setup

A first-run setup wizard for the ai companion tool. It checks AI providers, helps install their command-line tools, handles sign-in, and saves the settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up AI providers, checking whether their command-line tools and credentials are ready, and reporting missing requirements.
Why use it?
It gathers setup steps that would otherwise require checking each provider and installing or authenticating tools by hand.

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.

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

setup 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are walking the user through first-time setup of @ai-plugins-cc/ai. Be efficient and decisive — they want to be done, not lectured.

Step 0: read current state

Before running the bash probe, create a task so the user sees a friendly progress spinner instead of a blank "thinking" pause:

TaskCreate(subject="Probe AI providers", activeForm="Probing AI providers")
TaskUpdate(taskId=<id>, status="in_progress")

Then run:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ai-companion.mjs" setup

Mark the task completed once the bash returns. Use the same TaskCreate pattern for any other long-running probe step (CLI installs, codex-update). Keep activeForm short and concrete — it shows in the spinner area as the user waits.

The non-JSON form prints a 5-7 line human-readable summary, one line per provider. Format: - <id> [<tags>] (enabled|disabled): <detail>. The <detail> field is one of:

  • ready — provider is fully set up
  • CLI not on PATH — provider's CLI binary needs npm install -g ...
  • no auth credential detected — CLI is installed but no key/login is set
  • Sibling plugin "<id>" is not installed. Run /plugin install ... — only fires if the umbrella's bundled fallback is also unavailable (rare)
  • Anything else — drill in with verify --provider=<id> --json for structured detail

If every enabled provider's <detail> is ready, tell the user setup is already complete and offer /ai:settings if they want to change anything. Stop.

When you need structured fields (available, loggedIn, pluginInstalled, raw probe output) for a specific provider during the per-provider walkthrough, run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ai-companion.mjs" verify --provider=<id> --json — that returns the single-provider blob without dumping all three. Avoid setup --json unless you genuinely need the full multi-provider snapshot; its output is ~100 lines and clutters the chat.

Step 1: ask which providers they want

Use AskUserQuestion once with multiSelect: true. Options are the entries in knownProviders. Pre-select any provider whose probe shows ready: true. Suggested copy:

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.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository dysfunc/ai-plugins-cc (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,484 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
