zbs-researcher

One-command installer for the ZBS Researcher (deep-research) Claude Code plugin.

npx -y @zbs-gg/zbs-researcher@latest

What it does (full transparency)

The installer is a thin shim. It runs exactly two commands — and prints them before asking for confirmation:

claude plugin marketplace add zbs-gg/zbs-researcher
claude plugin install deep-research@zbs-researcher

Then it verifies the install via claude plugin list and tells you the next step: open Claude Code and say "run deep research".

It does nothing else — no telemetry, no config edits, no network calls of its own (the claude CLI does the actual marketplace fetch).

Usage

Interactive (asks y/N before running the commands):

npx -y @zbs-gg/zbs-researcher@latest

Non-interactive (CI, scripts, "just do it"):

npx -y @zbs-gg/zbs-researcher@latest --yes

Note: the first -y belongs to npx (skip npx's own install prompt); the trailing --yes is the installer's flag that skips the confirmation prompt. Without --yes on a non-interactive stdin the installer prints the two commands and exits 0 — it never hangs.

Flags

| Flag | Effect | | --- | --- | | -y, --yes | run without the confirmation prompt | | --dry-run | print the commands, execute nothing, exit 0 | | --no-color | disable ANSI colors and the banner art | | -h, --help | show help |

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18 (only to run this installer; the plugin itself does not need Node)
• Claude Code CLI (claude) — if it is missing, the installer prints the two commands plus the install link (https://code.claude.com/docs) and exits 0.

No Claude Code? You can always run the two commands above manually once you have it.

About the plugin

ZBS Researcher is a plan-first, project-local, multi-channel deep-research runner for Claude Code — LLM lenses + free direct connectors + Claude synthesis, with no Anthropic/OpenAI API spend by default. Source: https://github.com/zbs-gg/zbs-researcher
