 # /guidance — Author and audit project guidance
 
-Help the user write, edit, or audit guidance files in their `.claude/guidance/` directory so Claude actually follows the rules they wrote. The skill applies the universal rules from `.claude/guidance/moflo-guidance-rules.md` — that doc is the single source of truth, do not paraphrase or duplicate it here.
+Help the user write, edit, or audit guidance docs. By default the skill writes guidance **for Claude** into `.claude/guidance/` as Markdown and enforces the universal rules from `.claude/guidance/moflo-guidance-rules.md` (the single source of truth — do not paraphrase or duplicate). Flags switch the **audience** (`-h` → humans) and the **output format** (`--html` → HTML).

+## Modes and flags
 
-| Mode | Trigger | What it does |
-|------|---------|--------------|
-| Single-doc | no flag, optional `<topic-or-path>` arg | Walk the user through creating one new doc OR improving one existing doc |
-| Audit | `-a` flag | Two passes over `.claude/guidance/`: (1) **structural audit** scoring each existing doc against the universal rules, (2) **gap analysis** scanning the codebase to identify high-leverage topics that *should* have a guidance doc but don't. Both feed one combined triage report. |
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| (none) | Single-doc mode for **Claude** — Markdown, full universal rules, destination `.claude/guidance/<kebab-topic>.md` |
+| `-h` | Switch audience to **humans** — Markdown, lighter human ruleset, destination `docs/<kebab-topic>.md` |
+| `--html` | Emit **HTML** (with the minimal default stylesheet from Step 2.5) instead of Markdown. Composes with `-h`. |
+| `-a` | **Audit** mode — two-pass triage of `.claude/guidance/` (Claude only). Cannot combine with `-h` or `--html`. |
+| `<topic-or-path>` | Topic name (kebab-cased into the default destination) or an explicit file path that overrides the default destination. |
+
+Combos:
+
+- `-h --html` → HTML for humans, default destination `docs/<kebab-topic>.html`
+- `--html` alone → HTML for Claude. Unusual: Claude reads Markdown, not HTML. Warn the user and offer to add `-h` (write to `docs/` instead).
+- An explicit `<path>` always wins over the default destination. If the path's directory contradicts the audience flag (e.g. `-h .claude/guidance/foo.md`), warn but honor the path.
+- `-a -h` / `-a --html` → reject; audit mode targets `.claude/guidance/` (Claude) and emits a triage report, not a doc.

+**Reject combos** that don't make sense and tell the user why: `-a -h`, `-a --html` (audit emits a triage report, not a doc; it's Claude-targeted by design).

@@ -199,6 +323,8 @@ The full rules live in `.claude/guidance/moflo-guidance-rules.md`. Quick recap:
 - **Never auto-write opinionated content.** Guidance is the user's project policy; ask before injecting your own opinions.
 - **Confirm per file in audit mode.** Bulk edits to the user's guidance directory are high-blast-radius — confirm each one.
 - **The `moflo-` filename prefix is moflo-only.** Consumer projects writing their own guidance do not need it; it exists to avoid collisions when moflo's shipped guidance syncs into a consumer's directory.
+- **`-h` does not change Step 0.** Memory search is still mandatory — only the ruleset and destination change. Audit mode (`-a`) remains Claude-only and ignores `-h` / `--html`.
+- **`--html`: sign off on the Markdown first.** Render to HTML only after the user has approved the rendered Markdown — iterating on the HTML directly is slower and obscures content issues behind markup.

 To verify everything is running, ask Claude to run `flo healer` with full diagnostics after restarting. If anything fails, ask Claude to fix it with `flo healer --fix`. (`flo doctor` is still accepted as an alias.)
 
+## Next Step: Consult the Eldar
+
+After installing moflo, the single highest-leverage thing you can do for the best experience is run **`/eldar`** inside a Claude Code session.
+
+Where `flo healer` verifies that *moflo itself* is wired up correctly, **`/eldar` audits how Claude is set up to actually use your project** — guidance docs, CLAUDE.md, memory namespaces, hook/MCP wiring, model routing, and whether every technology in your stack (TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, etc.) has matching guidance for Claude to lean on. The stack → guidance cross-reference alone is often the difference between *"Claude feels lost in this codebase"* and *"Claude knows this codebase"*.
