Why this exists

The first thing every ORBWEVA student used to do was type twenty-two slash commands in a row. /plugin marketplace add … then /plugin install …, eleven times. Get the order wrong, see Unknown skill: discovery — Create a new one? — hit Enter by reflex — now you have a fake skill and no error message. On Windows, half the installs fail silently until you discover you needed two PowerShell windows, one Admin for winget and one non-Admin for scoop, and that EBADENGINE warnings are fine but "recognize 'gh'" means your PATH is stale.

It was a rite of passage nobody asked for. So we built this.

What it does — replaces the 22 /plugin … commands with one npx invocation. Shallow-clones the 11 public ORBWEVA skill repos, copies the skills/<name>/ directories into ~/.claude/skills/, then prints the platform-specific CLI tool and MCP server commands you still need to run. Zero runtime dependencies. Node 18+ and git are the only prereqs.

Who this is for

• ORBWEVA Accelerator students — the 12-week cohort program
• Founder-track partners — e.g. agencies reselling a lean founder base to their clients
• Mentoring clients — existing businesses getting 1:1 operator support
• Self-paced learners — the Course track
• Specialists — anyone layering a vertical on top of a track (Loka ecosystem, marketing agency, web+video studio)

If you're none of those but still want the skills, run --track full.

Quick start

# Pick a track from the menu, answer a few prompts
npx @orbweva/academy@latest

# Go straight to a track, prompt per optional skill
npx @orbweva/academy@latest --track accelerator

# Fully non-interactive (all defaults, all optional skills, global)
npx @orbweva/academy@latest --track accelerator --yes --global

# Stack a specialization on top of a track
npx @orbweva/academy@latest --track accelerator --pack loka
npx @orbweva/academy@latest --track accelerator --pack marketing --pack web-video

# Partner-delivered lean founder base (no Accelerator overhead)
npx @orbweva/academy@latest --track founder

Tracks

Pick one base program. See docs/TRACKS.md for full details per track.

| Track | For | Skills | |---|---|---| | accelerator | 12-week cohort — zero-to-one founders | 15 | | course | Self-paced founder fundamentals | 9 | | mentoring | 1:1 operator support for existing businesses | 13 | | founder | Lean base for partner-delivered programs (agencies, resellers) | 10 | | full | Everything — no tradeoffs | 15 |

Specialization packs

Stackable on top of any track. See docs/PACKS.md.

| Pack | For | Status | |---|---|---| | loka | Businesses on the Loka living-textbook + LoLA avatar platform | Planned | | marketing | One-person (or small team) marketing agencies | Planned | | web-video | Web design + video editing studios | Planned |

Pack repos are staged in manifest.json but not yet published. The installer skips planned packs gracefully until their repos go live.

What gets installed

The installer composes a skill set from the track + any packs you add, then clones the relevant public ORBWEVA repos into your Claude Code skills folder.

For the full phase-by-phase catalog of every skill and command — see the ORBWEVA Accelerator Skills Reference (or ACCELERATOR_SKILLS_REFERENCE.md). That's the authoritative source; we don't duplicate it here.

Verify install

After the installer finishes, open Claude Code and run:

/discovery:help

You should see the customer-discovery command menu. If Claude says Unknown skill, see docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

Staying updated

Re-run the one-liner:

npx @orbweva/academy@latest

It re-clones each repo and overwrites existing skill folders. For air-gapped or npm-less environments, see docs/manual-update.md.

All flags

| Flag | Meaning | |---|---| | -t, --track <name> | Pick track: accelerator, course, mentoring, founder, full | | -p, --pack <name> | Add a specialization pack (repeatable) | | -g, --global | Install to ~/.claude/skills/ | | -l, --local | Install to ./.claude/skills/ | | -y, --yes | Accept all defaults AND auto-run every CLI/MCP command — no prompts | | --skills-only | Install skills only; skip CLI + MCP setup entirely | | --no-run | Print CLI + MCP commands (don't execute them). Skills still install. | | --dry-run | Show what would happen, touch nothing | | -h, --help | Show help |

After skills install, the CLI prompts Y/n per CLI tool (brew/winget/scoop/npm/gh auth login) and per claude mcp add command, then runs the ones you approve. Use --yes to run them all silently; --no-run to see the commands without executing.
