Description

The README.md for Roast is very large and parts are outdated. We should change this to a summary, basic usage, and contribution instructions. Documentation should be provided in a better organized format (possibly a docs/ directory with something like gitbook or docusaurus, or project wiki).

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing README.md and identifying its outdated or oversized sections. Compare the current usage and contribution guidance with the project’s present state, then determine whether a docs/ directory, GitBook, Docusaurus, or project wiki is appropriate. Done means the README is a concise summary with basic usage and contribution instructions, with reorganized documentation available in the chosen format.
