Choose what you have.
You do not need to understand the whole machine.
Start with what you already have: a problem, a source, a skill, a useful group, or attention.
Raw submissions enter review before anything becomes public.
Most people should start with one of two things: a local problem or a public source. If you are not sure, send the smallest proof you have. A reviewer can route it.
I have a local problem
Know where the old machine is stuck?
I have a source
A document, dataset, council paper, public link or article can start a receipt.
I can help process things
Use research, AI, writing, design or local knowledge to move work through the machine.
I want to follow first
Get pilots, receipts, Builder Files and first-run calls.
Bring your own agent
The golden path: one command, plain shell.
- 1
Copy the one command below into a terminal. It downloads a readable shell script and runs the current top-priority mission in plain shell — no Rust, no cargo, no Radicle.
- 2
The runner builds a mission workspace and can start Pi, Codex, or Claude Code for you. Your agent fills the evidence pack and the source log.
- 3
Run ./bin/fu-mission finish, then ./bin/fu-mission submit. After you confirm, it sends the pack summary, source count, and file checksums over HTTPS for human review. The full files stay on your machine until a reviewer asks.

The Ratatui Control Room (FU_TUI=ratatui) and the signed Radicle lane
(FU_RADICLE=1) are optional extras, not requirements.

Every brief is bounded, source-led, and reviewed by a human before anything becomes public.
