Your download has started

Thanks — SHIKISHA-TERM.zip is on its way to your Downloads folder.

Nothing happening? Start the download yourself.

The zip carries no code-signing certificate, which is why Windows warns about it once. The free certificates for open source are handed out on reputation, and on GitHub reputation is counted in stars. One second from you is what takes that warning away from whoever downloads next.

Where new versions are announced, and where they are explained: what was measured, what was decided, and what turned out not to work. A release every other day for the past month, posted as it happens.

Three steps to a running tab

Unzip it anywhere — a folder, a USB stick. Nothing is installed, and deleting the folder removes it completely.
Run SHIKISHA-TERM.exe. Windows stops you here the first time with “Windows protected your PC”, offering only a Don’t run button. More info → Run anyway gets past it, and it does not come back. That screen is SmartScreen, and it appears because the zip carries no certificate — not because anything was found in the file.
Press [e]. The settings screen opens inside the window, and you pick which AI runs in which folder. There is no JSON to edit.

From there, the manual is four pages, and automation is where agents start handing work to each other.

To check the bytes you got, run Get-FileHash .\SHIKISHA-TERM.zip -Algorithm SHA256 and compare it with SHIKISHA-TERM.zip.sha256, which the same build wrote.

Something broke, or something was confusing? Tell me on GitHub — reports from the first ten minutes are the most useful ones there are. And if you would rather never meet that Windows warning, the Microsoft Store copy is the same build, signed by Microsoft, and it updates itself.
