aeview-install
Set up aeview on this machine: install the CLI from PyPI, install the reviewer-panel skills
globally, and verify. A one-time setup.
Raw arguments: $ARGUMENTS — --pipx uses pipx instead of uv for the CLI.
1. Install the CLI
Default (uv — also fetches Python 3.14 if needed):
uv tool install --prerelease=allow aeview
The --prerelease=allow flag is required for uv only: aeview pulls a prerelease Codex runtime,
so uv needs it for the transitive prerelease. With --pipx, no flag is needed:
pipx install aeview
2. Install the skills globally
Pull the aeview skills — this one, plus aeview, aeview-pr, aeview-loop, aeview-commits, and
aeview-effective-pr — from the public repo and install them globally, with no prompts:
npx skills add MarlzRana/aeview -g -y \
--skill aeview aeview-install aeview-pr aeview-loop aeview-commits aeview-effective-pr
-g installs for every project (the global agent dir) and -y skips the prompts. The skills are
listed by name — not --skill '*' — so only the aeview* skills install: the repo also carries a
maintainer-only release skill that end users shouldn't get, and the skills CLI matches --skill
names exactly (there's no aeview* glob). It installs to whichever agents the CLI detects on this
machine.
3. Verify
aeview --version
aeview doctor
aeview doctor reports what's missing for the reviewers you have — most importantly harness auth
(aeview drives Claude Code / Codex / Copilot through bundled SDKs, but you must be authenticated with
each harness a reviewer uses). Resolve anything it flags. aeview requires Python 3.14+ on
macOS or Linux.
