What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the frustration of manually configuring the Bifrost SDK, CLI, authentication, and MCP server across different operating systems, which often have unique setup requirements and common edge cases that break standard installation processes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-Platform Setup Support: Handles installation prerequisites and configuration for Windows (native PowerShell, WSL2), macOS, and Linux, with OS-specific guidance for Python, pipx, and Docker where needed.
- State-Aware Setup Flow: Checks your current Bifrost installation status and resumes from the appropriate step (SDK install, login, or MCP configuration) instead of repeating completed steps.
- Built-In Troubleshooting: Includes fixes for common Windows issues like symlink misconfigurations, winget errors, Microsoft Store Python alias conflicts, and JSON escaping problems in PowerShell.
- Use Case: A new Bifrost user on Windows can run this Skill to get the CLI installed, log in to their company's Bifrost instance, and connect Claude Code to Bifrost's tools without manually researching OS-specific setup quirks.
