Get started

Install Rusl

Install the CLI, optionally add the Agent Kit for Claude Code, then point your project at the schemas it depends on.

Install the CLI

The CLI resolves and vendors your schema dependencies, manages the lockfile, and handles authenticated writes. Install it with your platform's package manager:

Homebrew

brew install rusl-labs/tap/rusl

macOS and Linux

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/rusl-labs/rusl-cli/releases/latest/download/rusl-installer.sh | sh

Windows

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/rusl-labs/rusl-cli/releases/latest/download/rusl-installer.ps1 | iex"

Verify the install

rusl --help

Reading the registry is open; the next step signs you in for writes.

The Agent Kit

The Claude Code plugin wires Rusl into a session: it auto-registers the MCP server (no separate config) and adds skills and hooks.

Install it in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add rusl-labs/rusl-agent-kit
/plugin install rusl

Skills

/rusl:resolve: Load a schema's context, examples, and provenance before you define or change a shape.
/rusl:reuse: Find and install a canonical bundle before hand-authoring a new concept.
/rusl:feedback: After schema work, search, endorse, then contribute new evidence.
/rusl:proposals: Author, iterate on, and review schema proposals.

Connect your project

Declare the schemas and bundles your project depends on in rusl.bundle.toml, then resolve them:

rusl.bundle.toml

[rusl.resources]
"rusl/bundles/feedback-schemas" = "~>0.1"
"rusl/schemas/common" = "~>0.1"

Resolve and vendor

rusl add rusl/bundles/feedback-schemas
rusl install
rusl tree
