What system dependencies are required?

You must have cmake, make, and a C++ compiler (such as g++ or clang++) installed on your machine to use this skill.

What is the primary purpose of cc-soul-setup?

It is designed to build the chitta and chittad binaries from source code, ensuring they are properly installed and configured in your local environment.

Where does this skill install the compiled binaries?

All binaries are installed to the ~/.claude/bin/ directory for seamless integration with other Claude plugins.

Does this skill manage background processes?

Yes, it automatically stops any running chitta daemons before beginning the build process to ensure a clean installation.

What should I do if I don't have cmake installed?

If your system lacks build tools, the skill will suggest using the /cc-soul-update command to download pre-built binaries instead.

Developer Tools

Compiles and installs the chitta core binaries and embedding models from source code.

About

The Soul Source Builder (cc-soul-setup) provides a streamlined workflow for users needing to build the chitta and chittad binaries directly from their source. It automates the entire lifecycle of the setup process, including stopping active daemons, running the cmake build pipeline, and installing the resulting binaries into the standard Claude configuration directory. This skill is particularly useful for developers who require custom-built binaries optimized for their specific hardware architecture or those contributing to the cc-soul ecosystem.

Key Features

Automatic retrieval and configuration of required embedding models
0 GitHub stars
Smart daemon management to prevent conflicts during installation
Intelligent fallback detection for systems without build tools
Direct installation of binaries to the ~/.claude/bin/ directory
Automated C++ compilation using cmake and make

Use Cases

Initial environment setup for the chitta search and indexing engine
Compiling optimized binaries for specific CPU architectures
Manual updates to core AI components when pre-built binaries are unavailable
