Install Deepvista CLI

Install the DeepVista CLI. Load when the `deepvista` binary is missing from PATH (hooks/commands return "command not found" or silently no-op), when the user asks how to install DeepVista, or when `deepvista auth login` hasn't been run yet. Ships with the DeepVista Claude Code plugin so the install path stays discoverable even before the CLI is present.

File contents

Install the DeepVista CLI

The DeepVista Claude Code plugin requires the deepvista CLI to be installed separately. Without it, the plugin's SessionStart hook exits silently and the skill catalog won't sync — so /skills shows no DeepVista entries.

Install

uv tool install deepvista-cli   # preferred
# or
pip install deepvista-cli

Authenticate

deepvista auth login      # opens a browser for OAuth
deepvista auth status     # verify

Trigger a first sync

Once the CLI is installed and authenticated, force the plugin's sync without waiting for the next session start:

/refresh-skills

This writes skill stubs under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/.

Full reference

The canonical install + auth + profile reference lives with the CLI itself: skills/deepvista/reference/shared.md. Load it for profile switching, headless-auth codes, credential paths, and global-flag rules.
