Install codebase-coffee in your agent
codebase-coffee is an open-source developer tool by EraCode. Add the skill once, open a repo, and start your daily refresher from the agent you already use.
Use EraCode. Less ErrorCode.
Before you install
codebase-coffee runs inside your coding agent as an Agent Skill—not inside the EraCode web app. You need a repo checked out locally; the skill reads that codebase and writes `.codebase-coffee.md` at its root.
After install, run coffee from the project you are working in. See [how it works](/codebase-coffee/how-it-works) if you want the scan-and-brief flow before your first session.
Latest releases and the skill source are on GitHub.
Cursor
From your project directory (or wherever you manage agent skills), run:
- npx skills add RMPasta/codebase-coffee --agent cursor -y
- Omit `-g` for a project-local install; add `-g` if you want the skill globally (also documented in the repo README)
- Start coffee with `/codebase-coffee` or ask for your daily codebase refresher
Claude Code
Add the marketplace plugin, then install the skill:
- /plugin marketplace add RMPasta/codebase-coffee
- /plugin install codebase-coffee@codebase-coffee
- Claude Code may offer a morning coffee automatically; you can also run `/codebase-coffee` anytime
Codex and other Agent Skills hosts
For Codex, use the skills CLI with the codex agent target:
- npx skills add RMPasta/codebase-coffee --agent codex -y
- Start coffee manually with `/codebase-coffee` or by asking for today's refresher
After install
Open the repo you want to learn, run coffee once, and let the first scan build your curriculum. The first session takes about a minute while the skill maps concepts; daily sessions after that stay short.
Pair coffee with [EraCode daily challenges](/features/daily-challenges) when you want literacy refreshers plus deliberate practice in one loop—see [codebase-coffee and EraCode](/topics/codebase-coffee-and-eracode).

Good to know
Morning auto-offer works in Claude Code today. In Cursor, Codex, and other Agent Skills hosts, you start coffee yourself (for example /codebase-coffee).
Use project-local install unless you want the skill available in every workspace; the GitHub README also documents a global `-g` flag for Cursor.
