+# SourceOS Albert plugin
+
+This plugin adds **keyboard-first SourceOS workstation actions** to Albert.
+
+Design goals:
+
+- Treat Albert as an **action bus** (command palette), not as a second filesystem index.
+- Keep actions auditable and compatible with SourceOS execution boundaries.
+
+## Trigger
+
+Default trigger: `sourceos `
+
+## Actions (v0)
+
+- `doctor` → runs `sourceos doctor workstation-v0`
+- `profile apply` → runs `sourceos profile apply workstation-v0`
+- `k9s` → launches `k9s`
+- `lazygit` → launches `lazygit`
+
+## Notes
+
+- This plugin assumes the `sourceos` CLI is installed on PATH (installed by workstation profile tooling).
+- A future iteration will add richer parameterization and optional GNOME portal gating.
