Refactor README.md into Modular Documentation #44

Description

The current README.md is extremely comprehensive but has become too long for quick scanning. It currently exceeds the optimal length for a landing page, forcing users to scroll past 15+ sections to find installation or contribution guidelines. We need to move detailed feature breakdowns to a dedicated /docs folder or a Wiki.

Requirements

  • Create a /docs Directory: Move in-depth command explanations (Ticket System, Starboard, Counting Game, etc.) into individual markdown files (e.g., docs/TICKETS.md, docs/GAMES.md).
  • Simplify Landing Page: The main README.md should only contain:
    - Project High-level Overview
    - Quick Start / Installation
    - Essential Environment Variables
    - A Feature Index with links to the new files in /docs.
  • Add a Table of Contents: Implement a clickable "Quick Links" section at the top of the README.
  • Collapsible Sections: Use HTML <details> tags for secondary information like "Fun Commands" or "Acknowledgments" to keep the UI clean.

Proposed Structure

Eigen-bot/
├── README.md (The "Hub")
└── docs/
    ├── FEATURES.md      (Full command list)
    ├── SETUP_GUIDE.md   (Detailed Environment & Docker config)
    ├── TICKETS.md       (Deep dive into the support system)
    └── CONTRIBUTING.md  (Guidelines for devs)

Acceptance Criteria

  • README.md reduced by at least 60% in length.
  • No information is lost during the migration.
  • All internal links between the README and the /docs folder are verified.
  • The "Quick Start" remains visible "above the fold" or within one scroll.
