Plugins

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 these two commands once in your terminal — the first registers the marketplace, the second installs the plugin and its skills:

/plugin marketplace add gaspatchio/gaspatchio
/plugin install gaspatchio@gaspatchio

Agent Plugins is a preview feature — enable it with "chat.plugins.enabled": true first. Then add the gaspatchio marketplace to your settings.json:

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

Open the Extensions view, filter with @agentPlugins, and install gaspatchio.

Cursor isn't on the plugin marketplace yet, so install the skills directly:

npx skills add gaspatchio/gaspatchio

On Windows, add --copy — symlinks need Developer Mode:

npx skills add gaspatchio/gaspatchio --copy

(Cursor only auto-detects .cursor-plugin/ inside the gaspatchio repository itself; for your own model project, use the command above.)

For any agent that supports the Agent Skills standard:

npx skills add gaspatchio/gaspatchio

On Windows, add --copy — symlinks need Developer Mode.

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

Verify It Works

Run a quick check from the terminal:

gspio tutorial list

If you see 5 tutorial levels, the framework is installed. Then open your editor and describe a task:

"I just installed gaspatchio. Help me get started."

If the response uses gspio tutorial init to set up a tutorial model, the plugin is working.
