What Gets Installed

Component Location Description
Global slash commands ~/.claude/commands/ Symlinks to repo commands (work from any project)
Environment file ~/.env.ourdigital API keys and secrets
Config directory ~/.ourdigital/ Configuration and credentials
Virtual environment .venv-ourdigital/ Python dependencies

Global Slash Commands

All custom skills are installed as global slash commands via symlinks. This means you can use them from any project directory in Claude Code:

# These work from ANY project, not just our-claude-skills/
/seo-technical https://example.com
/reference-curator "Claude Code best practices"
/ourdigital-research "topic"
/notebooklm-agent
/gtm-audit https://example.com

How It Works

The installer symlinks all .md files from .claude/commands/ in the repo to ~/.claude/commands/:

~/.claude/commands/
├── lint.md                    # Original global command
├── test.md                    # Original global command
├── seo-technical.md -> /path/to/our-claude-skills/.claude/commands/seo-technical.md
├── seo-keyword-strategy.md -> ...
├── reference-curator.md -> ...
└── ...                        # ~40 symlinked commands

Since they're symlinks, pulling repo updates automatically refreshes the commands.

Updating Commands

After pulling new changes or adding new commands:

./install.sh --commands    # Re-scan and symlink any new commands

Directory Structure

~/.claude/commands/           # Global slash commands (symlinks)
~/.ourdigital/
├── config.yaml               # Global configuration
├── credentials/              # Service account JSONs
│   └── *.json
└── logs/                     # Installation logs

~/.env.ourdigital             # Environment variables (chmod 600)

Manual Setup

If you prefer manual setup:

1. Create directories

mkdir -p ~/.ourdigital/credentials
chmod 700 ~/.ourdigital ~/.ourdigital/credentials
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
ln -s /path/to/our-claude-skills/.claude/commands/*.md ~/.claude/commands/

3. Copy environment template

cp .env.ourdigital.template ~/.env.ourdigital
chmod 600 ~/.env.ourdigital

4. Edit credentials

nano ~/.env.ourdigital
# Add your API keys

5. Create virtual environment

python3 -m venv .venv-ourdigital
source .venv-ourdigital/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/base.txt

Credentials Required

Service Variable How to Get
Notion NOTION_API_TOKEN Notion Integrations
Ghost Blog GHOST_BLOG_ADMIN_KEY Ghost Admin > Integrations
Ghost Journal GHOST_JOURNAL_ADMIN_KEY Ghost Admin > Integrations
Figma FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN Figma Settings

Using 1Password CLI

If you have 1Password CLI (op) installed:

# Sign in
eval $(op signin)

# Installer will auto-fetch credentials
./install.sh

Validation

Check your installation status:

# Quick check
./install.sh --validate

# Detailed check
python scripts/validate_install.py --verbose

Cross-Machine Sync

To sync skills to another machine:

# On new machine
git clone https://github.com/ourdigital/our-claude-skills.git
cd our-claude-skills/custom-skills/_ourdigital-shared
./install.sh

# Credentials need to be set up separately (security)
# Either use 1Password CLI or manually copy ~/.env.ourdigital

Troubleshooting

Permission denied

chmod +x install.sh

Python version

# Check version (need 3.11+)
python3 --version

# Use pyenv if needed
pyenv install 3.11
pyenv local 3.11

Missing credentials

# Check what's missing
python scripts/validate_install.py --verbose

Commands not showing in Claude Code

# Check symlinks are intact
ls -la ~/.claude/commands/

# Re-install commands
./install.sh --commands
