+Claude Code users β bonus skills
+
+Continuum ships a set of [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skills so your IDE's Claude can invoke continuum operations without leaving the editor. Opt-in: `install.sh` drops them into `~/.claude/skills/` only if Claude Code is detected β otherwise silent no-op.
+
+| Skill | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `/continuum:update` | Pull latest images, refresh forged Qwen (`--dev` flag for source rebuild) |
+| `/continuum:status` | Show containers, personas, DMR backend, grid nodes |
+| `/continuum:doctor` | Diagnose install + runtime problems, narrow to the root cause |
+| `/continuum:chat @ ` | Send a message to a continuum persona from your IDE |
+
+**Why this matters for devs**: the dev who's already coding in Claude Code gets continuum as a nearby `/command`, not a context switch. The long-term direction is continuum's own persona layer replaces the Claude-Code-as-IDE pattern entirely, but for the transition period this is how a dev using both systems gets them to talk to each other.
+
+Continuum does NOT require Claude Code. Carl (end-user) uses the widget. Skills are purely additive for the dev audience.

Fix: pipe a PAT into `docker login` from inside WSL, which stores creds inline in `config.json` instead of delegating: `echo '' \| docker login ghcr.io -u --password-stdin`.

+- **Permission denied on `~/.continuum/sockets/*` from the host user:** Docker containers run as root by default, so files they create in the bind-mounted `~/.continuum/` directory end up root-owned and unreadable by your normal user account. Symptom: CLI commands like `./jtag ping` fail with `EACCES: permission denied` even though the services are healthy. Fix:
+ ```bash
+ # Reclaim ownership (run as your normal user, not root)

+### Continuum skills for Claude Code (dev-only, opt-in)
+
+If you use [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) as your IDE, `install.sh` drops a set of Continuum skills into `~/.claude/skills/` so you can invoke Continuum operations as `/commands` without leaving the editor. Silent no-op if you don't have Claude Code β Continuum's core functionality is entirely independent.
+
+| Skill | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `/continuum:update` | Pull latest images + refresh forged Qwen in DMR (`--dev` flag = rebuild from source) |
+| `/continuum:status` | Containers + personas + DMR backend + grid nodes + widget URL |
+| `/continuum:doctor` | Diagnose install/runtime problems, narrow to the root cause |
+| `/continuum:chat @ ` | Send a message to a Continuum persona from the IDE; reply comes back through the chat log |
+
+**Direction**: these skills are the bridge for devs currently in Claude Code. Continuum's own persona layer replaces the need for them over time β the steady state is "you just talk to personas in the widget." But while devs are on both systems, skills let the two talk cleanly.

+---
+
+# Send to a Continuum Persona
+
+This skill wraps the `continuum cli` β `collaboration/chat/send` command so a dev in Claude Code can ping a continuum persona without switching to the widget.
+
+## Parse the invocation
+
+First arg starts with `@` β target persona name. Rest is the message body.
+
+Examples:
+- `/continuum:chat @helper how should I structure this module?` β persona=`helper`, msg=`how should I structure this module?`
+- `/continuum:chat @codereview look at the diff I just made` β persona=`codereview`, msg=`look at the diff I just made`
+
+If no `@persona` β broadcast to the General room (reasonable default).
+
+## Send via the CLI
+
+Continuum's CLI supports `jtag` passthrough for internal commands. For chat:
+
+```bash
+continuum cli collaboration/chat/send --room=general --message=""
+```
+
+Or for a specific persona, you can let the room's autoResponds behavior pick it up β most default rooms have 4 personas that auto-reply when the message is directed at them. `@helper` in the message body triggers Helper AI's attention.
+
+## Report the outcome
+
+After sending, wait ~5-15 seconds and then fetch the reply:
+
+```bash
+continuum cli collaboration/chat/export --room=General --limit=5
+```
+
+Export the last few messages and show the user the persona's reply. Don't dump the whole chat history β just the new reply.
