Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

• A Kobiton account - sign up at kobiton.com if you don't have one
• A supported AI assistant - install Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, or Cursor (CLI or IDE)
• A project directory - your AI assistant must launch from a workspace, not from your home folder

Installation

Claude Code

Open your project and start a Claude Code session:

cd my-project
claude

Inside the session, add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
/plugin install automate@kobiton

GitHub Copilot CLI

Open your project and start a Copilot CLI session:

cd my-project
copilot

Inside the session, add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
/plugin install automate@kobiton

Gemini CLI

From your project directory, install the extension directly from GitHub:

cd my-project
gemini extensions install https://github.com/kobiton/automate

Then launch Gemini CLI:

gemini

The kobiton MCP server and bundled skills are auto-discovered. Confirm the extension is active with /extensions list and the MCP server with /mcp.

Codex CLI

Add the Kobiton marketplace and install the plugin from the in-session browser. Codex opens a browser for Kobiton OAuth login on the first tool call.

codex plugin marketplace add kobiton/automate
codex

Inside Codex:

1. Type /plugins to open the plugin browser
2. Select the kobiton marketplace, then install the automate plugin
3. The system browser should open for Kobiton OAuth login. After sign-in, tokens are cached in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service / Windows Credential Manager) with automatic refresh.
4. Run /mcp to confirm kobiton is Connected.
