Hey there, thanks so much for the contribution! I'm not so sure the main README.me is the best place for this. It makes it seems like kind and openai are necessary for using kagent, but that's not really true, they're just necessary for running it locally. Maybe there's a way we can more easily link to local getting started docs, or potentially locate this further down the README. What do you think?

How about: Option 1: Move it under a "Local Development Quickstart" heading further down in the README Option 2: Replace it with a simple link like:
Which approach would you prefer? Or if you have another suggestion, I'm happy to implement that! 😊 we using kagent to build great things, would love to contribute |
