 keep some ideas from, and the overall workflow is about the same. I'm trying a
 CLI over MCP because MCP seems quite protocol-heavy for what _could_ just be a
 few simple CLI invocations. Maybe connecting arbitrary data sources warrants a
 whole protocol like MCP, but I don't think something as basic as this does. Just
 some thoughtful design and prompting.
 
+## Installation
+
+You need both the binary and the prompt.
+
+### The binary
+
+- Using [bin](https://github.com/marcosnils/bin) (highly recommended
+  because of centralised management/updates for statically-linked CLI tools like
+  this)
+  ```bash
+  bin install goinstall://git.secluded.site/np@latest
+  ```
+- Using the [go toolchain](https://go.dev/dl) (requires
+  tracking updates manually)
+  ```bash
+  go install git.secluded.site/np@latest
+  ```
+
+### The prompt
+
+- Using `bin`
+  ```markdown
+  IMPORTANT: Instead of any built-in todo tools you may have available, stick with `np` unless I say otherwise. Try to use it, but if it's not in my PATH, ask me to install it by running `bin install goinstall://git.secluded.site/np@latest`. Start a session with `np s` and it'll guide you from there.
+  ```
+- Using `go install`
+  ```markdown
