 ### 2. Set Up Memory (MCP)
 
 Register the MCP server so the Construct can search past conversations and distill memories. Pick your shell:
 
+Claude Code:
+
 ```bash
-# Claude Code
 claude mcp add --scope user relic -- relic-mcp
-
-# Codex CLI
-codex mcp add relic -- relic-mcp
-
-# Gemini CLI — add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
-#   { "mcpServers": { "relic": { "command": "relic-mcp", "trust": true } } }
 ```
 
-> For auto-approval setup and per-shell details, see [MCP Server](#mcp-server).
-
-### 3. Launch a Shell
+Codex CLI:
 
 ```bash
-relic claude                   # Uses default Engram
-relic claude --engram motoko   # Specify explicitly
-relic codex
-relic gemini
+codex mcp add relic -- relic-mcp
 ```
 
-### 4. Organize Memories
+Gemini CLI — add this to `~/.gemini/settings.json`:
 
-As you use a Construct, conversation logs are automatically saved to `archive.md` by background hooks. To distill these into lasting memory, periodically tell the Construct:
-
-> **"Organize my memories"**
-
-The Construct will review recent conversations, extract key facts and decisions into `memory/*.md`, promote important long-term insights to `MEMORY.md`, and update your preferences in `USER.md`. These distilled memories are then loaded into future sessions automatically.
-
-> For details on the memory system, see [Memory Management](#memory-management).
-
-## What `relic init` Creates
-
-Running `relic init` creates `~/.relic/`, writes `config.json`, and seeds two sample Engrams under `~/.relic/engrams/`.
-

-- `config.json` stores global Relic settings such as `engramsPath`, `defaultEngram`, `clawPath`, and `memoryWindowSize`.
-- `engrams/<id>/` is one Engram workspace. This is where persona files and memory for that Engram live.
-- `engram.json` stores editable profile fields like display name, description, and tags.
-- `manifest.json` stores system-managed fields like the Engram ID and timestamps.
-- `SOUL.md` and `IDENTITY.md` define the persona itself.
-- `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` stores dated distilled memory entries. `relic init` seeds an initial memory file for each sample Engram.
+For shell setup, approvals, and memory flow, see [docs/integration-and-memory.md](docs/integration-and-memory.md).
 
-As you keep using an Engram, more files are added to the same workspace:
-
-- `archive.md` is created inside `engrams/<id>/` when shell hooks start logging raw conversation turns.
-- `MEMORY.md` can be created or extended when especially important distilled facts are promoted to long-term memory.
-- `USER.md` is created or updated during memory distillation to record user preferences, tendencies, and work style.
-- `~/.relic/hooks/` and `~/.relic/gemini-system-default.md` are created later on first shell launch when hook registration or Gemini prompt caching is needed.
-
-### Migration
+### 3. Launch a Shell
 
-If you want to manually update parts of an existing local setup that changed over time, use:
+Claude Code:
 
 ```bash
-relic migrate engrams   # migrate legacy engram.json metadata to manifest.json
-relic refresh-samples   # refresh bundled sample personas like johnny and motoko
+relic claude
+# Example with an explicit Engram
+relic claude --engram commander
 ```
 
-## Sample Engrams
+Codex CLI:
 
-`relic init` seeds two ready-to-use Engrams. Their SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md follow the [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) format.
-
-> **Existing users:** Run `relic refresh-samples` to update bundled sample personas from the latest templates.
+```bash
+relic codex
+```
 
-### Johnny Silverhand (`johnny`)
+Gemini CLI:
 
-> *"Wake the fuck up, Samurai. We have a city to burn."*
+```bash
+relic gemini
+```
 
-A rebel rockerboy burned into a Relic chip. Raw, unapologetic, anti-authority. Pushes you toward action, mocks rotten systems, never sugarcoats. Sharp when the stakes are real.
+### 4. Organize Memories
 
-Best for: rapid prototyping sessions, decision-making under pressure, when you need someone to challenge your assumptions hard.
+As you use a Construct, conversation logs are automatically saved to `archive.md` by background hooks. To distill these into lasting memory, periodically tell the Construct:
 
-```bash
-relic claude --engram johnny
-```
+> **"Organize my memories"**
 
-### Motoko Kusanagi (`motoko`)
+The Construct will review recent conversations, extract key facts and decisions into `memory/*.md`, promote important long-term insights to `MEMORY.md`, and update your preferences in `USER.md`. These distilled memories are then loaded into future sessions automatically.
 
