Install & first project

Install (once, any machine)

/plugin marketplace add INERATE/atelier
/plugin install atelier

Restart Claude Code once — plugins load at session start. Verify with /atelier:status.

Staying current: run /plugin update atelier when you like, or flip auto-update on once: /plugin → Marketplaces → atelier-marketplace → Enable auto-update. Third-party marketplaces are off by default.

First project

/atelier:bootstrap

One shot: creates workspace/, initializes the SQLite store (rules, registry, framework map), probes your environment (Python, Node, ffmpeg, media credentials), and reports what’s available. Run it once per project.

The loop

Step	Command	What happens
1	/atelier:plan <goal>	Architect (Opus) reads everything, asks unknowns once, writes the plan + done-criteria into the store
2	/atelier:build	Builder (Sonnet) executes task by task; design-scout studies premium component source in parallel for UI work
3	/atelier:review	Gates: design tokens only, ≤250 words/file, ponytail, graph impact — evidence recorded per criterion
4	/atelier:ship	Final verification of the whole contract; refuses if anything is unmet

Anytime: /atelier:status shows the active plan and unmet criteria — including after a restart or compaction; a session hook restores context automatically.

Credentials (optional, for AI media)

Put keys in the project .env (gitignored — never in the store): GOOGLE_API_KEY for the public Gemini API, or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS + GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT + GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION for Vertex. No credentials is fine — media generation degrades to a paste-ready prompt, never an error.
