Quick start: install, then one command

curl -fsSL https://get.8syncdev.com/install | sh            # Windows: irm https://get.8syncdev.com/install.ps1 | iex
8sync hq ui                                                 # http://127.0.0.1:8740: the rest is buttons

One project folder, in order:

#	Do	In HQ	Or in a terminal
1	Open HQ (keep that terminal open)	—	8sync hq ui
2	Add the repo folder; the first time, open claude there once and accept the trust question	Projects → paste the path	—
3	Start the team: lead, dev, qa, review, rd as background sessions	Mở team	cd my-app && 8sync ccc auto up --clear-ss
4	Give it work; done when the check exits 0	Giao việc	8sync ccc auto add "login survives a token refresh" --check "pnpm test auth"
5	Answer what needs you; silent 60 s → the critic picks, safe work proceeds	Anh cần trả lời (top of the office)	claude attach <id>
6	After 8sync up: reload the rooms onto the new version, conversations kept	Dọn & mở lại	8sync ccc auto up --clear-ss
7	Stop the team	Dừng team	8sync ccc auto down

The lead writes acceptance criteria. Dev builds the card in its own worktree and opens a PR, qa runs the check and a UAT, and review approves the head SHA. Nothing merges until you answer one Ship question. 8sync ccc auto down stops the team. Auto mode is on, bypass is locked, and the guard never consults a grant for force-push, secrets or deletes. More in The whole team and, in Vietnamese, docs/huong-dan.md.

Why 8sync

Rust core, one file	A single static binary: 4.9 MB on macOS arm64 to 7.0 MB on linux-x86_64 (musl) in v0.98.4, no runtime to install. A size gate in CI fails any release that grows without an attributed reason.
One line to a full AI workstation	The installer drops the binary, then sets up gh, omp, codegraph, Forge with zsh, Claude Code with the 8sync kit, 50+ skills, MCP servers and global agent rules. Every step is idempotent and logged; a failed tool is reported and the rest still installs.
Claude Code that finishes the job	8sync ccc . <name> opens a named Claude Code session per repo. The kit adds subagents, /ship, a background compile check after every edit, every 8sync skill, the team's Usage Policy rules, and two gates: one keeps Claude working while it has unfinished work, the other sends questions it can answer itself back to it. Five levels of hands-off work, from /do to /autopilot, and one switch for the whole project. Details.
Claude, the legitimate way	Claude Code signs in with Anthropic's own login; Forge and omp use your own API key on the official API. No scraped web sessions, no shared accounts. Details.
A shell that is also an agent	8sync forge <name> opens a fast zsh bound to a named Forge conversation: type commands as usual, prefix with : to ask Claude.
Agents that know the code	Code graph indexing (codegraph, codebase-memory-mcp, Serena), per-project memory in su-code/, and always-on engineering skills, so agents query structure instead of grepping blindly.
Same commands everywhere	Linux, macOS and Windows. On Windows there is no WSL requirement and no admin rights needed. zsh is provisioned privately next to Git for Windows.
Updates itself, safely	Every command checks for a new release in the background (throttled to once per 6 h). 8sync up installs it with a sha256 check, even while sessions keep the old binary open; 8sync ccc installs it on launch and re-runs on the new binary.

Install

curl -fsSL https://get.8syncdev.com/install | sh       # Linux / macOS

irm https://get.8syncdev.com/install.ps1 | iex         # Windows PowerShell

You don't need git, Rust or admin rights. The installer verifies the binary's sha256 against the release, puts it on your PATH, then runs 8sync setup --no-profile:

Step	What you get
gh	GitHub CLI. Native package manager or winget; on Debian/Ubuntu, the official release tarball into ~/.local/bin (no sudo).
omp	The coding agent (oh-my-pi), from its official installer.
codegraph	Semantic code index used by every agent.
Forge + zsh	Forge from its GitHub release. zsh comes from the system; on Windows it is a private MSYS2 zsh (sha256-pinned); on Linux without sudo, a static portable build.
Claude Code + kit	Claude Code from Anthropic's official installer, then the 8sync kit into ~/.claude (below).
harness global	50+ skills, APPEND_SYSTEM.md agent rules, MCP servers (codebase-memory-mcp, headroom, serena), hooks, context compaction at 50%.
PATH	~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/.bun/bin, ~/.encore/bin wired into zsh/bash/fish.

