-
-From [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/amont):
-
-```sh
-cargo install amont

-

-brew trust fredericrous/tap    # Homebrew asks this of every third-party tap

-**In a JavaScript project**, the binary can travel with the repository rather
-than with the machine, so a teammate who clones it needs no install step at all:
-
-```sh
-npm i -D amont                            # or: pnpm add -D amont
-npm pkg set scripts.prepare="amont init"
-npm install                               # the hooks appear
-```
-
-Six prebuilt platform packages are declared as `optionalDependencies`, so npm
-installs exactly one and runs no install scripts at all — this survives
-`npm ci --ignore-scripts`. `amont init` wires up that one repository and
-nothing else: no `~/.local/bin`, no template directory, no prompts.
-
-If the project also installs **without** its dev dependencies anywhere — `npm ci
---omit=dev`, the usual second stage of a Dockerfile — write
-`"prepare": "amont init || true"` there, since `prepare` still runs and `amont`
-will not be installed. [The details](docs/install.md#if-anything-ever-installs-without-your-dev-dependencies).

-## Uninstall
-
-```sh
-amont uninstall              # this repository
-amont uninstall --binary     # …and remove ~/.local/bin/amont too
-```
-
-Uninstall is listed second on purpose. These hooks can block a commit, so the
-honest question to answer first is how you get out — and the answer is that
-`uninstall` removes our five shims and **nothing else**. A hook you wrote
-yourself is left where it is and named in the output, whatever it is; a hook it
-cannot even read is named too rather than passed over in silence. Your
-`hook.skip` and `amont.severity` settings are never touched, because those
-are your statements about your repository.
-
-This is also why the README does not tell you to run
-`rm $(git rev-parse --git-dir)/hooks/*`. That glob deletes every hook in the
-directory — including ones other tools installed and ones you wrote — to remove
-five files that belong to us.
-

+read. **Trust deliberately** rather than letting installation be the moment
+you decided. The full reasoning, and rolling this out to a team:
+[team rollout](docs/team-rollout.md).
 
 ## Trust: a repository you clone cannot run its own checks
 
 `amont.conf` is committed — that is the point, a team shares a check by
-committing it. The consequence is that cloning a repository and committing to
-it would otherwise run commands that repository chose, and neither of those
-acts is one anybody performs *as a decision about trust*.
-
-So a cloned repository's declared checks are **inert until you say otherwise**:
+committing a line rather than by everybody installing something. So a
+repository you cloned can _declare_ checks, and running them is a decision you
+make, not one `git clone` makes for you.
 
 ```sh
-amont trust          # show what this repo declares, and accept it
-amont trust --show   # what is trusted here
+amont trust          # show what it declares, then record it
+amont trust --show   # what it declares, and whether it is trusted
 amont trust --revoke
 ```
 
-The record is keyed on the file's **content**, not its path, so a `git pull`
-that adds a command does not inherit the consent given to the file before it.
-The fingerprint is `git hash-object --no-filters`, and the `--no-filters` is
-not decoration: plain `hash-object` applies the clean filter and eol conversion
-that the repository's own committed `.gitattributes` asks for, which would let
-a repository choose the transform its own consent is taken through.
-
-Full reasoning: [the trust model](docs/trust.md).
+Until then the declarations are **reported, not dropped** — you can see there
+is a decision waiting. Acceptance is recorded against the file's _content_, so
+a `git pull` that adds a command does not inherit the trust you gave the file
+before it. [The trust model](docs/trust.md).
 
-## Turning a check off, or down
+## Custom checks, and packs
 
-Every check has an id, `<trigger>-<name>` — `pre-commit-clippy`. Three things
-name it, and both config surfaces read all three the same way:
+A repository declares checks of its own in a committed `amont.conf` — five
+whitespace-separated fields, no shell:
 
-```sh
-git config --add hook.skip pre-commit-clippy   # that one check
-git config --add hook.skip clippy              # that check, on either trigger
-git config --add hook.skip pre-commit          # every pre-commit check
 ```
-
-`amont.severity.<key>` takes the same three, and keeps the signal — the
-check still runs and still reports, it just stops failing the commit:
-
-```sh
-git config amont.severity.clippy warn
-git config amont.severity.pre-commit warn
+# stage       name        scope                severity  command
+pre-commit    lint-shell  *.sh                 block     scripts/lint-shell.sh
+pre-commit    rubocop     *.rb+.rubocop.yml    block     rubocop
+pre-push      smoke       *                    warn      make smoke
 ```
 
-Where several keys reach one check the most specific wins: full id, then short
-name, then trigger. Nothing matches by substring — `hook.skip e` reaches
-nothing at all, and skipping `lint-js` leaves `lint-json-yaml` alone.
+They run alongside the built-ins, obey the same `hook.skip` and
+`amont.severity` controls, and are inert until trusted.
 
