+# Starter Kit (moved)
+
+The standalone starter kit was folded into the main README during the project
+restructure. The quick-start steps it used to carry now live in one place, and
+the community links that issue [#57](https://github.com/EverMind-AI/EverOS/issues/57)
+reported as broken are current.
+
+## Where things went
+
+| You were looking for | Go here |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Quick-start / first run | [README → Quick Start](../README.md#quick-start) |
+| Run EverCore locally | [methods/EverCore/docs](../methods/EverCore/docs) |
+| Join the community (Discord) | [discord.gg/gYep5nQRZJ](https://discord.gg/gYep5nQRZJ) |
+| Contributing | [.github/CONTRIBUTING.md](../.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) |
+
+The Discord badge at the top of the [README](../README.md) is a live, dynamic
+badge that queries the Discord invite API directly, so it doubles as a health
+check for the invite link.

+This page is kept only as a breadcrumb for old `docs/STARTER_KIT.md` links.