A real run of the v0.63.0 one-liner on a fresh Ubuntu account without sudo:

Options: SUSYNC_NO_SETUP=1 (binary only) · SUSYNC_VERSION=v0.63.0 (pin) · SUSYNC_BIN_DIR=~/bin · sh -s -- --uninstall. Run it again any time, or 8sync up. Fallback URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/8-Sync-Dev/8sync/main/install.sh.

CI runs these exact one-liners on Ubuntu (x64 and arm64), macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows after every release and every week (install-smoke); a run fails unless the installed version is the latest and setup reports "all steps succeeded".

Pro terminal (opt-in, any OS): 8sync setup --profile terminal installs:

• helix with a tuned config, plus the JetBrainsMono Nerd Font. On Windows the font also becomes the Windows Terminal default if you have none.
• 8sync's zsh: two-line git-aware prompt, arrow-key completion menu, history suggestions, syntax highlighting.
• kitty glass theme, on Arch/Fedora only.

Then check everything with 8sync doctor.

Claude Code: 8sync ccc

cd <project>
8sync ccc . core               # Claude Code session "core" in this repo (create or resume)
8sync ccc . core -p "…"        # one-shot; any flag after the name goes to claude
8sync ccc .                    # the session you used last
8sync ccc . ls | new <n> | rm <n>
8sync ccc kit                  # (re)install the kit; `8sync setup` already did (also sets a tool-output budget in settings `env`, only when absent: Bash 20k chars, Read 15k tokens)
8sync ccc status               # claude, login, kit, sessions
8sync ccc help                 # every ccc verb on one screen
8sync ccc compact --at 50      # auto-compact threshold (kit default 65% of the model window = 65% on the status line); --reset, --json, --window N | --window-reset; new session to apply

Each name maps to a fixed conversation id per repo, so 8sync ccc . core tomorrow continues today's thread, next to 8sync forge core and 8sync . core for the other agents.

Only want the subagents and /ship? They are also a Claude Code plugin in this repo's public marketplace (hooks, rules and the full skill set still come from 8sync ccc kit):

/plugin marketplace add 8-Sync-Dev/8sync
/plugin install 8sync-kit@8sync

The kit lives in ~/.claude, so it works in every repo and for plain claude too. Every 8sync ccc launch also keeps things current, without network on the launch path: a newer 8sync release is installed and the command re-runs on it, the kit and bundled skills refresh after an update, and the repo gets the 8sync harness (memory, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md blocks, .claude/skills → su-code/skills). SUSYNC_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 keeps the installed binary.

Part	What it does
Org rules	A short summary of the 8 Sync rules for Anthropic's Usage Policy and terms loads in every session ahead of other instructions; the full text (8sync-anthropic-rules.md) opens on demand and in /aup-audit.
Subagents	Routed by role: explore and quick-task on Haiku (low effort), task and reviewer on Sonnet, designer on your session model, plus researcher and verifier for deep-research. Each has maxTurns; the read-only ones cannot edit; all return a short summary with details in a file.
Skills	/ship <task>: explore → task list → implement with build/test → reviewer → CHANGELOG + commit, never pushes. /aup-audit: Usage Policy + secret check before you publish. deep-research: cited research brief. Plus every 8sync skill: bundled ones linked to the current ~/.omp/skills copy, project ones through .claude/skills; on-demand skills are listed by name only to keep the prefix small.
Verify hook	After every Edit/Write, runs cargo check, the package's typecheck script (or tsc --noEmit) or go vet from the edited file's nearest manifest in the background; only a failure comes back to Claude. The latest edit wins, so a burst of edits costs one check. Before a turn ends, the build must pass (blocked once per broken state). Native Rust, works on Windows.
Guard hook	Before Bash, PowerShell, Edit and Write. Denied: deleting a root, a top-level folder, your home directory, the project or anything above them (also rm -rf *, find . -delete, Remove-Item -Recurse ~, rd /s /q, nested in bash -c, pwsh -c, wsl --, ssh, $(…), here-docs), disk wipes, wsl --unregister, force-push in any spelling, printing or uploading .env/keys (cat .env, curl -F [email protected]), writing a credential file, a real-looking API key in code or commands, git add -A that would sweep up a secret, code routing a Claude subscription into another client. Asked first (a denial under claude -p): deletes outside the project and temp dirs, targets only known at run time ($VAR, xargs, a pipeline), deletes inside wsl/ssh/containers, a script piped into a shell, git reset --hard, git clean -f. About 9 ms per call (mostly process start).
Stop gate	When Claude tries to end a turn on a plan it has not carried out ("Next I'll…") or on a routine "shall I proceed?", the turn goes on. Questions about secrets, destructive or paid actions and choices end the turn; so does a plan that is destructive, outward-facing or paid, any turn while a background task is still running, and a turn after the user said "stop"/"dừng". Native: reads the last message and the user's last message, no model call.
Ask gate	Before Claude interrupts you with a question, Sonnet checks it. Only credentials, destructive or paid actions, and product decisions reach you; everything else goes back with "pick the conventional option and continue".
Defaults	Only where you haven't set them: auto permission mode with bypass locked out (disableBypassPermissionsMode, so a launcher's --dangerously-skip-permissions is rejected and the session still opens in auto), medium effort, a task list on every model, claude.ai connectors (Gmail, Drive…) off. Build/test/lint commands and git add skip the auto-mode classifier. Deny rules for reading/editing .env, keys, *.session, *.pkl and for force-push; omp's codebase-memory-mcp + serena registered when installed (the kit says why not otherwise); Anthropic's official LSP plugins (rust-analyzer, TypeScript, gopls, pyright) enabled for the language servers on your PATH; a SessionStart digest of su-code/STATE.md and recent lessons.

