Install codebase-coffee for Claude Code

Add the codebase-coffee marketplace, install its plugin, and let Claude Code offer a short morning refresher—or run `/codebase-coffee` whenever you choose.

Use EraCode. Less ErrorCode.

Why install it in Claude Code

Claude Code can host codebase-coffee as a marketplace plugin in the same terminal workflow where you inspect and change a repository. The daily brief stays tied to that repo rather than drifting into generic advice.

The Claude Code integration can offer coffee in the morning. Accept when you have a minute, dismiss when you do not, or invoke the skill yourself later in the day.

Add the marketplace and plugin

Run these slash commands in Claude Code. The first registers the codebase-coffee marketplace; the second installs the plugin from it.

  • /plugin marketplace add RMPasta/codebase-coffee
  • /plugin install codebase-coffee@codebase-coffee

Take the morning offer or start manually

After installation, open the repository you want to learn. Claude Code may offer a morning coffee automatically. You can also run `/codebase-coffee` at any time instead of waiting for the offer.

On first use, the skill scans the repo and writes `.codebase-coffee.md` with a ranked personal curriculum. Later sessions choose one unserved concept, deliver a brief with file pointers, and record that it was covered.

Install in another host

If you also work in [Cursor](/codebase-coffee/install/cursor) or [Codex](/codebase-coffee/install/codex), install the skill separately for that host. Those integrations use the skills CLI and start coffee manually.

The [install overview](/codebase-coffee/install) keeps every command in one place. Read [how it works](/codebase-coffee/how-it-works) for the curriculum scan, teammate queue-jump, and optional deeper walkthrough.

Inspect the plugin source and current release notes on GitHub.

Good to know

The morning auto-offer is specific to Claude Code. It is an offer, not a forced session, and you can always start coffee manually with `/codebase-coffee`.

Cursor, Codex, and other Agent Skills hosts do not get the Claude Code morning offer; coffee starts manually there.
