/factory

One-command setup for the entire Solo Factory startup toolkit.

What gets installed

23 skills — full startup pipeline from idea to shipped product:

MCP server (optional) — solograph provides 15 tools: - kb_search — semantic search over knowledge base - session_search — search past Claude Code sessions - codegraph_query / codegraph_explain / codegraph_stats / codegraph_shared — code intelligence - project_info / project_code_search / project_code_reindex — project registry - source_search / source_list / source_tags / source_related — source management - web_search — web search

Steps

1. Parse arguments from $ARGUMENTS:
2. --mcp — also configure solograph MCP server
3. --skills-only — skip MCP setup (default)

4. No args — install skills, ask about MCP

5. Detect agent and choose install method:

bash # Check what's available command -v npx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "npx: ok" command -v clawhub >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "clawhub: ok"

Method A (recommended): npx skills — works with any AI agent, installs from GitHub directly. Method B: clawhub install — for OpenClaw users who prefer ClawHub registry. Method C: Claude Code plugin — if user is on Claude Code, suggest plugin instead.

1. Install all 23 skills:

Method A — npx skills (recommended, works immediately):

bash npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory --all

This single command installs all skills from GitHub to all detected agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex, etc.). No account or publishing required.

Method B — clawhub (OpenClaw users):

```bash # Check login clawhub whoami 2>/dev/null || echo "Run: clawhub login"

# Install available skills for skill in audit build community-outreach content-gen deploy humanize index-youtube init landing-gen metrics-track pipeline plan research retro review scaffold seo-audit setup stream swarm validate video-promo you2idea-extract; do echo -n "Installing solo-$skill... " clawhub install "solo-$skill" 2>&1 | tail -1 sleep 2 done ```

If some skills are not yet on ClawHub, fall back to Method A for those.

Method C — Claude Code plugin (all-in-one):

bash claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fortunto2/solo-factory claude plugin install solo@solo --scope user

This installs all 23 skills + 3 agents + hooks + MCP auto-start in one command.

1. MCP setup (if --mcp or user agreed):

Ask: "Set up solograph MCP for code intelligence and KB search?"

4a. Check uv/uvx: bash command -v uvx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "uvx: ok" || echo "uvx: missing" If missing: "Install uv first: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/"

4b. Configure MCP:

For OpenClaw (via mcporter): bash mcporter config add solograph --stdio "uvx solograph"

For Claude Code (via .mcp.json): json { "mcpServers": { "solograph": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["solograph"] } } }

4c. Verify: bash uvx solograph --help

1. Report results:

### Quick start

Try these commands: - /solo-research "your startup idea" — scout the market - /solo-validate "your startup idea" — score + generate PRD - /solo-stream "should I quit my job" — decision framework

### Full pipeline

research → validate → scaffold → setup → plan → build → deploy → review

Common Issues

npx skills: command not found

Fix: Install Node.js 18+. npx comes with npm.

clawhub: some skills not found

Cause: Not all skills published to ClawHub yet. Fix: Use npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory --all instead.

uvx: command not found (for MCP)

Fix: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

MCP tools not working

Fix: Test with uvx solograph --help. Check .mcp.json or mcporter config.
