+# Remote Center
+
+`remote-center` is a slim application that exposes user-written functions to a horde hub as **remotes**. It has no npm dependencies and runs on a plain Node.js install.
+
+A **center** is the main remote: it connects to the hub, exposes its own functions, and manages **spaces** — named sub-remotes, each with a working subdirectory of the center's working path. Spaces share the center's functions and may define their own.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js >= 22 (uses the built-in global `WebSocket`).
+- `git` on PATH, if you want `clone_space` to work with git URLs.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```sh
+node src/main.js init     # copies the center template into ./.remote
+# edit .remote/config.json and set your hub token
+node src/main.js          # runs the center from the current directory
