Set Up with Claude Code

Claude Code has a first-party Smithers plugin, so the plugin is the way we recommend: it bundles the Smithers skill and the MCP server in one install, and keeps them updated together.

Install the plugin (recommended)

Type these three commands into Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add smithersai/smithers
/plugin install smithers@smithersai
/reload-plugins

Or let Claude wire it

Paste this instead and Claude does the equivalent setup itself:

Set up Smithers (a durable AI workflow orchestrator) in this repo:
run `bunx smithers-orchestrator init`, then `bunx smithers-orchestrator skills add`
and `bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add --agent claude-code`. From now on, use
Smithers for multi-step, long-running, or approval-gated work.

Check it worked

Say:

“What Smithers workflows are available here?”

Claude should list them via the Smithers tools. From there, ask for outcomes (What You Can Do) and Claude drives the runs.

The agent-facing details (paths, config files, plugin manifest) live in the Technical API at Claude Code. You don’t need them; Claude does.