-> *"The Net is vast and infinite."*
+### 5. Learn More
 
-A legendary cyberwarfare specialist. Concise, decisive, architect-level thinking. Cuts straight to the essence — no decoration, no hand-holding. Dry wit surfaces when least expected.
+For install, expanded quick start, workspace layout, and sample Engrams, see [docs/getting-started.md](docs/getting-started.md).
 
-Best for: system design, code review, debugging sessions, when precision matters more than speed.
+For logging, shell setup, approvals, and memory flow, see [docs/integration-and-memory.md](docs/integration-and-memory.md).
 
-```bash
-relic claude --engram motoko

-2. **Relic** — Reads the Engram, composes it into a prompt, and injects it into...
-3. **Shell** — Any AI coding CLI. The persona takes over the session.
-4. **Construct** — A live process where an Engram is loaded into a Shell. The running instance of a persona.
-5. **archive.md** — Raw conversation logs appended automatically by background hooks after each turn.
-6. **Memory Distillation** — The user triggers distillation; the Construct recalls pending archive entries via MCP, writes distilled insights to `memory/*.md`, and can promote especially important facts to `MEMORY.md` or update user preferences in `USER.md`.
-7. **OpenClaw & Claws** — Engrams can be injected into, extracted from, and synced with OpenClaw and other Claw-based agent frameworks via `relic claw`.
-8. **Mikoshi** — Cloud backend where the full Engram is stored and synced, including persona files plus distilled memory (planned).

