Vector Setup

Bootstraps [email protected] and its optional add-ons so every /vector subcommand actually works on first run.

Why this exists

Out of the box, several /vector subcommands fail with a confusing dep error:

Error	Missing package
`ONNX WASM files not bundled. The onnx/ directory is missing.`	`ruvector-onnx-embeddings-wasm`
`Brain commands require @ruvector/pi-brain`	`@ruvector/pi-brain`
`SONA not available. Native error: Cannot find module '/.../@ruvector/sona/index.js'`	`@ruvector/ruvllm` (JS fallback)
`LLM commands require @ruvector/ruvllm`	`@ruvector/ruvllm`

This skill installs them in one pass.

Steps

Pin ruvector:
bash
```
npm install [email protected]
```

Install the add-ons (idempotent — only what's missing):

bash

npm install ruvector-onnx-embeddings-wasm \
            @ruvector/pi-brain \
            @ruvector/ruvllm

For a leaner install, pass --full to also pull @ruvector/graph-node and @ruvector/router:

bash

npm install ruvector-onnx-embeddings-wasm \
            @ruvector/pi-brain \
            @ruvector/ruvllm \
            @ruvector/graph-node \
            @ruvector/router

Verify the binary:

bash

npx -y [email protected] doctor
npx -y [email protected] info

Register the MCP server:

bash

claude mcp add ruvector -- npx -y [email protected] mcp start
claude mcp list | grep ruvector

Sanity check the most common subcommands:

bash

npx -y [email protected] hooks route "test"
npx -y [email protected] attention list
npx -y [email protected] rvf examples

(Optional) Generate a pi identity for brain + edge:

bash

npx -y [email protected] identity generate
npx -y [email protected] identity show

Smoke test

For a deterministic verification of the install, run the plugin's bundled smoke script:

bash

bash plugins/ruflo-ruvector/scripts/smoke.sh

It checks: version pin, top-level subcommand visibility, hooks ast-analyze, hooks route, attention list, rvf examples, and info. Exits non-zero if any drift from the contracted surface is detected.

What this does not install

Native Rust toolchain (optional; only needed for source builds)
Platform-specific native bindings (auto-detected by @ruvector/core)
@ruvector/sona native binding (the JS fallback via @ruvector/ruvllm is sufficient on macOS arm64; Linux x64 has its own native binding)

If doctor still reports a problem after this skill runs, paste its output verbatim and ask.
