 # el Gentleman
 
-`gentle-pi` is an opinionated Pi package for controlled autonomy: explicit el Gentleman identity, SDD/OpenSpec workflow, strict TDD guidance, subagent-ready phase assets, review workload discipline, and a senior-architect persona.
+`gentle-pi` installs **el Gentleman** into Pi: a controlled-development harness with a senior architect persona, SDD/OpenSpec phase discipline, strict TDD evidence, subagent orchestration, and review-workload protection.
 
-It does not include persistent memory. Install a separate memory package, such as a future Engram package, when you want long-term recall.
+Install it when you want Pi to stop behaving like a generic chatbot and start acting like a disciplined development harness.
 
-## Install
+## Quick start
 
 ```bash
 pi install npm:gentle-pi
 ```
 
-For local development from this repo:
+Recommended companion packages:
 
 ```bash
-pi install ./pi-packages/gentle-ai
+pi install npm:pi-subagents
+pi install npm:pi-intercom
+```
+
+Then start Pi in your project:
+
+```bash
+pi
+```
+
+On session start, `gentle-pi` automatically installs SDD assets into the project without overwriting local edits.
+
+## What you get
+
+| Capability | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| el Gentleman identity | Answers as a Pi-specific harness, not a generic assistant. Defaults to the `gentleman` persona and can switch to `neutral`. |
+| SDD/OpenSpec routing | Small work stays inline, context-heavy work delegates, large/risky work uses SDD artifacts. |
+| SDD phase agents | Installs `sdd-init`, `sdd-explore`, `sdd-proposal`, `sdd-spec`, `sdd-design`, `sdd-tasks`, `sdd-apply`, `sdd-verify`, and `sdd-archive`. |
+| Strict TDD support | Preserves RED → GREEN → TRIANGULATE → REFACTOR evidence and verify-time compliance checks. |
+| Review workload guard | Forecasts large diffs and recommends chained PRs or explicit `size:exception`. |
+| Model assignment UI | Opens a modal to assign Pi models to project, user, and built-in agents, with SDD agents shown first. |
+| Foundation skills | Adds PR, issue, chained-PR, comment, docs, work-unit, and Judgment Day skills. |
+| Safety policy | Blocks destructive shell actions unless there is explicit user approval. |
+
+## Core commands
+
+```text
+/gentle-ai:status          Show package, SDD asset, OpenSpec, and model config status.
+/gentleman:models          Open the per-agent model assignment modal.
+/gentle-ai:models          Compatibility alias that points to /gentleman:models.
+/gentleman:persona         Switch between gentleman and neutral personas.
+/gentle-ai:persona         Compatibility alias that points to /gentleman:persona.
+/sdd-init                  Bootstrap or refresh openspec/config.yaml.
+/gentle-ai:install-sdd     Reinstall SDD assets without overwriting local files.
+/gentle-ai:install-sdd --force
+                           Force-refresh installed SDD assets.
+```
+
+## Switch persona
+
+Default persona: `gentleman`.
+
+Run:
+
+```text
+/gentleman:persona
+```
+
+Available modes:
+
+| Persona | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `gentleman` | Teaching-oriented senior architect persona with Rioplatense Spanish/voseo when the user writes Spanish. |
+| `neutral` | Same senior architect discipline and teaching philosophy, but with warm professional language and no regional expressions. |
+
+Saved config:
+
+```text
+.pi/gentle-ai/persona.json
+```
+
+Run `/reload` or start a new Pi session after switching if the current session already injected the previous persona.
+
+## Assign models to agents
+
+Run:
+
+```text
+/gentleman:models
+```
+
+This opens a modal similar to Gentle-AI's model picker. It discovers Pi subagents from project, user, and built-in sources, with SDD agents sorted first:
+
+```text
+Assign Models to Agents
+
+Current assignments:
+
+▸ Set all agents       mixed
+  sdd-init             inherit
+  sdd-explore          openai-codex/gpt-5.5
+  sdd-proposal         openai-codex/gpt-5.5
+  sdd-spec             anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+  sdd-design           anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+  sdd-tasks            anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+  sdd-apply            anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+  sdd-verify           google/gemini-3-pro
+  sdd-archive          inherit
+  delegate             inherit
+  my-custom-agent      anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+
+Continue
+← Back
+
+j/k: navigate • enter: change model / confirm • i: inherit • c: custom • ctrl+s: save • esc: back
 ```
 
-## What it loads
+Model choices come from Pi itself via the active model registry. The modal also supports custom model IDs for advanced setups.
+
+The modal covers:
+
+- project agents from `.pi/agents/` and `.agents/`;
+- user agents from `~/.pi/agent/agents/` and `~/.agents/`;
+- built-in `pi-subagents` agents.
 
