Foundling

== Description ==

Most starter themes start you at negative one: you delete a demo homepage, three patterns you will never use, and a build system with fourteen dependencies before you write a line. Foundling ships five templates, a documented theme.json, and no content at all.

Every setting in theme.json has a comment above it explaining what it does and what happens when it is absent. It is the file people copy without understanding, so this copy explains itself.

No build step. No package.json. If you want Sass or Tailwind, add them — but a starter theme should not decide that for you before it knows what you are building.

== Installation ==

• Install and activate the theme, or copy the folder and rename it.
• Change the theme header in style.css and the text domain to match.
• Start editing templates in the site editor, or in the files. Both work.

Renaming is a find-and-replace on one string. The readme names it.

== Frequently asked questions ==

Is this a parent theme?

It can be, but it is meant to be copied. Forking a starter is more honest than inheriting from one.

Why so few templates?

Five is what WordPress needs to render every route. Everything past that is your design, not mine.
