Project page

This project has not published an innotive.md page yet.

Repo-native content, AI-friendly workflow

Create innotive.md at the repository root. innotive renders that file as the project page — we do not host an editor.

Keep the content in your repo so it stays versioned with your code. Many teams already run AI in their repositories; drafting innotive.md with your usual AI workflow is usually the fastest path.

Create innotive.md on GitHub
