Closes #490. (Replaces #491 — the gh-issue-develop branch name carried +, which the .buildinfo provenance stamp test rightly rejects.)

The model recommendation

  • Subtitle: model-agnostic — GLM-5.3 or Kimi K3 recommended (was "Kimi K3, Muse Spark, open models").
  • Models paragraph: the recommended setup is an opencode go subscription — extra usage for long campaigns (autonomous research sessions are token-hungry) — running GLM-5.3 or Kimi K3, the two models the loop is tuned against. Model-agnostic framing intact: bring your own provider and key, the loop is the product.

Stale facts found by parsing the README against the repo

  1. Public-skill count: 37 → 38 (verified against packages/extension/skills/).
  2. Skills table: listed the internal-only fleet skill (never shipped in the vsix — it lives in the server's staged set only) and omitted six shipped skills (amico-slack, autoresearch, problem-types, grill-with-docs, improve-codebase-architecture, teach). Table now matches the directory exactly — machine-checked: 38 listed / 38 shipped, zero phantoms, zero omissions.
  3. Terminal sentence: "the vendored, amicode-aware binary" predates M4 — the Amicode terminal's opencode is now the managed, auto-updated canonical build, with opencode-amicode shimming the vendored fleet build. Same OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT as the chat, so the diagnostics story is unchanged.

Flagged, not changed (follow-ups)

  • The onboarding panel's PROVIDER_MODELS['opencode'] lists Claude/GPT models but not GLM-5.3 / Kimi K3 — the onboarding UI should surface the recommended models. Product change, separate issue-worthy.
  • No telaio/subscription specifics pre-announced — the existing "arriving" language stays accurate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated recommended model and subscription guidance to highlight GLM-5.3 and Kimi K3 through an opencode Go subscription.
    • Clarified Fleet terminal documentation for the managed, automatically updated opencode build and its opencode-amicode alias.
    • Updated the public skill catalog from 37 to 38 entries, including new Slack, autoresearch, schema-check, engineering, and system skills.

… K3; fix stale facts

Model story (the recommendation, per team strategy): the recommended
setup is an opencode go subscription — extra usage for long campaigns —
running GLM-5.3 or Kimi K3, the two models the loop is tuned against.
Model-agnostic framing intact (bring your own provider/key). Subtitle
updated to match; Muse Spark dropped from the recommendation.

Stale facts found by parsing the README against the repo:
- public-skill count 37 → 38 (verified against the directory)
- skills table listed the internal-only fleet skill (never shipped in
  the vsix) and omitted six shipped ones (amico-slack, autoresearch,
  problem-types, grill-with-docs, improve-codebase-architecture, teach)
  — table now matches packages/extension/skills/ exactly (38/38,
  machine-checked)
- the Amicode-terminal sentence said 'the vendored, amicode-aware
  binary' — post-M4 the terminal's opencode is the managed, auto-updated
  canonical build, with opencode-amicode shimming the vendored fleet
  build

Closes #490.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The README now recommends GLM-5.3 or Kimi K3 through an opencode Go subscription, documents the managed opencode build and opencode-amicode alias, and lists 38 public skills.

Changes

README guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model and terminal guidance
README.md
The README updates model and subscription recommendations and documents the managed opencode build with the opencode-amicode alias.
Public skill inventory
README.md
The README changes the public skill count from 37 to 38 and updates the listed skills.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d424f

The README updates model and skill guidance but still contains inaccurate /fleet and terminal behavior descriptions that could mislead users during setup. The risk is localized and mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct those statements.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 103-112: Correct the /fleet guidance near the skills documentation
to reflect that no public fleet manifest exists: either qualify /fleet as
internal-only or remove the reference. Keep the table of 38 public skills
unchanged.
- Line 73: The README paragraph describing Amicode Terminal and pnpm sync has an
inaccurate terminal contract. Update it so opencode is described as using the
managed canonical binary only after bootstrap and the vendored binary
beforehand, pnpm sync is identified solely as running scripts/repo-sync.sh
without invoking opencode or inspecting panel state, and the
OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT claim is qualified because Fleet client mode does not
spawn local chat or provide that variable.

Your machines form one logical studio. Vault mounts sync via `armonia-sync-once` (launchd, every 15 min); the chat database stays canonical via an SSH mesh; WIP follows you between hosts with `leave`/`arrive`. No second writer ever touches the same SQLite file, no live `.git` is file-synced — the invariants are enforced, not assumed. Check it with `/fleet`; the skill is the playbook. Solo still works fully offline — the fleet simply means you never have to choose which machine holds the truth.

When the canonical is unreachable, `Amicode: Fleet — Enter Local Fallback` lets you keep working offline (local sessions, `Fleet: LOCAL FALLBACK` in the status bar) and `Rejoin` merges back when the tunnel is back. Drift is surfaced by `Amicode: Healthcheck` (`Fleet guard / settings / tunnel`) and one-command `pnpm sync` (`--check` CI twin, `--fix` also `git pull` + `fetch:opencode` + `Fleet — Repair`) — `Amicode: Repo Sync` runs it, and `Amicode: Open Amicode Terminal` opens a shell whose `opencode` is the vendored, amicode-aware binary (same `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` as the chat) so `pnpm sync` there diagnoses the same panel you see.

Correct the terminal contract in README.md line 73.

  • opencode uses the managed canonical binary only after bootstrap. Before then, it resolves to the vendored binary.
  • pnpm sync runs scripts/repo-sync.sh; it does not invoke opencode or inspect panel state.
  • Fleet client mode has no local chat spawn, so the terminal does not receive OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT. Qualify the “same config as the chat” claim.
