Install cosmobar

Install the cosmobar status line and walk the user through setup. cosmobar is a single static Go binary (macOS/Linux). Follow these steps in order.

Steps

Check whether it's already installed. Run command -v cosmobar.
- If found: tell the user cosmobar is already installed, run cosmobar upgrade --check to report whether a newer release exists, and skip to step 5 (offer to configure). Do not re-download.
Install the binary. Run the official installer:
```
curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oleksbard/cosmobar/main/install.sh | sh
```
The user will see the normal Bash permission prompt for this command — that is expected and intentional. Show the installer's output. If the download fails (network error, non-zero exit), report the failure and give the user the same curl … | sh command to run themselves, then stop.
Verify the install. Run cosmobar --version.
- If it prints a version, continue.
- If it reports "command not found", the binary was installed to ~/.local/bin, which is not on the user's PATH. Tell the user to add it (export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" in their shell profile) and, for the next step, use the full path ~/.local/bin/cosmobar.
Initialize. Run cosmobar init (or ~/.local/bin/cosmobar init if it wasn't on PATH). This wires ~/.claude/settings.json, writes a default config to ~/.config/cosmobar/config.toml, and installs the /cosmobar guided-setup skill.
Hand off to guided setup. The /cosmobar skill is now available. Continue directly into the cosmobar guided configuration (discover segments and themes, interview the user, apply) so install and configuration happen in one flow.

Notes

macOS/Linux only.
Everything is reversible: cosmobar uninstall removes the wiring (add --purge to also delete the config and binary).
