 [Ory](https://ory.com) bundled into [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli): skills and TOML slash commands that scaffold Ory authentication into your codebase, a local Ory stack you can spin up in one command, and (when pointed at an Ory project) authentication, authorization, and audit for every tool Gemini runs.
 
-## Install
+You don't need an Ory account or any prior Ory experience to start.
+
+## Prerequisites
 
-Try these in order; the first that works is the simplest path:
+- [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) installed and signed in
+- Node.js **≥ 24**
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (only needed for the local Ory stack)
+- macOS or Linux. Windows works via WSL2.
 
-**1. Google's public extension registry.** Find **Ory Agent Extension** and install:
+## Install
+
+In your shell:
 
 ```bash
 gemini extensions install ory-agent-extension
 ```
 
-**2. The Ory-hosted extension source:**
+That's it — skills, TOML slash commands, hooks, and the Ory MCP server are now registered.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Alternative install paths</summary>
+
+If the public extension registry isn't available, either of these registers the same extension:
 
 ```bash
+# Ory-hosted extension source
 gemini extensions install https://github.com/ory/gemini-cli-extension
 ```
 
-**3. The Ory installer.** No prior `npm install` required:
-
 ```bash
+# Direct installer, no prior npm install required
 npx @ory/gemini-cli install
 npx @ory/gemini-cli uninstall
 ```
 
-Every flow installs the same extension: skills, TOML slash commands, hooks, and the Ory MCP server. If the `gemini` binary isn't on your `PATH`, `npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini-setup` writes the extension config directly.

-## Developer experience
+</details>
 
-This extension is a productivity layer for Ory itself. You don't need a real Ory project, an account, or any prior Ory experience to start using it.
+## Quickstart (≈ 3 minutes)
 
-### Skills for scaffolding Ory into your application
+From any project where you'd like Ory authentication, inside Gemini CLI:
+
+1. **Start a local Ory instance.** Ask Gemini *"start the local Ory stack"* or run:
 
-Ask Gemini to add Ory auth to your codebase. The extension bundles four skills that the model auto-invokes by description:
+   ```
+   /ory:local-up
+   ```
 
-- **`ory-auth-setup`**: full project setup. Install the Ory CLI, create an Ory Network project, add Ory Elements, configure the SDK, build the auth pages, wire session middleware.
-- **`ory-login-flow`**: login, registration, recovery, verification, and settings pages with Ory Elements. Next.js App Router and React SPA variants.
-- **`ory-social-login`**: Google, GitHub, Apple, Microsoft, Discord, and other OIDC providers with Jsonnet data mappers.
-- **`ory-local-dev`**: drive the local Ory stack (below) from within Gemini to prototype and test against without a remote project.
+   A banner prints the seeded test user's email and password. Note them — you'll log in with them in step 3.
 
-Skills are versioned with the extension so guidance stays in sync as Ory APIs evolve.
+2. **Scaffold Ory into your project.** Ask Gemini *"add Ory auth to this app"* or invoke the `ory-auth-setup` skill.
+
+   Gemini installs Ory Elements, wires the SDK, generates the login / registration / recovery / verification / settings pages, and sets up session middleware. It targets the local stack from step 1, so no signup or API key is needed.
+
+3. **Sign in.** Start your app, visit the login page Gemini added, and sign in with the seeded credentials. You now have a real Ory session backed by a real Ory stack — locally, offline, with zero configuration.
+
+That's the full Ory DX path. Stop here if you're just evaluating the extension. Continue to [Agent security](#agent-security) when you're ready to enforce.
+
+## What's included
+
+### Skills for scaffolding Ory into your application
+
+The extension bundles four skills that Gemini auto-invokes by description. Ask Gemini in natural language or invoke a skill directly:
+
+- **`ory-auth-setup`** — full project setup. Install the Ory CLI, create an Ory Network project (or use the local one), add Ory Elements, configure the SDK, build the auth pages, wire session middleware.
+- **`ory-login-flow`** — login, registration, recovery, verification, and settings pages with Ory Elements. Next.js App Router and React SPA variants.
+- **`ory-social-login`** — Google, GitHub, Apple, Microsoft, Discord, and other OIDC providers with Jsonnet data mappers.
+- **`ory-local-dev`** — drive the local Ory stack from within Gemini to prototype and test without a remote project.
 
 ### Ory MCP server
 
-Bundled and registered automatically. It exposes the Ory CLI and the Ory Network REST API as MCP tools so Gemini can manage identities, OAuth2 clients, projects, permission tuples, and configuration without ever leaving the chat. Useful for seeding test data, verifying a scaffolded integration, or running one-off admin tasks.

