Install

Skill Wiki is a set of bun-runnable TypeScript packages. The CLI handles compile / publish / install; the MCP server exposes the compiled corpus to your agent.

Requirements

Node 22+ (nodejs.org)
Bun 1.3+ required for the CLI and MCP server (bun.sh)
An MCP-capable client (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Aider, …)

Install the CLI

# Bun (recommended)
bun add -g @skill-wiki/cli

# Or npm
npm install -g @skill-wiki/cli

# Verify
prime --version
# → prime 0.1.0

From source: if you prefer building from source, clone github.com/skill-wiki/prime-system, then bun install && bun link && bun link @skill-wiki/cli.

Install a Prime from the marketplace

# The flagship Prime — frontend-design
git clone https://github.com/skill-wiki/prime-corpus-frontend.git

# A minimal example ships inside the prime-system repo
cd prime-system/examples/hello-world

Boot the MCP server

The server entry is a bun-runnable TypeScript file inside the cloned repo.

# Generic 1-tool server (any compiled corpus)
PRIME_DIR=/abs/path/to/compiled \
  bun /abs/path/to/prime-system/packages/mcp-server-core/src/index.ts

# Frontend 5-tool server (frontend-design corpus)
PRIME_DIR=/abs/path/to/prime-corpus-frontend/compiled-v3-final \
  bun /abs/path/to/prime-corpus-frontend/app/mcp-server-frontend/index.ts

For wiring into Claude Code / Cursor / Desktop, see the MCP setup page.

Verify the install

# Compile and inspect the bundled hello-world example
cd prime-system/examples/hello-world
prime compile

# List atoms
prime list
# → @hello-world/method-make-tea         method
# → @hello-world/term-celsius            term
# → @hello-world/fact-water-boils-at-100c fact
# → @hello-world/rule-altitude-affects-boiling rule
