## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install cwc-makers@claude-plugins-official
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/maker-setup.md` — Call it with /maker-setup. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/maker-setup.md` — Call it with /prompts:maker-setup. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/maker-setup.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/maker-setup.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/tree/HEAD/plugins/cwc-makers/commands/maker-setup.md

description: Onboard a Code-with-Claude Makers Cardputer — fetch the build-with-claude repo, flash firmware, and install the Claude Buddy apps.

---

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).
