+# Libre Bible Data
+
+Libre Bible Data is the canonical source and packaging repo for Bible resources used by Libre Study, GracePress Bible Tooltip, and related tools.
+
+This repo does not treat third-party Bible texts as ours. Each resource starts with a source manifest that records upstream location, license status, source format, checksum, importer, generated package paths, and update-check metadata.
+
+## First Resource
+
+The first resource is `kjv-eng-kjv2006`, sourced from eBible.org's `eng-kjv2006` USFM package.
+
+The eBible listing identifies it as public domain, describes it as the 1769 King James Version with Strong's numbers added, and notes the United Kingdom Crown/Cambridge printing restriction does not affect public-domain status outside the UK. See `sources/kjv-eng-kjv2006.json`.
+
+## Workflow
+
+```powershell
+npm install
+npm run check
+npm run import:kjv
+```
+
+Generated packages land under `packages/json/<resource-id>/`.
+
+## Repo Rules
+
+- Every hosted text needs a source manifest.
+- Every source manifest needs license metadata.
+- If redistribution is not clearly allowed, do not commit generated text.
+- Generated packages must include checksums and importer metadata.
+- Update checks should be mechanical: fetch upstream, hash it, compare with the recorded checksum, and report drift.
+
+See `CONVENTIONS.md` for the durable project rules and resource priorities.
