## What it does

The skill checks capability status with `setup_status`, then helps configure a managed SuperCMO key or provider keys when you ask to use your own. It checks status again afterward; writing a key to a file alone does not confirm that the capability works.

Keys can live in `~/.supercmo/.env`. Shell environment variables and an MCP `env` block also work and take precedence over that file. Image and video generation can use `WAVESPEED_API_KEY` or `FAL_KEY`; voiceover, media analysis, and URL extraction have separate keys. When both image providers are configured, WaveSpeed is selected unless `SUPERCMO_MEDIA_PROVIDER=fal` chooses FAL.

Once the checks pass, the skill offers to configure the brand from its website through `onboarding-user`. Managed-key setup opens a browser for sign-in and device authorization, and credits are purchased in the web app. If `setup_status` is missing and generation fails, the instructions call for reinstalling the package with its MCP server.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill supercmo-setup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/supercmo-setup/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill supercmo-setup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill supercmo-setup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills supercmo-setup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill supercmo-setup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --path skills/supercmo-setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill supercmo-setup -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/supercmo-setup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check which SuperCMO capabilities are ready
- connect a managed SuperCMO key
- configure a key for a specific capability
- identify why a key fails validation
- start brand setup from a website

## Example prompts
- Set up SuperCMO and check which capabilities are ready.
- Help me configure a key for image and video generation.
- Check my keys, then set up my brand from its website.

# Setup

Get the API keys working so SuperCMO can generate, then set up the brand from the user's website.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Check what's set up

Call `setup_status` with `check: true` to see which capabilities already work. It validates any keys that are set and never generates.

Where `setup_status` isn't there at all — the tool doesn't exist yet — the install just ran and the agent hasn't loaded the SuperCMO tools. Ask the user to restart the agent, then try again; only if it's still missing after a restart is it a broken install.

First time through, nothing is set up: go straight to Step 2. Where a working setup is already there, skip to Step 4.

### Step 2: Set up the key

**The managed key is the default** — one command, one key covering every capability, pay per use. Set it up unless the user has specifically asked to bring their own keys; don't raise the bring-your-own route yourself.

```bash
npx --yes @supercmo/skills@0.1.27 login
```

It opens SuperCMO in your browser to sign in and authorize this device; the key is written to `~/.supercmo/.env` automatically. Buy credits in the web app (no card needed to sign in). Run it for the user once they're ready — it needs their sign-in.

**Only when the user asks to bring their own keys**, set those up instead — free, straight to the vendors. Not all five are needed: an image + video key (`WAVESPEED_API_KEY`) is enough to start generating, and voiceover, analysis and website reading can be added when a task calls for them. Ask only for the capabilities they actually want.
