 ## Project Naming
 
-- Use `ActorCore` when referring to the project in documentation and plain English
-- Use `actor-core` (kebab-case) when referring to the project in code, package names, and imports
+- Use `RivetKit` when referring to the project in documentation and plain English
+- Use `rivetkit` when referring to the project in code, package names, and imports
 
 ## Common Terminology
 
-- **Actor**: A stateful, long-lived entity that processes messages and maintains state
-- **Manager**: Component responsible for creating, routing, and managing actor instances
-- **Remote Procedure Call (RPC)**: Method for an actor to expose callable functions to clients
-- **Event**: Asynchronous message sent from an actor to connected clients
+- **Worker**: A stateful, long-lived entity that processes messages and maintains state
+- **Manager**: Component responsible for creating, routing, and managing worker instances
+- **Remote Procedure Call (RPC)**: Method for an worker to expose callable functions to clients
+- **Event**: Asynchronous message sent from an worker to connected clients
 - **Alarm**: Scheduled callback that triggers at a specific time
 
 ### Coordinated Topology Terminology
 
-- **Peer**: Individual actor instance in a coordinated network
-- **Node**: Physical or logical host running one or more actor peers
+- **Peer**: Individual worker instance in a coordinated network
+- **Node**: Physical or logical host running one or more worker peers
 
 ## Build Commands
 
 - **Type Check:** `yarn check-types` - Verify TypeScript types
-- **Check specific package:** `yarn check-types -F actor-core` - Check only specified package
+- **Check specific package:** `yarn check-types -F rivetkit` - Check only specified package
 - **Build:** `yarn build` - Production build using Turbopack
-- **Build specific package:** `yarn build -F actor-core` - Build only specified package
+- **Build specific package:** `yarn build -F rivetkit` - Build only specified package
 - **Format:** `yarn fmt` - Format code with Biome
 - Do not run the format command automatically.

+rivetkit supports three topologies that define how workers communicate and scale:

+- **Singleton:** A single instance of an worker running in one location

   - Use `UserError` for client-safe errors
   - Use `InternalError` for internal errors
 - Don't try to fix type issues by casting to unknown or any. If you need to do this, then stop and ask me to manually intervene.

 ## Development Notes
 
-- Prefer classes over factory functions
+- Prefer classes over fworkery functions
 - Use zod for runtime type validation
 - Use `assertUnreachable(x: never)` for exhaustive type checking in switch statements
 - Follow existing patterns for P2P networking
 - Add proper JSDoc comments for public APIs
 - Ensure proper error handling with descriptive messages
 - Run `yarn check-types` regularly during development to catch type errors early. Prefer `yarn check-types` instead of `yarn build`.
 - Use `tsx` CLI to execute TypeScript scripts directly (e.g., `tsx script.ts` instead of `node script.js`).