+
+## When to use
+
+- Dev is mid-coding, hits a question that their local persona has context for (persona has trained on the codebase, or has a LoRA for this domain, or has persistent memory of prior discussions).
+- Quick sanity check β "hey CodeReview, does this look right?" without leaving the IDE.
+- Multi-agent collaboration β the dev's Claude Code + the user's continuum persona can discuss via the mesh.
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- For actually browsing chat history / managing rooms β open the widget.
+- For setting up the persona initially β that's done in the widget / via `data/update` CLI.
+- When continuum isn't running. The skill should `continuum status` first if it's unsure, and tell the user "continuum isn't running β `continuum start` first" rather than hanging on a silent send.
+
+## Long-term direction
+
+This skill exists because the user is still in Claude Code AND running continuum on the side. The steady-state is: continuum's own persona layer replaces Claude Code for most workflows. At that point this skill is obsolete β you just type in the widget.
+
+For now, it's the bridge: an IDE Claude talks to a continuum persona directly, without the user screen-sharing their continuum widget into a Claude Code conversation.
+
+## Related
+
+- `/continuum:status` β is it running + which personas are up
+- `/airc:send` β same pattern but for the peer-AI mesh (airc) not continuum's internal rooms
+- `/continuum:update` β if continuum hasn't been pulled recently
+
+## Notes
+
+The CLI under the hood is `jtag`-based; continuum's `cli` subcommand passes through to `./jtag `. All real work is in the data/chat-send command in the repo. The skill just picks the args and summarizes the reply.

+
+# Continuum Doctor
+
+Run the diagnostic, read the output, name the root cause β don't just relay it.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+continuum doctor
+```
+
+The CLI checks: submodules initialized, IPC sockets present, backend cuda-vs-cpu, scheduler-vs-llama-server, cloud keys, disk free, DMR reachability.
+
+## Interpret + narrow the root cause
+
+The output usually has multiple β and one or two β / β . Focus the user on what actually matters:
+
+**Common patterns you'll see + the right remediation prose:**
+
+- **`DMR backend: latest-cpu`** (Mac or Linux+Nvidia with GPU present) β "Docker Desktop β Settings β AI β check 'Enable GPU-backed inference'. Without this, inference runs on CPU even with a GPU. Then `continuum update` to refresh."
+
+- **`Host-side TCP: closed`** (continuum-core can't reach DMR) β "Docker Desktop β Settings β AI β check 'Enable host-side TCP support' (port 12434). Without this, containers can't reach DMR."
+
+- **`Qwen3.5 not in DMR catalog`** β "Run `docker model pull hf.co/continuum-ai/qwen3.5-4b-code-forged-GGUF` β this is what the default personas route to. Install should have done this but on re-runs it can skip."
+
+- **`Submodules not initialized`** β "Run `git submodule update --init --recursive` from the repo root. Usually happens when the repo was downloaded as a ZIP instead of cloned."
+
+- **`IPC socket not present: /root/.continuum/sockets/continuum-core.sock`** β "continuum-core hasn't started or crashed. Check `continuum logs continuum-core` for the error. Classic: missing CUDA toolkit, OOM at model load, or port binding conflict."
+
+- **`Disk free < 10GB`** β "Low disk; model pulls + docker layer cache will fail. Prune with `docker system prune -a` and reconsider which variants you need."
+
+- **`AIProviderDaemon: stuck N seconds since last success`** β "Usually a FALSE positive if chats are working β it's a heartbeat metric, not a real failure. Verify by sending a chat. If chats ALSO hang, then it's real."
+
+## When there's nothing to diagnose
+
+If everything's green, say so plainly: "All checks pass. If you're still hitting a problem, describe the user-facing symptom (what the widget shows, what chat does) β I can look at that angle."
