Globalize Account Setup

The Globalize CLI (@globalize-now/cli-client) lets AI agents manage translation projects, languages, glossaries, style guides, and repository connections on the Globalize platform.

This skill gets the CLI installed and your account authenticated. Once you're signed in, run globalize-now-project-setup to create a translation project and connect your repository.

Follow these steps in order.

Setup Mode

After Step 1 (detection) completes without blockers, ask the user:

How would you like to proceed?

1. Guided — I'll explain each step before and after.
2. Unguided — I'll run all steps without pausing and show a full summary at the end.

Guided mode rules

• Before each step: briefly explain what will happen and why.
• After each step: summarize what changed (files installed, config created, commands run).

Unguided mode rules

• Execute all steps without pausing for per-step explanations.
• Hard stops (e.g., Node.js not found) still halt execution — these are never skipped.
• At the end, produce a summary:

## Account Setup Complete

### What was done
- [x] Step 1: Detect Environment — {Node version, existing auth yes/no}
- [x] Step 2: Install CLI — {npx or global}
- [x] Step 3: Authenticate — {auth method}
- [x] Step 4: Verify — {org name}

### Next steps
- Run `globalize-now-project-setup` to create a translation project and connect this repo.

Step 1: Detect the Environment

Check the following before proceeding:

Signal	How to detect
Node.js	node --version exits 0 and version >= 18. Required for the CLI.
Existing auth	~/.globalize/config.json exists with an apiKey field, or GLOBALIZE_API_KEY env var is set.

Detection outcomes

If Node.js is missing or older than 18: HARD STOP — the CLI requires Node.js >= 18. Ask the user to install or upgrade Node before continuing.

If authentication is already configured (~/.globalize/config.json with an apiKey, or GLOBALIZE_API_KEY set), skip the login flow and go straight to Step 4: Verify to confirm the credentials work.
