Install a listing
The catalog catalogs official tools — harnesses, CLIs, MCP servers, memory engines, agents, skills, plugins, and loops. You discover them here; the Positronick CLI installs them from their source.
Registry types
- Harness — Agentic coding tools you run in your terminal — the agent loop itself.
- CLI — Official command-line tools for shipping and operating software.
- MCP — Official Model Context Protocol servers that give agents real tools.
- Memory — Memory and context engines/APIs for agents — persistent facts, profiles, and retrieval (not merely an MCP wrapper).
- Agent — Official SDKs and frameworks for building and running AI agents.
- Skill — Agent skills and methodology packs that upgrade your coding agent.
- Plugin — Official plugins that extend coding agents like Claude Code.
- Loop — Reusable agent loops — run a task, check an exit condition, and iterate until done.
1 — Install the CLI
$curl -fsSL https://positronick.com/install.sh | sh
2 — Install by type and slug
Replace <type> and <slug> with values from a catalog listing page. Most types take --run so the tool is wired and started when that makes sense; loops omit --run (they install as a kickoff prompt).
$positronick mcp install <slug> --run
$positronick skill install <slug> --run
$positronick loop install <slug>
Every listing page also shows a ready-to-copy install line (the page’s installCmd when the publisher set one, plus the CLI form above). Prefer the page command when you want the exact vendor install string.
