init

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".

# /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.
