 # Allstack
 
-Plan, build, verify, and ship across coding agents, with durable history and evidence tied to the delivered change.
+Opinionated product and engineering skills for Codex and Claude Code, backed by durable project memory and delivery evidence.
 
-**Status: implementation preview.** The Rust CLI implements local run storage, task coordination, host invocation, immutable handoffs, verification, and GitHub publication. Source-level support is distinct from release proof: use the [acceptance scenarios](docs/reference/release-acceptance.md) to audit actual host journeys, interruptions, and delivered artifacts.
+**Status: implementation preview.** Invoke native skills to shape an idea, plan a change, review an existing branch, exercise an application, or ship authorized work. AllSource, Chronis, and Prime support durable continuation underneath. Source support and real-host acceptance are tracked separately in the [documentation](docs/README.md).
 
 The [verification report](docs/reports/2026-10-24-cross-host-workflow-verification.md) records authenticated host execution, delivered forward-run evidence, reverse handoff observations, and supported limits. Private gate receipts remain readable through `allstack evidence <run>`; source-linked Prime context through `allstack recall <query>`.
 
 Allstack embeds [AllSource Core](https://github.com/all-source-os/all-source) 0.26.1 for run history and Prime graph storage, and calls Chronis through `cn --toon` for task state. Prime recall is local lexical matching over delivery nodes; vector search and hosted synchronization are outside this preview. Coding agents remain responsible for model execution. The first release targets Codex CLI and Claude Code on one Unix machine, with an explicit handoff between them.
 
 ## First complete job
 
-A developer plans a change in one host, continues implementation in another, resumes after an interruption, verifies the exact resulting commit, and publishes one reviewable pull request. The next host recovers the plan, workspace snapshot, evidence, and outstanding actions without copying a conversation transcript.
+A developer shapes an application change, reviews its architecture, implements it, checks concrete failure risks, exercises the real user flow, and publishes one verified PR. Each specialist also works independently. An explicit host change preserves the accepted plan, candidate, ownership, and outstanding checks without copying a conversation transcript.
 
 In this workflow, **ship means a verified commit pushed to a feature branch and an open pull request**. Merge and deployment are separate actions.
 
-## Component boundaries
+## Start in your coding host
+
+Install the CLI from a reviewed checkout with Rust 1.95 or later:
+
+```sh
+cargo install --path . --locked
+allstack -C /path/to/project init --skills-only --check
+allstack -C /path/to/project init --skills-only
+```
+
+Then invoke a skill by name. Codex accepts `$allstack-plan`; Claude Code accepts `/allstack-plan`. Existing sessions may need reopening for skill discovery.
+
+| Skill | Complete job |
+| --- | --- |
+| `allstack-shape` | Challenge demand, alternatives, and the outcome worth building. |
+| `allstack-plan` | Resolve architecture, failure behavior, compatibility, and acceptance. |
+| `allstack-review` | Find evidenced defects in an existing branch, diff, or PR. |
+| `allstack-qa` | Exercise the actual UI, API, CLI, or job using available tools. |
+| `allstack-ship` | Verify and publish the authorized change through managed delivery. |
+| `allstack-recall` | Recover relevant project knowledge and inspect its sources. |
+| `allstack-handoff` | Explicitly continue an active delivery in another host. |
+
+Skills-only setup needs no Rust project, Chronis executable, task, or delivery run. Independent shaping, planning, review, and QA use the native host's tools and permissions. Shared original methods live in [skills/](skills); Rust packages them for both hosts with capability overlays. `allstack skills` inspects the bundled interface without opening stores.
+
+See the [native-skills guide](docs/reference/native-skills.md) for installation, standalone memory, and enrollment into durable shipping. The [Spendcheck application](examples/spendcheck) demonstrates a concrete expense-report change through these methods.
