## What trellis does, in the publisher's words

Trellis helps you build Playbooks your agents can use to reliably repeat work you have done before.

Each Playbook is a project-local guide to one real task. It gives an agent the trigger, outcome, method, judgment calls, boundaries, and verification needed to do the work again without relying on the original chat or one person's memory.

- /trellis-init creates or adopts playbooks/ or another project-local folder you choose.
- /capture-playbook creates or revises the exact Playbook you describe.
- /discover-playbooks examines only sessions you select and returns ready-to-edit /capture-playbook... recommendations without writing anything.
- /trellis-audit reviews Playbooks and recommends improvements without executing or changing them.

Playbooks are the only user-facing Trellis artifact. Internal tools can live under the selected Playbooks folder in _cli/ when a Playbook needs a small fixed local-file operation. A project can also explicitly ask an agent for a standalone script beside a Playbook when a broader design is appropriate.
