Quick Start

  1. Authenticate with braid

    braid auth

    This opens your browser and signs the CLI in with your local auth session.

  2. Set your scope

    Configure which profile or projects to install from:

    braid scope

  3. Install to your tools

    braid install --yes

    braid detects which AI tools are configured in your project and writes prompts in each tool’s native format.

  4. Verify the installation

    braid list

    You should see your installed rules and skills listed by agent.

What just happened?

When you ran braid install, the CLI:

  1. Fetched your rules and skills from your braid profile
  2. Detected which tools have project configuration (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
  3. Wrote each prompt as a native local file in the right directory and format
  4. Reported what was installed to each agent
