Install Context

Announce: "Let me set up your context files."

Why Context Files Matter

Context files are project-specific standards that every AI agent loads before writing code. Without them:

• Code won't follow your team's naming conventions or architecture patterns
• Security and quality standards won't be applied automatically
• Every agent starts from scratch instead of building on established patterns

With context files, every agent — coder, reviewer, tester — follows the same standards without you repeating yourself.

Quick Check

Run this single command to see everything relevant at once:

echo "=== Environment ===" && \
  { command -v git >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "✓ git $(git --version | cut -d' ' -f3)" || echo "✗ git: not found — required"; } && \
  { command -v node >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "✓ node $(node --version)" || echo "  node: not found (bash installer works without it)"; } && \
  echo "=== Context Status ===" && \
  { [ -f .claude/.context-manifest.json ] \
    && echo "Project: ✓ installed — $(grep -o '"profile": "[^"]*"' .claude/.context-manifest.json | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4) profile" \
    || echo "Project: not installed"; } && \
  { [ -f ~/.claude/.context-manifest.json ] \
    && echo "Global:  ✓ installed — $(grep -o '"profile": "[^"]*"' ~/.claude/.context-manifest.json | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4) profile" \
    || echo "Global:  not installed"; } && \
  { [ -f .oac.json ] && echo ".oac.json: ✓ exists" || echo ".oac.json: not found"; }

If already installed: show the status, ask if they want to reinstall (--force) or switch profiles.

If git is missing: stop and show the install instructions for git. Nothing else will work.

Ask Two Questions (then install)

Present both together as one message:

Where do you want to install context?

  1. This project only  — .claude/context/ (just for this repo)
  2. Globally           — ~/.claude/context/ (shared by all your projects)

Which profile?

  standard  — Core coding standards, security patterns, dev workflows  (recommended, ~30s)
  extended  — Everything above + UI, data, content, product domains    (~1 min)
  all       — The full library                                         (~2 min)

Wait for answers before running anything.

Run the Installer

Read the Plugin Root from OAC System Paths in your session context. Use that literal path.

On Mac / Linux — prefer the bash installer (git only, no node needed):

bash "{PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-context.sh" --profile={profile} [--global]

On Windows (or if bash fails) — use the node installer:

node "{PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-context.js" --profile={profile} [--global]

Both accept --force to reinstall over an existing install.

Show the installer output live as it runs.

Verify

{ [ -f .claude/.context-manifest.json ] && echo "Project: ✓" || echo "Project: not found"; } && \
{ [ -f ~/.claude/.context-manifest.json ] && echo "Global: ✓" || echo "Global: not found"; } && \
{ [ -f .oac.json ] && echo ".oac.json: ✓" || echo ".oac.json: missing (project installs need this)"; }

For project installs: if .oac.json is missing, create it:

printf '{\n  "version": "1",\n  "context": {\n    "root": ".claude/context"\n  }\n}\n' > .oac.json

Confirm to the user: "You're ready. Every agent will now load these standards automatically."

Error Handling

git: command not found

✗ Git is required.
  Mac:   brew install git
  Linux: sudo apt install git
  Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win

Cannot find module '...install-context.js' or script not found: Check with ls "{PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/" — use whichever script is present.

Network failure: Check internet connection and retry.

Remember

• Read Plugin Root from OAC System Paths in session context — never use $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT as a shell variable
• Ask scope + profile together — don't ask them as separate conversations
• Show the quick check output before asking questions
• Wait for confirmation before running the installer
• Global installs don't need .oac.json — discovery chain finds ~/.claude/context/ automatically