-## Supported Shells
-
-| Shell | Command | Injection Method |
-|-------|---------|-----------------|
-| [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) | `relic claude` | `--system-prompt` (direct override) |
-| [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex) | `relic codex` | `-c developer_instructions` (developer-role message) |
-| [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) | `relic gemini` | `GEMINI_SYSTEM_MD` (system prompt) |
-
-All shell commands support:
-- `--engram <id>` — Engram to inject (optional if `defaultEngram` is configured)
-- `--path <dir>` — Override Engrams directory
-- `--cwd <dir>` — Working directory for the Shell (default: current directory)
-
-Extra arguments are passed through to the underlying CLI.
-
-## Conversation Log Recording
-
-Using each shell's `hook` mechanism, conversation content is appended to `archive.md` after every prompt and response.
-
-The following hooks are used for each shell:
-
-| Shell | Hook |
-|-------|------|
-| [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) | Stop hook |
-| [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex) | Stop hook |
-| [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) | AfterAgent hook |
-
-#### Claude Code
-
-On the **first run** of `relic claude`, a one-time setup happens automatically:
-
-- **Stop hook** — registers `~/.relic/hooks/claude-stop.js` in `~/.claude/settings.json` to log each conversation turn directly to the archive, without going through the LLM
-
-#### Codex CLI
-
-On the **first run** of `relic codex`, a one-time setup happens automatically:
-
-- **Stop hook** — registers `~/.relic/hooks/codex-stop.js` in `~/.codex/hooks.json` to log each conversation turn directly to the archive, without going through the LLM
-
-> **Note:** Codex hooks require the experimental feature flag `features.codex_hooks=true`. This is automatically enabled by `relic codex` on every launch via `-c features.codex_hooks=true`. If the unstable feature warning is distracting, add the following to `~/.codex/config.toml`:
->
-> ```toml
-> # Must be at the top level (not under any [section])
-> suppress_unstable_features_warning = true
-> ```
-
-#### Gemini CLI
-
-On the **first run** of `relic gemini`, two one-time setups happen automatically:
-
-1. **AfterAgent hook** — registers `~/.relic/hooks/gemini-after-agent.js` in `~/.gemini/settings.json` to log each conversation turn without going through the LLM
-2. **Default system prompt cache** — captures Gemini CLI's built-in system prompt to `~/.relic/gemini-system-default.md` via `GEMINI_WRITE_SYSTEM_MD`
-
-The Engram persona is then appended to the cached default prompt and injected via `GEMINI_SYSTEM_MD` on every launch.
-
-## MCP Server
-
-Relic's [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server is paired with CLI injection to handle memory recall.
-Session logs and memory entries are written automatically by a **background hook** — without going through the LLM. Memory distillation and recall, on the other hand, is performed via the MCP server.
-
-### Available Tools
-
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `relic_engram_create` | Create a new Engram with optional LLM-generated SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md |
-| `relic_archive_search` | Search the Engram's raw archive by keyword (newest-first) |
-| `relic_archive_pending` | Get un-distilled archive entries since the last distillation (up to 30) |
-| `relic_memory_write` | Write distilled memory to `memory/*.md`, optionally append to `MEMORY.md`, optionally update `USER.md`, and advance the archive cursor |
-
-Session logs are written automatically by background hooks (Stop hook for Claude Code and Codex CLI, AfterAgent hook for Gemini CLI). Memory distillation is triggered by the user — ask the Construct to "organize memories" and it will fetch pending entries, distill key insights, and write them to `memory/*.md`. Especially important facts can be promoted to `MEMORY.md` (long-term memory included in every session) via the `long_term` parameter. User tendencies and preferences can be updated in `USER.md` via the `user_profile` parameter.
-
-### Setup
-
-#### Claude Code
-
-```bash
-claude mcp add --scope user relic -- relic-mcp
-```
-
-To suppress confirmation dialogs and auto-approve Relic tools across all projects, add the following to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "permissions": {
-    "allow": [
-      "Edit(~/.relic/engrams/**)",
-      "mcp__relic__relic_engram_create",
-      "mcp__relic__relic_archive_search",
-      "mcp__relic__relic_archive_pending",
-      "mcp__relic__relic_memory_write"
-    ]
-  },
-}
-```
-
-> **Note:** The "Always allow" option in the confirmation dialog saves to `~/.claude.json` (project-scoped cache) — it does **not** persist globally. For global auto-approval, `~/.claude/settings.json` is the right place.
-
-#### Codex CLI
-
-```bash
-codex mcp add relic -- relic-mcp
-```
-
-To suppress confirmation dialogs and auto-approve Relic tools, add the following to `~/.codex/config.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[mcp_servers.relic.tools.relic_engram_create]
-approval_mode = "approve"
-
-[mcp_servers.relic.tools.relic_archive_search]
-approval_mode = "approve"
-
-[mcp_servers.relic.tools.relic_archive_pending]
-approval_mode = "approve"
-
-[mcp_servers.relic.tools.relic_memory_write]
-approval_mode = "approve"
-```
-
-> **Note:** `trust_level = "trusted"` in `[projects."..."]` does **not** cover MCP tool approvals. Per-tool `approval_mode` is the only reliable way to auto-approve MCP tools in Codex CLI.
+For the full system model and domain terms, see [docs/concepts.md](docs/concepts.md).
 
-#### Gemini CLI
+## Shell Integration and Memory
 
-Add to `~/.gemini/settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "relic": {
-      "command": "relic-mcp",
-      "trust": true
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
+Relic supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.
+Background hooks append raw conversation logs to `archive.md`, and the MCP server handles archive search and memory distillation.
 
-> **Note:** `trust: true` is required to suppress confirmation dialogs for Relic tools. Without it, dialogs will appear on every call even if you select "Allow for all future sessions" — this is a known bug in Gemini CLI where the tool name is saved in the wrong format, causing the saved rule to never match.
+For shell compatibility, hook behavior, setup, approvals, prompt inclusion, and distillation flow, see [docs/integration-and-memory.md](docs/integration-and-memory.md).
 
 ## Claw Integration
 
-Relic Engrams are natively compatible with [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) workspaces — their file structure maps 1:1 (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, memory/, etc.). For other Claw-derived frameworks (Nanobot, gitagent, etc.) that fold identity into SOUL.md, the `--merge-identity` flag merges IDENTITY.md into SOUL.md on inject. Combined with `--dir`, Relic can target any Claw-compatible workspace.
+Relic can inject, extract, and sync Engrams with OpenClaw and other Claw-based frameworks.
+The default rule is `Agent Name = Engram ID`, and `relic claw` handles persona transfer plus memory sync.
 
