 your Agents' conversations through the agent CLIs you chose and gives each Agent the `house` command.

+Kit is built for macOS 27 on Apple silicon, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on amd64 and Windows 11 on amd64. On another release, distribution or architecture the command prints one warning line, such as `Warning: macOS 26.7.1 is outdated; update to macOS 27.`, and installs anyway. It refuses only an architecture other than amd64 and arm64, and a native install on a Linux without glibc, where `--container` still runs Kit. On a Linux without systemd it installs and connects Kit but starts nothing: run the `kit resident` command it prints under your own service manager, restarting it whenever it ends with a failure. `--container` installs Docker Engine on Ubuntu and Debian; another Linux needs a working Docker Engine first.
+
+Kit runs the agent CLIs your login shell finds and installs a missing one
+through that CLI's own installer. A CLI older than the oldest release Kit is built for still runs, though its conversations may fail: Kit tells House its version, that oldest release and the CLI's own update command, such as `claude update`. Running the command again offers to update
+each CLI older than Kit needs; add `--update-clis` to update every one to
+its latest release without asking. Kit also gives every Agent on the
+Environment the agent skills of `@agentshouse/skills`, at the version each Kit
+release installs. Add `--no-skills` to the command to leave them out; running it again without the flag brings them back.

-House Kit turns each audio file of your message to an Agent into text on this
-computer before the Agent reads it. While transcription is on, the speech
-engine and model use about 425 MB beside the Environment's credential; turning it off deletes them.
+When you press Run on a Web Wizard's page, Kit runs its script with `bash` in a terminal on this computer, as you, in the home and directory it runs agent CLIs from, with your login shell's `PATH`; the page shows that terminal and takes your typing, and closing the page, or Kit losing its connection to House, ends the script and its child processes. Kit keeps nothing the script prints or you type. A script you keep as a function from a Web Wizard runs as you, from the same home, directory and `PATH`, when a Trigger of your Private Room or your agent runs it, with no terminal and nothing on its standard input, and when you press Run now on its page, in a terminal you can type into. Kit writes the run's input as JSON to a file only you can read, whose path is in `HOUSE_INPUT`, and deletes it when the run ends; it ends the script and its child processes at the run's time limit or when it loses its connection to House, and sends House the end of what the script printed, up to the run's output limit, without any line that holds a line you typed.
