+Getting Started with Sky
+========================
 
-This SDK is generated from the
-[Sky repository](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine) using
-[deploy_sdk.py](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/blob/master/sky/tools/deploy_sdk.py).
-Static files (including this README.md) are located under
-[sky/sdk](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/tree/master/sky/sdk).
+Sky apps are written in Dart. To get started, we need to set up Dart SDK:
 
-Pull
-requests and issue reports are gladly accepted at the
-[Sky repository](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine)!
+ - Install the [Dart SDK](https://www.dartlang.org/downloads/).
+ - Ensure that `$DART_SDK` is set to the path of your Dart SDK.
 
-Sky
-===
-
-Sky is an experimental, high-performance UI framework for mobile apps. Sky helps
-you create apps with beautiful user interfaces and high-quality interactive
-design that run smoothly at 120 Hz.
-
-Sky consists of two components:
-
-1. *The Sky engine.* The engine is the core of the system. Written in C++, the
-   engine provides the muscle of the Sky system. The engine provides
-   several primitives, including a soft real-time scheduler and a hierarchical,
-   retained-mode graphics system, that let you build high-quality apps.
-
-2. *The Sky framework.* The [framework](packages/sky/lib/framework) makes it
-   easy to build apps using Sky by providing familiar user interface widgets,
-   such as buttons, infinite lists, and animations, on top of the engine using
-   Dart. These extensible components follow a functional programming style
-   inspired by [React](http://facebook.github.io/react/).
-
-We're still iterating on Sky heavily, which means the framework and underlying
-engine are both likely to change in incompatible ways several times, but if
-you're interested in trying out the system, this document can help you get
-started.

-Services
---------
-
-Sky apps can access services from the host operating system using Mojo IPC. For
-example, you can access the network using the `network_service.mojom` interface.
-Although you can use these low-level interfaces directly, you might prefer to
-access these services via libraries in the framework. For example, the
-`fetch.dart` library wraps the underlying `network_service.mojom` in an
-ergonomic interface:
-
-```dart
-import 'package:sky/mojo/net/fetch.dart';
-
-main() async {
-  Response response = await fetchBody('example.txt');
-  print(response.bodyAsString());
-}
-```

 Debugging
 ---------
 
 Sky uses [Observatory](https://www.dartlang.org/tools/observatory/) for
 debugging and profiling. While running your Sky app using `sky_tool`, you can
-access Observatory by navigating your web browser to http://localhost:8181/.
-
-Building a standalone MyApp
----------------------------
-
-Although it is possible to bundle the Sky Engine in your own app (instead of
-running your code inside SkyDemo.apk), right now doing so is difficult.
-
-There is one example of doing so if you're feeling brave:
-https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/tree/master/sky/sdk/example/stocks
-
-Eventually we plan to make this much easier and support platforms other than
-Android, but that work is yet in progress.

-Adding Services to MyApp
-------------------------
-
-[Mojo IPC](https://github.com/domokit/mojo) is an inter-process-communication
-system designed to provide cross-thread, cross-process, and language-agnostic
-communication between applications.  Sky uses Mojo IPC to make it possible
-to write UI code in Dart and yet depend on networking code, etc. written in
-another language.  Services are replicable, meaning that Dart code
-written to use the `network_service` remains portable to any platform
-(iOS, Android, etc.) by simply providing a 'natively' written `network_service`.
-
-Embedders of the Sky Engine and consumers of the Sky Framework can use this
-same mechanism to expose not only existing services like the
-[Keyboard](https://github.com/domokit/mojo/blob/master/mojo/services/keyboard/public/interfaces/keyboard.mojom)
-service to allow Sky Framework Dart code to interface with the underlying
-platform's Keyboard, but also to expose any additional non-Dart business logic
-to Sky/Dart UI code.
-
-As an example, [SkyApplication](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/blob/master/sky/shell/org/domokit/sky/shell/SkyApplication.java)
-exposes a mojo `network_service` (required by Sky Engine C++ code)
-[SkyDemoApplication](https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/blob/master/sky/apk/demo/org/domokit/sky/demo/SkyDemoApplication.java)
-additionally exposes `keyboard_service` and `sensor_service` for use by the Sky
-Framework from Dart.