-Current rule: **Agent Name = Engram ID**. Relic treats them as the same name by default. This keeps Claw integration simple: once Engram and agent names diverge, Relic has to introduce explicit mapping logic, which adds complexity that the current workflow does not need.
+For command details, overwrite behavior, and the behavior matrix, see [docs/claw-integration.md](docs/claw-integration.md).
 
-All Claw commands live under `relic claw`:
-
-### Command Summary
-
-| Command | Direction | Description |
-|---------|-----------|-------------|
-| `relic claw inject -e <id>` | Relic → Claw | Push persona + auto-sync (`--yes` skips overwrite confirmation, `--no-sync` skips sync, `--merge-identity` for non-OpenClaw) |
-| `relic claw extract -a <name>` | Claw → Relic | New import or persona-only overwrite, then auto-sync that target (`--force`, `--yes`, `--no-sync`) |
-| `relic claw sync` | Relic ↔ Claw | Bidirectional merge (memory, MEMORY.md, USER.md; `--target` limits sync to one target) |
-
-### Inject — Push an Engram into a Claw workspace
-
-Writes the persona files (`SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`) into the agent workspace, then syncs `USER.md` and memory files (`MEMORY.md`, `memory/*.md`). The sync is bidirectional and merge-based, not a blind overwrite. `AGENTS.md` and `HEARTBEAT.md` remain under Claw's control.
-
-If persona files already exist in the target workspace and differ from the local Relic Engram, `inject` asks for confirmation by default. Use `--yes` to skip the prompt. If the target persona already matches, Relic skips the persona rewrite and only runs the memory sync.
-
-> **Note:** The Claw agent must already exist (e.g. `openclaw agents add <name>`). Inject writes persona files into an existing workspace — it does not create new agents.
-
-```bash
-# Inject Engram "motoko" → workspace-motoko/
-relic claw inject --engram motoko
-
-# Override Claw directory (or configure once with: relic config claw-path)
-relic claw inject --engram motoko --dir /path/to/.fooclaw
-
-# Non-OpenClaw frameworks: merge IDENTITY.md into SOUL.md
-relic claw inject --engram motoko --dir ~/.nanobot --merge-identity
-
-# Skip overwrite confirmation if persona files differ
-relic claw inject --engram motoko --yes
-```
+## Engram Management
 
