Setup

Claude Code Setup

Use this skill when the user wants to verify Claude Code readiness or toggle the review gate.

Resolve <plugin-root> as two directories above this SKILL.md file. Always run the companion from that active plugin root.

Supported arguments:

• --enable-review-gate
• --disable-review-gate

Workflow:

• First run the machine-readable probe: node "<plugin-root>/scripts/claude-companion.mjs" setup --json $ARGUMENTS
• If it reports that Claude Code is unavailable and npm is available, ask whether to install Claude Code now.
• If the user agrees, run npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code and rerun setup.
• If Claude Code is already installed or npm is unavailable, do not ask about installation.
• If setup reports missing native plugin hook features or hook trust, rerun setup once. The companion repairs [features].hooks, [features].plugin_hooks, and this plugin's native hook trust hashes itself.
• After the decision flow is complete, run the final user-facing command without --json: node "<plugin-root>/scripts/claude-companion.mjs" setup $ARGUMENTS

Output:

• Present the final non-JSON setup output exactly as returned by the companion.
• Use the JSON form only for branching logic such as install or auth decisions.
• Preserve any authentication guidance if setup reports that login is still required.
