 ## Install
 
-Download the archive for your operating system and CPU from the
-[latest release](https://github.com/matteing/monarch-cli/releases/latest):
-
-- macOS: `darwin_arm64` (Apple silicon) or `darwin_amd64` (Intel)
-- Linux: `linux_arm64` or `linux_amd64`
-- Windows: `windows_arm64` or `windows_amd64`
-
-Verify the archive against the release's `checksums.txt`, extract it, and move
-`monarch` (`monarch.exe` on Windows) to a directory on `PATH`. Then verify the
-installation:
-
-```sh
-monarch --help
-```

-The release binary is self-contained. Installing Monarch CLI does not require
-Go or `mise`.
-
 Tell Codex or another agent to set this up:
 
 > Install Monarch CLI from `github.com/matteing/monarch-cli`. Review the source,
 > download the archive matching this system from the latest stable GitHub
 > release, verify it against `checksums.txt`, and install the `monarch` binary on
-> `PATH`. Do not install Go or `mise`. Then configure stdio MCP, discover commands
-> with `monarch --help`, and inspect the MCP tools. Create a local skill named
-> **Monarch CLI** with the exact description `Query Monarch Money transactions,
-> accounts, balances, and more.` Keep it read-only. Never handle my credentials;
-> ask me to run `monarch auth login`. Verify with `monarch doctor` without
-> exposing my data.