-A skipped check is announced on every commit, so a config line nobody remembers
-writing cannot go on silently disabling things. More in
-[opting out](docs/opting-out.md) and [configuration](docs/configuration.md).
+The `+` in the scope column splits _what the change touches_ from _what the
+repository carries_: `*.rb+.rubocop.yml` reads "a staged `.rb`, **and** this
+repository has a `.rubocop.yml`". That is what lets a check be safe to hand to
+somebody else.
 
-## Making the commit convention yours
+### Shipping one — packs
 
-`commit-msg` is the one hook `hook.skip` and `amont.severity` cannot reach, so its
-opinions are adjustable in themselves:
+A **pack** is any git repository with an `amont.pack` at its root, written in
+that same syntax. `amont add` vendors its rows into your `amont.conf`:
 
 ```sh
-amont setup     # four questions, current values as the defaults
+amont add github:fredericrous/amont-pack-java@v1
 ```
 
-It asks where the type's gitmoji goes — `none` (the default: your subject,
-untouched), `prefix`, `suffix` or `replace` — and for the subject limit, the
-description budget and the body wrap column. Then it prints the exact
-`git config` lines it wrote, so you can paste them into your dotfiles or hand
-them to a teammate.
+What ships is **text, not execution**. The rows land between markers with the
+pack's commit id beside them, the manifest's fingerprint changes, and every
+declared check is inert until you `amont trust` it. Adding a pack is never the
+moment anything becomes runnable.
 
-```sh
-git config amont.commit.gitmoji suffix        # feat: add a cart ✨
-git config amont.commit.descriptionMax 68     # still fits a 72-col subject
-git config amont.commit.bodyWrap 0            # leave my stack traces alone
-```
-
-The limits measure what you wrote, so a gitmoji never eats your budget, and
-re-running over an amended message changes nothing. Full reference:
-[commit conventions](docs/commit-convention.md#if-the-defaults-do-not-fit).
+Want to write one? [`fredericrous/amont-pack-java`](https://github.com/fredericrous/amont-pack-java)
+is a complete worked example — two rows, one for Maven and one for Gradle, so
+half of it is visibly inert wherever you install it. Its README is the
+long-form authoring guide: gating your rows, what a pack may not carry, and
+how to publish and tag one.
 
-## Custom checks
+Full reference for both: [custom checks](docs/custom-checks.md).
 
-A repository can declare checks of its own in a committed `amont.conf`:
+## Day to day
 
-```
-# stage       name        scope   severity  command
-pre-commit    shellcheck  *.sh    block     scripts/lint-shell.sh
-pre-push      smoke       *       warn      make smoke
+```sh
+amont run                      # would my commit pass? (the staged set)
+amont run --all-files          # does my working tree pass? (git ls-files)
+amont check src/main.rs        # what is wrong with these FILES — no index, no
+                               # staging; `file:line: message` an editor can parse
+amont list                     # what would run here, and why not
+amont restore                  # bring back unstaged work a killed hook parked
 ```
 
-They run alongside the built-ins, obey the same `hook.skip` and
-`amont.severity` controls, and are inert until trusted. Full reference:

+committed and may never be — which is what you want when adopting a check into
+an existing repository, where `git add .` is not an acceptable way to measure

-## Running the checks yourself
+Turning one off, or down:
 
 ```sh
-amont run                    # would my commit pass? (the staged set)
-amont run --all-files        # does my working tree pass? (git ls-files)

