+# Chorus
+
+Multi-channel communications hub for Books in Hand.
+
+Aggregates BH text, personal text, BH email, personal email, voice, Facebook
+Messenger, and ND messenger into a single triage interface, so Donna can
+coordinate with volunteers and donors without switching between apps.
+
+Standalone client project for Books in Hand. Not part of the CircuitForge
+product line — no BSL tiering, no CircuitForge license server integration.
+
+Design spec and implementation plan live in a separate private planning
+repo (`circuitforge-plans/books-in-hand/superpowers/`) and won't always be
+available to whoever is working in this repo.
+
+## Status
+
+Design in progress.
