+# help
+
+Context-aware onboarding companion for fullsend. Shows the agent pipeline, inspects the local deployment's customizations, and links to upstream docs.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+/fullsend help [topic]
+```
+
+- No argument: show all sections
+- `agents`: agent pipeline and catalog
+- `setup` or `local`: getting started / running locally
+- `customization` or `config`: how to customize agents, skills, harness
+
+## Procedure
+
+### 1. Resolve the target repo
+
+Follow the repo resolution order from the SKILL.md `<repo_resolution>` section to find the repo with `.fullsend/` configuration.
+
+If in a monorepo (e.g., `rhdh-plugins`), note this — the agent operates at repo level, not workspace level.
+
+### 2. Route by topic
+
+| Argument | Sections to show |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| _(none)_ | All: pipeline → local deployment → upstream links |
+| `agents` | Pipeline + agent catalog only |
+| `setup` / `local` | Getting started links + prerequisites only |
+| `customization` / `config` | Local deployment inspection + customization links |
+
+### 3. Agent pipeline (topic: `agents` or all)
+
+Display this pipeline diagram:

+
+Then show the agent catalog:
+
+| Agent | Trigger | What it does |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| **triage** | New issue opened, `/fs-triage` | Assesses issue, asks clarifying questions, labels `ready-to-code` for bugs/docs/perf |
+| **code** | `ready-to-code` label, `/fs-code` | Implements fix/feature in sandbox, commits to feature branch |
+| **review** | `ready-for-review` label, `/fs-review` | Multi-dimension code review (correctness, security, style, docs) |
+| **fix** | Review requests changes, `/fs-fix` | Addresses specific review findings, pushes fix commit |
+| **retro** | PR merged/closed, `/fs-retro` | Retrospective on the full workflow — files improvement issues |
+| **prioritize** | Schedule or `/fs-prioritize` | RICE scoring for project board ranking |
+| **debug** | `/fs-debug` | Sandbox diagnostics — checks toolchain, network, env |
+
+All agents run in a sandboxed container (OpenShell) with no direct push access. Pre/post scripts on the runner handle git operations and safety gates (secret scanning, protected path checks).
+
+### 4. Local deployment inspection (topic: `customization` or all)
+
+Read the target repo's `.fullsend/` directory and present a deployment summary. This section is dynamic — it reflects the actual state of the repo's configuration.
+
+#### 4a. Read config.yaml
+
+```bash
+cat <repo>/.fullsend/config.yaml
+```
+
+Show which roles are enabled:
+```
+Enabled roles: triage, coder, review, fix
+```
+
+#### 4b. Scan customized directory
+
+```bash
+ls <repo>/.fullsend/customized/harness/*.yaml 2>/dev/null
+ls <repo>/.fullsend/customized/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null
+ls <repo>/.fullsend/customized/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null
+ls <repo>/.fullsend/customized/env/*.env 2>/dev/null
+ls <repo>/.fullsend/customized/policies/*.yaml 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+#### 4c. For each customized harness, read it and summarize the overrides
+
+For each `*.yaml` in `customized/harness/`, read the file and extract:
+- `image` — what custom image is used (and why it differs from upstream)
+- `skills` — what skills are loaded (especially custom ones)
+- `host_files` — what extra env/config files are mounted
+- `policy` — which network policy is applied
+- `timeout_minutes` — if different from upstream default
+
+Present as a per-agent summary:
+
+```
+## Your Deployment
+
+### code agent (customized)
+  Image:    ghcr.io/redhat-developer/rhdh-fullsend-code:latest
+  Skills:   code-implementation, monorepo-workspace-routing (custom)
+  Env:      gcp-vertex.env, code-agent.env, rhdh-toolchain.env (custom), yarn-proxy.env (custom)
+  Policy:   policies/code.yaml (custom — adds repo.yarnpkg.com, corepack binary)
+  Timeout:  35 min
+  Prompt:   agents/code.md (customized — adds monorepo routing, zero-trust principle)
+
+### fix agent (customized)
+  Image:    ghcr.io/redhat-developer/rhdh-fullsend-code:latest
+  Skills:   fix-review, monorepo-workspace-routing (custom)
+  ...
+
+### triage agent (upstream defaults)
+### review agent (upstream defaults)
+```
+
+Mark items as "(custom)" when they exist in `customized/` and differ from the upstream scaffold default. For agents without customizations, show as "upstream defaults."
+
+#### 4d. Custom skills
+
+For each skill in `customized/skills/`, read the `SKILL.md` and show name + description:
+
+```
+### Custom Skills
+- monorepo-workspace-routing — Navigate to the correct workspace in a monorepo before starting work
+```
+
+#### 4e. Custom env files
+
+For each `.env` in `customized/env/`, show what it sets:
+
+```
+### Custom Env Files
+- rhdh-toolchain.env — sets COREPACK_HOME=/tmp/corepack (writable dir for corepack)
+- yarn-proxy.env — maps HTTP_PROXY → YARN_HTTP_PROXY (yarn ignores standard proxy vars)
+```
+
+### 5. Upstream docs (topic: `setup` or all)
+
+Present as a linked reference table. Construct URLs as `https://github.com/fullsend-ai/fullsend/blob/main/<path>`.

+### 6. Suggest next steps
+
+Based on the context, suggest relevant `/fullsend` commands:
+
+- "Run `/fullsend validate` to check your customizations against upstream for drift."
+- "Run `/fullsend trigger code #<N>` to trigger the code agent on an issue."
+- "Run `/fullsend inspect <run-id>` to investigate a specific agent run."
