Set up your coding agent

Any coding agent that can run terminal commands can work with Fimo. Connect it once on each machine, then let it load version-matched instructions for the task at hand.

Install the global skill

fimo init offers this during setup. To connect an agent later, run:

npm
Bun
pnpm
Yarn

npx fimo@latest skills install

bunx fimo@latest skills install

pnpm dlx fimo@latest skills install

yarn dlx fimo@latest skills install

Choose the coding tools installed on this machine. In a non-interactive shell, pass them explicitly:

npm
Bun
pnpm
Yarn

npx fimo@latest skills install --agents=claude-code,cursor

bunx fimo@latest skills install --agents=claude-code,cursor

pnpm dlx fimo@latest skills install --agents=claude-code,cursor

yarn dlx fimo@latest skills install --agents=claude-code,cursor

Hermes Agent uses the same bootstrap. Select it with --agents=hermes; when HERMES_HOME is set, Fimo installs the skill into that active Hermes profile.The command installs a small bootstrap skill. It does not copy the full Fimo instructions into every site.

Open the site

The agent should work from the site root and read AGENTS.md. New sites also include CLAUDE.md. Run fimo rules sync when another tool needs its own rule-file format. The command creates missing variants and does not overwrite files you have edited.

Load instructions for the task

Check the available instructions, then ask the agent to load only the skill it needs:

npm
Bun
pnpm
Yarn

npm exec -- fimo skills list
npm exec -- fimo skills get fimo-code
npm exec -- fimo skills get fimo-cli

bunx --no-install fimo skills list
bunx --no-install fimo skills get fimo-code
bunx --no-install fimo skills get fimo-cli

pnpm exec fimo skills list
pnpm exec fimo skills get fimo-code
pnpm exec fimo skills get fimo-cli

yarn fimo skills list
yarn fimo skills get fimo-code
yarn fimo skills get fimo-cli

Use fimo-code for application code and fimo-cli for site workflows. fimo-studio covers Studio tasks. fimo-migration covers the alpha migration workflow, which is not stable yet. It is not for routine work on an existing linked codebase.

If the agent is doing the initial setup, send it to Get started for AI coding agents.

Site knowledge

Before site recommendations, planning, design, copy, or code work, agents should read shared site knowledge. Fimo skills include this prerequisite; MCP clients use knowledge_get with the site ID. Empty knowledge does not block work. Updates require an explicit request and permission.

Supported tools

The interactive picker lists the supported agent IDs. Tools that read AGENTS.md directly do not need a generated site rule file. Other tools can use a variant created by fimo rules sync. Each teammate runs fimo skills install on their own machine. Site rule files stay in the repository and arrive with the code.