+## Pointing at a real Ory project
 
-## Configure
+The Quickstart uses the local stack. If you have a hosted [Ory Network](https://console.ory.sh) project, point the extension at it:
 
 ```bash
-npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini configure --project-url https://<id>.projects.oryapis.com --api-key ory_pat_...
+npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini configure \
+  --project-url https://<id>.projects.oryapis.com \
+  --api-key ory_pat_...
 ```
 
-Config is saved to `~/.config/ory-agent-plugins/config.json` and shared across every Ory agent plugin or extension on the machine. Without it the extension still loads cleanly and runs in **pass-through mode**: skills and commands work, but nothing is blocked.

-- **Authentication.** Two identities. The human at the keyboard (the **user**) authenticates interactively via Ory Identities when `ORY_AUTH_GATE=1`. The Gemini process (the **agent**) gets its own OAuth2 identity, self-registered via Dynamic Client Registration on first run.
-- **Authorization.** Before any tool runs, the extension checks Ory Permissions against the user's subject and blocks the call on `deny`. MCP tool calls additionally get a server-level check.
-- **Audit.** Every decision (allow, deny, fallback) is recorded as a structured trace span: NDJSON file output and/or OTLP/HTTP export to Jaeger, Honeycomb, Grafana, and similar collectors. The user-to-agent delegation is written to Ory as a Zanzibar tuple so "agent X acting on behalf of user Y" stays queryable after tokens expire.

-## CLI
+### Enable enforcement
+
+After install the extension runs in **observe mode**: every tool call is checked against Ory Permissions, but a deny is recorded as a `permission.observe_deny` audit span and the tool runs anyway. This lets you see what *would* be blocked before turning on hard blocking.
+
+1. **Turn on the user gate.** In your shell:
+
+   ```bash
+   export ORY_AUTH_GATE=1
+   ```
+
+   The next Gemini session opens a browser for PKCE login. Subsequent sessions reuse the persisted token until it expires.
+
+2. **Bootstrap tuples for the built-in tools.** One idempotent command grants the current user `use` on every tool Gemini ships with (read_file, write_file, shell, …):
+
+   ```bash
+   npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini permissions bootstrap
+   ```
+
+   If a user identity is already cached at install time, the installer runs this for you automatically — re-run after adding tools, switching subjects, or changing the namespace.
+
+3. **Check coverage.** `permissions status` probes every tool in the harness's catalog and prints allowed / denied per tool:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini permissions status
+   ```
+
+   Add tuples for any MCP server tools or custom commands by hand, or via the Ory MCP server from inside Gemini (*"grant me use on the shell tool"*).
+
+4. **Promote to enforce.** Once the observe-mode logs look right, switch over:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini permissions enforce
+   ```
+
+   Denies now block the tool call; Gemini shows the denial reason and the decision is recorded as a `tool.block` trace span with `blocked: true`. Switch back any time with `permissions observe`.
+
+## CLI reference
 
 ```
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini install                             [--link]
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini uninstall
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini configure                           [--project-url <url>] [--api-key <key>] [--audit-only]
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini agent <status|unregister>           Manage the agent's OAuth2 identity
+npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini permissions <status|bootstrap|observe|enforce>
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini local <up|down|status|seed|logs|env|configure|reset>
 npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini status
 ```
 
+Highlights:
+
+- `agent status` — show the current persisted DCR identity for the agent.
+- `permissions observe` / `permissions enforce` — switch between "log denies, allow through" (the install default) and "block denies." `permissions bootstrap` writes `use` tuples for the harness's built-in tools so the promotion path doesn't require hand-writing relationships.
+- `configure --audit-only` — kill switch that disables Ory entirely (no auth, no permission checks; only audit logging of tool invocations). For phased rollouts, prefer `permissions observe` over `--audit-only`.
+- `local seed` / `local env` — reseed the test user, or print env vars for pointing other tools at the local stack.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **`/ory:local-up` fails.** Make sure Docker is running and ports `3000`, `4000`, `4100`, and `16686` are free.
+- **PKCE login loops.** Clear persisted state with `npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli ory-gemini agent unregister` and retry.
+- **`npx` fetches an old version.** Force a fresh fetch: `npx -y -p @ory/gemini-cli@latest ory-gemini …`.
+- **Need more signal.** Set `ORY_AGENT_DEBUG=true` and `ORY_AGENT_LOG_FILE=/tmp/ory.log` to capture structured logs.
