# /factory

One-command setup for the entire Solo Factory startup toolkit.

## What gets installed

**23 skills** — full startup pipeline from idea to shipped product:

| Phase | Skills |
|-------|--------|
| Analysis | research, validate, stream, swarm |
| Development | scaffold, setup, plan, build, deploy, review |
| Promotion | seo-audit, content-gen, community-outreach, video-promo, landing-gen, metrics-track |
| Utilities | init, audit, retro, pipeline, humanize, index-youtube, you2idea-extract |

**MCP server** (optional) — [solograph](https://github.com/fortunto2/solograph) provides 15 tools:
- `kb_search` — semantic search over knowledge base
- `session_search` — search past Claude Code sessions
- `codegraph_query` / `codegraph_explain` / `codegraph_stats` / `codegraph_shared` — code intelligence
- `project_info` / `project_code_search` / `project_code_reindex` — project registry
- `source_search` / `source_list` / `source_tags` / `source_related` — source management
- `web_search` — web search

## Steps

1. **Parse arguments** from `$ARGUMENTS`:
   - `--mcp` — also configure solograph MCP server
   - `--skills-only` — skip MCP setup (default)
   - No args — install skills, ask about MCP

2. **Detect agent and choose install method:**

   ```bash
   # Check what's available
   command -v npx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "npx: ok"
   command -v clawhub >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "clawhub: ok"
   ```

   **Method A (recommended): `npx skills`** — works with any AI agent, installs from GitHub directly.
   **Method B: `clawhub install`** — for OpenClaw users who prefer ClawHub registry.
   **Method C: Claude Code plugin** — if user is on Claude Code, suggest plugin instead.

3. **Install all 23 skills:**

   **Method A — npx skills (recommended, works immediately):**

   ```bash
   npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory --all
   ```

   This single command installs all skills from GitHub to all detected agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex, etc.). No account or publishing required.

   **Method B — clawhub (OpenClaw users):**

   ```bash
   # Check login
   clawhub whoami 2>/dev/null || echo "Run: clawhub login"

   # Install available skills
   for skill in \
     audit build community-outreach content-gen deploy \
     humanize index-youtube init landing-gen metrics-track \
     pipeline plan research retro review \
     scaffold seo-audit setup stream swarm \
     validate video-promo you2idea-extract; do
     echo -n "Installing solo-$skill... "
     clawhub install "solo-$skill" 2>&1 | tail -1
     sleep 2
   done
   ```

   If some skills are not yet on ClawHub, fall back to Method A for those.

   **Method C — Claude Code plugin (all-in-one):**

   ```bash
   claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fortunto2/solo-factory
   claude plugin install solo@solo --scope user
   ```

   This installs all 23 skills + 3 agents + hooks + MCP auto-start in one command.

4. **MCP setup** (if `--mcp` or user agreed):

   Ask: "Set up solograph MCP for code intelligence and KB search?"

   **4a. Check uv/uvx:**
   ```bash
   command -v uvx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "uvx: ok" || echo "uvx: missing"
   ```
   If missing: "Install uv first: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/"

   **4b. Configure MCP:**

   For OpenClaw (via mcporter):
   ```bash
   mcporter config add solograph --stdio "uvx solograph"
   ```

   For Claude Code (via .mcp.json):
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "solograph": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["solograph"]
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   **4c. Verify:**
   ```bash
   uvx solograph --help
   ```

5. **Report results:**

   ```
   ## Solo Factory Setup Complete

   **Install method:** npx skills / clawhub / Claude Code plugin
   **Skills installed:** X/23
   **MCP configured:** yes/no
   **Failed:** [list any failures]

   ### Quick start

   Try these commands:
   - `/solo-research "your startup idea"` — scout the market
   - `/solo-validate "your startup idea"` — score + generate PRD
   - `/solo-stream "should I quit my job"` — decision framework

   ### Full pipeline

   research → validate → scaffold → setup → plan → build → deploy → review

## Common Issues

### npx skills: command not found
**Fix:** Install Node.js 18+. npx comes with npm.

### clawhub: some skills not found
**Cause:** Not all skills published to ClawHub yet.
**Fix:** Use `npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory --all` instead.

### uvx: command not found (for MCP)
**Fix:** `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`

### MCP tools not working
**Fix:** Test with `uvx solograph --help`. Check `.mcp.json` or mcporter config.
