Get started with Athene
Athene is a set of connected skills, not a single tool — install the ones you want, and each one knows when to hand off to the next. This section covers what each skill does, how the pieces fit together, and the model underneath all of them: real evidence before a decision, real files for governance, and a state file that remembers where you left off.
