+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "github.com/UID9622/lh-standard-adapter/lhstandardadapter"
+)
+
+func main() {

+    
+    data := map[string]interface{}{
+        "code":   "print('hello')",
+        "module": "demo",
+    }
+    
+    wrapped, err := adapter.Wrap(data, "code", "P04")
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)

+    
+    fmt.Println("DNA:", wrapped.DNA)
+    fmt.Println("Pattern:", wrapped.Audit.BehaviorPattern)
+    fmt.Println("Color:", wrapped.Audit.Color)
+    
+    result := adapter.Validate(wrapped)
+    fmt.Println("Valid:", result.Valid)
+    fmt.Println("Summary:", result.Summary)
+}
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `NewAdapter(uid, device string) *Adapter`
+
+Create a new adapter instance.
+
+### `(*Adapter).Wrap(data interface{}, taskType, persona string) (*WrappedPayload, error)`
+
+Wrap a payload with DNA traceability and seven-factor audit metadata.
+
+### `(*Adapter).Validate(wrapped *WrappedPayload) ValidationResult`
+
+Validate a wrapped payload for standard compliance.
+
+### `(*Adapter).GetSchemas() (dnaSchema, auditSchema map[string]interface{})`
+
+Get JSON schemas for DNA and Audit formats.
+
+### `Wrap(data, taskType, persona, uid, device string) (*WrappedPayload, error)`
+
+Convenience one-shot wrapper function.
+
+## Features
+
+- Zero external dependencies (Go stdlib only)
