Overview

Add a Deno-native installer as the default installation path, replacing the need for GNU Stow. Users can now install configurations with a single deno run command without cloning the repository.

Changes

New Files

• install.ts — Deno-based installer script with the following features:

  • --tool=<claude|opencode|gemini|all> for selecting which tool configs to install
  • --skill=<name>[,<name>] for selective component installation
  • --interactive for interactive checkbox picker
  • --dry-run to preview changes without writing
  • --yes to skip confirmation prompts
  • --mode=repo to display clone+stow instructions for power users
  • Diff display and per-file confirmation on conflicts
  • Idempotent — safe to re-run; unchanged files are skipped

• manifest.json — Static index of all installable components per tool, mapping source files to destination paths. Supports 3 tools × ~20 components each.

• thoughts/adriel/plans/01-deno-install-support.md — Implementation plan with design decisions and testing strategy.

Updated Files

• README.md
  • Quick Start now leads with Deno install (no git clone required)
  • Stow-based setup moved to new "Advanced: Repo / Power-User Mode" section
  • Added Deno installation instructions and private repo auth note
  • Included examples: dry-run, selective skills, interactive mode, all-tools install

Installation Examples

Backward Compatibility

Existing setup.sh + GNU Stow workflow is preserved and available via --mode=repo for users who prefer symlink-based management.
