Quickstart

This page installs a first skill, shows where it went, and points at what to do next. It assumes mind and git are installed (Install).

1. Meld a source

mind meld jaemk/mind

meld clones the repo, lists the items it offers, and asks whether to install them. Confirm to install all of them, or pick individually. For this repo that is one example skill, hello-mind. It also registers two sources the repo recommends, anthropics/skills and ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills, without installing anything from them.

Any repo that ships agent tooling works the same way:

mind meld owner/repo
mind meld https://gitlab.example.com/team/agent-tools
mind meld ~/dev/my-skills

2. See what is installed

mind recall

recall lists each source with its items, marked installed or available. The skill is now linked at ~/.claude/skills/hello-mind, and Claude Code offers it as /hello-mind.

3. Browse and install more

mind probe

probe opens an interactive browser over every melded source: search, read descriptions, and install or remove items. See Browse in the terminal UI. To install by name instead:

mind learn skill-creator          # one item
mind learn 'anthropics/skills#*'  # every item of one source

4. Keep it current

mind upgrade

upgrade fetches the sources your installed items came from, shows what changed, and asks before applying anything.

Where next

• Install into Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, or Windsurf too: Use more than one agent. mind config lobes detect finds the harnesses on this machine.
• Install only part of a large repo: Choose what a source installs.
• Install a single skill from a GitHub link: Install one item from a link.
• Learn the vocabulary: Core concepts.
• Try mind against a source you can edit: the starter example and the other example sources.
