+# statehub register — Consumer Guide
+
+Use this guide when bootstrapping a new Coulomb repository from the `repo-seed`
+template and registering it with Custodian State Hub.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- State Hub API running locally (`cd ~/state-hub && make api`) or reachable via tunnel
+- `statehub` CLI installed from `~/state-hub` (`uv tool install .` or `uv run statehub`)
+- A git repository cloned or copied from `repo-seed` (or an equivalent scaffold)
+
+## Quick start
+
+From the new repository root:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/new-repo
+
+# Optional: skip LLM inference and supply facts manually
+statehub register \
+  --domain <domain-slug> \
+  --repo-slug <repo-slug> \
+  --wp-prefix <PREFIX-WP> \
+  --description "One-sentence repo purpose." \
+  --no-llm
+
+# Operator follow-up (from state-hub checkout)
+cd ~/state-hub
+make fix-consistency REPO=<repo-slug>
+```
+
+`statehub register` is idempotent: existing files are not overwritten unless you
+pass `--force`.
+
+## What register writes
+
+`statehub register` inspects the repository, infers identity (optionally via
+`llm-connect`), and writes these files when absent:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `INTENT.md` | Why the repository exists |
+| `SCOPE.md` | In/out scope and current state |
+| `AGENTS.md` | Codex/Grok agent instructions with repo identity placeholders filled |
+| `.custodian-brief.md` | Offline-safe session orientation |
+| `workplans/<PREFIX>-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md` | First workplan with T01–T03 bootstrap tasks |
+
+It also registers the repo and host path through the State Hub API and records a
+progress milestone.
+
+## Template extras (from repo-seed)
+
+Cloning `repo-seed` provides additional scaffold not written by `register`:
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `CLAUDE.md` + `.claude/rules/` | Claude Code agent instructions |
+| `registry/` | Capability registry scaffold |
+| `README.md`, `LICENSE`, `.gitignore` | Project metadata |
+| `.repo-classification.yaml` | Repo classification metadata |
+
+After `register`, complete the bootstrap workplan (`*-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md`):
+
+1. **T01** — Review and refine generated integration files
+2. **T02** — Document install/test/lint/build/run commands in agent instructions
+3. **T03** — Create the first real implementation workplan
+
+## CLI reference
+
+```
+statehub register [options]
+
+  --path PATH           Repo directory (default: cwd)
+  --domain SLUG         State Hub domain slug
+  --repo-slug SLUG      Repo slug (auto-detected from directory name)
+  --wp-prefix PREFIX    Workplan prefix, e.g. DEMO-WP
+  --description TEXT    One-sentence repo description
+  --intent TEXT         Intent text when INTENT.md is absent
+  --api-base URL        State Hub API base (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)
+  --no-llm              Skip LLM inference; use files and flags
+  --force               Overwrite generated files
+```
+
+Environment overrides: `API_BASE`, `STATEHUB_REGISTER_LLM_PROVIDER`,
+`STATEHUB_REGISTER_LLM_MODEL`, `STATEHUB_REGISTER_LLM_API_KEY`,
+`STATEHUB_REGISTER_LLM_TIMEOUT`.
+
+## fix-consistency
+
+Workplans are canonical in repo files (ADR-001). After creating or updating
+workplan files, sync them into State Hub:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/state-hub
+make fix-consistency REPO=<repo-slug>
+```
+
+This rebuilds hub workstreams/tasks from files, updates `.custodian-brief.md`,
+and reports consistency findings (C-15 file/DB drift, C-16 remote behind, etc.).
+
+## Validation
+
+Use [template-validation-checklist.md](template-validation-checklist.md) to
+verify a bootstrapped repo against expected `statehub register` output.