-- `extensions/gentle-ai.ts` — injects the parent-session Gentle AI orchestrator, auto-installs SDD assets non-destructively, registers `/gentle-ai:*` commands, and blocks high-risk shell commands.
-- `extensions/sdd-init.ts` — registers `/sdd-init` to bootstrap `openspec/config.yaml`.
-- `extensions/skill-registry.ts` — registers `/skill-registry:refresh` and maintains `.atl/skill-registry.md` from compact skill rules.
-- `skills/gentle-ai` — compact rules for Gentle AI orchestration.
-- `skills/branch-pr`, `skills/chained-pr`, `skills/work-unit-commits`, `skills/judgment-day`, `skills/cognitive-doc-design`, `skills/comment-writer`, and `skills/issue-creation` — foundation skills ported from Gentle-AI.
-- `prompts/` — reusable prompt templates with Gentle-prefixed names (`/gcl`, `/gis`, `/gpr`, `/gwr`) to avoid collisions with project prompts.
-- `assets/orchestrator.md` — parent-session SDD orchestration contract adapted from Gentle-AI.
-- `assets/support` — strict TDD apply/verify support files copied to `.pi/gentle-ai/support/`.
-- `assets/agents` and `assets/chains` — SDD assets auto-installed into projects that use `pi-subagents`.
+Small recommendation in English:
 
-## First run
+| Agent kind | Recommended model shape |
+|---|---|
+| Exploration, proposal, archive | Fast and cheap is usually enough. |
+| Spec, design, tasks | Strong reasoning model, because these phases shape the implementation. |
+| Apply | Strong coding model with good tool-use reliability. |
+| Verify / review agents | Strongest fresh-context model you can afford; verification benefits from independence. |
+| Tiny utility agents | Inherit the active/default model unless they become a bottleneck. |
+
+Saved config:
+
+```text
+.pi/gentle-ai/models.json
+```
 
-After installing, open Pi and start working. The package auto-installs SDD subagent assets into the current project when the session starts, without overwriting existing files.
+Applied configuration:
+
+```text
+.pi/agents/*.md                 # project/user markdown agents
+.pi/settings.json               # project overrides for built-in pi-subagents agents
+```
+
+Use `Inherit active/default model` to remove an agent override.
+
+## Installed project files
+
+`gentle-pi` installs these project-local assets on session start:
+
+```text
+.pi/agents/sdd-*.md
+.pi/chains/sdd-*.chain.md
+.pi/gentle-ai/support/strict-tdd.md
+.pi/gentle-ai/support/strict-tdd-verify.md
+```
 
-Useful diagnostics/recovery commands:
+Existing files are skipped. Your local edits remain unless you explicitly run:
 
 ```text
-/gentle-ai:status
-/sdd-init
 /gentle-ai:install-sdd --force
 ```
 
-`/gentle-ai:install-sdd` is a recovery command. The normal path is automatic. It copies SDD agents to `.pi/agents/` and chains to `.pi/chains/`; existing files are skipped unless `--force` is passed.
+## Package contents

-## Optional companion packages
+## Memory is separate
 
-Recommended with this package:
+This package intentionally does **not** configure persistent memory.
+
+Use a separate memory package, for example:
 
 ```bash
-pi install npm:pi-subagents
-pi install npm:pi-intercom
+pi install npm:gentle-engram
 ```
 
-- `pi-subagents` runs the installed SDD agents and chains.
-- `pi-intercom` lets child agents ask the parent for decisions while running.
+el Gentleman may mention memory only when a memory package or callable memory tool is actually active.
+
+## Local development
 
-Persistent memory should remain separate; this package intentionally does not configure Engram or any other memory backend.
+From this repo:
+
+```bash
+pi install ./pi-packages/gentle-ai
+```
+
+Validate before publishing:
+
+```bash
+node --experimental-strip-types --check pi-packages/gentle-ai/extensions/gentle-ai.ts
+cd pi-packages/gentle-ai
+npm pack --dry-run
+```
 
 ## Design principles
 
 - Concepts before code.
-- Artifacts over floating context.
-- Strict TDD when tests exist, including evidence in apply and compliance checks in verify.
-- One orchestrator, focused subagents.
+- Artifacts over floating chat context.
+- Strict TDD evidence when tests exist.
+- One parent orchestrator, focused subagents.
 - Review workload is a first-class constraint.
-- Safety policy blocks destructive actions unless the user explicitly approves a safer path.
+- Human control beats agent momentum.