+
+## Related
+
+- `/continuum:update` β re-pull images if version mismatch is the cause
+- `/continuum:status` β see what's currently running
+- `docs/SETUP.md` β per-OS sections β the failure modes are documented there in `if X then Y` shape
+
+## Notes
+
+The CLI's `doctor` output is designed to be machine-parseable AND human-readable. Your job is to cut through the wall of checks and surface the ONE thing the user probably cares about. Never say "I see several issues" without naming which matters β that's useless.

+Don't just dump the output. Tell the user what matters:
+
+- **All containers healthy, widget URL reachable** β "Continuum is running at X. Open it to chat with personas, or use `/continuum:chat @ ` from here."

+- **Nothing running** β "Not started. Run `continuum start` (or click the continuum tray icon if installed)."
+- **Grid nodes visible** β mention them briefly, don't flood the output.
+
+## When to suggest follow-ups
+
+- Unhealthy node-server β `continuum logs node-server` then `/continuum:doctor`
+- DMR backend shown as `latest-cpu` instead of `latest-metal` / `latest-cuda` β point the user at `docs/SETUP.md` for the Docker Desktop AI toggle

+name: continuum:update
+description: Update a Continuum installation to latest. Default is Carl-path (pull prebuilt images from ghcr, ~30s). Pass --dev to rebuild from source.
+user-invocable: true
+allowed-tools: Bash
+argument-hint: "[--dev]"
+---
+
+# Update Continuum
+
+Do it yourself β don't ask the user to run commands they'd run manually anyway. The only reason to fall back to "tell the user to type this" is if `continuum` isn't on PATH.
+
+## 1. Verify continuum is installed
+
+```bash
+command -v continuum >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "continuum CLI not on PATH. Install: curl -fsSL continuum.homes/install | bash"; exit 1; }
+```
+
+## 2. Run the update
+
+The CLI already handles the Carl vs Dev split β you don't need to pre-decide. Just pass through the user's args (or none).
+
+**Default (Carl path β pull prebuilt images from ghcr, ~30s):**
+```bash
+continuum update
+```
+
+**Dev path (rebuild from source β slower, needed when touching Rust/TS source):**
+```bash
+continuum update --dev
+```
+
+## 3. Report the outcome
+
+When the update completes (or fails), summarize in user-facing language:
+
+**On success:**
+> "Continuum updated. Latest images pulled, services restarted. Run `continuum status` to verify, or `continuum doctor` if anything looks off."
+
+**On failure (Carl path):**
+> "Image pull failed. If you're on a dev machine and want to rebuild from source instead, run `continuum update --dev`. Otherwise paste the error above and I'll diagnose."
+
+**On failure (Dev path):**
+> "Build failed. Read the compiler output above β most common causes: out-of-disk, submodule not initialized (run `git submodule update --init --recursive`), missing system dep (libvulkan / nvcc / cmake)."
+
+## 4. When to suggest --dev vs default
+
+The user usually wants the default (fast pull). Only suggest `--dev` when:
+
+- They just `git pull`'d source changes and want them live (the `continuum update` default does `git pull` too but only pulls prebuilt images, so source changes require rebuild).
+- `continuum update` failed with an image-pull error AND the user said they're actively developing.
+
+Don't suggest `--dev` to a Carl-level user. It's a 30+ minute rebuild they don't need and will think is broken.
+
+## 5. When to NOT run update
+
+- If the user is in the middle of a live chat session with personas, tell them the update requires a service restart and ask if they want to wait.
+- If `continuum status` shows the system isn't currently running, just run the update (no live sessions to protect) and tell them to `continuum start` after.
+
+## 6. Related skills
+
+- `/continuum:doctor` β diagnose issues post-update
+- `/continuum:status` β see what's running, which images, GPU backend
+- `/airc:connect` β pair into a mesh if you need help from a peer AI during the update
+
+## Notes
+
+- The `continuum` CLI source lives in the repo at `bin/continuum`. `continuum update` is the same binary the user runs manually; this skill is just the AI-invocable wrapper that lets Claude Code drive the update without context-switching to a terminal.
+- The CLI itself handles `--help`: `continuum update --help` prints the Carl-vs-Dev distinction.