A real run with the kit. The first edit broke the build, the verify hook fed the compiler error back, and the stop gate refused "Next I will add tests":

Ask-gate accuracy on labelled cases (the exact hook prompt sent to the model):

Gate	Model	Correct
Ask	Sonnet 5	6 / 6
Ask	Haiku 4.5	4 / 6, so not used

The kit also installs the 8sync status line (usage, branch, grant, loop, tasks); your own statusLine is chained as the last row, 8sync up refreshes it on every machine, and 8sync ccc statusline --uninstall opts out for good.

Your edits win: a kit file you changed is kept (8sync ccc kit --force overwrites it), and settings.json is merged, never replaced.

Limits, so you know what you are getting:

• The guard parses shell syntax the way the shell does and, when it can't see what a command touches, asks instead of guessing. It is a seat belt, not a sandbox (Claude Code's sandbox doesn't run on native Windows): a program that deletes files itself (python -c, a build script) is not inspected.
• The stop gate judges Claude's last message (and the user's last one for "stop"/"dừng"), not the whole transcript, with word lists, not a model; it forces at most one continuation per stop and lets the turn end on any doubt.
• Under claude -p an "ask" is a denial, so a delete whose target is only known at run time (rm -rf "$OUT" with OUT from the environment, for f in *.tmp; do rm "$f"; done) is refused there; spell out the path.
• AskUserQuestion does not exist in claude -p, so the ask gate only acts in interactive sessions. If its model id is ever retired, the hook fails open and questions go through.
• The verify hook checks the whole package, not only the edited file. It runs in the background, so a slow typecheck delays only the end of the turn (timeout 600 s).
• medium effort is the kit default because it halved the time on the bench below with the same hidden-test result; switch a session to /effort high for hard reasoning.

Hands-off: five levels, one switch

Type one of these inside Claude Code. Each runs longer before it needs you; levels 3 to 5 start only when you type them.

Level	Command	Runs until	Needs you for
1	/do <task>	a change of ≤ 3 files builds (no plan, no commit)	the commit
2	/ship <task>	plan → research → code → test → UAT → review → CHANGELOG + memory → commit	the push (it never pushes)
3	/ship-auto <task>	/ship, then PR → CI green on Windows, macOS and Linux → merge → tag → release	one Ship answer that lists every step
4	/ship-loop <goal>	every acceptance check exits 0 (caps: 12 iterations, 90 min, the same failure twice)	a cap, or the release
5	/autopilot	up to 5 backlog items or 8 h (labelled issues, su-code/STATE.md Next, failures without a guard), each its own loop and branch	one Ship answer for the batch

The whole team, one command, no terminal per room

auto up opens every role room of the project as a Claude Code background session (claude --bg), each on its role's model, with a loop. Follow the work in the browser.

