+# Capability Registry
+
+Markdown-first capability index for federation and reuse planning.
+
+## Authoring
+
+1. Copy a capability entry template (see reuse-surface `templates/capability-entry.template.md`).
+2. Add the row to `indexes/capabilities.yaml`.
+3. Run `reuse-surface validate` from a checkout with the CLI installed.
+4. Merge to `main` and verify publish with `reuse-surface establish --publish-check`.
+
+Federation contract: reuse-surface `docs/RegistryFederation.md`.

+# Feature Availability Evaluation
+
+## Overview
+
+This capability evaluates whether a feature should be available for a subject in
+a given context. It is the primary implementation-ready example in the sample
+registry and demonstrates a D5/A4/C3/R3 vector.
+
+## Current reuse mode
+
+Consumers can integrate through SDK or service API artifacts in the
+feature-control repository. This is implementation reuse (A4), not just planning
+metadata.
+
+## Comparison notes
+
+Compared with `capability.registry.register`, this entry is far stronger on
+availability and external evidence. Compared with
+`capability.identity.vocabulary-canonicalize`, it is stronger on delivery mode
+and weaker on cross-domain generalization.

+# Feature Rollout Control
+
+## Overview
+
+Rollout governs how availability changes over time and across cohorts. It
+complements evaluation, which answers whether a feature is available for a
+subject in a context right now.
