## Overview

HEAD is a human-readable reference guide, not an executable application. A web author consults the guide, selects appropriate head elements and ordering, then places them in a document for browsers, search engines, and bots to interpret. The README documents foundational elements, metadata, resource links and scripts, and social/platform-specific tags; DEPRECATED.md is the separate deprecated-reference resource. There are no sampled runtime sources, so relationships shown are limited to those explicitly described in the README.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/joshbuchea/head/blob/master/README.md) (Head element guide), [`DEPRECATED.md`](https://github.com/joshbuchea/head/blob/master/DEPRECATED.md) (Deprecated guidance)
