Vector Setup

Bootstraps ruvector@0.2.25 and its optional add-ons so every /vector subcommand actually works on first run.

Why this exists

Out of the box, several /vector subcommands fail with a confusing dep error:

This skill installs them in one pass.

Steps

1. Pin ruvector:

   npm install ruvector@0.2.25
   

2. Install the add-ons (idempotent — only what's missing):

   npm install ruvector-onnx-embeddings-wasm \
               @ruvector/pi-brain \
               @ruvector/ruvllm
   

   For a leaner install, pass --full to also pull @ruvector/graph-node and @ruvector/router:

   npm install ruvector-onnx-embeddings-wasm \
               @ruvector/pi-brain \
               @ruvector/ruvllm \
               @ruvector/graph-node \
               @ruvector/router
   

3. Verify the binary:

   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 doctor
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 info
   

4. Register the MCP server:

   claude mcp add ruvector -- npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 mcp start
   claude mcp list | grep ruvector
   

5. Sanity check the most common subcommands:

   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks route "test"
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 attention list
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 rvf examples
   

6. (Optional) Generate a pi identity for brain + edge:

   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 identity generate
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 identity show
   

Smoke test

For a deterministic verification of the install, run the plugin's bundled smoke script:

bash plugins/ruflo-ruvector/scripts/smoke.sh

It checks: version pin, top-level subcommand visibility, hooks ast-analyze, hooks route, attention list, rvf examples, and info. Exits non-zero if any drift from the contracted surface is detected.

What this does not install

• Native Rust toolchain (optional; only needed for source builds)
• Platform-specific native bindings (auto-detected by @ruvector/core)
• @ruvector/sona native binding (the JS fallback via @ruvector/ruvllm is sufficient on macOS arm64; Linux x64 has its own native binding)

If doctor still reports a problem after this skill runs, paste its output verbatim and ask.
