Then Ask Claude

After setup, you'll see recommendations like:

Recommended Skills:
  • mvp-builder - For rapid development
  • testing-strategist - Set up tests
  • frontend-builder - Structure your app

Then just ask Claude:

"Use mvp-builder to help me start this project.
The analysis recommended focusing on [the priority tasks shown]."

Claude will know exactly what to do.

Prefer Codex CLI?

Run the dedicated setup script once per machine:

# Connect Codex CLI to the brain
./setup-codex-cli.sh

This adds brain-mcp to Codex CLI and populates .codex/ with quick-start guides and configuration you can copy into your home directory.

Note: Gemini CLI support is planned but not yet available.

Want to confirm everything works? Run node scripts/tests/brain-mcp-smoke.cjs to verify the Brain CLI can execute even on systems without /bin/bash.

---

Post-Setup: Build brain-mcp

Important: After first-time setup, you need to build the brain-mcp MCP server:

cd ~/ai-dev-standards/MCP-SERVERS/brain-mcp
npm install
npm run build

This creates the dist/index.js file that Claude uses for intelligent skill recommendations.

You only need to do this once (or when brain-mcp is updated). The setup script configures everything to point to this location automatically.

---

Troubleshooting

"bash: setup-project.sh: command not found"

First time? Clone ai-dev-standards:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/daffy0208/ai-dev-standards.git
cd /your/project
bash ~/ai-dev-standards/setup-project.sh

"Command not found: ai-dev"

The script installs it automatically. If it fails:

cd ~/ai-dev-standards/CLI
npm install
npm link

"brain-mcp not working in Claude"

Build the brain-mcp MCP server:

cd ~/ai-dev-standards/MCP-SERVERS/brain-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then restart Claude to pick up the changes.

---

That's It

One command. Two minutes. Everything set up.

No configuration needed. The tool figures it all out.
