Setup

Setup Skill: Environment Provisioning

This skill allows MEOW to autonomously install and configure its Level-2 specialists (Claude Code, Aider, and OpenCode) based on the current OS and environment variables.

🔎 Pre-flight Checks

1. Identify OS: Determine if the environment is macOS, Linux, or Windows.
2. Key Discovery:
   • Check local .env for LLM_API_KEY and LLM_BASE_URL.
   • Check process environment for these variables.
   • If missing, ask the user or look for ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.

🛠️ Installation Matrix

1. Claude Code

• Command: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
• Verification: claude --version
• Config: Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the value of LLM_API_KEY.

2. Aider

• Command: pipx install aider-chat (Recommended: Use Python 3.12 for stability)
• Manual Command: pip3.12 install aider-chat
• Verification: aider --version
• Config:
  • Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to LLM_API_KEY.
  • If LLM_BASE_URL is set, configure the specialist to use it as its API base where applicable (e.g., OPENAI_API_BASE).

3. OpenCode

• Command (Mac/Linux): curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
• Command (Alternative): npm install -g opencode-ai
• Verification: opencode --version
• Config: Run opencode /connect or set relevant env vars.

🚀 Execution Procedure

1. Use the run tool to check if each tool is already in the PATH.
2. If missing, use the appropriate package manager (npm, pip, curl) to install.
3. Once installed, verify the installation.
4. Export the necessary environment variables to ensure the specialists are ready for the summon tool.

🚨 Troubleshooting

• If a package manager is missing (e.g., npm or pip), report the blocker to the user.
• If installation fails due to permissions, try sudo if appropriate, but prefer local/user-level installs.
