 ## Development Environment Setup
 
-For detailed setup instructions, including container building, environment configuration, and troubleshooting, see [ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md](ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md).

-### GitHub MCP Server
-The project uses GitHub's MCP server for development tasks. The server runs in a Docker container and is automatically configured when you open the project in a devcontainer.
+### Quick Start
 
-#### Configuration
-- The MCP server uses GitHub authentication via Personal Access Token
-- Token is stored securely in `.devcontainer/.env` (not committed to repository)
-- GitHub CLI is installed in the devcontainer for easier authentication management
-- Container health monitoring is configured
+1. **Prerequisites**
+   - Docker Desktop installed and running
+   - VS Code with Remote - Containers extension
+   - GitHub account with Personal Access Token (PAT)
 
-#### Usage
-The MCP server will automatically start when you open the project in a devcontainer. If you need to manually authenticate:
-1. Run `gh auth login` in the terminal
-2. Follow the prompts to authenticate with your GitHub account
+2. **Setup Steps**
+   - Clone this repository
+   - Copy `.devcontainer/.env.example` to `.devcontainer/.env` and add your GitHub PAT
+   - Open in VS Code and select "Reopen in Container" when prompted

-## Development Container Setup
-
-### GitHub Personal Access Token
-Before using the development container, you'll need a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following permissions:
-- `repo` (Full control of private repositories)
-- `read:packages` (Download container images)
-- `write:packages` (Upload container images)
-- `delete:packages` (Optional: manage container versions)
-- `workflow` (GitHub Actions integration)
-
-### Using the Development Container
-
-#### Command Line Interface
-You can build and start the development container using the devcontainer CLI:
-
-```bash
-# Build the container
-devcontainer build .
-
-# Start the container (with post-create command)
-devcontainer up --workspace-folder .
-
-# Start the container (skip post-create)
-devcontainer up --workspace-folder . --skip-post-create
-```
-
-#### VS Code
-1. Open the project in VS Code
-2. Press F1 and run "Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container"
-   - To skip post-create steps: Press F1 and run "Dev Containers: Rebuild Container Without Cache"
-
-### Troubleshooting
-- If GitHub authentication fails, ensure your PAT is correctly set in `.devcontainer/.env`
-- For network issues, try rebuilding the container with `--no-cache` option
-- Check the VS Code "Dev Containers" output panel for detailed logs
