Summary

Three cleanup commits after the Wren AI Core rebrand:

  • Naming (9 files under docs/core/{concepts,guides,get_started}): rename "Wren Engine" → "Wren AI Core" to align with the rebrand. The PyPI package name wren-engine is preserved everywhere it appears (it is the actual package identifier on PyPI).
  • README (README.md): add a "Why WrenAI?" section before Quick start so a first-time reader gets the problem framing — context layer for AI agents — instead of diving straight into mechanics. Rewrite Quick start as the agent-driven path (npx skills add Canner/WrenAI --skill '*' → ask wren-onboarding skill). The previous Quick start used pip install wren-engine (without [main] extra) and ended with SELECT order_id FROM "orders" against a freshly scaffolded project that has no orders table — not actually runnable. The full CLI guide is preserved one click away in core/wren/README.md.
  • Quickstart skill bundle URL (docs/core/get_started/quickstart.md): point at Canner/WrenAI instead of the archived Canner/wren-engine; clarify wording around how many skills the bundle installs.

Mirror change for the docs site is in [Canner/docs.getwren.ai#fix/fix-oss-document]. Sync verified byte-to-byte across all sync-action paths — the next sync-docs run after merge is a no-op diff.

Test plan

  • README Quick start npx skills add Canner/WrenAI --skill '*' resolves and installs
  • No remaining "Wren Engine" string in docs/core/
  • After merge: sync-docs.yml triggers, completes with changed=false, no auto-PR is created on docs.getwren.ai (the mirror commit is already there)

Aligns prose with the post-rebrand product name. Touches concepts,
guides, and get_started subtrees of docs/core/. The PyPI package name
`wren-engine` is preserved everywhere it appears (it is the actual
package identifier on PyPI, not the product name).

Mirrors the same change on the docs site (docs.getwren.ai PR
fix/fix-oss-document) so the next sync-docs run is a no-op diff.

…-driven

The previous Quick start used `pip install wren-engine` (without `[main]`
extra) and ended with `SELECT order_id FROM orders` against a freshly
scaffolded project that has no orders table — not actually runnable.
The new flow points at the documented agent-driven path: install skills,
let `wren-onboarding` walk a coding agent through environment checks,
project scaffolding, the first connection, and the first query. The
manual CLI path is preserved one click away in core/wren/README.md.

Adds a "Why WrenAI?" section before Quick start so a first-time reader
gets the problem framing — context layer for AI agents — instead of
diving straight into mechanics.

The previous skills install URL pointed at Canner/wren-engine, which
is now archived (see the README announcement above declaring the merge
into Canner/WrenAI/tree/main/core). Following the old URL fetched a
frozen snapshot of skills that will not receive updates.

The skills bundle in Canner/WrenAI installs four skills total; this
quickstart only walks through two of them, so the body now reflects
that without listing extras the focused jaffle_shop walkthrough does
not actually use, and links to installation.md for the full list.
