Wip Universal Installer

Reference installer for agent-native software. Scans a repo, detects which interfaces it exposes, and installs them all.

Reference installer for agent-native software. Scans a repo, detects which interfaces it exposes, and installs them all.

When to Use This Skill

Use wip-install for:

• Installing any repo that follows the Universal Interface pattern
• Detecting what interfaces a repo provides
• Setting up CLI tools, MCP servers, OpenClaw plugins, and Claude Code hooks in one command

Use detect.mjs for:

• Programmatically detecting interfaces in a repo
• Building custom installers or CI pipelines
• Validating that a repo follows the spec

Do NOT Use For

• Installing standard npm packages (use npm directly)
• Repos that don't follow the Universal Interface conventions
• Building or compiling code (this only installs)

API Reference

CLI

wip-install /path/to/repo           # install all interfaces
wip-install org/repo                 # clone from GitHub + install
wip-install --dry-run /path/to/repo  # detect only, no changes
wip-install --json /path/to/repo     # JSON output

Module (detect.mjs)

import { detectInterfaces, describeInterfaces, detectInterfacesJSON } from './detect.mjs';

const { interfaces, pkg } = detectInterfaces('/path/to/repo');
console.log(describeInterfaces(interfaces));

const json = detectInterfacesJSON('/path/to/repo');
console.log(JSON.stringify(json, null, 2));
