What problem does it solve?
It solves the one-time setup burden required to run NoUI reliably, including creating the Python environment, installing dependencies, configuring required environment variables, and loading the Chrome extension.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic environment setup: Creates a Python 3.11+ virtual environment and installs dependencies via Poetry with
--no-root, avoiding common packaging pitfalls.
- Correct NoUI configuration: Guides copying
.env.example to .env and setting required keys like ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and Tabby-related variables for authenticated workflows.
- Extension-first workflow readiness: Instructs users to load the NoUI Chrome extension in Developer mode so the recorder is available before running any other skill.
Quick Start
Start by running the setup verification command .venv/bin/python cli/main.py status after creating the venv, installing dependencies, loading the extension, and configuring .env.
