// 5-minute install path

From `npx 0dai-cli` to your first PR scan in 5 minutes.

Free, no card. The 0dai CLI is a single npm package. Init writes a project layer your agents read; run with --now produces a scored receipt you can share with a reviewer. Source code never leaves your machine.

Install the CLI

0:00 – 0:30

The 0dai CLI is one npm package. Install it globally and you can run every command below from any repo on your machine.

$ npm install -g @0dai-dev/cli
$ 0dai --version

0dai CLI is on your PATH. Source stays on your machine.

Init the project layer (no account)

0:30 – 1:30

Run init from the root of any repo. 0dai detects your stack, your installed agent CLIs, and writes a CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .mcp.json scaffold into an ai/ directory you own. No signup, no cloud call.

$ cd your-project
$ 0dai init --local

ai/ + native agent configs in place. Repo is self-describing.

Run doctor — verify the layer

1:30 – 2:00

0dai doctor is a 30-second health check for the project layer. It reads ai/, checks every supported agent CLI, and reports what is wired and what is missing.

$ 0dai doctor

You see a green receipt: ai/ layer, agent config, receipt pipeline all ok.

Run one task locally

2:00 – 4:00

0dai run with --now executes one small task with your installed agent CLI and writes a scored receipt. No swarm fleet, no account. Use it on a real bug or test gap so the receipt is something a human can review.

$ 0dai run "add a test for the auth module" --now

ai/runs/ now has a scored receipt you can read and share.

Activate free (optional, adds the network)

4:00 – 5:00

If you want cross-project pattern sync, model routing data, and the Friday digest, claim the free no-card activation. Local memory stays in your repo either way — cancel removes only the cloud layer.

$ 0dai auth login
$ 0dai activate free

Free plan active. Network features become available. Repo layer unchanged.

After the 5 minutes

You have an ai/ layer, a scored receipt, and an honest install path. Three places to read next, depending on what you want to verify before you ship:
