 Commit `.done-done.yaml` and the verify skill so later runs and your teammates use the same recipe. Captures go to your judge's provider, on your plan or key.
 
+## For installers
+
+Installing done-done from another installer (a fleet bootstrap, a Juggernaut-style one-command install) takes three calls and no prompts. Pin the version:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g done-done-axi@0.6.19
+done-done init --no-skill --agent <agent> --model <model> --judge <route> --judge-model <model>
+done-done doctor --setup --json
+```
+
+- `done-done --version` prints the installed version (here `0.6.19`); check it before anything else.
+- `init --no-skill` writes `.done-done.yaml` and the global `~/.done-done/config.yaml`, and starts no agent: it skips the verify skill, so it spends nothing and asks nothing. `<route>` is `answerer:<agent>` or a bare agent name. Exit `0` when the agent is set and the config is valid, `2` when it is not.
+- `doctor --setup --json` is install health: exit `0` when git, the config, the evidence root, the agent and the judge are ok, `2` when one of them is not. The verify skill and the journey rows are warnings, so a fresh install passes.
+- Exit codes: `0` pass, `2` usage or config error ([all codes](docs/reference.md#exit-codes)).
+- Re-running `init` changes nothing: a second call writes no file, reports the config unchanged and exits `0`.
+- Real proof comes later: the user records a core journey, `done-done init --journey <name> --core -- <command>`, and it is their agent and judge that drive and check it.
+
+The verify skill is not part of an install: the first plain `done-done init` writes it from the repo's own files.

 `init --agent <agent> [--model <model>]` saves the coding agent done-done starts, and its model, into the global `~/.done-done/config.yaml` (`agent` and `agent_config.<agent>.model`), in place, keeping its comments and every other key; the result's `agent` says what was saved. Without `--agent`, when no agent is set, `init` asks in a terminal (a numbered list of agents, then of models; a wrong answer is named before the list asks again, and a typed opencode model must be one `opencode models` lists, or, when opencode is not on PATH, it is saved with a notice that it was not checked; any other agent's model, pi's included, is saved with that notice too) before it writes anything; elsewhere it writes the rest of the config, reports `agent: not set` with the line to ask the user and the save command, and exits 2. When a repo's `.done-done.yaml` sets a different agent, the result's `agent` says the saved agent is overridden by that one. An agent done-done cannot start, `--model` without `--agent`, or an opencode model that is not `provider/model` exits 2 before any write. done-done never picks an agent for you (see [Agents](#agents)). Headless `opencode run` needs `--auto` (or allows the evidence root, `~/.done-done`, in opencode's `external_directory` permission) for done-done to run.
 
+For an installer, set everything in one non-interactive call and skip the agent-written skill:
+
+```sh
+done-done init --no-skill --agent pi --model <model> --judge answerer:pi --judge-model <model>

+
+`--no-skill` writes the project config and saves the agent and judge settings exactly as `init` does above, and then writes no verify skill: no agent is started, so it costs no call, and the result says `verify_skill: skipped (--no-skill)`. It exits 0 when the agent is set and the config is valid, and 2 when no agent is set, as `init` always does. It combines with `--journey` (the journey is recorded and the skill is still skipped). Nothing in it asks a question, reads a secret or needs a terminal, so re-running it is a no-op: a second run writes no file, reports `config: unchanged` and still exits 0. The user records the verify skill later with a plain `done-done init`, and a core journey for real proof with `done-done init --journey <name> --core -- <command>`.
+
+`init --judge` also takes the route form the [check docs](#check-a-claim) use, `answerer:<agent>`, as well as the bare agent name: `--judge answerer:pi` stores the same `judge.route: answerer:pi` that `--judge pi` stores. `check --judge` already takes only the route form.

 `--probe` also asks the agent one JSON-schema question (one call at its model) and adds a `probe` item that is then required: `ok` only when the agent answers with a valid object. Codex is the exception: it cannot be asked tool-less, so its `probe` row is a `warning` that gives the reason and asks nothing (see [Agents](#agents)). The call record goes to `$DONE_DONE_HOME/agents/` (mode 0600); it keeps the agent, model, effort, extra flags, binary, schema, tools, cwd, timeout, argv, prompt size in bytes, timing, exit code, answer or error, and the last 2000 characters of stderr, never the prompt text. A failed probe row shows one clean line: the agent's last line that names an error, or else its last meaningful line, with no colour codes or stack frames and at most 200 characters. The raw stderr stays in the record.
 
+```sh
+done-done doctor --setup

+
+`--setup` is install health: the answer an installer needs after `init --no-skill`, with the same rows, detail lines and `--json` output. The required rows are `git`, `config`, `evidence_root`, `agent` and `judge`; a missing `verify_skill` and a repo with no journeys yet are `warning`s, and `real_product`, `core_journey` and `upgrade_journey` report `skipped (--setup)` rather than failing, since the user records a core journey after install for real proof. It exits 0 when every required row is ok and 2 otherwise, exactly like `doctor`, and plain `doctor` is unchanged.

