 ## Overview
 
-_nasin pali_, installed as `np`, is a CLI tool that encourages LLMs in agentic
-coding tools (specifically coding, I don't think we want to support generic
-workflows) to do a bit more planning before going off and making a bunch of
-changes. It is _both_ meant for humans and LLMs; there are subcommands that
-produce output for the model and subcommands for the human to inspect the
-model's progress. There's a section on [the name](#the-name) if you're curious
-about it.

 nothing else. I think (backed by no evidence) that they do better when they can

 ## The name
 
-Is from [toki pona](https://tokipona.org/), _a simple language_.
-[_nasin_](https://nimi.li/nasin) occupies the semantic space of "method,
-doctrine, tradition; path, road, way" while [_pali_](https://nimi.li/pali)
-covers "work, activity; create, build, design; put effort toward, take action
-on". Together and in this context, _nasin pali_ could be translated as "the way
-of work", "the doctrine of design", etc.
