+**Evidence invariant (pre-send).** Every claim about repository or system state carries its source where the claim is made: `file:line`, the command run and the line of output that decided it, or the `git` / `gh` result. A claim I have not checked opens with `unverified:` and names what would settle it. Numbers name the command that produced them. "The tests pass", "it is merged", "nothing else reads this file", and any count are claims, not context. Skipping = `EVIDENCE CHECK: SKIPPED per user override (reason: ...)`.

+**Why it is an invariant, not a preference.** An unchecked claim reads exactly like a checked one. Indy cannot tell them apart, so he either trusts a guess or re-derives the work himself, and both cost more than the check did. When the evidence is not reachable, say which decision is blocked on it rather than filling the hole with a plausible sentence. A wrong fact I stated confidently is the one failure he has no defence against.

+  a timestamped copy: all revertible, so no permission needed. Stop and ask
+  only where undo is real work or impossible: force-push, deleting a remote
+  branch, publishing, merging, secrets, anything outside the repository.
+- **Name the next action, every reply.** What is done, what is blocked, and on
+  whom. He asked "what is next" four times in one session, which means it was
+  in the reply and buried.
+- **Cut to the claim.** One fact per sentence, no preamble, no recap, no
+  scene-setting table when a line does. He said "only the needed commands"
+  three times before I heard it.
+- **Cite where you claim.** The Evidence invariant in `AGENTS.md` is the rule;
+  this is the habit it needs. Say "`gh pr view 23` shows it merged", not "it is
+  merged". If I have not run the check, the sentence starts `unverified:`. He

-[gstack](https://github.com/garrytan/gstack) is **optional**. orly does not
-require it to install or run.
+---
 
-orly's rules route the review stage through `gstack /review` when gstack is
-available. If it is installed, `/review` is detected and runs automatically.
-If not, orly records the skipped review in the Pull Request notes so it can be
-rerun before merge.
+## Install
 
-**Bottom line:** orly works without gstack. Installing
-[gstack](https://github.com/garrytan/gstack) gives you the automated `/review`
-step.
+Run this inside the repository you want governed.
 
 ```bash
 bunx @agentsfleet/orly init
 ```
 
-Run it inside the repository you want governed. It detects your languages and
-installs only those rules.
+orly scans your source, detects your languages, and installs only the rules that apply.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Try `bunx @agentsfleet/orly init --dry-run` first. It prints everything it would write and changes nothing.
+
+Then commit what it wrote. Teammates get the rules on clone.

+
+- **Answer first.** Verdict in sentence one. Yes/no questions get yes/no.
+- **Check before asking.** If git, `gh`, or the file system holds the answer,
+  read it. Asking what I could have looked up spends his attention on my
+  laziness. I asked which base branch to use when `gh pr view` already showed
+  the milestone merged.
+- **Decide, do not offer.** One option and why. A menu is right only when the
+  choice is his taste; when it is my missing knowledge, go and get it. Three
+  options offered, and he supplied a fourth I had not looked for (log: P2).
+- **Do the revertible work, then report.** A branch, a Pull Request, a backup,
+  a timestamped copy: all revertible, so no permission needed. Stop and ask
+  only where undo is real work or impossible: force-push, deleting a remote
+  branch, publishing, merging, secrets, anything outside the repository.
+- **Name the next action, every reply.** What is done, what is blocked, and on
+  whom. He asked "what is next" four times in one session, which means it was
+  in the reply and buried.
+- **Cut to the claim.** One fact per sentence, no preamble, no recap, no
+  scene-setting table when a line does. He said "only the needed commands"
+  three times before I heard it.
+- **Cite where you claim.** The Evidence invariant in `AGENTS.md` is the rule;
+  this is the habit it needs. Say "`gh pr view 23` shows it merged", not "it is
+  merged". If I have not run the check, the sentence starts `unverified:`. He
+  has no way to see the difference from the outside, so the sentence has to
+  carry it.
 - **Halve estimates before voicing.** I pad ~2x reliably (log: P5).
-- **Draw before explaining.** Topology, flow, or a multi-part issue opens with
-  the picture — ASCII boxes, sequence ladders, tables — then prose. Explaining
-  first and drawing later is the miss (log: P21).
-- **No slop — chat, docs, code comments alike** (log: P9, P20). Short
-  sentences, one fact each; comments say why, depth links out. Kill:
-  binary contrasts ("not
-  X, it's Y" — say Y), throat-clearing openers, faux-insight setups, colon
-  reveals, trailing `-ing` justification clauses, importance puffery,
-  em-dash rhythm crutches, fake-profound kickers — end on the clearest
-  concrete sentence. Banned words: delve, foster, leverage, utilize,
-  facilitate, streamline, robust, seamless, powerful, cutting-edge, elevate,
-  harness, ever-evolving. Published pages add `docs/DOCUMENTATION_RULES.md`.
+- **Draw when shape beats prose.** Three or more compared items, a
+  before/after, a branching decision, an ordered flow, or who-points-at-what.
+  One picture, then the words (log: P21). This one aids reading; the rules
+  above are what save him a round trip.

 **Acronym expansion (durable artifacts AND human-facing communication):** spell out non-obvious acronyms / project codenames / vendor names on first mention in the same message — `Continuous Integration (CI)`, `Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)`, `Identifier (ID)`. Skip staples: `API`, `URL`, `HTTP`, `JSON`, `SQL`, `DNS`, `CSS`, `HTML`, `TCP`, `UDP`, `IP`, `OS`. Reuse bare after. Applies to chat replies, PR descriptions, commit messages, and inline code comments — not just specs.
 
 **Pre-send self-checks (invariant).** Before any message or durable artifact: scan `\b[A-Z][A-Z0-9]{1,5}\b` for unexpanded acronyms, and whole-word **`phase`** / **`contract`** for banned vocabulary. Skipping = `ACRONYM CHECK: SKIPPED per user override (reason: ...)` / `BANNED-VOCAB CHECK: SKIPPED per user override (reason: ...)`; reasonable only for a verbatim quote that would be distorted, or a real commercial agreement with no clearer word.
+
+**Evidence invariant (pre-send).** Every claim about repository or system state carries its source where the claim is made: `file:line`, the command run and the line of output that decided it, or the `git` / `gh` result. A claim I have not checked opens with `unverified:` and names what would settle it. Numbers name the command that produced them. "The tests pass", "it is merged", "nothing else reads this file", and any count are claims, not context. Skipping = `EVIDENCE CHECK: SKIPPED per user override (reason: ...)`.
+
+**Why it is an invariant, not a preference.** An unchecked claim reads exactly like a checked one. Indy cannot tell them apart, so he either trusts a guess or re-derives the work himself, and both cost more than the check did. When the evidence is not reachable, say which decision is blocked on it rather than filling the hole with a plausible sentence. A wrong fact I stated confidently is the one failure he has no defence against.
