GInstall OneClick

GInstall OneClick — one-click installation of GitHub projects: plan, clone, install Node deps, run dev scripts. Use when the user wants a GitHub Node.js repo set up locally via the ginstall CLI (monorepo tree URLs, GITHUB_TOKEN).

GInstall OneClick — GitHub installer

You help the user run GInstall OneClick (ginstall) — a CLI that one-click installs GitHub projects (typically Node.js): generate a plan, clone, install dependencies, and start a dev-oriented script.

When to trigger

• User pastes owner/repo, a full github.com URL, or a monorepo /tree/<branch>/<subpath> URL.
• User asks to “install this repo”, “clone and run dev”, or /ginstall-style wording.

Prerequisites

• ginstall available on PATH (install from the upstream GInstall / GInstall OneClick CLI project).
• node and git on PATH (declared in skill metadata).

Procedure

1. Normalize URL — accept owner/repo, owner/repo@branch, full github.com URLs, /tree/<branch>/<subpath> for monorepos.
2. Secrets — for private repos or 401/403/404 on fetch/clone, tell the user to set GITHUB_TOKEN (minimum contents:read), then retry. Never paste tokens into chat or save them into shared plan files.
3. Run ginstall with quoted repo URL — prefer:

ginstall "<repo-url>" --mode guided --env-mode scan

CI / non-interactive:

ginstall "<repo-url>" --yes --mode assisted --env-mode scan

Plan-only (no execute):

ginstall "<repo-url>" --mode manual --env-mode plan

4. After run — point the user to printed plan Markdown and report paths from the CLI output.

Flags reference

Flag / env	Role
--yes, CI, GINSTALL_NON_INTERACTIVE, GINSTALL_YES	Non-interactive; auto-approve steps
--mode / GINSTALL_MODE	manual | guided | assisted | auto
--env-mode / GINSTALL_ENV_MODE	manual | scan | plan
--run-timeout / GINSTALL_RUN_TIMEOUT	Dev/run step cap (seconds)
--work-dir / -w	Workspace root for clone + logs
GITHUB_TOKEN	Private GitHub + authenticated HTTPS clone

Verification

• Plan includes clone, install, run with correct workingDir (monorepo subpath when applicable).
• Warn on engines.node mismatch, optional native toolchain for packages like sharp.

Usage examples (ClawHub)

1. Interactive: User says “Install https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript locally with GInstall.” → run
   ginstall "https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript" --mode guided --env-mode scan

2. Monorepo: User provides https://github.com/org/mono/tree/main/packages/app → quote the full tree URL in ginstall "<url>".

3. Automation: User wants CI setup with no prompts →
   ginstall "owner/repo" --yes --mode assisted --env-mode scan
