+# Most useful command - run all checks
+task check
+
+# Start server
+task server -- -config config.yaml
+
+# Connect client
+task client -- --addr=localhost:8080
+
+# Run tests
+task test
+
+# See coverage
+task test-coverage
+
+# See all available commands
+task --list

 ```bash
 # Start server (uses config.yaml by default)

-
-## Algorithm Choice
-
-The server uses **SHA-256 based proof-of-work** with leading zero bits difficulty:
-- **Why SHA-256**: Cryptographically secure, well-tested, hardware-optimized
-- **Leading Zero Bits**: Simple difficulty scaling, easy verification
-- **HMAC Authentication**: Prevents challenge tampering and replay attacks
-- **Configurable Difficulty**: Adaptive to different threat levels (4-30 bits)
-
-This approach provides strong DDoS protection while remaining computationally reasonable for legitimate clients.
-
-## Current Status
-
-✅ **Complete**: Core functionality, TCP server, client, metrics, containerization  
-🔄 **In Progress**: Documentation (Phase 9)  
-📋 **Planned**: See [Production Readiness Guide](docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS.md) for production deployment requirements
-
-## Testing
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-go test ./...
-
-# Run integration tests
-go test ./test/integration/...
-
-# Benchmarks
-go test -bench=. ./internal/pow/...
