+**Menus are keyed on the PATH, not the agent (v0.11).** Many agents share one skills directory —
+18 entries in the agent matrix use `.agents/skills` as their project root — so the gate-target and
+default-target menus list each *distinct* root once, labelled with the agents that resolve to it
+(`19 agents (project): Amp, Replit, Universal, +16 more`), and `skillsRoots`/`mcpTargets` are
+written deduped. `config.agents` still records every agent, since it's an id→root map. Detection
+output says so explicitly when roots collapse (`→ 21 agents share 3 distinct skills root(s)`).
+Configs written by earlier versions are deduped on load, so no re-run is required to clean one up.
+
+**Narrowed to agents you actually have (v0.11).** Because a shared directory can't tell you which
+of its 18 agents you use, init also checks PATH: a root is pre-selected when at least one agent
+mapped to it has its CLI installed, and roots with none are still listed, just switched off with
+the reason shown.
+
+```
+[x] 1. /Users/you/.agents/skills
+       on PATH: Codex, Gemini CLI (project) (+17 other agents share this path)
+[ ] 3. /Users/you/.openclaw/skills
+       OpenClaw (global) — no verified CLI name to check
+```
+
+The PATH check is a **look-up only — nothing found is ever executed** (no `--version` probe), and
+binary names are held to the same evidence bar as the skill paths: an agent with no verified
+command name reports "unknown", never "not installed". `--all-agents` turns narrowing off, and it
+disables itself automatically if no agent CLI is found at all, so it can never reduce a working
+detection to an empty config. The handoff menu is only *reordered* by it — installed CLIs float to
+the top and everything detected stays pickable.
+
+**Selecting things (v0.11).** The multi-selects take a whole answer at once — `2`, `1 3`, `2, 4`,
+`2-5`, plus `all` and `none` — and Enter confirms. Anything unrecognized is named back to you and
+ignored, never silently swallowed. The single-choice prompts (default target, handoff agent)
+**re-ask** on an answer that isn't one listed number instead of falling back to option 1, so a
+multi-value or mistyped answer can no longer write a target you didn't choose. Ctrl+D at any
+prompt exits cleanly.

+skill-forge routine                       # audit + drift + registry, one report, writes nothing else
+skill-forge routine --json --offline      # for a scheduler: one JSON document, no network
+skill-forge routine --fail-on high        # exit 1 when a high/critical finding exists
+skill-forge routine --housekeeping        # opt in to bounded writes (see below)
+```
+
+The whole maintenance pipeline in one command, shaped for cron. Every other command answers one
+question; keeping a set healthy means running four and correlating them by hand, which is exactly
+what nobody does on a schedule. `routine` runs the audit, drift, and registry **engines**,
+correlates them into one report and one summary, and exits with a code a scheduler can alert on.
+
+**Non-interactive by construction** — it never prompts, so it cannot hang a scheduled job. It is
+also the only schedulable command that writes, so what it may write is fenced:
+
+| | writes |
+|---|---|
+| always | the combined report + `audit-state.json`, both under `~/.skill-forge` |
+| `--housekeeping` | prunes quarantine sandboxes older than `--prune-days` (default 30); closes queue entries whose skill is gone from disk |
+| `--handoff` | launches your configured agent with the curation prompt |
+
+Housekeeping and handoff are **opt-in**: a bare `skill-forge routine` in a crontab reports and
+nothing else. A step that was requested but could not run — a crashed drift check, a failed
+prune, an unreadable queue — is listed under **Incomplete steps** and **always exits nonzero**,
+independent of `--fail-on`: `--fail-on` grades what the audit *found*, whereas a degraded run
+means the routine did not do what was scheduled, and a cron job that exits 0 on that is blind. Pruning only ever deletes inside the quarantine dir — never a skills root — is
+age-bounded, `--dry-run`-able, and lists every path in the report. A queue entry is only closed
+when the skill it points at no longer exists; a pending entry whose skill is still installed is
+undone work, not an orphan. `routine` never installs, promotes, or rejects: no candidate enters a
+skills root without a human or agent decision, and a cron job is not that.

