Documentation

README

Excerpt

Install Rekal

Rekal is git-backed memory of prior AI sessions: why a change was made, what was tried, what was rejected. This installs the binary. Setting up a repository is a separate step — the init skill.

Ask first

The installer downloads a release archive and writes an executable to the user's machine. Say that plainly, then wait for an answer.

If the user declines, stop. Say Rekal is not available and answer from the tree. Declining is a complete answer.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
