maker-setup — Claude Code command: setup and installation
This command prepares a Code-with-Claude Cardputer-Adv by fetching the build repository, flashing firmware, and installing the Claude Buddy apps.
/plugin install cwc-makers@claude-plugins-officialWhat maker-setup does
maker-setup places the build-with-claude repository in a build-with-claude/ directory under the current working directory. When git is available, it clones the repository or pulls an existing copy. Without git, it uses the supplied GitHub archive commands with curl and tar, including a PowerShell variant for Windows.
The command then invokes the m5-onboard skill and runs onboard/scripts/onboard.py --apps buddy from inside build-with-claude/. That flow flashes the firmware, installs the Claude Buddy apps, and presents the download-mode button prompt. The Cardputer-Adv must be connected over USB-C, or onboarding cannot run. A later /maker-setup run downloads about 500KB again rather than using a separate update mechanism.

The user has a Cardputer-Adv from claude.com/cwc-makers plugged in over USB-C.
1. Get https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude into a `build-with-claude/` directory under cwd:
- If `git` is available: `git clone` (or `git pull` if it already exists).
- If `git` is **not** available: don't install it. Download the GitHub tarball instead — `curl` and `tar` ship with macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+ out of the box:
- macOS / Linux: `curl -L https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz | tar xz && mv build-with-claude-main build-with-claude`
- Windows (PowerShell): `curl.exe -L -o bwc.zip https://github.com/moremas/build-with-claude/archive/refs/heads/main.zip; tar -xf bwc.zip; Rename-Item build-with-claude-main build-with-claude`
- Re-running `/maker-setup` later just re-downloads (~500KB) — no update mechanism needed.
2. Invoke the `m5-onboard` skill and follow it to run `onboard/scripts/onboard.py --apps buddy` from inside `build-with-claude/`, surfacing the download-mode button prompt to the user.
3. When done, tell the user how to launch Claude Buddy and ask what they want to build next (see the `cardputer-buddy` skill for iterating).
