+Install the package globally. `@sublang/cligent`, the Claude and
+Codex adapter SDKs, and `xstate` are direct dependencies, so a single
+install pulls in the reference CODE playbook and its host:
 
 ```sh
 npm install -g @sublang/playbook
 ```
 
-Each adapter reads its own auth: the Claude SDK uses your local
-Claude Code auth (or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`); the Codex SDK uses your
-local codex CLI auth (or `OPENAI_API_KEY`).
+Then launch the reference playbook in a `tmux-play` session:
+
+```sh
+playbook-code
+```
+
+For a one-shot run without a global install, use the same command
+through npx:
+
+```sh
+npx playbook-code
+```
+
+On first run, `playbook-code` creates a commented user config at
+`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/playbook/playbook-code.config.yaml`
+from the bundled template, prints that path to stderr, then checks the
+declared adapters before launching. Later runs reuse that file and do
+not overwrite it.
+
+Known adapter readiness is intentionally light: `claude` is ready when
+local Claude Code auth exists or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set; `codex` is
+ready when local Codex CLI auth exists or `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set. If a
+known adapter is not ready, `playbook-code` prints its own help text
+with the config path, auth pointers, and agent-swap recipe, then exits
+without launching. You can view the same recovery text at any time:
 
-The bundled configs run each agent in cligent's protected auto mode
+```sh
+playbook-code --help
+```
+
+The seed template runs each agent in cligent's protected auto mode
 (`permissions.mode: auto`), suppressing routine approval prompts.
 
-Then launch the reference playbook in a `tmux-play` session:
+### Configure agents
+
+Edit the seeded user config when you want different coding agents:
 
 ```sh
-playbook-code
+$EDITOR "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/playbook/playbook-code.config.yaml"
 ```
 
-The `playbook-code` bin resolves the bundled
-`tmux-play.production.config.yaml` and execs the bundled `tmux-play`
-CLI (from playbook's own `node_modules/@sublang/cligent`) against it;
-any extra flags pass through (`playbook-code --help` lists
-`tmux-play`'s).
+Both CODE players can use `claude` or `codex`; other adapter ids are
+passed through to `tmux-play` with a warning because `playbook-code`
+does not know how to preflight their auth. The safe tuning points are
+`captain.adapter`, `captain.model`, each player's `adapter`, and each
+player's `model`. Keep `captain.from` and the `players[].id` values
+fixed; the runtime binds to those host-configuration invariants per
+[PBRT-4](specs/user/playbook-runtime.md#pbrt-4) and derives the
+`<coder-llm>` / `<reviewer-llm>` substitution strings from each
+player entry's `model` when pinned and `adapter` otherwise — so the
+Committer's commit-message trailers can name the concrete model
+(e.g. `claude-opus-4-7`) rather than the adapter family (`claude`).
+
+For example, this swaps the Coder to Codex and the Reviewer to Claude:
+
+```yaml
+captain:
+  from: "@sublang/playbook/code/tmux-play"
+  adapter: claude
+  model: claude-sonnet-4-6
+  reasoningEffort: high
+  permissions:
+    mode: auto
+
+players:
+  - id: coder      # must stay `coder` — see PBRT-4
+    adapter: codex
+    model: gpt-5.5
+    reasoningEffort: xhigh
+    permissions:
+      mode: auto
+  - id: reviewer   # must stay `reviewer` — see PBRT-4
+    adapter: claude
+    model: claude-opus-4-7
+    reasoningEffort: xhigh
+    permissions:
+      mode: auto
+```
+
+Normal `playbook-code` runs use the seeded path above. If you need a
+separate config file for a one-off run, pass it explicitly; this bypasses
+the seed and readiness gate and forwards the arguments to `tmux-play`
+verbatim, as pinned in
+[PBCODE-1](specs/user/playbook-code.md#pbcode-1):
+
+```sh
+playbook-code --config ./playbook-code.config.yaml
+```
