+J1 NOC Nexus is an enterprise-grade, ops-precise platform built for VIDE and SMB operations. Run it solo. Deliver results.
 
-## Overview
-
-J1 NOC Nexus is the next-generation expansion of the J1 NOC platform. It adds automated discovery, SNMP scanning, Telegram bot integration, and cross-platform agents (Linux + Windows) alongside the Flask dashboard.
-
-Built for operators who want one pane to monitor, chat, and act on infrastructure events.
+- **Dashboard**: real-time monitoring with Flask.
+- **Telegram bot**: command handlers, keyboards, and scheduler for notifications.
+- **Discovery**: automated network and SNMP scanning.
+- **Cross-platform agents**: Linux (`agents/linux/`) and Windows (`agents/windows/`).
+- **Install scripts**: one-click bootstrap for agents (`install.sh`, `install.ps1`).
+- **CI**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` for automated checks.
