+# Autonomous Listing Service (MVP Scaffold)
+
+This folder contains a FastAPI-based microservice that simulates the AI pipeline defined in `docs/autonomous_listing_service.md`. It is not production-ready yet, but it provides a runnable skeleton that:
+
+1. Accepts listing requests with seller notes, assets, preferences, and target platforms.
+2. Runs through placeholder pipelines for image enhancement, marketing copy, and multi-platform publishing.
+3. Returns a structured preview containing the listing status, suggested price, generated description, and enhanced asset URIs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd services/autonomous_listing
+python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+uvicorn app.main:app --reload
+```
+
+POST a sample request:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/listings \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "raw_description": "Mid-century walnut coffee table, gentle wear, includes glass top.",
+    "category": "furniture",
+    "location": "Austin, TX",
+    "assets": [{"source_uri": "https://example.com/photo1.jpg"}],
+    "target_platforms": ["craigslist", "mercari"],
+    "preferences": {"tone": "premium", "target_price": 350}
+  }'
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+- Replace the stubbed pipelines (`image_enhancer`, `description_generator`, `publisher`) with real AI agents and marketplace adapters.
+- Connect to object storage for asset handling and to the knowledge/memory layers described in the main blueprint.
+- Embed telemetry + mission diary hooks so the service feeds the agency’s iterative improvement loop.
