-## What it demonstrates
+The scheduling math is ported from Ruben's C program **qualcard** (the "K" here just marks the
+Kanboard port). The card movement -- bringing a card back when it falls due -- is done by the
+companion **RecoReco** plugin, so QualKard needs RecoReco installed and RecoReco's cron running.

+
+```
+Drafts | Study | Hairy | Hard | Medium | Easy | Done
+```
+
+- **Drafts** -- where new and reset cards wait. A draft is inert: it never comes due on its own.
+- **Study** -- the review queue. RecoReco moves a card here when it falls due; this column is
+  itself the "overdue" backlog, so it can hold more than one day's worth.
+- **Hairy / Hard / Medium / Easy** -- the four grade columns. You review a card in Study, then
+  drag it into one of these to record how it went.
+- **Done** -- a resting place you drag a card to when you want it out of rotation. A card in Done
+  does not come back (it is the one column that does not re-trigger).
+
+## Studying
+
+1. Read the prompt (the card title) in **Study**, recall the answer, then open the card to check
+   the description.
+2. Drag the card into the grade column that matches how it went:
+
+   | Column | Meaning | Score |
+   |--------|---------|------:|
+   | Hairy  | no idea / wrong        | 0.0 |
+   | Hard   | right, but a struggle  | 1.3 |
+   | Medium | right, some effort     | 3.0 |
+   | Easy   | instant                | 5.0 |
+
+3. QualKard folds that score into the card's running average and sets the card's **due date** the
+   right number of days out (1 day for a hairy average, up to 11 for a mastered one). RecoReco
+   picks the card up from the grade column and, when it next falls due, moves it back to **Study**.
+
+You never edit a due date or move a card back yourself -- grading is the only action.
+
+### How the schedule is computed
+
+Each card keeps a running average of its scores. A brand-new card is seeded a little below its
+first score; after that the average is the mean of the old average and the new score. The average
+maps to an interval:
+
+| Average    | Interval |
+|------------|---------:|
+| <= 0.60    | 1 day    |
+| <= 1.35    | 2 days   |
+| <= 2.20    | 3 days   |
+| <= 3.05    | 5 days   |
+| <= 3.90    | 7 days   |
+| <= 4.92    | 9 days   |
+| otherwise  | 11 days  |
+
+So a card you keep grading Easy climbs toward an 11-day gap, while one you keep missing stays at a
+day or two until it sticks.
+
+## The mastery badge
+
+Each card shows a small badge under its title, on the board and at the top of the opened card:
+
+- **new** (yellow) -- an unread card that has never been graded.
+- a **percent** of mastery (the average as a fraction of 5), coloured **red** below 50%,
+  **green** through 89%, and **blue** at 90% and up.
 
 ## Requirements
 
 - Kanboard >= 1.2.0
+- The **RecoReco** plugin, installed and enabled, with its cron task running (RecoReco is what
+  moves due cards back to Study). QualKard's setup button stays disabled until RecoReco is present.
+
+QualKard refuses to set up a board that has **FinanceBuddy** enabled: the restructure would wreck a
+finance board's columns. Disable FinanceBuddy on that board first, or use a different board.
 
 ## Installation
 
-No build step and no dependencies.
+Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/QualKard/`. The directory name must be
+exactly `QualKard` (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace from the folder name). No build step and
+no database migration.
 
-1. Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/Skeleton/`.
+Then, on the board you want to study:
-2. Reload any page. The word "Skeleton" appears at the top.
-3. Confirm it under Settings -> Plugins.
 
-To uninstall, delete `plugins/Skeleton/`. Nothing else is left behind.
+1. Go to Settings -> Integrations.
+2. Under QualKard, click **Set up QualKard study board**, and confirm. This renames the board's
+   columns to the seven roles above (creating or removing columns to reach exactly seven) and moves
+   every existing card into Drafts.
+3. Make sure RecoReco's cron is running so due cards come back.
 
-## Directory layout
+From the same page you can later **Reset all cards** (send every card back to Drafts, unread) or
+**Disable QualKard machinery** (stop the automation without touching your columns or cards).

-## How to fork this into a new plugin
+No database migration. The per-board enable flag and the seven column roles are stored in project
-
+metadata; each card's running average lives in task metadata, and QualKard writes the card's due
-1. Copy the folder and rename it, e.g. `plugins/MyPlugin/`. The folder name must match the
+date and RecoReco's per-card recurrence config. Uninstalling the plugin leaves that metadata
-   namespace and start with a capital letter.
+harmlessly in place -- your columns and cards are untouched.
-2. In `Plugin.php`, change the namespace from `Kanboard\Plugin\Skeleton` to
-   `Kanboard\Plugin\MyPlugin`.
-3. Update the metadata methods (`getPluginName`, `getPluginDescription`, `getPluginAuthor`,
-   `getPluginVersion`, `getPluginHomepage`, `getCompatibleVersion`).
-4. Update the hook target paths: the lowercase prefix in `'skeleton:layout/header'` and the
-   `plugins/Skeleton/Asset/...` asset paths must match the new plugin name.
-5. Replace `Template/layout/header.php` with your real template, or attach to a different
-   hook. See the Kanboard plugin hooks documentation for the full list of hook points.
