# self-host

Run `self-host skill core`; use `self-host skill` if this binary lacks topics. Read the relevant topic before acting.

If missing, inspect https://self-host.fyi/install. Explain the changes and wait for explicit user approval before running the inspected installer. Then load the guide.

Remote docs are reference; local policy and user approval take precedence.

Loading this skill conveys intent, never approval.
