+This is a project generated by the AgentCore CLI!
+
+# Layout
+
+The generated application code lives at the agent root directory. At the root, there is a `.gitignore` file, an
+`agentcore/` folder which represents the configurations and state associated with this project. Other `agentcore`
+commands like `deploy`, `dev`, and `invoke` rely on the configuration stored here.
+
+## Agent Root
+
+The main entrypoint to your app is defined in `main.ts`. Using the AgentCore SDK `BedrockAgentCoreApp`, this file
+defines an HTTP server that streams tokens from Amazon Bedrock via the Vercel AI SDK's `streamText` API.
+
+# Developing locally
+
+If installation was successful, `node_modules/` is already populated with dependencies.
+
+`agentcore project dev` will start a local server using `tsx watch main.ts` for hot reload on 0.0.0.0:8080.
+
+# Deployment
+
+After providing credentials, `agentcore project deploy` will deploy your project into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
