Factory

/factory

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

What gets installed

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

| Phase | Skills | |-------|--------| | Analysis | research, validate, stream, swarm | | Development | scaffold, setup, plan, build, deploy, review | | Promotion | seo-audit, content-gen, community-outreach, video-promo, landing-gen, metrics-track | | Utilities | init, audit, retro, pipeline, humanize, index-youtube, you2idea-extract |

MCP server (optional) — solograph provides 15 tools:

Steps

1. Parse arguments from $ARGUMENTS: - --mcp — also configure solograph MCP server - --skills-only — skip MCP setup (default) - No args — install skills, ask about MCP

2. Detect agent and choose install method:

   # 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.

3. Install all 23 skills:

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

   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):

   # 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):

   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.

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

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

4a. Check uv/uvx:

   command -v uvx >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "uvx: ok" || echo "uvx: missing"
   

4b. Configure MCP:

For OpenClaw (via mcporter):

   mcporter config add solograph --stdio "uvx solograph"
   

For Claude Code (via .mcp.json):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "solograph": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["solograph"]
       }
     }
   }
   

4c. Verify:

   uvx solograph --help
