Setting Up Granary

Use this skill when the user asks you to set up granary in their project.

1. Check Installation

First, verify granary is installed:

Copywhich granary

If not installed, direct the user to install it:

Copy# macOS/Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielkov/granary/main/install.sh | sh

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielkov/granary/main/install.ps1 | iex

2. Initialize Workspace

Initialize granary in the project directory:

Copygranary init

This creates a .granary/ directory with the SQLite database.

3. Verify Setup

Check that granary is working:

Copygranary doctor

Done

Granary is now ready. The user can:

• Create projects with granary projects create "Project Name" --description "..."
• Create tasks with granary project <id> tasks create "Task title" --description "..."
• Start sessions with granary session start "session-name"
