Frictionless setup. Detects missing daemon, installs it, configures local memory, and verifies the full plugin → MCP → daemon round-trip. Run after `/plugin install origin@7xuanlu`, or any time the user says "set up origin", "is origin working", "fix origin".

What this skill does


# /init

Self-healing setup. Goal: 30 seconds, two user actions max (install plugin,
type /init). Default backend is local memory — no local model, no API key, no
prompts. Local model and Anthropic key are opt-in upgrades documented in
`/help`.

## Steps

Run in order. Stop and report at the first failure that needs human
attention. Otherwise, push through automatically.

### 1. Daemon health probe

```
Bash: curl -fsS -m 1 http://127.0.0.1:7878/api/health
```

- 200 OK → skip to step 4.
- Anything else → step 2.

### 2. Bootstrap (auto-install if missing)

Detect whether the `origin` CLI is on PATH:

```
Bash: command -v origin >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo present || echo absent
```

If `absent`, run the installer (no human prompts):

```
Bash: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7xuanlu/origin/v0.6.1/install.sh | bash
```

Then add it to PATH for the current session and configure local memory
non-interactively:

```
Bash: export PATH="$HOME/.origin/bin:$PATH" && origin setup --basic && origin install
```

If `present` (CLI exists, daemon down), just install + start:

```
Bash: origin setup --basic 2>/dev/null || true; origin install
```

`origin setup --basic` is idempotent — safe to re-run. `origin install`
writes the launchd plist and starts the daemon.

### 3. Re-probe daemon health

```
Bash: for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do curl -fsS -m 1 http://127.0.0.1:7878/api/health && break; sleep 1; done
```

If the daemon still isn't reachable after ~5s, surface the error and stop.
Likely cause: launchd plist load failure, port 7878 occupied by another
process, or macOS Tahoe Metal init issue (daemon degrades but still binds —
check `lsof -ti :7878`).

### 4. Doctor (verify backend)

Call the `origin` MCP server's `doctor` tool:

```
doctor()
```

Expected: local memory configured (no model, no key). Capture the mode
string for the final report.

### 5. MCP round-trip

```
context()
```

Pass → continue. Fail → MCP not wired. Tell user:
"origin-mcp didn't respond. Restart Claude Code so the plugin's
`.mcp.json` re-spawns the server."

### 6. Ready report

Print:

```
Origin ready.
  Daemon:   up on 127.0.0.1:7878
  Mode:     <mode from doctor()>
  MCP:      connected
  Data:     ~/.origin/  (pages, sessions, db symlink)
  Try:      /brief, /capture <thing>, /recall <query>, /help
```

If this was the first /init invocation in the session, dispatch `/help`
once so the user sees the verb cheat-sheet without asking.

## Optional upgrades (don't auto-run)

Mention these in the ready report only if the user explicitly asks for
"richer features" or asks about model-backed extraction:

- `origin model install` — local Qwen for distill cycles.
- `origin key set anthropic` — Anthropic for stronger synthesis.

Default flow ignores both. Storage, search, recall, and MCP memory all
work in local memory mode.

## When to use

- Right after `/plugin install origin@7xuanlu`.
- Hook printed "daemon down — run /origin:init".
- User says "set up origin", "is it working", "reinstall origin".

## When NOT to use

- Daemon already verified this session → `/brief` instead.
- Editing one config field → `origin doctor` or settings file directly.
