 # Using Vite+, the Unified Toolchain for the Web
 
-This project is using Vite+, a unified toolchain built on top of Vite, Rolldown,
-Vitest, tsdown, Oxlint, Oxfmt, and Vite Task. Vite+ wraps runtime management,
-package management, and frontend tooling in a single global CLI called `vp`.
-Vite+ is distinct from Vite, and it invokes Vite through `vp dev` and
-`vp build`. Run `vp help` to print a list of commands and `vp <command> --help`
-for information about a specific command.

 ## Review Checklist
 
 - [ ] Run `vp install` after pulling remote changes and before getting started.
 - [ ] Run `vp check` and `vp test` to format, lint, type check and test changes.
-- [ ] Check if there are `vite.config.ts` tasks or `package.json` scripts
-      necessary for validation, run via `vp run <script>`.
-- [ ] If setup, runtime, or package-manager behavior looks wrong, run
-      `vp env doctor` and include its output when asking for help.
