Recover Credentials

Use this skill when the user has lost their AxonFlow plugin credentials — typically because ~/.config/axonflow/try-registration.json is missing, unreadable, or bound to an account they no longer want to use — and needs to recover access via the email the tenant was originally registered with.

The flow is implemented in scripts/recover-credentials.sh (a shell helper the user invokes from a terminal). Cursor itself does not run plugin code in a long-lived process and cannot prompt the user for an email + magic-link token from its chat UI — running the script in the integrated terminal is the right surface.

What to do

1. Tell the user what's about to happen: "I'll run scripts/recover-credentials.sh in your terminal. It will ask for the email you registered with, send a magic link, then ask you to paste the token from the link."
2. Invoke the script via the Shell tool: bash scripts/recover-credentials.sh (run from the plugin's install directory, typically ~/.cursor/plugins/local/axonflow-cursor-plugin).
3. The script writes the recovered credentials to ~/.config/axonflow/try-registration.json (mode 0600). The community-saas bootstrap picks them up on the next governed tool call — no shell re-export, no Cursor reload required.

What this skill does NOT do

• It does not create a new account from scratch — that path is automatic via the community-saas bootstrap when neither AXONFLOW_ENDPOINT nor AXONFLOW_AUTH is set.
• It does not move credentials between machines — recovery is per-email, not per-host. To set up a new machine for the same tenant, run recovery there too.
• It does not recover Pro license tokens (AXONFLOW_LICENSE_TOKEN) — those are the buyer's responsibility, delivered to the email at Stripe checkout. If the Pro user lost their license token, they recover it from the original from=billing@getaxonflow.com email rather than this flow.

When to suggest it

Suggest this skill when the user reports any of:

• "I'm getting AxonFlow auth errors and I don't know my credentials"
• "I deleted ~/.config/axonflow"
• "I switched to a new laptop and the plugin won't auth"
• "The plugin says my credentials file has unsafe permissions"

Do NOT suggest it for:

• "What is my AxonFlow tenant ID?" — point them at cat ~/.config/axonflow/try-registration.json | jq .tenant_id instead.
• "I want to upgrade to Pro" — point them at the Stripe checkout surface; recovery is for free-tier credential loss only.
