Addressed comments
The PR is a clean docs change with one broken anchor that I corrected. No CI job compiles or imports these Markdown files (CI covers Go build/test, SDK typecheck/test, E2E, workers typecheck — none touch docs), so the edit cannot affect any build. This still needs a human to merge the positioning/messaging change, but I cannot confirm CI status or mergeability from here, so I am not printing READY. |

In `@docs/guides/getting-started.md`:
- Line 5: The anchor link [Agent Relay Cloud](`#hosted-provider-files`) in the
introductory paragraph does not match the actual heading that generates the
anchor. The heading "## Hosted Provider Files (Least Friction)" creates the
anchor `#hosted-provider-files-least-friction`, not `#hosted-provider-files`. Fix
this by either updating the link reference to match the full generated anchor
including the -least-friction suffix, or simplify the heading to "## Hosted
Provider Files" so it generates the expected `#hosted-provider-files` anchor that
the link targets.

Working tree is clean — I made no edits (correctly, since this is prose with no mechanical fixes needed). Review SummaryPR #331 is a documentation-only change to two files: Verification performed:
No edits made. The changes are prose-only with no lint/format/typo/import-order issues to mechanically fix, and the content is accurate and internally consistent. No semantic or safety-critical logic is involved. Addressed comments
Advisory Notes
I am not printing READY: I cannot observe CI check status or GitHub mergeability from this sandbox (those are post-harness/cloud-reported), and the instructions require all required checks to be confirmed complete and passing plus a confirmed no-conflict state before signaling a human. The review itself is complete and the working tree is clean. |

Summary
Lead with the reactive story, not the filesystem metaphor. The headline shifts from "The integration filesystem for agents" to "The event layer for AI agents" — the filesystem is the how, not the why. The real pain is normalizing N provider webhooks into one consistent format that agents can react to.
Reorder "Why files" to lead with reactive invocation. Context efficiency (the weakest pain point) was previously Make Relayfile completely provider-agnostic #1. Reactive invocation — provider webhooks normalize into file events that wake agents with zero parsing — is now Make Relayfile completely provider-agnostic #1.
Distinguish Relayfile from Mirage explicitly. Mirage is a pull/query layer (agents ask for data). Relayfile is a push/event layer (events reach agents). Complementary, not competing. The comparison now makes this clear rather than vaguely saying "different scopes."
Frame the daemon as an integration runtime, not overhead. The daemon keeps OAuth warm, absorbs rate limits, and deduplicates webhook deliveries before agents see them — same reason you run a database process. Hosted Agent Relay is surfaced immediately as the zero-infra alternative.
getting-started: hosted path first. Lowest-friction path (no infrastructure) leads; local OSS quickstart follows. Opening framing explains the event-normalization value before diving into setup steps.
Rationale
Compared Relayfile's positioning against Mirage (3.2k stars), which wins partly by leading with zero-new-vocabulary and clear category ownership. The key insight Relayfile has that Mirage doesn't: Mirage is query-time (agents pull), Relayfile is event-time (agents are invoked by normalized webhooks). That's the unclaimed category — and the one that matters most as agent systems move from sequential pipelines to reactive, event-driven architectures.
