+## 🐚 Shell Setup
+
+`forged init` sets up the Forged zsh environment from my [dotfiles](https://github.com/bkness/dotfiles): the prompt, the Ctrl+P command palette, the Ctrl+G GitHub dashboard (issue → branch → commit → PR, project boards), code finder, abbreviations, and a hook that scans dependencies when you `cd` into a project.
+
+It's written for people new to the terminal. It shows the whole plan first, explains each step, and asks before doing it:
+
+1. **Homebrew on your PATH.** If Homebrew is installed but `brew` isn't found (the installer's last step is easy to miss), adds its `shellenv` line to `~/.zprofile`
+2. **Command-line tools.** Installs whichever of `git gh fzf eza bat fd zoxide starship` are missing, with Homebrew
+3. **zinit**, the plugin manager, cloned to `~/.local/share/zinit`
+4. **The dotfiles**, cloned to `~/dev/dotfiles`
+5. **One line in `~/.zshrc`** that loads them. The file is backed up first, and nothing already in it is changed
+
+Steps that are already done are skipped, so it's safe to run again after fixing an error.
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|--------------|
+| `forged init` | Guided setup |
+| `forged init --dry-run` | Show the plan, change nothing |
+| `forged init --yes` | Accept every step without asking |
+
+Needs macOS or Linux. Without Homebrew (on Linux, say), init lists the missing tools for you to install yourself and does the rest.

+
+### `--review`: a second opinion
+
+Publisher changes that auto-verify can't clear go to [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) (`claude -p`) along with what the release actually changed: dependencies added or removed, new install scripts, release history, and which verification signals passed.

+REVIEW — advisory, from claude -p (doesn't change the results above):

+       → Confirm the 9.0.3 tarball matches a tagged commit in auth0/node-jsonwebtoken.
+```
+
+- **Advisory only.** The verdict never changes what's flagged or the exit code.
+- **No tools.** Everything sent comes from the public registry and may be attacker-written, so `claude` runs with tools, MCP servers and slash commands disabled — an injected instruction has nothing to act with. The prompt marks the data untrusted, and control characters are stripped from the reply before it reaches your terminal.
+- **Only what's unresolved** is sent, and only the publisher's email domain, never the address. Needs the `claude` CLI; without it, `--review` says so and the scan runs as normal.
 
 **Scan on `cd`:** `--changed --quiet` is cheap enough to run every time you enter a project (≈50ms when unchanged). A zsh example:
