Problem
Users land on README first; without a polished landing page (what / why / quickstart / architecture / badges), the template doesn't communicate its value.
Proposed solution
Write README.md with: 1-paragraph value prop ("prod-quality LLM-driven coding harness"), feature list (harness mechanics enumerated), quickstart (gh repo create --template constk/harness-python-react, uv sync, just check, docker compose up), architecture diagram, badges (CI, coverage, license, Python, Node, React versions). Write CONTRIBUTING.md (branching, commit style, PR flow). Write CLAUDE.md (harness-first project instructions for Claude Code). Seed CHANGELOG.md for release-drafter. Write docs/TASKS.md analogue documenting this template's bootstrap phases.
Acceptance criteria
Priority rationale
High: this is the portfolio surface.
Depends on
#25
