-<think>The user wants to brainstorm the design of shmake. They want:
-1. A spec-style README with examples
-2. No BUILD_MODE variable - instead use `make test`, `make debug`, `make release`
-3. `init` should take flags but fall back to interactive mode if flags are missing
-4. VCS awareness when pulling libraries (git vs tar/zip with wget/curl)
-5. Compiler strictness settings (0=none, 1=basic/pedantic, 2=standard/default+werror+wextra, 3=maximum)
-6. Everything in POSIX sh and POSIX make
-7. Commands: init, add, sync (maybe others?)
-8. Manual modes for automation
-
-Let me think about the full design:
-
-Commands needed:
-- shmake init [flags] - initialize project, interactive if flags missing
-- shmake add [type] [name/url] [options] - add modules or libraries
-- shmake sync - regenerate Makefile from .conf files
-- shmake link [libs] - add system libraries (already exists)
-- shmake help - show help
-
-For the add command, they want to specify where libraries go:
-- shared_libraries (normal)
-- debug_only (debug/logging libraries)
-- test_only (test libraries)
-- release_only (release-only libraries)
-
-Compiler strictness:
-- 0: none
-- 1: basic (pedantic, -Wall)
-- 2: standard (default, includes -Werror, -Wextra)
-- 3: maximum (includes more warnings)
-
-VCS detection:
-- .git URLs → git clone
-- .tar.gz, .zip, etc → wget/curl + extract
-
-Let me write a comprehensive spec-style README.

 # shmake: Simple Helpful Make (Shell Make)
 
 A POSIX-compliant build and project management system for C projects. All scripts use pure POSIX sh. Generated Makefiles are fully POSIX-compliant and work with GNU Make, bmake, and BSD Make.
