Choose a Bravos installation
Use the npm CLI to install the current Bravos 1.5.3 skills for your user or your
repository. The public plugin repository is a separate artifact: its checked
snapshot is version 1.1.0 with 14 skills, while the CLI installs 15, including
bravos-resync.
Install the current skills
Section titled “Install the current skills”Install Bravos covers the npm package and user-level setup. To make its 1.5.3 skills available across repositories:
bravos init --globalSkills (~/.agents/skills): 15 linked, 0 unchanged, 0 skipped (links to ~/.claude/skills, one copy each)Truncated to the shared-skill link line from the clean-home installation. This installs the user hooks and Codex MCP wiring too; the CLI prints a separate Claude Code user-MCP hint. For configuration shared through git, use repository initialization.
Check the published plugin before using it
Section titled “Check the published plugin before using it”The published plugin snapshot contains packages for Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot/VS Code, Gemini CLI, Antigravity and Cursor. Its manifests declare 1.1.0. Its 14 skill folders and GuardLink-only MCP configuration do not acquire the CLI’s newer skills when you upgrade npm.
| Installation | Skills | MCP wiring | Refresh |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLI 1.5.3, user | 15, linked across Claude/shared roots | Codex entries; Claude user setup hint | global sync |
| CLI 1.5.3, repository | 15, in the selected agent roots | guardlink plus available cxg/codegraph for supported hosts | repository sync |
| Published plugin 1.1.0 | 14, in the agent’s plugin store | guardlink | host plugin update |
Plugin hook manifests register SessionStart for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI
and Antigravity. Copilot/VS Code and Cursor load the briefing through the
bravos skill. Repository hook, autopilot and CI configuration comes from the
CLI; plugin installation alone does not install them.
Use the plugin repository’s instructions for that published version if you choose it. This page does not present older installation transcripts as a 1.5.3 plugin install. Prefer CLI initialization when following the current agent workflow.
Both installations need the real tools on the machine. The code graph, SAST, workspaces, CI, scheduling, pre-PR and campaigns are paid, with a 30-day no-card trial. See licensing.
