From the ground up

This tutorial walks one path. It starts with a fresh install and ends with a setup you have tuned from your own rejections, and it takes about two hours spread over a few sessions, because some chapters need the records a few days of use produce.

Each chapter ends with a check: the line /just-say-so:doctor should show, or a file that should now exist. Do the chapters in order. Where a step could go two ways, the tutorial picks one; the how-to guides cover the other way when you need it later.

  1. Install and the first file check
  2. What the agent sees
  3. Your first restate
  4. Block errors in files, keep replies on warn
  5. Check what goes out through gh
  6. Add a Vale package and draft its bullets
  7. Reword a shipped bullet and write one of your own
  8. Read the summary, run advise, apply a change
  9. Put the commit gate on the repo
