+# @nightowlsdev/agent-kit
+
+The shared foundation for the pre-built agent family (`@nightowlsdev/agent-builder` / `-researcher` /
+`-marketer` / `-designer` / `-writer`) — and for building your own.
+
+## Usage
+
+Host wiring is four steps (every agent package follows them):
+
+```ts
+import { importCuratedSkills, verifyGrants, ensurePrebuiltAgent } from "@nightowlsdev/agent-kit";
+import { materializeSkillStore, skillsShProvider } from "@nightowlsdev/skills";
+import { defineSwarm } from "@nightowlsdev/core";
+import { createResearcher, manifest } from "@nightowlsdev/agent-researcher";
+
+// 1. Import the package's curated skills.sh manifest ONCE per tenant (seed script / admin action).
+//    Strict pins by default: a drifted upstream is SKIPPED for review; renames are rejected.
+await importCuratedSkills({
+  sets: manifest.curatedSkills,
+  providers: { "skills.sh": skillsShProvider() },
+  storage, // { skills, skillsWritable } — createSupabaseStorage(...) has both
+  tenantId,
+  actor: { type: "service", serviceId: "seed", tenantId },
+});
+await verifyGrants(storage.skills, tenantId, ["deep-research"]); // the silent-miss check
+
+// 2. Wire the runtime injection seam (stored skills do NOTHING without it).
+const swarm = defineSwarm({
+  agents: [createResearcher({ tools: { webSearch } })], // 3. the factory into agents[]
+  dynamicSkills: materializeSkillStore(storage.skills),
+  models: {
+    allow: ["openai/gpt-5.5-mini"],
+    tier: { tiers: { swift: "openai/gpt-5.5-mini" }, default: "swift" }, // factories default to "tier:"
+  },
+  /* storage, modelFactory, cost, … */
+});
+
+// 4. Strict approval hosts: allowlist the read-only prebuilt tools so library reads don't suspend.
+//    toolApproval: { mode: "all-side-effecting", readOnly: [...DEFAULT_READ_ONLY_TOOLS, ...PREBUILT_READONLY_TOOL_NAMES] }
+```
+
+Full journey (storage, tier config, approvals): https://nightowls.dev/docs/adopt-prebuilt-agents
+
+On a persisted store, seed with `ensurePrebuiltAgent` (boot-safe, no version churn) and upgrade
+deliberately with `publishPrebuiltAgent` (a new immutable version; `rollback` stays available).
+
+## What's here
+
+- `CuratedSkillRef` / `CuratedSkillSet` — pinned external skill manifests (the packages ship refs +
+  reviewed snapshot pins, never third-party text).
+- `importCuratedSkills` — governed batch import over `@nightowlsdev/skills` (`pinMode: "strict"`
+  default, per-ref error isolation, `name-mismatch`/`unpinned` statuses) + `verifyGrants`.
+- `skillLibraryTools(repo, { names })` — `skill_library_list` / `skill_library_read`: hold a big
+  curated library at ~zero prompt cost and read one skill on demand as a FENCED tool result,
+  scoped to an explicit name list (never whole-tenant).
+- `assertToolRequirements` — fail-loud capability contracts (lists every missing tool + purpose).
+- `ensurePrebuiltAgent` / `publishPrebuiltAgent` — persisted-store lifecycle over core repo contracts.
+- `buildAgentSpec` / `PrebuiltAgentManifest` / `PrebuiltAgentOpts` — the shapes every agent package
+  exports (`modelId` defaults to `"tier:"`; `grantSkillNames` overrides the package's default grants).
+- `ALL_PREBUILT_TOOL_NAMES` / `PREBUILT_READONLY_TOOL_NAMES` — the tool-name registry (the skills
+  package's reserved-name list covers all of them; a kit test pins the sync).
+
+## Remaining
+
+- Tag-based library scoping (`SkillLibraryOpts.tags`) — v1 filters by name only.
+- Turnkey eval suites per agent — blocked on FR-018 (headless run→trajectory).
