Quick Start

1. Install

npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/codealive-skills@codealive-context-engine

Or copy the skill folder manually into your agent's skills directory:

Agent	Project scope	User scope
Claude Code	.claude/skills/	~/.claude/skills/
Cursor	.cursor/skills/	~/.cursor/skills/
GitHub Copilot	.github/skills/	~/.copilot/skills/
Windsurf	.windsurf/skills/	~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/
Gemini CLI	.gemini/skills/	~/.gemini/skills/
Codex	.codex/skills/	~/.codex/skills/
Goose	.goose/skills/	~/.config/goose/skills/
Amp	.agents/skills/	~/.config/agents/skills/
Roo Code	.roo/skills/	~/.roo/skills/
OpenCode	.opencode/skill/	~/.config/opencode/skill/

2. Set up

python setup.py

The interactive setup will ask for your API key, verify it, and store it securely in your OS credential store.

API Key Storage

The setup script (and the skill at runtime) resolves the API key in this order:

1. CODEALIVE_API_KEY environment variable
2. OS credential store:

Platform	Store	How to save manually
macOS	Keychain	security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "codealive-api-key" -w "KEY"
Linux	freedesktop Secret Service	secret-tool store --label="CodeAlive API Key" service codealive-api-key
Windows	Credential Manager	cmdkey /generic:codealive-api-key /user:codealive /pass:"KEY"

The key is stored once and shared across all agents on the same machine — no need to configure each agent separately.

Self-hosted instance: set CODEALIVE_BASE_URL env var to your instance URL.

3. Use

Start your agent and ask naturally:

• "How is authentication implemented?"
• "Show me error handling patterns across services"
• "Find similar features to guide my implementation"

No special commands needed — the agent picks up the skill automatically.
