 200+ agents, 109+ CLI commands, 400+ deployable agent/skill/command/rule artifacts, 8 core frameworks, 27 addons, and a training marketplace package. SDLC workflows, digital forensics, research management, marketing operations, media curation, ops infrastructure, knowledge base, and fine-tuning dataset curation — all deployable with one command.
 
+The simplest setup is to paste this into a supported AI provider:
+
+```text
+Install or repair AIWG for this project by following
+https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmagly/aiwg/main/setup.aiwg.yaml
+Explain the plan before changing anything, preserve my existing work, and ask
+me only for choices you cannot safely determine.
+```
+
+The installer detects old, broken, duplicate, and development-mode installs,
+then guides you through repair or update. It deploys the preferred complete
+system with `aiwg use all`, builds the indices, regenerates the project context,
+and verifies engagement. Most providers can continue in the same session. It
+asks you to restart only when the provider is demonstrably caching old startup
+instructions.
+
+If you prefer to install manually:
+
 ```bash
-npm i -g aiwg        # full CLI and local resource corpus
-aiwg use sdlc        # deploy SDLC framework
+npm i -g aiwg
+cd /path/to/your/project
+aiwg use all --provider <provider>
+aiwg index build --all
+aiwg regenerate --provider <provider>
+aiwg status --probe --json
 ```
 
+Replace `<provider>` with your AI tool's name, such as `claude`, `codex`,
+`copilot`, or `cursor`.

At its core, `aiwg use` copies markdown and YAML source files into the specific paths each AI platform looks in — `.claude/agents/`, `~/.codex/skills/`, `.cursor/rules/`, `.github/prompts/`, and six more — so one source of truth works across 10 platforms.

 Around that core, AIWG ships agent-facing utilities for things the base platforms do not handle on their own: persistent artifact memory (`.aiwg/`), background orchestration, autonomous loops, artifact indexing, cost telemetry, health diagnostics, and more. These are tools the agent calls when you ask for something AIWG-shaped — you stay in chat. Most are opt-in. The deployment layer works standalone as plain text files the platform reads natively.

 The trade-off is real: when the same agent set loads into every session, context from one project can bleed into reasoning about another.

+# Line Memory
+
+Line Memory is a small optional AIWG memory addon: one human-readable file,
+one retained memory per nonblank line, a configurable retention limit, and
+least-recently-used behavior implemented by moving referenced lines to the end.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+aiwg use line-memory
+```
+
+Deployment registers the `aiwg line-memory` CLI namespace. The memory file is
+not added to provider startup context.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+aiwg line-memory add "Project uses Gitea as the canonical tracker."
+aiwg line-memory list --limit 20
+aiwg line-memory search "canonical tracker" --limit 5
+aiwg line-memory touch "Project uses Gitea as the canonical tracker."
+aiwg line-memory prune
+aiwg line-memory config get maxLines
+aiwg line-memory config set maxLines 100
+```
+
+`list` and `search` return bounded slices and refresh the recency of returned
+entries. Use `--no-touch` for read-only inspection.
+
+## Storage
+
+Defaults:
+
+```json
+{
+  "path": ".aiwg/memory/line-memory.txt",
+  "maxLines": 200,
+  "dedupe": true,
+  "trimBlankLines": true
+}
+```
+
+Configuration lives at `.aiwg/memory/line-memory.config.json`. Invalid or
+missing configuration recovers to safe defaults; `config set` repairs a
+corrupt configuration file.
+
+Do not store secrets, credentials, tokens, private keys, or sensitive personal
+data. Line memory is ordinary project data, not a secret store.
+
+See [the operator guide](docs/overview.md) for retention details, deployment
+options, and guidance on choosing line memory versus wiki or semantic memory.