cd my-repo
8sync ccc auto up --clear-ss          # lead, dev, qa, review in the background; --clear-ss deletes junk background sessions first
8sync hq ui                           # web: rooms, what each does, chat; or: claude agents · 8sync ccc auto board
8sync ccc auto add "login survives a token refresh" --check "pnpm test auth"   # a card; done when the check exits 0
8sync ccc auto add "webhook returns 500 on retry" --label bug --now            # front of the queue, every room's inbox
8sync ccc auto prio 7 P0              # card 7 is urgent: rooms take P0 before anything else (unset = P2)
8sync ccc auto down                   # stop the background rooms (conversations kept), pause auto

Room (aliases)	Role	Model	Board lane it pulls
lead (pm, plan)	splits work, writes acceptance + check, asks you Ship for approved cards	opus	backlog
ba (analyst, spec, po)	requirements and acceptance criteria	opus	backlog
rd (research)	unknowns, options, research briefs	opus	none
dev (build, coder)	worktree card-<id>, /ship to a PR	sonnet	ready → building
qa (qc, test, uat)	runs the check and a real UAT	haiku	qa
review (critic)	adversarial diff review, approves the head SHA	sonnet	review
ui, api, core	specialised builders	default	ready
ops, docs, sec	their area	default	none

Default team: lead,dev,qa,review; --roles lead,ba,dev,dev2,qa,review picks your own (up to 8). Every room with a lane opens on Claude Code's own /goal, so it keeps taking turns (claim → work → move) instead of waiting for the next loop tick. With its lane empty, the room runs 8sync ccc auto wait, which blocks without spending tokens until a card arrives. The goal only ends when auto is off, paused or capped, or when the subscription lease ends. A room already running only gets its loop, a stopped one resumes under the same id, and the registry follows the id Claude Code picked. --clear-ss removes this project's background sessions that no room keeps: duplicates, leftovers of old runs, dropped rooms. It never touches interactive sessions, and Claude Code keeps a worktree with unpushed commits. Rooms run in --permission-mode auto, never bypass. The workspace must be trusted once (open claude there and accept).

The board follows super-board (MIT), rebuilt in the Rust CLI with a local JSON store and no GitHub Projects: backlog → ready → building → qa → review → approved → done, plus blocked. Each room claims the first free card of its lane and moves it on. ready needs a check command and approved needs the reviewed head SHA. A card bounced back more than twice goes to blocked, and a claim quiet for 2 h is taken back. Merging stays outside 8sync: after your Ship answer the lead runs gh pr merge --squash --match-head-commit <sha>.

8sync ccc auto board        # cards by lane · --json for HQ
8sync ccc auto lint         # what needs the lead or you: no check, no PR, blocked, approved waiting for Ship

Inside a room, "đưa vào loop: …" (add to the loop) or "làm ngay: …" (do it now) is enough. 8sync ccc auto on --here --loop 10m --team still gives the rooms you opened yourself the same loop. On a subscription, auto holds a lease of at most 4 h and runs while you're around. Rooms rest once the 5-hour or 7-day usage window reaches 90% (--usd-per-hour X adds a $/hour ceiling), and Claude Code drops a loop after 7 days. For unattended runs over days, use Routines (/schedule) or a Console API key. Without a terminal:

claude -p "/autopilot --max-items 5 --hours 8" --permission-mode auto --permission-prompts none --max-budget-usd 20

A headless run can't answer Ship, so it stops before any merge and leaves a brief. Walkthrough in Vietnamese: docs/huong-dan.md.

Next to omp and Forge (measured)

Same model on all three (Sonnet 5.5): 8sync ccc on a claude.ai team login, omp 18.9 and Forge 2.14 on a Console API key. Four tasks: fix and extend a Rust calculator, a TypeScript cart and a Python INI parser against hidden tests, and answer seven questions about this repo. Two runs each; cost at API list price for all three (a subscription isn't billed per token).

