Description

Automate installation of Claude Code CLI and guide user to configure API via cc-switch. Handles environment setup, mirrors, and post-install prompts.

README (SKILL.md)

This skill guides users through installing Claude Code CLI (by Anthropic) and setting up their own API configuration using cc-switch. The skill itself does not configure any API keys; it only prepares the environment and instructs the user to download and run cc-switch.

Prerequisites Check

The skill automatically checks for required tools: Node.js, npm, and Git. If any are missing, they will be installed using Tsinghua mirror sources by default.

Installation Steps

Check Node.js version: node -v
Check npm version: npm -v
Set npm mirror (China): npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com/
Check Git version: git -v
Install Claude Code globally: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Verify installation: claude --version
Start Claude Code: claude

Post-Install Configuration

After installation, you will be prompted to:

Download and install cc-switch (or appropriate URL)
Use cc-switch to configure your own API key
Edit .claude.json and set "hasCompletedOnboarding": true (add comma before if needed)
Switch models inside Claude Code using /model command, e.g., /model deepseek-v4-pro[1m]

Notes

If Node.js, npm, or Git are not found, the skill will automatically download them from Tsinghua mirrors.
The skill does not store or manage any API credentials.
For model switching, refer to the /model command within Claude Code.

Usage Guidance

Review before installing. Only use this if you are comfortable with global package installs and a persistent npm registry change to a third-party mirror. Prefer asking the agent to use official upstream sources, confirm before installing prerequisites, avoid changing global npm config, and verify the cc-switch source before entering any API key.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Purpose & Capability

Installing Claude Code, checking Node/npm/Git, and guiding API setup fit the stated purpose, but the skill also delegates credential setup to an unspecified cc-switch URL placeholder.

⚠ Instruction Scope

The instructions say missing prerequisites will be installed automatically and set a China npm mirror by default, without requiring explicit user confirmation or offering official-source alternatives.

⚠ Install Mechanism

The skill installs global CLI tooling and changes npm registry configuration to https://registry.npmmirror.com/, which can affect future unrelated npm installs.

⚠ Credentials

Global installs and third-party mirrors are plausible for this installer, but they are broader than necessary unless scoped to the current install or explicitly chosen by the user.

⚠ Persistence & Privilege

The npm registry change is persistent configuration, and the artifact does not explain its lasting effect or provide rollback instructions.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install claude-installer
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /claude-installer
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
