Use this guide to install and apply Herodotus skills in your AI coding tools.

​
Quick Install

Run the installer — it auto-detects your tools and lets you pick which ones to set up: 
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash
Or skip the selector and target a specific tool directly: 
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --claude
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --cursor
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --codex
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --google
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --antigravity

​
Per-Tool Setup

Via the installer (global):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --claude
Or project-local:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HerodotusDev/ai-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --claude --project
Or via the plugin marketplace (inside Claude Code):
/plugin marketplace add HerodotusDev/ai-skills
/plugin install herodotus-skills@herodotus
Or via the Claude CLI:
claude plugin marketplace add HerodotusDev/ai-skills
claude plugin install herodotus-skills@herodotus
Then invoke any skill by name:
/herodotus-skills:herodotus           # start here — full stack overview
/herodotus-skills:atlantic-api
/herodotus-skills:data-processor
/herodotus-skills:storage-proof-api

​
Skill selection guide

  • Use Herodotus Full Stack AI Skill when you’re new or need the AI to understand the full stack and pick the right products.
  • Use Atlantic API AI Skill for proving job submission, lifecycle, and artifact handling.
  • Use Data Processor AI Skill for HDP module design and soundness-focused execution.
  • Use Data Processor API AI Skill for module/task orchestration through HTTP endpoints.
  • Use Storage Proof API AI Skill for proof requests and Satellite readback flows.
  • Use Satellite Contracts AI Skill for on-chain integration and contract-side read patterns.
  • Use Data Structure Indexer API AI Skill for accumulator/remapper discovery and proof-support data planning.
1) Discovery and planning
2) Apply the relevant skill page
3) Implement from embedded reference example
4) Validate against canonical sources and OpenAPI
5) Add retries/observability/fail-closed behavior

​
Multi-skill composition patterns

  • HDP + Indexer + Satellite: use indexer for candidate discovery, HDP for constrained validation, Satellite for trusted consumption.
  • Storage Proof + Satellite: submit proof jobs, wait for terminal success, then read via safe Satellite methods.
  • Data Processor API + Atlantic: use API orchestration for queued jobs, Atlantic for proving lifecycle and artifacts.

​
Safe usage rules

  • Treat OpenAPI as source of truth for request/response shapes.
  • Do not infer undocumented statuses, fields, chain support, or addresses.
  • Keep chain/environment explicit in every workflow.
  • Use safe-read methods and fail-closed policies for business decisions.
