+## フィロソフィー
+
+IronClawはシンプルな原則に基づいて構築されています：**あなたのAIアシスタントは、あなたのために働くべきであり、あなたに不利益をもたらすべきではありません。**
+
+AIシステムがデータの取り扱いについて不透明になり、企業の利益に沿って調整されることが増えている世界で、IronClawは異なるアプローチを取ります：
+
+- **あなたのデータはあなたのもの** - すべての情報はローカルに保存・暗号化され、あなたの管理下から離れることはありません
+- **設計段階からの透明性** - オープンソース、監査可能、隠れたテレメトリやデータ収集なし
+- **自己拡張する能力** - ベンダーのアップデートを待たずに、新しいツールをその場で構築
+- **多層防御** - 複数のセキュリティレイヤーがプロンプトインジェクションやデータ流出から保護
+
+IronClawは、個人生活にも仕事にも本当に信頼できるAIアシスタントです。
+
+## 機能
+
+### セキュリティファースト
+
+- **WASMサンドボックス** - 信頼されていないツールは、機能ベースの権限を持つ隔離されたWebAssemblyコンテナで実行
+- **認証情報の保護** - シークレットはツールに公開されず、リーク検出付きでホスト境界で注入
+- **プロンプトインジェクション防御** - パターン検出、コンテンツサニタイズ、ポリシー適用
+- **エンドポイントの許可リスト** - HTTPリクエストは明示的に許可されたホストとパスのみに制限
+
+### 常時利用可能
+
+- **マルチチャネル** - REPL、HTTPウェブフック、WASMチャネル（Telegram、Slack）、Webゲートウェイ
+- **Dockerサンドボックス** - ジョブごとのトークンとオーケストレーター/ワーカーパターンによる隔離されたコンテナ実行
+- **Webゲートウェイ** - リアルタイムSSE/WebSocketストリーミング対応のブラウザUI
+- **ルーティン** - cronスケジュール、イベントトリガー、ウェブフックハンドラーによるバックグラウンド自動化
+- **ハートビートシステム** - 監視・保守タスクのためのプロアクティブなバックグラウンド実行
+- **並列ジョブ** - 隔離されたコンテキストで複数のリクエストを同時に処理
+- **自己修復** - スタックした操作の自動検出と復旧
+
+### 自己拡張
+
+- **動的ツール構築** - 必要なものを説明すると、IronClawがWASMツールとして構築
+- **MCPプロトコル** - Model Context Protocolサーバーに接続して追加機能を利用
+- **プラグインアーキテクチャ** - 再起動なしで新しいWASMツールやチャネルを追加
+
+### 永続メモリ
+
+- **ハイブリッド検索** - Reciprocal Rank Fusionを使用した全文検索+ベクトル検索
+- **ワークスペースファイルシステム** - メモ、ログ、コンテキストのための柔軟なパスベースストレージ
+- **アイデンティティファイル** - セッション間で一貫した人格と設定を維持
+
+## インストール
+
+### 前提条件
+
+- Rust 1.85+
+- PostgreSQL 15+ ([pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector)拡張機能を含む)
+- NEAR AIアカウント（セットアップウィザードで認証を処理）
+

