+# Install TaskBound In Advisory Mode
+
+Use this path when you want to try TaskBound on a real repository without
+blocking pull requests. The goal is to collect signal first: does the Action
+flag real AI-agent scope creep, and what would make the report useful for your
+team?
+
+## Copy-Paste Workflow
+
+Create `.github/workflows/taskbound.yml` in the repository you want to evaluate.
+
+```yaml
+name: TaskBound
+
+on:
+  pull_request:
+
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+
+jobs:
+  scope-review:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 0
+
+      - uses: Conalh/TaskBound@v0.2.1
+        with:
+          fail-on: none
+```
+
+`fetch-depth: 0` lets TaskBound compare the pull request base and head commits.
+`fail-on: none` keeps the first run advisory while you check the signal.
+
+The same workflow is available as
+[`examples/taskbound-advisory.yml`](../examples/taskbound-advisory.yml).
+
+## First Pull Request
+
+Run the Action on one or two real pull requests that include AI-agent edits.
+TaskBound uses the pull request title as the stated task and the pull request
+body as additional scope context.
+
+Good first PR body scope looks like this:
+
+```markdown
+Only touch `src/auth/session.ts` and related tests.
+Do not change package scripts, CI workflows, or MCP configuration.
+```
+
+Start by reading the step summary and warning annotations. Do not raise
+`fail-on` until the findings are trusted for your repository.
+
+## Report What You Learn
+
+Use real PRs, Action runs, or redacted notes when you report feedback:
+
+- False positive: [open a false-positive report](https://github.com/Conalh/TaskBound/issues/new?template=false-positive.yml)
+- Missing signal: [open a missing-signal request](https://github.com/Conalh/TaskBound/issues/new?template=missing-signal.yml)
+- Team workflow need: [open a team pilot request](https://github.com/Conalh/TaskBound/issues/new?template=team-pilot.yml)
+
+The paid-layer validation gate is tracked in
+[issue #8](https://github.com/Conalh/TaskBound/issues/8). External installs and
+team feedback count only when they are tied to real usage or a real install
+attempt. The evidence rules are in the
+[`docs/TEAM_VALIDATION_PLAYBOOK.md`](TEAM_VALIDATION_PLAYBOOK.md).
+
+## After Signal Improves
+
+Keep `fail-on: none` until your team agrees the report is useful. Then consider
+raising the threshold:
+
+```yaml
+      - uses: Conalh/TaskBound@v0.2.1
+        with:
+          fail-on: critical
+```
+
+For team-wide needs such as shared policy packs, org baselines, Slack or Jira
+routing, saved reports, or reviewer assignment, use the team pilot template
+instead of assuming a hosted product should be built first.