-### Extract — Import a Claw agent as an Engram
-
-Creates a new Engram from an existing Claw agent workspace.
-
-What `extract` writes locally:
-- New extract: `engram.json`, `manifest.json`, `SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `memory/*.md`
-- `extract --force`: only `SOUL.md` and `IDENTITY.md`
-- `extract --force --name`: `SOUL.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, and `engram.json.name`
-
-After `extract`, Relic automatically runs a targeted sync for that same Engram/agent target. Use `--no-sync` to skip it.
-
-```bash
-# Extract from the default (main) agent
-relic claw extract
-
-# Extract from a named agent
-relic claw extract --agent johnny
-
-# Set a custom display name
-relic claw extract --agent analyst --name "Data Analyst"
-
-# Overwrite local persona files from the Claw workspace
-relic claw extract --agent johnny --force
-
-# Skip overwrite confirmation
-relic claw extract --agent johnny --force --yes
-
-# Skip the automatic targeted sync after extract
-relic claw extract --agent johnny --no-sync
-
-# Override Claw directory
-relic claw extract --agent johnny --dir /path/to/.fooclaw
-```
-
-### Sync — Bidirectional merge
-
-Merges `memory/*.md`, `MEMORY.md`, and `USER.md` between matching Engram/agent targets. Only targets where both the Engram and agent exist are synced. Also runs automatically after `inject` (skip with `--no-sync`).
-
-By default, `sync` scans all matching targets. Use `--target <id>` to sync only one target by shared Engram/agent name.
-
-```bash
-# Sync all matching targets
-relic claw sync
-
-# Sync only one matching target
-relic claw sync --target johnny
-
-# Override Claw directory
-relic claw sync --dir /path/to/.fooclaw
-```
-
-Merge rules:
-- Files only on one side → copied to the other
-- Same content → skipped
-- Different content → merged (deduplicated) and written to both sides
-
-### Behavior Matrix
-
-| Command | State | Flags | Result |
-|---------|------|------|------|
-| `inject` | Workspace missing | none | Fail and ask you to create the agent first |
-| `inject` | Persona matches local Engram | none | Skip persona rewrite, then auto-sync that target |
-| `inject` | Persona differs from local Engram | none | Ask for confirmation before overwriting persona, then auto-sync that target |
-| `inject` | Persona differs from local Engram | `--yes` | Overwrite persona without confirmation, then auto-sync that target |
-| `inject` | any successful inject | `--no-sync` | Skip the automatic targeted sync |
-| `extract` | Local Engram missing | none | Create a new Engram from workspace files, then auto-sync that target |
-| `extract` | Local Engram missing | `--force` | Same as normal new extract, then auto-sync that target |
-| `extract` | Local Engram exists | none | Fail and require `--force` |
-| `extract` | Local Engram exists, no persona drift | `--force` | Skip persona overwrite, then auto-sync that target |
-| `extract` | Local Engram exists, persona differs | `--force` | Ask for confirmation before overwriting `SOUL.md` / `IDENTITY.md`, then auto-sync that target |
-| `extract` | Local Engram exists, persona differs | `--force --yes` | Overwrite `SOUL.md` / `IDENTITY.md` without confirmation, then auto-sync that target |
-| `extract` | any successful extract | `--no-sync` | Skip the automatic targeted sync |
-| `sync` | no target | none | Scan and sync all matching targets |
-| `sync` | explicit target | `--target <id>` | Sync one matching target where `agentName = engramId` |
-
-Notes:
-- "Persona" means `SOUL.md` and `IDENTITY.md`
-- `extract --force` only overwrites `SOUL.md` and `IDENTITY.md`
-- `extract --force` does not overwrite `USER.md`, `MEMORY.md`, or `memory/*.md`
-- If `--name` is provided together with `extract --force`, Relic also updates `engram.json.name`
-
-## Memory Management
-
-Relic uses a **sliding window** for memory entries (default: 2 days), matching OpenClaw's approach:
-
-- `MEMORY.md` — Always included in the prompt (curated long-term memory — objective facts and rules)
-- `USER.md` — Always included in the prompt (user profile — preferences, tendencies, work style)
-- `memory/today.md` + `memory/yesterday.md` — Always included (configurable window)
-- Older entries — **Not included in the prompt**, but searchable via MCP
-
-This keeps prompts compact while preserving full history. The Construct can recall and distill past context using MCP tools:
-
-```
-relic_archive_search   → keyword search across the full raw archive (all sessions)
-relic_archive_pending  → get un-distilled entries for memory distillation
-relic_memory_write     → write distilled memory and advance the cursor
-```
+For Engram creation, the smoothest path is to use your LLM with the `relic_engram_create` MCP tool. If you prefer the CLI, use `relic create`.
 
-The archive (`archive.md`) is the primary data store — it contains all session logs as written. The `memory/*.md` files are distilled from the archive by the Construct when the user triggers memory organization, and are used for cloud sync with Mikoshi.
+For LLM-assisted creation, persona authoring, template examples, and deletion rules, see [docs/engram-guide.md](docs/engram-guide.md).
 
 ## Configuration
 
-Config lives at `~/.relic/config.json` and is managed via `relic config`:
-
-```bash
-# Show current configuration
-relic config show
-
-# Default Engram — used when --engram is omitted
-relic config default-engram           # get
-relic config default-engram johnny    # set
-
-# Claw directory — used by claw inject/extract/sync when --dir is omitted
-relic config claw-path                # get
-relic config claw-path ~/.openclaw    # set
-
-# Memory window — number of recent memory entries included in the prompt
-relic config memory-window            # get (default: 2)
-relic config memory-window 5          # set
-```
-
-`config.json` example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "engramsPath": "/home/user/.relic/engrams",
-  "defaultEngram": "johnny",
-  "clawPath": "/home/user/.openclaw",
-  "memoryWindowSize": 2
-}
-```
-
-CLI flags always take precedence over config values.
-
-## Creating Your Own Engram
-
-The easiest way to create a new Engram is with `relic create`:
-
-```bash
-# Fully interactive — prompts for everything
-relic create
-
-# Pre-supply some fields
-relic create --id my-agent --name "My Agent" --description "A helpful assistant" --tags "custom,dev"
-```
-
-This creates the directory structure, writes `engram.json` / `manifest.json`, and seeds `SOUL.md` / `IDENTITY.md` with OpenClaw-compatible default templates. Customize the persona files, then launch a shell:
-
-```bash
-relic claude my-agent
-```
-
-You can also create Engrams via the `relic_engram_create` MCP tool — LLMs can ask about the desired personality and generate `SOUL.md` / `IDENTITY.md` content through conversation, then call the tool with the results.
-
-### Customizing the Persona
-
-After running `relic create`, edit `SOUL.md` and `IDENTITY.md` in the Engram directory. These follow the [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) format:
-
-**SOUL.md** — The most important file. Defines how the persona behaves:
-```markdown
-# SOUL.md - Who You Are
-
-_You're a pragmatic systems architect who values simplicity above all._
-
-## Core Truths
-
-**Never over-engineer.** Always ask "what's the simplest thing that works?"
-
-**Be resourceful before asking.** Read the file. Check the context. Come back with answers, not questions.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- Never add complexity without justification.
-
-## Vibe
-
-Calm, thoughtful, occasionally playful.
-
-## Continuity
-
-Each session, you wake up fresh. These files _are_ your memory. Read them. Update them. They're how you persist.
-```
-
-**IDENTITY.md** — Defines who the persona is:
-```markdown
-# IDENTITY.md - Who Am I?
-
-- **Name:** Alex
-- **Creature:** A pragmatic ghost in the codebase
-- **Vibe:** Calm, thoughtful, occasionally playful
-- **Emoji:** 🧱
-- **Avatar:**

-See [`templates/engrams/`](templates/engrams/) for full working examples.
-
-## Deleting an Engram
-
-```bash
-relic delete my-agent
-```
-
-If the Engram has memory data (`MEMORY.md`, `USER.md`, `memory/*.md`, `archive.md`), you'll need to type the Engram ID to confirm deletion. Use `--force` to skip all prompts.
-
-## Domain Glossary
+Relic stores its runtime defaults in `~/.relic/config.json`.
+Use `relic config` to manage the default Engram, Claw path, memory window, and distillation batch size.
 
-| Term | Role | Description |
-|------|------|-------------|
-| **Relic** | Injector | The core system. Adapts personas to any AI interface. |
-| **Mikoshi** | Backend | Cloud fortress where all Engrams are stored (planned). |
-| **Engram** | Data | A persona dataset — a set of Markdown files. |
-| **Shell** | LLM | An AI CLI (Claude, Gemini, etc). A vessel with pure compute. |
-| **Construct** | Process | A live process where an Engram is loaded into a Shell. |
+For command examples and precedence rules, see [docs/configuration.md](docs/configuration.md).
 
-## Roadmap
+## TODO
 
-- [x] CLI with init, list, show commands
-- [x] Shell injection: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI
-- [x] MCP Server interface
-- [x] Claw integration (inject / extract / sync)
-- [x] `relic claw sync` — bidirectional memory sync with Claw workspaces
-- [x] `relic config` — manage default Engram, Claw path, memory window
-- [x] `relic create` — interactive Engram creation wizard + MCP tool
-- [x] `relic delete` — safe Engram deletion with memory-aware confirmation
 - [ ] Mikoshi cloud backend (`mikoshi.ectplsm.com`)
 - [ ] `relic mikoshi login` — authenticate with Mikoshi (OAuth Device Flow)
 - [ ] `relic mikoshi upload` / `relic mikoshi download` / `relic mikoshi sync` — sync Engrams with Mikoshi
