+What is this
+------------
+
+This is a javaagent that hooks into Kryo serializers to record a breakdown of how many bytes objects take in the output.
+
+The dump is quite ugly now, but the in-memory representation is a simple tree so we could put some nice visualisation on
+top if we want. 
+
+How do I run it
+---------------
+
+Build the agent:
+```
+./gradlew experimental:kryo-hook:jar
+```
+
+Add this JVM flag to what you're running:
+
+```
+-javaagent:<PROJECT>/experimental/kryo-hook/build/libs/kryo-hook.jar
+```
+
+The agent will dump the output when the JVM shuts down.
