Tutorial: from zero
Getting started
Your first CafeKit feature
A step-by-step guide from zero install to your first verified feature. Takes about 15 minutes.
Step 1 / 7
What you need before starting
CafeKit runs inside Claude Code — an AI coding assistant you control from your terminal. You type /hapo:* commands inside a Claude Code session, not in a regular terminal prompt.
You'll need three things ready. Once you have them, come back and click Next.
- Node.js 18 or later (check: node --version)
- A terminal open — Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows
- Claude Code installed (see links below — do NOT use sudo)
- An existing project folder to work in
terminal
$npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