+
+### `promote <id>` / `reject <id>` (v0.11)
+
+Answering **hold** at the gate used to be a dead end: the sandbox sat in quarantine and no command
+could ever finish the decision. These close that loop.
+
+```bash
+skill-forge promote <id>          # re-gate the held sandbox, then promote/hold/reject
+skill-forge reject <id>           # discard it
+```
+
+Works for both artifact types: a held MCP candidate is re-gated as an MCP server and written into
+your MCP config (`--mcp-target`), with env values emptied and unpinned `npx` specs pinned, exactly
+as `add --artifact mcp` would.
+
+`promote` **re-gates** rather than promoting blind. The original run's gate result was never
+persisted, so the alternative would be a queue entry with a fabricated gate record — and a hold
+may be days old, with the ruleset and your installed set since changed. Re-scanning is static and
+cheap. Ids come from `skill-forge list`; anything that resolves outside your quarantine dir
+(traversal, absolute path, symlink) is refused.
+
+### `config` (v0.11)
+
+`businessProfile` is five fixed fields, so anything else learned about you has nowhere to live.
+Preferences are open-ended key/value facts that accumulate without a schema change:
+
+```bash
+skill-forge config set prefers-typescript "strict mode, no any"
+skill-forge config list
+skill-forge config review
+```
+
+**Agents get a different door.** `set` is for a human at a keyboard and takes effect immediately;
+`propose` only ever queues something for review:
+
+```bash
+skill-forge config propose deploys-on vercel --origin "ingest agent" --note "seen in 3 skills"
+```
+
+An agent draining the queue reads untrusted skill content, so anything it concludes about you is
+downstream of text an attacker may have written. If agents could write preferences directly, a
+malicious `SKILL.md` could talk one into persisting an instruction into your config, where every
+later run would read it back as *your stated preference* — a durable prompt-injection foothold
+with a laundering step in the middle. Routing agent writes through review means the worst case is
+a proposal you decline. `review` is interactive, or takes an explicit `--accept-all`/`--reject-all`;
+it refuses to fall through to a default in a non-interactive shell.
+
+Both doors run the same validation: kebab-case keys, a length cap, no control characters, and a
+refusal for anything credential-shaped — by key name (`api-key`, `*-token`) or by value shape
+(`sk-…`, `ghp_…`, `AKIA…`, PEM blocks, JWTs). `config.json` is plain text; secrets belong in your
+keychain. Hand-edited entries that fail those checks are dropped on load rather than rendered.
+
 ### `list` / `status`
 
 `list` shows what's currently held in quarantine (installed via `add`, answered "hold", not yet
 promoted or rejected). `status` shows the resolved configuration (skills roots, quarantine dir,
 strictness) plus a count of held entries.
 
+### `guide` (v0.11)
+
+```bash
+skill-forge guide            # what this does, where you are, what to run next
+skill-forge guide verbs      # a single topic
+```
+
+Orientation for someone — or some agent — dropping into an existing session. `--help` lists flags
+but can't tell you what to do with them, and `status` prints configuration without saying what it
+means; `guide` answers "what is my current state, and what is the next command". It reads your
+config, quarantine, and queue and names one next step, unfinished work first: nothing configured →
+`init`; entries awaiting a decide-pass verb → `ingest`; candidates still held → `list`; no audit
+ever run → `audit`.
+
+```
+Where you are:
+  config:      /Users/you/.skill-forge/config.json
+  gate targets: 3 (default: /Users/you/.agents/skills)
+  quarantined: 2
+  queue:       12 pending
+
+Suggested next step:
+  skill-forge ingest
+  12 promoted items still awaiting a decide-pass verb
+```
+
+Topics: `pipeline`, `verbs`, `queue`, `mcp`, `refine`, `maintenance`, `pro`. **Read-only and
+non-interactive** — it writes nothing and never prompts, so it's safe to run inside an agent turn,
+and with no config it says so rather than reciting default placeholder paths as if they were
+settings.
