Readme
amaru (npm wrapper)
npm distribution of amaru — the Go CLI that manages skills, commands, and agents for Claude Code.
Usage
Run without installing:
npx amaru init
npx amaru installOr install globally:
npm install -g amaru
amaru --helpHow it works
On npm install, the package's postinstall hook downloads the matching
prebuilt binary from
github.com/useamaru/amaru/releases
for your platform (linux/darwin/windows × amd64/arm64) and drops it under
bin/. The amaru bin entry is a tiny Node launcher that execs the binary
and forwards argv, stdio, and exit code.
Environment variables
AMARU_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1— skip the postinstall download. Useful in CI when you want the npm package installed but will fetch the binary another way.AMARU_VERSION=<x.y.z>— override the version tag fetched from GitHub Releases. Defaults to this package's own version.AMARU_REPO=<owner>/<repo>— override the GitHub repo. Defaults touseamaru/amaru.
Supported platforms
Linux and macOS (x64, arm64) extract via the system tar. Windows uses the
tar.exe that ships with Windows 10 (1809) and later to unpack the .zip
release.
If your platform isn't supported by the prebuilts, build from source — see the main README.
