("Calling tool:", e.ToolName)
+})
+defer unsub()

+    if e.IsError {

+    }
+})
+defer unsub2()
+
+unsub3 := host.OnStreaming(func(e kit.MessageUpdateEvent) {

-    },
-    func(chunk string) {
-        // Streaming text chunk
-        print(chunk)
-    },
 )
 ```
 
 ### Session Management
 
 ```go
+// Multi-turn conversations retain context automatically
 host.Prompt(ctx, "My name is Alice")
 response, _ := host.Prompt(ctx, "What's my name?")
 
-host.SaveSession("./session.json")
-host.LoadSession("./session.json")
+// Sessions are persisted automatically to JSONL files.
+// Access session info:
+path := host.GetSessionPath()
+id := host.GetSessionID()
+
+// Clear conversation history
 host.ClearSession()
 ```
 
+Session persistence is configured via `Options`:
+
+```go
+host, _ := kit.New(ctx, &kit.Options{
+    SessionPath: "./my-session.jsonl",  // Open specific session
+    Continue:    true,                   // Resume most recent session

+# SDK Examples
+
+These examples demonstrate how to use the Kit SDK (`pkg/kit`) to build agents programmatically in Go.
+
+## Examples
+
+### [basic](basic/)
+
+Shows core SDK usage: creating a Kit instance, sending prompts, overriding the model, subscribing to events (tool calls, streaming), and session management.
+
+```bash
+go run ./examples/sdk/basic
+```
+
+### [scripting](scripting/)
+
+A minimal script-friendly wrapper that takes a prompt from the command line and prints the response — useful for piping and automation.
+
+```bash
+go run ./examples/sdk/scripting "Explain what this repo does"
+```
+
+### [crypto-monitor](crypto-monitor/)
+
+A background agent that checks Bitcoin and Ethereum prices every 30 minutes and sends desktop notifications via `notify-send` (dbus). Demonstrates using the SDK for a long-running autonomous task with a single tool.
+
+```bash
+go run ./examples/sdk/crypto-monitor
+
+# Override the check interval:
+CRYPTO_INTERVAL=5m go run ./examples/sdk/crypto-monitor
+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+```go
+import kit "github.com/mark3labs/kit/pkg/kit"
+
+host, err := kit.New(ctx, nil)        // uses ~/.kit.yml defaults
+defer host.Close()
+
+response, err := host.Prompt(ctx, "Hello!")
+```
+
+See the [SDK README](../../pkg/kit/README.md) for the full API reference.
