    A banner prints the seeded test user's email and password. Note them — you'll log in with them in step 3.
 
-2. **Scaffold Ory into your project.** Ask Claude *"add Ory auth to this app"*. The `ory-auth-setup` skill takes over: it installs Ory Elements, wires the SDK, generates the login / registration / recovery / verification / settings pages, and sets up session middleware. It targets the local stack from step 1, so no signup or API key is needed.

It targets the local stack from step 1, so no signup or API key is needed.
 
 3. **Sign in.** Start your app, visit the login page Claude added, and sign in with the seeded credentials. You now have a real Ory session backed by a real Ory stack — locally, offline, with zero configuration.
 
+4. **Turn on Ory login for the Claude session itself.** *(Optional but recommended.)* Out of the box the plugin only governs your *app*. To also attach an Ory identity to *Claude's* session — so every tool call is attributed to you, not a fallback `session:<id>` subject — set:
+
+   ```bash
+   export ORY_AUTH_GATE=1
+   ```
+
+   Then restart Claude. On next session start, Claude opens an Ory login in your browser; sign in with the same seeded credentials from step 1. This is what makes `permissions enforce` (see [Agent security](#agent-security)) deny on the right identity later.
+
 That's the full Ory DX path. Stop here if you're just evaluating the plugin. Continue to [Agent security](#agent-security) when you're ready to enforce.

+The Quickstart uses the local stack. If you have a hosted [Ory Network](https://console.ory.sh) project, point the plugin at it. A project URL is enough — the agent identity is created automatically via OAuth2 Dynamic Client Registration on first run:

 npx -y -p @ory/claude-code ory-claude configure \
-  --project-url https://<id>.projects.oryapis.com \
-  --api-key ory_pat_...

+Config is saved to `~/.config/ory-agent-plugins/config.json` and shared across every Ory agent plugin on the machine. The same settings can be supplied via environment variables (`ORY_PROJECT_URL`, `ORY_AGENT_API_KEY`) — env vars take precedence over the config file when both are set, which is what most CI / scripted setups want.
 
-Without configuration the plugin still loads cleanly and runs in **pass-through mode**: skills and commands work, but nothing is blocked. You can stay in pass-through mode indefinitely if you only want the DX features.

 ## Agent security
 
 Once the plugin is pointed at an Ory project (local or hosted), Claude's session and every tool call can be governed by Ory.
 
 - **Authentication.** Two identities. The human at the keyboard (the **user**) authenticates interactively via Ory Identities when `ORY_AUTH_GATE=1` is set. The Claude process (the **agent**) gets its own OAuth2 identity, self-registered via [Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7591) on first run. Sub-agents launched by the `Task` tool each receive their own typed identity.
-- **Authorization.** Before any tool runs, the plugin checks [Ory Permissions](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto) (Zanzibar-style relation tuples) against the user's subject and blocks the call on `deny`. MCP tool calls additionally get a server-level check.
-- **Audit.** Every decision (allow, deny, fallback) is recorded as a structured trace span: NDJSON file output and/or OTLP/HTTP export to Jaeger, Honeycomb, Grafana, and similar collectors. The user → agent (and agent → subagent) delegation chain is written to Ory as relation tuples so *"agent X acting on behalf of user Y"* stays queryable after tokens expire.
