Install
One command. Every supported AI coding tool.
The installer detects which AI coding tool you’re using and writes the right bundle. Spruce works in all five major AI coding tools today: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, VS Code (with GitHub Copilot), and Gemini CLI.
The install command
Run this in any project. The installer finds your AI coding tool and writes the right bundle to the right place.
No flags needed for the common case. Pass --tool=claude-code (or the matching identifier) to install for a specific tool without auto-detection.

Per tool
What Spruce becomes inside each tool.
Every harness loads skills differently. The installer handles that for you; these tabs explain what shipped (or what’s planned) so you know what to expect.
What you get
Spruce installs as 25 slash commands plus 25 self-contained skills (one per command). The slash commands appear alongside Claude Code’s built-ins; the skills load automatically and give Claude design reasoning across the seven dimensions plus the Discovery foundation.
Where files land
Global install: ~/.claude/commands/ and ~/.claude/skills/<command>/. Project install: .claude/commands/ and .claude/skills/<command>/. The installer asks once.
How to invoke
Type /in any Claude Code prompt. Every Spruce command appears alongside Claude Code’s built-ins, ready to run.
Verify it worked
Run /spruce-up— Claude should walk you through the short context-file interview. If it does, you’re set.
First command to try
After installing
Walk through the workflow.
Set context, ground the work in users, generate calibrated design, refine and review. Five beats end-to-end.
