SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Installing the Amplicode plugin manually across multiple JetBrains IDEs is tedious and error-prone: you must locate each IDE installation, check whether the plugin is already present, handle running IDE instances that block installation, and use the correct JetBrains CLI invocation. This Skill automates detection, selection, and installation of the Amplicode plugin into IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate/Community) and GigaIDE. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cross-platform IDE detection: Runs Bash (macOS/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows) scripts that scan the system for IntelliJ-based IDEs and output a JSON list filtered to IDEA Ultimate, IDEA Community, and GigaIDE. - Smart filtering and selection: Skips IDEs where Amplicode is already installed and asks the user to pick targets when multiple candidates remain. - Running-IDE handling: Detects running IDE instances via their .pid files, offers a graceful quit-install-relaunch flow, and protects against killing the IDE that hosts the agent itself. - Use Case: A developer asks their AI assistant to "install the Amplicode plugin in my IDE". The assistant detects two IDEA installations, installs the plugin into both via installPlugins com.haulmont.amplicode, and instructs the user to click "Настроить Spring Agent" on the welcome screen to complete MCP configuration. ## Quick Start Ask your AI assistant to install the Amplicode plugin into your IntelliJ IDEA or GigaIDE installation.

Frequently Asked Questions about amplicode-install

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install the Amplicode plugin in IntelliJ IDEA?

Ask your AI assistant to install the Amplicode plugin. It runs a detection script to find your IDEA installations, then invokes the JetBrains CLI command installPlugins com.haulmont.amplicode with the Amplicode marketplace URL for each selected IDE.

Which JetBrains IDEs support the Amplicode plugin installation?

Only IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, IntelliJ IDEA Community, and GigaIDE are supported targets. Other JetBrains products such as GoLand, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, CLion, RubyMine, PhpStorm, and DataGrip are skipped by the detection scripts.

Does this skill configure the Amplicode MCP server?

No, it only installs the IDE plugin. MCP configuration happens when you open a project and click the "Настроить Spring Agent" button on the Amplicode welcome screen, which writes the MCP server config and installs spring-skills.

What happens if my IDE is running during plugin installation?

The JetBrains CLI fails when the IDE is running, so the skill offers to gracefully shut down the IDE via SIGTERM, install the plugin, and relaunch it. If the agent itself runs inside that IDE's terminal, it gives you manual instructions instead.

Why is the amplicode MCP server not visible after installation?

The MCP server appears only after you click "Настроить Spring Agent" on the Amplicode welcome screen in an open project, then restart your MCP client. Most clients read MCP configuration only at startup, so the new server is invisible in the current session.
