 tool call cannot redirect writes outside the selected repository.

-The companion skill remains important: MCP supplies controlled, structured

+MCP changes only the execution surface. It does not add policy beyond the
+repository's `AGENTS.md`, and the companion skill remains limited to discovery
+and recovery guidance.
+
+## Optional: keep the agent reminded through hooks
+
+Agents that support lifecycle hooks can inject a short DriftSeal reminder before
+the agent starts answering (`UserPromptSubmit`) and surface a warning when it
+finishes (`Stop`). The reminders are advisory — they ask whether the round needs
+an intent and whether an open intent still needs verification and
+`driftseal end`; they never force another model turn, and they stay silent in
+repositories without an intent log.
+
+Install them with:
+
+```sh
+cd /path/to/repository
+driftseal hook install --target kimi-code --scope global
+driftseal hook install --target claude-code
+driftseal hook install --target codex
+```
+
+| Target | Project config | Global config |

+| `kimi-code` | Not supported | `~/.kimi-code/config.toml` or `$KIMI_CODE_HOME/config.toml` |
+| `claude-code` | `.claude/settings.json` | `~/.claude/settings.json` |
+| `codex` | `.codex/hooks.json` | `~/.codex/hooks.json` |
+
+Like `mcp install`, the hook installer accepts `--scope global`,
+`--root <repository>`, and `--force`, is idempotent, and preserves unrelated
+config entries. Kimi Code documents hooks only in its global `config.toml`, so
+its target requires `--scope global`. Claude Code receives prompt context through
+`hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext`; its `Stop` reminder uses a UI-only
+`systemMessage`, avoiding a continuation loop. Codex installs only the prompt
+hook because its `Stop` event has no advisory context channel. Hook commands
+search the current directory and its ancestors for an intent log. OpenCode and
+Cursor have no supported hook surface for this yet.

 name: use-driftseal
-description: Run repository work through the DriftSeal (`driftseal`) intent, verification, and selective decision workflow. Use when the user asks to use DriftSeal, invokes the skill by name, or works in a repository whose instructions require `driftseal`; also use to resume a DriftSeal-managed task after context loss, reconcile scope changes, close work honestly, or preserve decision context that Git and the intent log cannot recover.
+description: Follow DriftSeal-managed repository work when AGENTS.md requires `driftseal`, the user invokes DriftSeal, or an interrupted intent must be resumed. Use this skill to locate the authoritative repository policy, re-anchor state after context loss, and choose the execution surface; prefer the `driftseal` CLI, using MCP only when the repository or user explicitly selects it.

 # Use DriftSeal
 
-This skill is the usage guide for DriftSeal: how to find it and which command
-or tool to reach for. The binding protocol — when an intent is required, how
-to close one honestly, when a decision record is warranted, how reclamation
-works — lives in the target repository's `AGENTS.md` (injected by
-`driftseal init`). Follow that file; do not substitute this guide or memory
-for it.
+Treat the target repository's applicable `AGENTS.md` as the source of truth.
+This skill helps locate and resume that workflow; it does not restate or extend
+the policy.
 
 ## Locate DriftSeal
 
-- Prefer the `driftseal_*` MCP tools when the DriftSeal MCP server is available
-  for the target repository: `driftseal_status`, `driftseal_begin`,
-  `driftseal_end`, `driftseal_log`, `driftseal_reclaim`, `driftseal_unreclaim`,
-  and the `driftseal_decision_*` tools. Their input schemas come from the MCP
-  client, not from `driftseal help`. The server keeps state in its fixed
-  repository root and ignores storage-override environment variables.
-- Otherwise prefer `driftseal` from `PATH`, where `DRIFTSEAL_HOME` and
-  `DRIFTSEAL_DECISION_HOME` overrides apply. In a DriftSeal source checkout,
-  fall back to `node bin/driftseal.js`.
+- Read the applicable `AGENTS.md` before making changes.
+- Prefer `driftseal` from `PATH`. In a DriftSeal source checkout, fall back to
+  `node bin/driftseal.js`.
+- Use an explicitly configured, repository-pinned MCP server only when the user
+  or repository selects it, or when shell execution is unavailable. Its tool
+  schemas, not `driftseal help`, define the MCP interface.
 - Use one interface consistently within a round.
 - If DriftSeal is unavailable, limit activity to read-only discovery and report
   the blocker. Do not mutate the repository without the required log.
 
-## Command Map
+## Re-anchor When Needed
 
-Re-anchor after context loss or uncertainty; when `status` reports an open
-intent, the repository protocol defines whether to resume or replace it:
+After context loss or when intent state is uncertain, run:
 
 ```sh
 driftseal status
-driftseal log --last 3        # add --all to include reclaimed records
+driftseal log --last 3
 ```
 
-Run each work round as the repository's protocol directs (`-v`, `-s`, `-n`,
-and `-r` are the short forms of `--verify`, `--status`, `--note`, and
-`--verify-result`):
+Then resume, replace, verify, or close the intent exactly as `AGENTS.md`
+requires. For command syntax, run:
 
 ```sh
-driftseal begin "<objective>" --verify "<proof>" [--decision <id>]
-# ... do only what the intent covers ...
-driftseal end --status <status> --note "<what happened>" --verify-result "<proof output>"
+driftseal help
 ```
 
-Record and reconcile decisions as the repository's decision protocol directs:
-
-```sh
-driftseal decision add "<title>" --context "..." --outcome "..."
-driftseal decision update <id> [--status <status>] --note "<what changed or was confirmed>"
-driftseal decision list --status deferred
-```
-
-Retire meaningless closed records as the repository's protocol directs:
-
-```sh
-driftseal reclaim [id ...] --reason "<why>" [--dry-run]
-driftseal unreclaim <id> --reason "<why>"
-```
-
-For exact flags, eligibility rules, and recovery behavior, run
-`driftseal help` and read the repository's `AGENTS.md`.
+Do not treat this skill, MCP descriptions, or lifecycle-hook reminders as
+additional policy. If they conflict with `AGENTS.md`, follow `AGENTS.md`.
