Set Up Your AI Toolkit

Install the gaspatchio plugin in your editor. This takes 2 minutes and only needs to be done once.

Prerequisites

Before you start, confirm you have:

  • Gaspatchio installed — uv add gaspatchio or pip install gaspatchio
  • One of these editors: Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, or Cursor

Install the Plugin

Run this command once in your terminal:

/plugin marketplace add opioinc/gaspatchio-core

Search for @agentPlugins gaspatchio in the VS Code extensions panel, or add this to your settings.json:

{
  "chat.plugins.marketplaces": ["opioinc/gaspatchio-core"]
}

Preview feature

Requires "chat.plugins.enabled": true. Agent Plugins is in preview as of March 2026.

No manual installation needed. Open any gaspatchio project — Cursor auto-detects the plugin from the .cursor-plugin/ directory.

For any agent that supports the Agent Skills standard:

npx skills add gaspatchio/gaspatchio-core

Clone the repository locally. Your editor will auto-detect the plugin directories when you open the project.

Verify It Works

Open your editor inside a gaspatchio project and describe a task:

"I want to build a term life projection model."

If the response references gaspatchio patterns, assumption tables, or the tutorial levels, the plugin is working.
