Install and set up ConnectOnion on Windows, macOS, or Linux, initialize global credentials, and verify the requested CLI capabilities. Use for "install connectonion", "set up connectonion", "get me started with co", or missing installation/configuration. Project scaffolding requires an explicit project path.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Install ConnectOnion Skill

Take a machine from nothing to a setup where **every `co` command works** — `co status`,
`co email`, `co browser`, the `co/*` models, all of it — on whatever OS the person uses.
Then tell them, in plain words, exactly what they have.

**Assume the person running this may not be technical.** They may not know what a "virtual
environment", "PATH", or "API key" is — that's fine. Do the technical work *for* them and
keep them informed in friendly, jargon-free language. Never dump a raw stack trace; turn
every problem into "here's what happened and here's what I'm doing about it."

## How to run this skill

1. **Work on the user's real OS.** Windows, macOS, and Linux differ in command names and
   shells — do Step 0 first and use the right ones. Don't assume `python3`, `grep`, or the
   `bash` tool exist everywhere.
2. **Verify every step before moving on** — each has a check; run it.
3. **Auto-correct instead of giving up.** On failure, don't paste the error — diagnose,
   apply the *Recovery* fix, retry (up to 2 attempts) before escalating.
4. **Only ask the human for things only a human can do** — installing Python, adding
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openonion/connectonion/install-connectonion@sha256:fa407d8f3171964c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.aab1687, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
