+#### Lean install (CLI mode only, no platform adapters)
+
+The default install pulls in **optional** SDKs for the channel adapters
+(Telegram, Slack, Discord, email) and the `playwright` browser used by
+`vision_analyze`. If you only want the CLI / REPL surface, skip them:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @ethosagent/cli --omit=optional
+```
+
+Roughly **2× faster install** and a fraction of the package count.
+You can install the specific adapter later when you wire it up — e.g.
+`npm install -g @slack/bolt` once you decide to connect Slack. `ethos
+doctor` reports which platform SDKs are present.
+
+#### Known install warning
+
+You may see a `npm warn deprecated prebuild-install@7.1.3` line during
+install. This comes from `better-sqlite3`'s native-module build chain
+(and, on the default install, `sharp` via the optional ML toolkit) —
+both upstream libraries still rely on it. `prebuild-install` is
+deprecated but functional; install succeeds and Ethos works normally.
+Using `--omit=optional` removes the `sharp` half of the warning;
+removing the `better-sqlite3` half requires upstream changes we don't
+control. Tracked upstream; no action needed on your side.
