Setup Guide

Choose how you'd like to set up the Vibe9 publishing skill

🤖

AI-Guided Setup (Recommended)

Let your AI assistant walk you through the setup process. Just copy this prompt and paste it into your AI coding tool:

I want to set up the Vibe9.net publishing skill.

My OS: [Windows / macOS / Linux]
My AI tool: [Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf / Other]

IMPORTANT - You MUST fetch and read these files before proceeding:
1. https://vibe9.net/skill/setup/os/{windows|macos|linux}.txt - EXACT commands for my OS
2. https://vibe9.net/skill/SKILL.md - The skill file to install

Setup steps:
1. Confirm I have a Vibe9 account (need one for API token from https://vibe9.net/profile/api-token.php)
2. Read my OS-specific file above for the exact environment variable commands
3. Show me the command to run MYSELF to set VIBE9_API_TOKEN (do NOT ask me to paste my token to you)
4. After I confirm the variable is set, install the skill file to the correct location
5. Test with: curl https://vibe9.net/api/test-token.php -H "X-API-Token: $VIBE9_API_TOKEN"
6. On success, show me the cheat sheet: https://vibe9.net/skill/cheatsheet.php

Your AI will guide you through each step interactively based on your specific setup.

Or Set Up Manually

Note: Manual setup instructions below are currently written for Claude Code only. For other AI tools (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), we recommend using the AI-guided setup above — your AI assistant will adapt the instructions for your specific tool.
