## Skyrim AI pack note

CodeBurn does not compile plugins or read ESP data. Use it when the user cares about **AI spend**, session efficiency, or comparing models — often alongside `ponytail` (write less) and `headroom` (send less).

If Node/npm is missing, recommend installing Node first, then CodeBurn.
