Installation & Setup

Quick Reference

• Time: ~2 minutes
• Prerequisites: Claude Code CLI (or another supported AI platform)
• Difficulty: Beginner

Method 1: Claude Code (Recommended)

Cody Master installs as a Claude Code plugin bundle — no npm, no separate server, nothing to maintain.

Step 1: Add the Marketplace

Open your terminal and run:

claude plugin marketplace add tody-agent/codymaster

Step 2: Install All 33 Skills

One command installs everything:

claude plugin install cm@codymaster

All 33 skills ship as a single plugin:

Domain	Skills
🔧 Engineering	cm-tdd, cm-debugging, cm-quality-gate, cm-test-gate, cm-code-review
⚙️ Operations	cm-safe-deploy, cm-identity-guard, cm-git-worktrees, cm-terminal, cm-secret-shield, cm-safe-i18n
🎨 Product	cm-planning, cm-brainstorm-idea, cm-ux-master, cm-ui-preview, cm-dockit, cm-readit, cm-project-bootstrap, cm-jtbd
📈 Growth	cm-content-factory, cm-ads-tracker, cro-methodology
🎯 Orchestration	cm-execution, cm-continuity, cm-skill-chain, cm-skill-index, cm-skill-mastery, cm-deep-search, cm-how-it-work
🖥️ Workflow	cm-start, cm-dashboard, cm-status

Step 3: Verify

claude plugin list

You should see cody-master listed as installed.

One-Liner Alternative

If you prefer to see all commands at once without navigating menus:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tody-agent/codymaster/main/install.sh) --claude

Method 2: Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/tody-agent/codymaster

To update later:

gemini extensions update cody-master

---

Method 3: Cursor

In Cursor Agent chat, run:

/add-plugin cody-master

Or search for cody-master in the Cursor plugin marketplace.

---

Method 4: Codex

Tell Codex:

Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tody-agent/codymaster/main/.codex/INSTALL.md

---

Method 5: Manual / Any Platform

Clone the repo and copy skills directly:

# Clone once
git clone https://github.com/tody-agent/codymaster.git ~/.cody-master

# Copy to your platform's skills directory
cp -r ~/.cody-master/skills/* ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/    # Gemini
cp -r ~/.cody-master/skills/* .gemini/skills/                  # Project-local
cp -r ~/.cody-master/skills/* .cursor/skills/                  # Cursor
cp -r ~/.cody-master/skills/* .codex/skills/                   # Codex
cp -r ~/.cody-master/skills/* .opencode/skills/                # OpenCode

First Steps After Installation

Run the interactive onboarding tour — it takes ~2 minutes and shows every skill:

/cm:demo

Then use any command by name:

Command	What it does
/cm:plan	Brainstorm + architecture + task plan
/cm:build	TDD implementation (red → green → refactor)
/cm:debug	4-phase root cause analysis
/cm:review	Code review + quality gate
/cm:deploy	Safe multi-gate deployment
/cm:ux	UX design + prototyping
/cm:content	AI content factory
/cm:bootstrap	New project setup

Skills also activate automatically when relevant — just describe what you want and the right skill engages.

Updating

# Claude Code
claude plugin update cody-master@cody-master

# Gemini CLI
gemini extensions update cody-master

Troubleshooting

❌ "Plugin not found" or marketplace error

Make sure your Claude Code CLI is up to date:

claude --version
# Should be 1.0 or later

Then retry:

claude plugin marketplace add tody-agent/codymaster

❌ Skill not activating

Try invoking explicitly:

Use the cm-planning skill for this task

Check that the plugin is installed:

claude plugin list

❌ curl installer not working

Download and inspect the script manually:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tody-agent/codymaster/main/install.sh -o install.sh
bash install.sh --claude