+
+`cargo`でインストールします。コンピューターに[Rust](https://rustup.rs)がインストールされていることを確認してください。
+
+```bash
+# リポジトリをクローン
+git clone https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw.git
+cd ironclaw
+
+# ビルド
+cargo build --release
+
+# テストを実行
+cargo test
+```
+
+**フルリリース**（チャネルソースを変更した後）の場合、まず`./scripts/build-all.sh`を実行してチャネルを再ビルドしてください。
+
+</details>
+
+### データベースのセットアップ
+
+```bash
+# データベースを作成
+createdb ironclaw
+
+# pgvectorを有効化
+psql ironclaw -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;"
+```
+
+## 設定
+
+セットアップウィザードを実行してIronClawを設定します：
+
+```bash
+ironclaw onboard
+```
+
+ウィザードは、データベース接続、NEAR AI認証（ブラウザOAuth経由）、シークレットの暗号化（システムキーチェーンを使用）を処理します。設定は接続されたデータベースに永続化されます。ブートストラップ変数（例：`DATABASE_URL`、`LLM_BACKEND`）は、データベース接続前に利用できるよう`~/.ironclaw/.env`に書き込まれます。
+
+### 代替LLMプロバイダー
+
+IronClawはデフォルトでNEAR AIを使用しますが、多くのLLMプロバイダーをすぐに利用できます。組み込みプロバイダーには**Anthropic**、**OpenAI**、**Google Gemini**、**MiniMax**、**Mistral**、**Ollama**（ローカル）が含まれます。**OpenRouter**（300以上のモデル）、**Together AI**、**Fireworks AI**、セルフホストサーバー（**vLLM**、**LiteLLM**）などのOpenAI互換サービスもサポートされています。
+
+ウィザードでプロバイダーを選択するか、環境変数を直接設定してください：
+
+```env
+# 例：MiniMax（組み込み、204Kコンテキスト）
+LLM_BACKEND=minimax
+MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
+
+# 例：OpenAI互換エンドポイント
+LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
+LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+LLM_API_KEY=sk-or-...
+LLM_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+```
+
+完全なプロバイダーガイドは[docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md](docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md)をご覧ください。
+
+## セキュリティ
+
+IronClawは、データを保護し悪用を防ぐために多層防御を実装しています。
+
+### WASMサンドボックス
+
+すべての信頼されていないツールは、隔離されたWebAssemblyコンテナで実行されます：
+
+- **機能ベースの権限** - HTTP、シークレット、ツール呼び出しの明示的なオプトイン
+- **エンドポイントの許可リスト** - 許可されたホスト/パスへのHTTPリクエストのみ
+- **認証情報の注入** - シークレットはホスト境界で注入され、WASMコードに公開されない
+- **リーク検出** - リクエストとレスポンスのシークレット流出試行をスキャン
+- **レート制限** - 悪用防止のためのツールごとのリクエスト制限
+- **リソース制限** - メモリ、CPU、実行時間の制約
+
+```
+WASM ──► 許可リスト ──► リーク    ──► 認証情報 ──► リクエスト ──► リーク    ──► WASM
+         バリデーター    スキャン       注入        実行          スキャン
+                       (リクエスト)                             (レスポンス)
+```
+
+### プロンプトインジェクション防御
+
+外部コンテンツは複数のセキュリティレイヤーを通過します：
+
+- パターンベースのインジェクション試行検出
+- コンテンツのサニタイズとエスケープ
+- 重要度レベル付きポリシールール（ブロック/警告/レビュー/サニタイズ）
+- 安全なLLMコンテキスト注入のためのツール出力ラッピング
+
+### データ保護
+
+- すべてのデータはローカルのPostgreSQLデータベースに保存
+- AES-256-GCMでシークレットを暗号化
+- テレメトリ、分析、データ共有なし
+- すべてのツール実行の完全な監査ログ

+| **エージェントループ** | メインのメッセージ処理とジョブの調整 |
+| **ルーター** | ユーザーの意図を分類（コマンド、クエリ、タスク） |
+| **スケジューラー** | 優先度付きの並列ジョブ実行を管理 |
+| **ワーカー** | LLM推論とツール呼び出しでジョブを実行 |
+| **オーケストレーター** | コンテナのライフサイクル、LLMプロキシ、ジョブごとの認証 |
+| **Webゲートウェイ** | チャット、メモリ、ジョブ、ログ、拡張機能、ルーティンのブラウザUI |
+| **ルーティンエンジン** | スケジュール（cron）とリアクティブ（イベント、ウェブフック）のバックグラウンドタスク |

+## 使い方
+
+```bash
+# 初回セットアップ（データベース、認証などを設定）
+ironclaw onboard
+
+# インタラクティブREPLを起動
+cargo run
+
+# デバッグログ付き
+RUST_LOG=ironclaw=debug cargo run
+```
+
+## 開発
+
+```bash
+# コードフォーマット
+cargo fmt
+
+# リント
+cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features
+
+# テスト実行
+createdb ironclaw_test
+cargo test

+```
+
+- **Telegramチャネル**: セットアップとDMペアリングについては[docs/TELEGRAM_SETUP.md](docs/TELEGRAM_SETUP.md)を参照してください。
+- **チャネルソースの変更**: `cargo build`の前に`./channels-src/telegram/build.sh`を実行して、更新されたWASMをバンドルしてください。
+
+## OpenClawの系譜
+
+IronClawは[OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw)にインスパイアされたRust再実装です。完全な対応表は[FEATURE_PARITY.md](FEATURE_PARITY.md)をご覧ください。
+
+主な違い：
+
+- **Rust vs TypeScript** - ネイティブパフォーマンス、メモリ安全性、シングルバイナリ
+- **WASMサンドボックス vs Docker** - 軽量、機能ベースのセキュリティ
+- **PostgreSQL vs SQLite** - 本番環境対応の永続化
+- **セキュリティファースト設計** - 複数の防御レイヤー、認証情報の保護