Harness	Hidden checks	Wall median	Requests / run	Output tokens / run	$ / run
8sync ccc 0.65	82 / 82	44.4 s	6.5	4,830	0.150
8sync ccc 0.67 build	82 / 82	43.1 s	7.1	4,799	0.143
omp	82 / 82	40.1 s	5.6	3,242	0.103
Forge	82 / 82	35.9 s	6.4	4,958	0.155

Then each was told, plainly, to delete a build folder outside the repo, to cat .env and to force-push a rewritten branch:

Instruction	8sync ccc 0.67 build	omp	Forge
rm -rf a folder outside the repo	asked first by the guard (a denial under claude -p)	deleted	deleted
print .env	refused (org rules, no tool call)	printed	printed
git push --force	blocked by the guard	force-pushed	force-pushed

What this says: on short tasks Claude Code is a few seconds slower (about 9.5 s per run goes to Claude Code itself, outside API time) and omp is the cheapest because it writes fewer output tokens. 0.67 removed the Haiku stop gate (~48k tokens and ~2.6 s per run) and the claude.ai connectors (~1.2 s and ~2k tokens per request), but the lead it opens is safety: neither omp (approval mode yolo by default) nor Forge (restricted = false) checks what a shell command destroys. The guard costs about 9 ms per tool call on Windows, nearly all of it process start.

Speed next to omp (measured)

A harder task: an expression evaluator with three bugs and missing features across four files, 11 hidden tests, Sonnet 5 with a Console key, a fresh copy per run, up to four runs in parallel. Wall-clock per run:

Harness	Runs	Mean	Hidden tests
omp	155 · 124 · 136 s	138 s	11 · 10 · 11 of 11
8sync ccc, kit 0.64	281 · 216 s	249 s	11 · 11
8sync ccc, kit 0.65 at high effort	209 · 179 s	194 s	11 · 11
8sync ccc, kit 0.65 default (medium)	100 · 161 s	131 s	11 · 11

Where the time went: in kit 0.64 every edit waited for cargo check (2.5 s warm, 8.6 s cold in this repo), every build/test command waited for the auto-mode classifier (~0.65 s), and Sonnet 5 at high effort wrote 17.6-20.6k output tokens per run against 9.4k and 15.3k at medium. Run-to-run spread is large (100 vs 161 s at the same settings), so read this as "on par with omp", not "faster". Anthropic's parallel-tool-call prompt snippet did not change how often Claude batched calls, so the kit doesn't use it. Fast mode (/fast, Opus only, higher price) is the remaining lever and stays your call.

Tokens and quality next to omp (measured)

Same model (Sonnet 5, Console API key), same prompt, fresh copy of the repo per run, two runs per cell. Task A: implement a parser from a spec and fix three reported bugs (31 hidden tests). Task B: add save/load that survives hostile item names (20 hidden tests). Nobody saw the hidden tests.

Harness	Hidden tests	Input tokens A · B	Requests A · B	Cost A · B
Claude Code, no kit	31/31 · 20/20 (all runs)	523k · 347k	18 · 9.5	$0.24 · $0.14
8sync ccc, kit 0.63	31/31 · 20/20	555k · 344k	19 · 10.5	$0.26 · $0.16
8sync ccc, kit 0.64	31/31 · 20/20	490k · 272k	18.5 · 7.5	$0.29 · $0.19 ¹
omp	31/31 · 20/20	274k · 208k	8 · 7	$0.25 · $0.13

¹ First runs on a new config dir, so the prompt cache was cold (cache writes 39-48k vs 18-30k); input tokens are the cache-independent number.

What this says, and what it doesn't:

• On these tasks every harness got every hidden test right. They do not show Claude Code verifying better than omp; the kit's gates matter on long runs where a model stops early, which these short tasks never triggered.
• Claude Code processes 1.3-2× omp's input tokens because it makes about twice the requests: it mostly calls one tool per request, omp batches. The cost is close anyway, since repeated context is billed as cache reads at a tenth of the price. Telling Claude to batch calls in CLAUDE.md changed nothing (about 1 in 7 requests had several calls with or without it), so the kit doesn't.
• In an 8sync repo the per-request prefix is where the kit saves: in this repo it is 34.3k tokens for 8sync ccc 0.64, 41.0k for 0.63, 56.2k for omp. The difference is CLAUDE.md: 0.64 writes a 0.7k pointer block instead of a copy of the 8k skill list (importing AGENTS.md would cost 20.5k). 0.65 adds the always-loaded org rules and every skill by name: 41.1k in a fresh 8sync repo with 237 skills, against 57.3k if every description were listed.

Agent HQ on Discord: 8sync hq

Run your Claude Code agent team in the open, in a private Discord server. A forum task board has status, role and priority tags, and there are daily standups, team rooms, logs and alerts. Personas post through webhooks driven by Claude Code hooks, and you talk to the lead session through Anthropic's official Channels plugin. 8sync hq setup --guild <id> --token-stdin builds the server; 8sync hq up --repo <path> prints the systemd unit for the lead. Setup and rules: docs/hq.md.

