Now that Magpie can be installed from agent marketplaces (#907), "install" is the more familiar term than "adopt." This makes install/uninstall the primary command surface, with adopt/unadopt kept as aliases (nothing breaks for anyone using them).

Changes

  • /magpie-setup install — first-time install (the default no-arg action); /magpie-setup adopt is a documented alias.
  • /magpie-setup uninstall — reverses it; /magpie-setup unadopt is a documented alias.
  • Renamed skills/setup/adopt.mdinstall.md, skills/setup/unadopt.mduninstall.md, and docs/setup/unadopt.mduninstall.md; all path references repointed.
  • Updated the skill's argument-hint, sub-action list, and command table.

Deliberately kept

  • The "adopter" / "adopter repo" noun (the ecosystem role) — unchanged.
  • The "Adopt a Magpie" landing-page slogan.
  • Deep internal prose still uses "adopt" informally (a valid alias) — the full verb reword is PR B (follow-up).

Scope: command surface + file renames only. Part of the adoption→installation terminology shift discussed on the list.

Reviewed the full diff (24 files), CI, and the current state of main. This is a clean, backward-compatible terminology refactor — nicely done. Verified that every file on main referencing adopt.md / unadopt.md is repointed here, so the rename leaves no dangling links, and the renames preserve history. CI is all green.

Two things before merge:

  1. Rebase needed — the PR is currently conflicting. main has moved since this branched: #902 (Codex CLI runtime) edited adopt.md and unadopt.md after the branch point, which creates a rename/edit conflict. The good news is #902 added no new references to the old filenames elsewhere, so the rebase is just folding its content edits into the renamed install.md / uninstall.md.

  2. Consistency nit in skills/setup/SKILL.md. The line

    Main-checkout-only sub-actions (adopt, upgrade, unadopt) …

    still names the old primaries. It's harmless (they're valid aliases), but for consistency with making install/uninstall primary it'd read better as install, upgrade, uninstall.

Process checks (per AGENTS.md): since this touches skills, worth confirming the setup eval suite still passes (a pure rename shouldn't move behavior, but the rule asks for it) and that tools/spec-loop/.last-sync is current before pushing the rebase.

Nothing blocking on the substance — LGTM once rebased and the SKILL.md line is updated.

Now that Magpie can be installed from agent marketplaces, 'install' is the
more familiar term than 'adopt'. Make it the primary command surface:

- /magpie-setup install (default, no-arg) is first-time install; 'adopt' is
  a documented alias.
- /magpie-setup uninstall reverses it; 'unadopt' is a documented alias.
- Rename adopt.md -> install.md, unadopt.md -> uninstall.md (skills + docs);
  repoint all path references.
- Keep the 'adopter'/'adopter repo' noun and the 'Adopt a Magpie' slogan.

Command surface only (PR A). The wider docs/skills prose reword of the
adopt->install verb is a separate follow-up (PR B).
…' for the mechanism

Per the terminology model: a project *adopts* Magpie (the relationship);
the *installation* is the process/mechanism. Restores 'Adopt and maintain
... via the snapshot-based installation mechanism' in the skill description;
the install/uninstall command names and adopt/unadopt aliases are unchanged.
…s install

- Reword process-y 'adoption/adopt flow' phrases to 'install/installation'
  where they describe the mechanism (the adopt/install flow, first-time
  install, during installation, install recipe/instructions, uninstall flow),
  and prefer '/magpie-setup install' in how-to steps. Relationship/noun uses
  ('adopter', 'adopter repo', 'a project adopts Magpie', 'adoption model')
  and the adopt/unadopt aliases are left untouched.
- Add an 'Adoption vs. installation' note to docs/setup/README.md: a project
  ADOPTS Magpie (relationship); INSTALLATION is the process (adopt = alias).
