2026-02-23 Session Notes

Install Flow Problem & Solution Planning

The session identified a critical gap in Signet's user onboarding: when users send their AI agents (OpenClaw, ClawdBot, OpenCode) to install from the website/repo alone, the agents get insufficient context about what Signet is, resulting in confused installations and incorrect setup.

Proposed solution: Create a URL-based skill.md file (hosted at signetai.sh/skill.md) that agents can consume via a simple copyable prompt pattern: "Install Signet AI, the open agent memory, identity and secrets system: https://signetai.sh/skill.md"

Key clarifications gathered:

  • Supported installation methods: ONLY npm install -g signetai and bun add -g signetai (NOT npx signet init, which was never an install command)
  • Must support all existing connectors: OpenClaw, ClawdBot, OpenCode
  • Skill file limited to 500 lines maximum
  • Content should cover: what Signet is, what it isn't, how it works, and step-by-step installation
  • Design for the dumbest possible user interaction pattern

No implementation started yet; session focused on requirements gathering and clarification.
