Write a README.md for this project.

Project name: {{name}}
What it does and who it is for: {{purpose}}
Language and tooling: {{language}}
Install and run steps as I know them: {{setup}}
Key features or API surface:
{{features}}
Tone: {{tone}}

Structure:
1. Title and a one-sentence description a stranger could understand in five seconds.
2. Why it exists: the problem and how this differs from the obvious alternatives, in at most four sentences. No marketing language.
3. Quick start: the shortest path from zero to a working result, as copy-pasteable commands, with expected output.
4. Usage: two or three realistic examples, from simple to more advanced, each with a code block.
5. Configuration: a table of options with defaults.
6. Project layout, only if it helps a newcomer.
7. Development: how to run tests and the linter, and how to contribute.
8. License and support section placeholders.

Only document what I have told you or what is evident from the input. Where information is missing, insert a clearly marked TODO rather than inventing commands, flags or badges. Verify that each step in the quick start follows from the one before it.
Example output
# tinyqueue A small, durable job queue for Node.js that stores jobs in SQLite. ## Why Most queues need Redis. For a side project or a single-server app that is one more service to run and pay for. tinyqueue keeps jobs in a local file, survives restarts, and has no other dependencies. ## Quick start ```bash npm install tinyqueue ``` ```ts import { Queue } from "tinyqueue"; const queue = new Queue("./jobs.db"); queue.process("email", async (job) => { console.log("sending to", job.data.to); }); await queue.add("email", { to: "ada@example.com" }); ``` Expected output: `sending to ada@example.com` ## Usage - Delay: `queue.add("email", data, { delayMs: 60_000 })` - Retries: `{ retries: 5, backoff: "exponential" }` ## Configuration | Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `concurrency` | 1 | Jobs run at once | | `retries` | 3 | Attempts before a job is marked failed | ## Development `npm test` and `npm run lint`. TODO: contribution guidelines. ## License TODO

Why it works

The no-invention rule with TODO markers keeps the README accurate rather than confidently wrong. Paste your package manifest or main file as features for a more precise result.