+# Template Validation Checklist
+
+Validate a repository bootstrapped from `repo-seed` against `statehub register`
+output and Coulomb onboarding conventions.
+
+**Validated:** 2026-06-24 against `statehub register` in `~/state-hub`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Register with State Hub
+
+- [ ] State Hub API is reachable (`curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/health`)
+- [ ] `statehub register` completes without error
+- [ ] Registration prints repo slug, domain, topic ID, and `make fix-consistency` hint
+- [ ] Progress milestone recorded (`Repo registered with State Hub: <slug>`)
+
+## 2. Agent files (register output)
+
+Confirm these files exist and contain repo-specific values (not `{PLACEHOLDER}` tokens):
+
+- [ ] `INTENT.md` — governing purpose; derived from README or `--intent`
+- [ ] `SCOPE.md` — one-liner, in/out scope, current state
+- [ ] `AGENTS.md` — **Purpose**, **Domain**, **Repo slug**, **Topic ID**, **Workplan prefix**
+- [ ] `.custodian-brief.md` — domain, topic ID, bootstrap workplan reference
+
+### AGENTS.md spot checks
+
+- [ ] `**Repo slug:**` matches directory slug and State Hub registration
+- [ ] `**Workplan prefix:**` matches workplan file prefix (e.g. `DEMO-WP-`)
+- [ ] Session protocol references `cat .custodian-brief.md` and inbox curl examples
+- [ ] `make fix-consistency REPO=<slug>` documented for workplan edits
+
+## 3. First workplan
+
+- [ ] `workplans/<PREFIX>-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md` exists
+- [ ] Frontmatter: `id`, `type: workplan`, `status: ready`, `repo`, `domain`
+- [ ] Tasks T01 (review files), T02 (dev workflow), T03 (seed real workplan) present
+- [ ] T03 references `make fix-consistency REPO=<slug>`
+
+## 4. Template extras (repo-seed scaffold)
+
+Beyond register output, confirm template scaffold is present:
+
+- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` includes `@.claude/rules/*` references
+- [ ] `.claude/rules/` contains session-protocol, workplan-convention, stack-and-commands
+- [ ] `registry/README.md` and `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml` exist
+- [ ] `README.md` describes the repository purpose
+- [ ] `.gitignore` and `LICENSE` present
+
+## 5. Bootstrap workplan completion
+
+After register, complete `*-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md`:
+
+- [ ] **T01** — Placeholders replaced; SCOPE refined for repo-specific boundaries
+- [ ] **T02** — `.claude/rules/stack-and-commands.md` lists real dev commands
+- [ ] **T03** — First implementation workplan created (`*-0002-*.md` or equivalent)
+- [ ] Workplan status set to `finished` when all tasks done
+
+## 6. fix-consistency sync
+
+- [ ] `make fix-consistency REPO=<slug>` run from `~/state-hub`
+- [ ] `.custodian-brief.md` updated with active workstreams (replaces register stub)
+- [ ] Hub workstreams/tasks match workplan file statuses
+- [ ] No blocking C-16 (repo behind remote) findings
+
+## 7. Registry (optional)
+
+When the repo exposes reusable behavior:
+
+- [ ] Capability entry in `registry/capabilities/`
+- [ ] Row added to `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
+- [ ] `reuse-surface validate --root .` passes
+
+---
+
+## repo-seed self-validation notes
+
+`repo-seed` is the meta-template and intentionally differs in a few places:
+
+| Item | repo-seed state | Consumer expectation |
+|------|-----------------|----------------------|
+| `INTENT.md` | Absent — `README.md` is canonical intent | Present after `register` |
+| `SCOPE.md` | Refined (no "generated by statehub register" banner) | Generated, then refined in T01 |
+| `.custodian-brief.md` | Maintained by `fix-consistency` | Register stub, then fix-consistency |
+| `REPO-WP-0001` | `finished` | `ready` until bootstrap complete |
+| `REPO-WP-0002` | Template validation (this checklist) | First domain-specific workplan |
+
+All register-output structures were verified by running `write_registration_files`
+from `statehub_register.py` with `repo_slug=repo-seed`, `wp_prefix=REPO-WP`,
+`domain=infotech`.

+
+`repo-seed` is the canonical git template for new Coulomb repositories. Clone it,

+`make fix-consistency`.
+
+See `docs/statehub-register.md` for the consumer workflow and
