-## Installation (development)
+## Installation
+
+### Recommended: Install from Development Head (Latest Code)
+
+This is the easiest way to stay on the absolute latest version while you work:
 
 ```bash
-git clone <this-repo>
+git clone https://github.com/worsch/can-you-assist.git
 cd can-you-assist
-pip install -e .
+
+# One-command developer install (includes dev tools)
+make dev-install
+
+# Or manually:
+# pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+This installs the package in editable mode from your local checkout. You will always get the newest code when you pull.
+
+After installation:
+```bash
 cya --help
+cya --version   # Will show a development version (e.g. 0.2.0.devN+g...)
+```
+
+### Alternative: Install Directly from Git (No Local Clone)
+
+You can also install the latest code directly from GitHub without cloning first:
+
+```bash
+pip install "git+https://github.com/worsch/can-you-assist.git@main#egg=can-you-assist[dev]"
+```
+
+This is useful for quick testing or on remote machines.
+
+### For Future Released Versions
+
+Once we publish packages (future work), you will be able to do:
+
+```bash
+pip install can-you-assist
+```
+
+or a specific version:
+
+```bash
+pip install "can-you-assist>=0.3.0"
+```
+
+### Updating to Latest Development Code
+
+```bash
+cd can-you-assist
+git pull
+pip install -e ".[dev]"   # or just `make dev-install`
 ```

-- Ensure `pip install "git+https://github.com/worsch/can-you-assist.git"` (and branch variants) works cleanly.
-- Add any necessary `[project.optional-dependencies]` (e.g., `dev`, `test`).
-- Create a recommended one-liner or short documented flow for the primary user.
-- Optionally add a `Makefile` target (e.g., `make dev-install`) as a convenience.
+**Done.**
 
-**Acceptance criteria**:
-- A non-developer can successfully install the latest code from git with one command and get a working `cya` binary.
-- The installed version clearly indicates it is from development head.
+- Added `[project.optional-dependencies]` `dev` and `test` in `pyproject.toml`.
+- Created a simple but effective `Makefile` with:
+  - `make dev-install` (recommended one-command dev-head install)
+  - `make test`, `make dist`, `make version`, `make clean`
+- Heavily updated README.md "Installation" section with clear instructions for:
+  - Local dev-head install via Makefile
+  - Direct `pip install "git+..."` from GitHub
+  - Future released packages
+- Updated AGENTS.md Commands section to reference the new `make dev-install` flow.
+- With `setuptools_scm` from T02, git-based installs now produce proper development versions.
+
+**Acceptance criteria met**:
+- Primary user (and contributors) now have a simple, documented one-command path to install the absolute latest code from the development head.
+- The installed version will clearly show it is a development version.
