-## Installation
-
-Install globally via npm, then `cd` into your project and run the init command:
-
-```bash
-npm install -g mancode
-cd your-project
-mancode init
-```
-
-`init` guides you through the agent choice and marks a detected agent as a hint;
-it never silently installs every adapter. Choose one or more adapters, or choose
-**All platforms**. In a brand-new empty folder it asks whether to initialize a
-generic project, so users do not need to know `git init` or `npm init -y` first.
-Adding Git or a manifest later is safe; run `mancode refresh-project` to update
-the detected project facts and installed static adapters.
-
-After initialization, keep using your coding agent normally. `solo` mode runs by
-default: practice day, no ceremony. Use `/man` when a task needs planning,
-testing, and multi-agent review: playoffs, every possession counts.
-
-Invocation is surface-specific. Claude Code and Cursor use `/man`, `/manba`,
-and the other slash-style mode names. Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app, CLI, or
-IDE extension loads repo skills from `.agents/skills/`; `$man`, `$manba`, and
-the other `$` mentions are the portable explicit syntax. In the ChatGPT desktop
-app, enabled skills also appear in the slash-command list, so a discovered
-`man` skill can be selected there as `/man`. In CLI/IDE, use `$man` or `/skills`.
-These are agent skills, not deprecated custom prompts. See the official
-[skills](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills) and
-[slash-command](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/reference/slash-commands) docs.
-Existing workflow metadata remains compatible and does not need migration.
-
-## Continue Work Across Sessions
-
-mancode keeps goals, requirements, plans, validation results, and handoff notes
-under a stable `TaskRef`. When you open a new chat window, restart your coding
-agent, or continue from another supported CLI, the new session can resume the
-same task and load a purpose-specific Context Pack without depending on the old
-conversation remaining open.
-
-This resumes **task context**, not raw chat history. Sessions from different
-clients remain isolated. A new session uses its own client identity and
-explicitly resumes the existing TaskRef, preserving continuity without treating
-one window's temporary state as another window's identity.
-
-```bash
-mancode status --brief --json
-mancode context session new --client claude-code
-mancode context session show --session <id> --client claude-code --json
-mancode context resume <namespace:ULID> --session <id> --client claude-code
-mancode context show --purpose orient --session <id> --client claude-code
-```
-
-When the project has a local mancode install, pin one CLI binary for the whole
-task: prefer `./node_modules/.bin/mancode`, otherwise use `mancode`. Check the
-selected binary with `--version` once and do not mix versions afterward.
-
-The original `/man`, `/manba`, and `/manteam` entries handle these steps. The
-CLI form above is useful for diagnostics, automation, or manual recovery.
-
-## Cross-Client and Team Collaboration
-
-mancode gives team projects stable TaskRefs, isolated sessions, governance
-ledgers, worktree claims and handoffs, and optional git-ref coordination across
-clones. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, ZCode, Kimi Code, and
-Qoder use the same
-workflow data through platform bootstraps; platform files do not hold task or
-session copies.
-
-Under git-ref transport, workflow create, requirements, plan, review, and
-verification mutations use an explicit deferred publication boundary. Run the
-mutation without `--sync`, commit the matching `.mancode/shared` changes with
-the code baseline, then run
-`mancode team sync push shared:<ULID> --expected-task-revision N`. Passing
-`--sync` directly to those commands returns
-`MANCODE_GIT_REF_DEFERRED_SYNC_REQUIRED`; cross-clone synchronization is
-complete only after the push returns a receipt.
-
-Atomic git-ref mutations that explicitly require `--sync`, such as
-`workflow update`, complete the remote CAS before materializing the local
-projection. If a resumable `in_progress` or `blocked` task leaves tracked
-`.mancode/shared` changes, commit that projection and run the same
-`team sync push` with the unchanged task revision to rebind the remote code
-head. Another clone must not resume until this push returns a receipt.
-
-For a new project, start with one platform you actually use:
-
-```bash
-mancode init --team --platform claude-code
-mancode team identity create --name "Your name"
-mancode context session new --client claude-code
-mancode list-platforms
-```
-
-Plain `mancode init` generates the original `man`, `manba`, `manteam`, `manps`,
-and `mansolo` host commands. No separate command family is required. Use
-`mancode init --legacy` only when the old `state.json` architecture is required.
-
-Use the CLI for creation, resume, and coordination: `mancode workflow create`,
-`mancode context resume`, `mancode team claim`, and `mancode team handoff`. For
-an existing project, begin with `mancode migrate context --dry-run`, then follow
-its stage and activation report. Do not manually mix legacy `state.json` writes
-with current workflow authority.
