Consumer Setup

Consumer Setup

How to set up a downstream project to use Bluetemberg.

1. Authenticate with GitHub Packages

Add or create .npmrc in your project root:

@prototypdigital:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${GITHUB_TOKEN}

Set GITHUB_TOKEN to a personal access token with read:packages scope.

For CI (GitHub Actions):

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: '20'
    registry-url: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'
    scope: '@prototypdigital'
  env:
    NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

2. Initialize

npx @prototypdigital/bluetemberg init

Follow the interactive prompts to select platforms, rules, agents, and skills.

3. Add sync check to CI

Add to your GitHub Actions workflow to catch drift:

- name: Check AI config sync
  run: npx bluetemberg sync --check

4. Ongoing workflow

After editing any file in llm/:

# Regenerate platform files
npm run sync:llm-config

# Verify in CI
npm run sync:llm-config:check

Updating Bluetemberg

To get the latest starter templates and sync engine:

npm update @prototypdigital/bluetemberg

Then re-run sync to pick up any engine changes:

npx bluetemberg sync

Migrating from manual setup

If your project already has AI config files (.cursor/rules/, .claude/rules/, etc.) that were created manually:

1. Run npx @prototypdigital/bluetemberg init in your project
2. Move your existing rule content into llm/rules/ with the correct frontmatter format
3. Run npx bluetemberg sync to regenerate platform files
4. Verify the output matches your previous setup
5. Delete any manually-created platform files that are now generated
