Installation

Canonical steps: README · Agents: Supported-AI-Agents

Step 1 — Everyone

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Thitic9203/helix/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Installer does:

• Clone to ~/.helix/tc-fe-prep
• Symlink helix + 5 workflow stubs into global agent folders
• Enable helix@helix (disable helix@local)
• Register SessionStart hooks (bootstrap + auto-update)

Step 2 — Verify (6 skills)

bash ~/.helix/tc-fe-prep/scripts/helix-doctor.sh
HELIX_DOCTOR_FIX=1 bash ~/.helix/tc-fe-prep/scripts/helix-doctor.sh   # repair

Expect: helix, tc-fe-prep-workflow, tc-api-prep-workflow, retest-bug-workflow, testing-ticket-workflow, create-bug-workflow.

Step 3 — By agent

Agent	After install
Claude Code	New session → /helix
Cursor	Reload Window → @helix or skill name
Copilot / Cline / Gemini / Codex	skill helix or *-workflow

Team repo:

HELIX_LINK_WORKSPACE=$PWD ~/.helix/tc-fe-prep/scripts/link-skills.sh

Skill layout

Layer	Path
Discovery stub	skills/{name}/SKILL.md
Full procedure	skills/deprecated/{name}/WORKFLOW.md

Stubs are what get symlinked — not the deprecated/ folder directly.

Update

Default: auto-update on new session. Manual: HELIX_FORCE_UPDATE=1 bash ~/.helix/tc-fe-prep/scripts/helix-auto-update.sh

See Troubleshooting if skills missing after update.
