 No install, no config, no API key, no real session needed — prints a sample
 report so you can see the output shape immediately.
 
+Then, in a project you actually use an agent in:
+
+```bash
+npx rulereceipt
+```
+
+With no arguments it runs **history mode**: it checks *every* session for this
+project in the last 30 days and leads with the rules broken most — each with a
+count, the last date, and one quoted line from the session. The headline counts
+only proven breaks (a structured check with evidence); judgment rules stay on
+their own line, so the number never overstates. `rulereceipt check` still checks
+one session in full.
+
+To stop it happening again:
+
+```bash
+npx rulereceipt protect
+```
+
+Adds a PreToolUse guard and a Stop hook to `.claude/settings.json` — after
+showing you exactly what it will add and asking. `protect --undo` restores the
+file byte-for-byte. It's the only place RuleReceipt writes settings, and only
+with your yes.

+/**
+ * `rulereceipt protect` — the one-command "fix it" that pairs with history
+ * mode's "here's what broke". It wires RuleReceipt's enforcement into Claude
+ * Code: a PreToolUse guard (refuses a command that breaks a file/branch rule,
+ * and asks before an unapproved push/commit) and a Stop hook (won't let a
+ * session end on a broken rule or an unbacked "done").
+ *
+ * RuleReceipt's whole stance is that a tool must not silently write to your
+ * settings, so this is the ONE place it writes — and only after showing exactly
+ * what it will add and asking. `protect --undo` restores the settings file
+ * byte-for-byte (or removes it, if there was none before). Writes are atomic
+ * (temp file + rename) so a crash mid-write can never leave a half-file.
