Installation

For Developers

You need the Claude Code CLI (claude command) installed. That’s it.

Option A: Plugin marketplace (recommended)

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add sebastiangrebe/tandemu
/plugin install tandemu
/reload-plugins

Exit and reopen Claude Code, then run:

/tandemu:setup

After setup completes, exit and reopen Claude Code once more to activate the memory server.

If the /tandemu:setup command doesn’t appear, try exiting and reopening Claude Code first, then run it.

The setup skill will:

1. Ask whether you’re connecting to Tandemu Cloud or a self-hosted instance
2. Open your browser for authentication
3. Configure telemetry, permissions, and memory
4. Install utility skills (/morning, /finish, /pause, /standup, /create)
5. Set up the MCP memory server for persistent context

After that, open any project and run /morning to get started.

Option B: Install script

If you prefer a bash script (useful for scripted onboarding or CI/CD):

./install.sh

Run from the Tandemu repo directory. Same result as the plugin setup.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI — Install Claude Code 
• python3 — for configuration (pre-installed on macOS/Linux)
• curl — for downloading (pre-installed on macOS/Linux)

Re-authenticate

If your token expires or you need to switch organizations:

• Plugin: run /tandemu:setup again
• Script: run ./install.sh again

Both detect existing config and re-authorize.

Manage installation

./install.sh --check       # Check for updates
./install.sh --uninstall   # Remove all Tandemu files

For Platform Administrators
