How to Set Up and Use AI Setup
AI Setup (powered by Caliber) is a developer tool that analyzes your codebase and automatically generates and keeps synchronized the AI configuration files needed by Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, and other AI coding assistants. With a single bootstrap command, it produces platform-specific files like CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, and .mcp.json—tailored to your actual project structure, conventions, and dependencies. Development teams use it to ensure every engineer's AI assistant starts with the same accurate codebase context, reducing hallucinations and improving agent output quality.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm or npx available on your PATH
- An API key for at least one LLM provider: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Anthropic, OPENAI_API_KEY for OpenAI, or GCP credentials for Vertex AI
- Git initialized in your project repository
- Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible AI coding assistant
Bootstrap AI configuration for your project
Run the bootstrap command in your project root. Caliber analyzes your codebase and generates all AI configuration files automatically.
npx @rely-ai/caliber bootstrapSet your LLM provider credentials
Set the environment variable for your LLM provider. Caliber uses the provider to generate accurate, codebase-specific content for each configuration file.
# For Anthropic Claude
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
# For OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
# For Vertex AI
export VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-gcp-project
export VERTEX_REGION=us-east5Initialize for specific AI agents
Use caliber init to target specific platforms or all at once. This generates platform-specific config files and skills directories.
# All platforms
caliber init --agent all
# Claude Code only
caliber init --agent claude
# Multiple platforms
caliber init --agent claude,cursorRun a quality audit
Score your AI setup across five dimensions (Files & Setup, Quality, Grounding, Accuracy, Freshness) without making any LLM calls.
caliber scoreEnable auto-refresh on commits
Install pre-commit hooks so Caliber automatically regenerates AI config files whenever you commit code changes.
caliber hooks --installDiscover and install community skills
Browse and install reusable SKILL.md agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and other platforms from the Caliber skills registry.

}Prompts to try
Once your AI configuration is set up and synced, use these prompts in Claude Code or Cursor.
- "Regenerate my CLAUDE.md based on recent changes to the project structure"
- "Score my current AI setup and tell me what's missing"
- "Install the testing skill for my Claude Code setup"
- "Refresh my Cursor rules to reflect the new authentication module I just added"
- "Show me what AI configuration files Caliber has generated for this project"Troubleshooting AI Setup
caliber bootstrap produces empty or generic configuration files
Ensure the LLM provider environment variable is set (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY) before running bootstrap. Run `caliber status` to check configuration. If the project root lacks a package.json or recognizable structure, run bootstrap from the actual project root.
Pre-commit hook fails or does not fire
Run `caliber hooks --install` again from the repository root. Check `.git/hooks/pre-commit` exists and is executable (`chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit`). Run `caliber learn status` to see hook status and any diagnostic information.
CALIBER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED is not respected
Set CALIBER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 in your shell environment or in a .env file in the project root before running any caliber commands. You can also add it to your global shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) for persistent opt-out.
