Let AI install it

Claude Code (including the "Code" tab in the desktop app) can run terminal commands on its own. That means you can hand off the whole install-and-connect process — all you have to do is click "Allow" once in the browser.

Paste this into Claude

Install and connect the Comitia CLI.

1. Run `node -v` to check if Node.js is installed. If it's missing or below 18, stop and tell me to install the LTS version from https://nodejs.org.
2. Install with `npm i -g comitia`. If you get a permission error (EACCES), ask me to run `sudo npm i -g comitia` myself — I'll enter the password.
3. Run `comitia init -g`. When the browser opens, wait for me to click "Allow."
4. When it's done, run `comitia recent 5` to show what's come in recently, and tell me in one line whether it worked.

What happens

1. Claude checks for Node.js and installs comitia
2. comitia init -g opens your browser — pick a workspace and permission level, then click "Allow"
3. The terminal shows "Connected," and Claude shows you a few recent Slack messages and meeting notes
4. From here on, you can just ask in any new conversation

⚠️ Before you connect — anything you bring into Comitia is visible to everyone in the same workspace, including your connected AI. There's no per-item access control yet, so don't add anything that needs to stay private — payroll, HR, personal data.

If it doesn't work

• "It needs my sudo password" — paste the command Claude gave you directly into the terminal yourself and enter your Mac password (it's normal for nothing to show up as you type)
• The browser doesn't open — paste the address Claude showed you into your browser
• Prefer to do it yourself? See Quickstart
