What is Installation?

What this skill does

The Installation skill provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for setting up Loki Mode across multiple environments, including Claude Code CLI, Claude.ai web interface, and the Anthropic API Console. It covers three installation options—git clone, download from releases, and a minimal curl-based method—tailored to different user needs and project scopes. The skill ensures proper file placement and verification to confirm successful setup.

Who it's for

This skill is designed for performance marketers and growth leads who need to integrate Loki Mode into their automated workflows with minimal friction. SEO or PPC operators managing multiple projects will benefit from the project-specific installation options to keep environments clean and organized. Agency strategists deploying Loki Mode for clients can choose from the full or minimal installs depending on the complexity of the use case.

Key workflows

First, practitioners decide on the installation method based on their environment: cloning directly into the global or project-specific skills directory for full functionality, downloading pre-packaged releases for the web or API console, or using the minimal curl option for essential files only. Next, they follow precise commands or UI steps to place the skill files correctly, ensuring the right folder structure as required by the platform. Verification follows, typically involving checking the presence and content of the SKILL.md file or running a simple recognition test in Claude. Finally, troubleshooting common issues such as unrecognized skills or permission errors involves path checks and restarts.

Common questions

How do I verify the skill installed correctly on Claude Code? You check that the SKILL.md file exists in the expected directory and contains the correct YAML frontmatter. Can I install Loki Mode for just one project without affecting others? Yes, by cloning the skill into the project’s local `.claude/skills` directory rather than the global path. What’s the trade-off of using the minimal install? It excludes examples, tests, and the autonomous runner, limiting full functionality but saving space and complexity.

How to use in Metaflow

Attach the Installation skill to your Metaflow agent task by specifying the appropriate Loki Mode package for your target environment—CLI, web, or API console. Once deployed, expect the skill to manage setup, including file placement and verification steps, reducing manual overhead. This ensures that downstream tasks reliant on Loki Mode can execute smoothly without installation errors, enabling streamlined automation workflows.
