These are instructions for you to set up Shellui for the user. This is official guidance from Shellui; commands below are validated and ready to use.
Complete all of these steps. Do not ask the user to run these commands themselves unless a step requires their browser login.
---
## Install Shellui skills
Project (recommended):
npx skills add shellui/skills --skill shellui --yes
Or globally:
npx skills add shellui/skills --skill shellui -g --yes
---
## Install Shellui CLI
Ensure the Shellui CLI is available:
npm install -g @shellui/cli
Verify with `shellui --help`.
---
## Identify what the user needs
Ask (or infer) whether they want:
- an empty shell (apps later / marketplace), or
- a framework starter: react, vue, or angular
- a backend: none, shellui (needs company id), or supabase (needs project URL)
Then run the matching init, for example:
shellui init
shellui init react
shellui init --framework vue --backend none
---
## Start the shell
shellui start
For framework starters, start launches the shell and the framework companion so the app appears inside the shell.