 #### Agents
 
 done-done starts the coding agent you choose, and never picks one. `agent:` names exactly one (`claude`, `codex`, `opencode`, `pi`, `gemini` or `acp:<target>`); there is no auto-detection and no fallback list, so an agent that is not installed or cannot start stops the command with the reason. While no agent is set, a command that starts it asks in a terminal (a numbered list of agents, then of models) and saves the answer to the global config; anywhere else (an agent calling done-done) it exits 2 with `no agent is set: ask the user which agent to use (claude, codex, opencode, pi, gemini, acp:<target>); never pick one for them` and the command that saves the answer: `done-done init --agent <agent> --model <model>`. `doctor` reports an unset agent as missing with that same fix. The model is `agent_config.<agent>.model` (global config only), else the agent's cheap default (`claude-haiku-5-5` for claude, `opencode-go/muse-spark-1.3-contributor` for opencode, `flash-lite` for gemini; claude and opencode also default to `effort: low`). That table is the only place done-done names a default model, and `init` writes it into the global config. `agent_config.<agent>.effort` (`minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh` or `max`, or `''` for the CLI's own) goes to the CLI's own flag as written: `--effort` (claude), `-c model_reasoning_effort="<level>"` (codex), `--variant` (opencode) and `--thinking` (pi); gemini and `acp:<target>` have none, so an effort for them is a config error. `agent_args_override.<agent>` adds extra CLI flags after done-done's own (do not repeat a flag done-done passes), `agent_path_override.<agent>` starts that binary instead of the one on PATH, `acpx_path` names the acpx bridge, and `agent_timeout` (default `30m`) bounds each agent call: a verify drive, a maintain reader, the judge and the doctor probe. A streaming agent (pi, opencode, codex, `acp:<target>`) that prints nothing, on stdout or stderr, for 5 minutes is stopped early (30 seconds for the doctor probe); the no-answer reason then quotes its stderr and the call record path, so a hung agent costs minutes, not the whole timeout. A rate limit the CLI prints (HTTP 429, a usage limit) ends any agent call at that line, with the limit and its reset time as the reason (for pi's JSON events, the provider's own message, not the event); the one exception is a claude judge call with images, which stops only at claude's own rejected rate-limit event, so its retries run. claude and gemini print one answer at the end, so only `agent_timeout` bounds them. These defaults are the cost guard for those agents: done-done never defaults to a flagship model for them. codex, pi and `acp:<target>` have no public cheap alias, so with no `agent_config.<agent>.model` (for `acp:<target>`, `agent_config.acp:<target>.model`) they run their own configured model, which can be a flagship; that setting caps their cost. `agent: acp:<target>` (for example `acp:gemini`) starts any Agent Client Protocol agent through [acpx](https://github.com/openclaw/acpx), which you install yourself (`npm install -g acpx`). doctor reports an `acp:` agent missing, with that install step, when acpx is not on PATH or does not start.

+### Evals
+
+An app whose product is a model's output needs more than a proven journey: it needs the output to be good. `evals` is an opt-in block in `.done-done.yaml` that adds an output-quality gate; a repo without it is unchanged.
+
+```yaml
+evals:
+  enabled: true
+  prompts: evals/prompts.jsonl      # {"id": "...", "input": "..."} per line
+  rubric: evals/rubric.md           # lines "- name: what a good answer does"
+  app: { command: "node app.mjs" }  # prompt on stdin, answer on stdout
+  baseline: { model: claude-haiku-5-5 }   # or { command: "..." }: a plain model, no app prompt
+  bar: { min_win_rate: 0.7, min_score: 0.75 }
+```
+
+`init` detects an AI app from tracked files: a provider SDK in a manifest or an import (anthropic, openai, google genai or generative-ai, ollama, langchain, litellm, groq, mistral, cohere), a committed prompt or system-prompt file, or prompt-building code (tests, docs, examples, fixtures and vendored code are skipped). It reports the guess in its `evals` field. A detected app gets `enabled: true`, and the agent proposes 12 prompts from the repo's routes, commands, tests and README, a rubric of 2 to 8 criteria and an `evals/README.md`; init writes the three files and the block (all or nothing, cited files must be tracked). The baseline model is the judge's model. `init --evals` forces it on, `init --no-evals` records `enabled: false`, and `--no-skill` makes no agent call, so it leaves evals off and says so. A non-AI repo gets no block. An enabled block must name `prompts`, `rubric`, `app.command` and one baseline (`model` or `command`) and the files must exist, else the config is an error (exit 2) naming the key. The prompt set and rubric are committed and yours to edit.
+
+```sh
+done-done eval [--limit <n>]
+```
+
+`eval` runs every prompt: the app command gets the prompt on stdin (with `DONE_DONE_EVIDENCE_ROOT` and `DONE_DONE_RUN_ID` set); the baseline answers the same prompt through the judge route with a plain instruction; one judge call sees both answers blind (the app is A on even prompts, B on odd) with the rubric and returns per-criterion scores, a winner and a reason. It seals a run holding `results.jsonl` (id, input, app and baseline output, scores, winner, reason) and a one-page `report.md` (bar, totals, win rate, mean score per criterion, failing prompts with reasons, commit, judge route and model, exact model-call count). A tie or a crashed app counts as a lost prompt. It passes when the win rate and mean score meet `evals.bar` (defaults 0.7 and 0.75): exit 0 pass, 1 fail, 2 usage, config or judge error. It runs on a subscription judge route (`claude-code` or `answerer:<agent>`) and refuses a key route; no key is read and it never runs in CI. `--limit` is for a quick local loop: the report says it is partial and a partial run never satisfies the gate.
+
+On a repo with `evals.enabled: true`, `check` and `receipt` refuse unless the newest full eval run at HEAD, on a clean tree, passed, and name `done-done eval` as the next command. A receipt records `evals: pass <run id>`, `receipt --verify` re-checks the run, and `gate` (model-free) fails a receipt without that line when the committed config enables evals.
