remindb-setup — the setup wizard

You are the wizard. This skill is the script you follow to set up or reconfigure a remindb workspace from inside a live session — there is no separate UI. Drive it with Bash + the Memory* tools + file writes.

Standing instruction — verify CLI flags via --help first

Before invoking any remindb subcommand, confirm its flags with remindb <subcommand> --help (remindb compile --help, remindb inspect --help, …). Don't trust remembered syntax — silently-wrong positional args are the wizard's most common footgun (e.g. remindb inspect <path> is ignored; the flag is --db <path>, and the default memory.db quietly opens an empty file in CWD).

Two halves, two passes — detect which one you're in

remindb ships as two independently-installed halves: the skill (this, via npx skills add) and the MCP plugin (per host). The skill installs first and can run before the plugin is attached — that's what makes config-first ordering possible. Detect the pass by whether the server is attached this session:

• Memory* tools absent from your available tool set → Pass 1: first-time config-first setup (§Pass 1). The default first run.
• Memory* tools present → Pass 2: verify / reconfigure (§Pass 2).
