Installation
Install the AIBlueprint CLI and run it for the first time.
The AIBlueprint CLI runs with Node.js. You do not need to install it globally -
npx aiblueprint-cli@latest selects the latest published version.
Run without installing
Terminal
npx aiblueprint-cli@latest agents setup
This is the recommended way to use the CLI. You always get the newest agents, skills, and defaults.
Requirements
| Tool | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js 16+ | Yes | Runs the CLI. |
| Bun | Optional | Powers the statusline. Auto-installed when needed. |
| ccusage | Optional | Tracks token usage and cost. Auto-installed when needed. |
Platform support
- macOS - Full support. Shell shortcuts are written to
~/.zshenv. - Linux - Full support. Detects bash or zsh and updates the right file.
- Windows - Limited support. The terminal setup recommends WSL; shell shortcuts are written to your PowerShell profile.
Where files are installed
By default the CLI writes to your home directory:
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
~/.claude | Claude Code settings, scripts, and statusline. |
~/.codex | Codex config, hooks, and rendered agents. |
~/.agents | Shared skills and agents used by every tool. |
You can override the root with --folder, or each tool individually:
Terminal
npx aiblueprint-cli@latest agents setup --folder ~/my-config
npx aiblueprint-cli@latest agents setup --claudeCodeFolder ~/.claude --codexFolder ~/.codex
