+# The Counter
+
+> **[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]**
+>
+> Cadet, time to count things in text. Three counts:
+>
+> - **Total length** — `len(s)`
+> - **Word count** — `len(s.split())` (split breaks on whitespace)
+> - **`a` count** — `s.lower().count("a")` returns how many `a`s
+>
+> Implement `count(s)` that returns a dict with three keys:
+>
+> - `length` — total chars including spaces
+> - `words` — word count
+> - `a_count` — number of lowercase `a`s after lowercasing
+>
+> [END TRANSMISSION]
+
+## Your Task
+
+In `starter/starter.py`, build the dict using `len()`, `.split()`,
+`.lower()`, `.count()`.
+
+## Objectives
+
+- `count("Hello andromeda")` → `{"length": 15, "words": 2, "a_count": 2}`
+- All three keys present and correct for any sentence
