Summary

Adds a ## Quick Install block immediately after the warning/platform callouts so new readers see the npm one-liner within the first screen, instead of having to scroll past Why HyperAgent?, What Can You Do With HyperAgent?, Example Prompts, How It Works, Built-In Modules, Skills and Profiles, MCP Servers, and Security Model before reaching Install and Run.

What's in the section

gh auth login                              # auth (Copilot access required)
npm install -g @hyperlight-dev/hyperagent  # install
hyperagent                                 # run

Followed by a one-line note on platform requirements (Node.js 22+, KVM/WHP/MSHV/WSL2) and a forward link to the full Install and Run section for Docker, source builds, and prerequisites.

Notes

  • No content removed — the detailed Install and Run section (Docker, source builds, prerequisites, npm subsection, etc.) remains intact for users who need it.
  • Prettier also realigned the capability table dividers in How It Works (pre-existing alignment drift from when the execute_bash row landed) — purely formatting, no content change. Visible in the diff but not behaviour-changing.

Validation

  • npx prettier --check README.md — clean
  • Single commit, GPG-signed + DCO sign-off
  • Based on main@5a66988 (just-released v0.6.0)

- Add `## Quick Install` block (gh auth login + npm install -g + run)
  immediately after the warning callouts, so new users see the install
  path within the first screen
- Link forward to the existing `## Install and Run` section for Docker,
  source builds, and full prerequisites
- Prettier also realigned the capability table dividers in `How It
  Works` (pre-existing alignment drift from when the `execute_bash` row
  was added) — pure formatting, no content change
