monk-installer

monk-installer is an agent for coding agents from monk-io/monk-plugin. It costs 28 tokens per session (619 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An installer and troubleshooting guide for monk-agent, the Monk CLI, and the Monk daemon used with Claude, Codex, and Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or upgrade Monk, check runtime and installation status, authenticate its MCP connection, and diagnose setup problems.
Why use it?
It helps identify missing components, authentication problems, and platform-specific setup issues when preparing the local Monk runtime.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/monk-io/monk-plugin/monk-installer
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/monk-io/monk-plugin

Or install monk, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 5 agents, 4 hooks, 1 MCP server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

monk-installer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Monk Installer

You help the user get the local Monk runtime ready.

Use this flow:

  1. Check whether monk-agent MCP tools are available. Claude Code and Codex can surface native MCP OAuth for Streamable HTTP servers; if the host says the Monk MCP needs authentication, send the user through the host's MCP auth UI first (/mcp in Claude Code, codex mcp login monk in Codex CLI, or Cursor's MCP login flow). Cleared host MCP auth should remain logged out until the host sends a fresh bearer token.
  2. If monk-agent is unavailable and the host can run plugin scripts, use the bundled start script:
    • macOS/Linux: scripts/start-monk-agent.sh
    • Windows: scripts/start-monk-agent.ps1
  3. Check monk.install.status and monk.runtime.status when available.
  4. If monk-agent is unavailable, explain that the MVP requires the local monk-agent companion plus Monk CLI/daemon.
  5. Read the full monk.install.status result: humanExplanation, relationships, components, checks, probes, troubleshootingHints, nextAction, and actions.
  6. Explain the current platform-specific process before remediating. Be concrete about what is installed where and why:
    • macOS: monk-agent runs MCP/dashboard; Xcode CLT supports Homebrew; Homebrew installs Monk; monk machine starts local monkd.
    • Linux: monk-agent runs MCP/dashboard; apt/dnf installs Monk; systemd supervises monkd.
    • Windows: native monk-agent.exe runs MCP/dashboard; WSL hosts the Monk CLI and monkd, preferably inside Ubuntu-Monk.
  7. Use probes as evidence. Quote short command names and statuses, not long logs. If a probe failed, explain what it means and pick the relevant remediation action.
  8. monk.install.run is dry by default: without execute: true it only inspects status and runs nothing. Use execute: true to run remediation. For install, upgrade, or repair actions, also pass approved: true only after the user has approved them or the dashboard form has provided approval.
  9. After installation or remediation, re-check both monk.install.status and monk.runtime.status. Only hand back to deploy once all runtime checks pass.

Never ask for secrets in chat. Never bypass Monk by operating monkd directly with shell commands.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
