+## Code review
+
+Run a review against a Python project directory:
+
+```bash
+python3 review.py path/to/project
+```
+
+If the directory is omitted, the current directory is reviewed. The command
+runs Flake8 locally, converts its output into structured findings, and sends the
+finding details and affected source lines to the configured LLM. The resulting
+report lists likely bugs before style and maintainability issues and includes a
+suggested fix for each finding.
+
+When Flake8 finds no issues, the command prints `No Flake8 findings.` and does
+not call the LLM. Existing Flake8 configuration in the reviewed project is
+respected. Virtual-environment directories named `.venv` or `venv` are excluded.
