anlyon-setup

The Agent Skill that adds Anlyon to a project: it runs anlyon init to sign you in, write a key to .env, install the SDK, connect the MCP server and make a governed call, with manual steps when it cannot.

anlyon-setup teaches your coding agent to add Anlyon to a codebase. It starts with anlyon init, which does the whole setup from the terminal, and stops at the steps a person takes: signing in, a provider’s consent page, a sign-off, payment.

What it teaches

Start with anlyon init. One command signs you in, writes an agent key to .env without printing it, keeps .env* out of git, installs the SDK, adds the MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, and makes a governed call. The agent reads the JSON report and gives you the receipt id, and hands you any link that needs you.
Guardrails in the repository. anlyon pull, plan and apply keep actions, policies, limits and budgets in anlyon.yaml.
Whose accounts the agent acts in, and where to go next: your users’ own accounts lead to anlyon-end-users, your company’s accounts stay here, and a coding agent that should call actions itself gets the MCP setup.
Keys, kept apart. An operator key that stores credentials and defines actions, an agent key with the Standard preset, and, for a product, a server key that requires an end user. Each in an environment variable, never in code, logs or chat.
Installing @anlyonhq/sdk, anlyon (Python) or @anlyonhq/ai-sdk.
A startup check with auth.requireScopes, so a key with a missing or forbidden scope fails before the agent runs.
A test governed action against an echo endpoint, invoked with the agent key, with its receipt read back: succeeded, graded acknowledged.
A rules block appended to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/anlyon.mdc or .github/copilot-instructions.md.

When it loads

Its description tells the agent to use it when you want to add Anlyon to a project, install the SDK, choose or check API keys and scopes, connect Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to the Anlyon MCP server, or make a test governed call.

Try it

Add Anlyon to this repo.

Add Anlyon to this repo. Our support agent should update GitHub issues through Anlyon instead of calling the GitHub API directly.

Check whether the key in ANLYON_AGENT_KEY can invoke actions and does not hold any operator scopes.

Connect Cursor to Anlyon’s MCP server for this project, without putting a key in the repo.

With anlyon init, the agent creates the key for you after you sign in and writes it to .env. Without it, the agent asks you to create the keys in the console and set the variables. Either way it never asks you to paste a key into the chat.