-amont list                   # what would run here, and why not
+git config amont.severity.clippy warn   # runs, reports, does not block
+git config hook.skip clippy             # does not run at all
 ```
 
-The two questions are different on purpose. `--all-files` on a dirty tree
-reports on content that is not committed and may never be — which is what you
-want when adopting a check into an existing repository, where `git add .` is

-## What a push actually tests
+**What a push actually tests.** By default `pre-push` runs your suite against

+checkout of the commits being pushed instead.
 
-By default `pre-push` runs your suite against the **working tree**, and says

-an uncommitted fix makes a broken commit look green.
+**For coding agents.** `amont list --json` is the same answer as `amont list`,
+machine-readable: declared and effective severity, whether each check fires
+here and why not, and the command if it is a declared external. `--stage`
+filters to one trigger, `--pushed` scopes to what your next push would carry.
+`amont agents-md` writes the guidance block into `AGENTS.md`.
+[Where the hooks fit in your flow](docs/coding-flow.md).
 
-```sh
-git config amont.testPushedTree true
-```
-
-turns on the accurate answer — the suite runs in a throwaway checkout of the
-commits being pushed, and your tree is not touched. It costs a second checkout
-and a build that cannot reuse your `target/` cache, which is why it is opt-in.
+## One view across every repo

+`amont-fleet` — installed separately, on purpose — answers the questions a
+directory full of repositories accumulates: which repos are covered, which
+shims went stale after an upgrade, and which repository is quietly carrying a

-`amont list --json` is the same answer as `amont list`, machine-readable:
-every check's declared and effective severity, whether it fires here and why
-not, and its command if it is a declared external. `--stage` filters to one
-trigger; `--pushed` scopes to what your *next push* would carry (`@{u}..HEAD`)
-rather than the whole tracked tree.

-amont agents-md --check  # exit non-zero if it has drifted

 ```
 
-`agents-md` only ever touches a `<!-- amont:start -->` / `<!-- amont:end -->`
-span, so the rest of the file stays yours.
-
-The block it writes also warns the agent that `git commit` and `git push`
-run their checks first — pre-commit can mean clippy building a workspace,
-pre-push a whole test suite — and an agent whose shell tool defaults to a
-two-minute timeout will kill the command mid-check and read its own
-impatience as a failure. Ten minutes is the safe floor, for both.

-## Windows
-
-Everything works, and the PowerShell one-liner in [Install](#install) is all
-the setup most machines need. One difference: there is no symlink. To build
-from source instead — Git for Windows ships `bash` and coreutils but not
-`make`:
-
-```sh
-cargo build --release
-./target/release/amont install
-```
-
-On macOS/Linux `~/.config/git/git-templates` is usually a symlink to the
-checkout, so `init.templateDir` can point at a stable XDG path. Windows does
-not create symlinks without Developer Mode or elevation, so point git straight
-at the checkout instead:
-
-```sh
-git config --global init.templateDir 'C:/path/to/amont/templates'
-```
-
-Nothing else changes. The shims never need the symlink: they resolve the binary
-at runtime, trying `$GIT_HOOKS_BIN`, the baked path, `~/.local/bin/amont`
-and `~/.local/bin/amont.exe`, then `PATH`.

+## The repositories around it
+
+Three companions, each its own repository because it runs somewhere amont

+
+- [**amont-agent**](https://github.com/fredericrous/amont-agent) — a Claude
+  Code `PreToolUse` hook for the mistake no git hook can reach, because it
+  lives in the command string itself: `git push … | tail -5` reports tail's
+  exit status, so a rejected push reads as success. The guard judges the
+  pipeline before it runs. Independent by design — no shared code, and
+  neither needs the other; they meet in one optional place, where its
+  session notice asks `amont agents-md --check` whether the guidance block
+  an agent is about to believe has gone stale.
+- [**attest**](https://github.com/fredericrous/attest) — the CI half of
+  `amont.attest`: when every pre-push block gate passed locally, amont
+  leaves a **signed** note on the tree it tested, and this single-purpose
+  verifier lets CI skip work provably already done. Fail-open by
+  construction, and separate precisely so that amont itself never runs in
+  CI — [the reasoning](docs/ci.md).
+- [**amont-pack-java**](https://github.com/fredericrous/amont-pack-java) —
+  the worked example of [a pack](#shipping-one--packs): how checks amont
+  deliberately does not build in get shipped anyway.