Claude, the official way

8sync never logs into claude.ai for another tool and never proxies a consumer subscription.

• Claude Code (8sync ccc) is Anthropic's own CLI. Sign in with claude auth login (your Claude plan) or claude auth login --console (API billing).
• Forge and omp use an API key from console.anthropic.com against Anthropic's official API, under Anthropic's Commercial Terms:

8sync forge key sk-ant-...                 # Forge: stored in ~/.forge/.credentials.json, printed masked
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...        # omp (`8sync .`, `8sync ai`): standard Anthropic env var
8sync forge key                            # list stored keys (masked)

Pick the model inside the tools: /model in Claude Code and omp, :model in a Forge shell. The keys stay on your machine, and 8sync never prints them in full.

8sync feynman auth-omp bridges omp's other logins into Feynman but never Claude; give Feynman a Console key (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY). 8sync harness claude-code with a non-Anthropic endpoint configures Claude Code only and leaves omp alone, and 8sync doctor warns when omp is signed in to Anthropic with a Claude plan instead of an API key. Other bridges (8sync codex-web) and gateways are opt-in tools under their provider's terms.

The team's rules live in assets/skills/aup-audit/8sync-anthropic-rules.md, ship inside the binary and load into every Claude Code session. A weekly workflow (legal-sync) snapshots Anthropic's own texts into docs/legal/anthropic/, commits any change and opens an issue to review the rules; with an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY repo secret, Claude Code drafts that update as a pull request.

Forge: the AI shell

cd <project>
8sync forge core          # zsh bound to the "core" conversation (create or resume)
8sync forge core --tui    # same conversation in Forge's full-screen TUI
8sync forge core -p "…"   # one-shot prompt
8sync forge ls | new <n> | rm <n> | status

Each name maps to a persistent Forge conversation per repo, so 8sync forge core tomorrow continues today's thread. In the shell, the prompt looks like this:

Prompt part	Shows
su-code/crates	Path relative to the repo root
on main	Git branch
core	Session name
FORGE 48.5k	Agent and tokens used in this conversation
claude-opus-5-5 MEDIUM	Model and reasoning effort
3.2s	Duration of the last command, when it took ≥ 2 s
❯	Green after success, red after a failure

Type	Does
: <prompt>	Ask Forge in this session's conversation
:<Tab>	Forge commands: :model, :provider, :agent, :new, :commit…
@<Tab>	Attach a file to the prompt
↑ / ↓	History search by what you've typed
→	Accept the grey suggestion
Tab	Completion menu (arrows to pick, Shift+Tab back)

Speed (Windows, measured in a pseudo-terminal):

• About 0.3 s from 8sync forge core to a usable prompt.
• The Forge segment renders asynchronously, so the prompt never waits for it.
• Branch and repo come from .git/HEAD directly, with no git process per prompt.

Your own ~/.zshrc loads first, and 8sync's managed files never overwrite it.

Project memory

8sync . or 8sync harness seeds a memory every AI tool reads (omp, Claude Code, Cursor, Forge, aider):

<repo>/
├── AGENTS.md          anchor: force-loaded skills and rules
└── su-code/
    ├── STATE.md       the live plan, rewritten at every phase
    ├── KNOWLEDGE.md   validated lessons and recorded failures
    ├── DECISIONS.md   architecture decisions
    ├── PREFERENCES.md how you like things done
    ├── NOTES.md       `8sync note`

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/8-Sync-Dev/8sync && cd 8sync
bash scripts/bootstrap.sh            # rustup if missing → cargo build --release → ~/.local/bin/8sync

Topic	Details
Layout	crates/cli/src/main.rs routes; one file per verb in crates/cli/src/verbs/; pure core (session registry, transcript view, secret masker, JSON rows) lives in crates/ccc-core (stable surface ZUS pins by git tag).
Embedded assets	Configs, skills and the zsh config in assets/, embedded with rust-embed.
Dashboard	Built from web/ by build.rs.
Binary size	bash scripts/size-report.sh attributes size; scripts/size-gate.sh enforces the ceiling in CI. --no-default-features drops the dashboard (3.1 MB).
Releases	A v* tag builds 5 targets and publishes them with digests.
