Task 4: Write tooling README

Plan: reusable-impact-tooling Status: DONE Depends on: Task 3 (need final directory structure) Deliverable: README for the impact toolkit

What to do

  1. Write a README covering:

    • What the toolkit does (tracks energy, CO2, cost per conversation).
    • How to install (run install.sh).
    • What gets measured and how (brief summary with pointer to methodology).
    • How to view results (show-impact.sh).
    • Known limitations (estimates, not measurements).
    • Dependencies (jq, bash, Claude Code with hooks support).
  2. Keep it short. Under 100 lines.

Done when

  • A new user can understand and install the toolkit from the README alone.
