co-scientist-install

Goal:

• Explain or execute the project-local Co-Scientist skill installation flow for Claude Code users.

Expected input:

• no arguments for the standard install path
• or a user request to reconcile or uninstall the project-local install

Execution steps:

1. If the user wants a fresh install, tell them to run one of:

   uv quick install:

   uv sync --extra dev --extra mcp
   pnpm --dir apps/dashboard install
   pnpm --dir apps/dashboard build
   powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1
   

   conda / pip path:

   conda create -n co-scientist python=3.12 -y
   conda activate co-scientist
   python -m pip install -e ".[dev,mcp]"
   pnpm --dir apps/dashboard install
   pnpm --dir apps/dashboard build
   powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1
   

   bash tools/install/install_co_scientist.sh
   

2. If the user wants to refresh an existing project-local install, use:

   powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1 -Reconcile
   

3. If the user wants to remove the managed project-local install, use:

   powershell -File tools/install/install_co_scientist.ps1 -Uninstall
   

4. After install or reconcile, recommend:

   uv run python -m tools.host.project_cli doctor
   

5. Return a short summary of:

   • what command to run
   • what files should appear (.claude/skills/, .co-scientist/installed-skills.json)
   • how to validate the environment with doctor

Rules:

• Treat skills/ as canonical and .claude/skills/ as the project-local Claude Code mirror.
• Do not ask the user to edit CLAUDE.md; the installer manages its own project-local surface.
• Prefer doctor after installation instead of assuming the environment is ready.
