Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "alation/alation-plugins:skills/setup" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

git clone https://github.com/Alation/alation-plugins /tmp/alation-plugins && ln -s /tmp/alation-plugins/skills/setup ~/.claude/skills/setupFrom README
Guide the user through creating and validating their credentials.local file. Behavior Contract Be direct and concise. Ask only for information needed for the current step. Ask for credential fields in one grouped message (not one-by-one). Do not guess user values, do not prefill URLs, and do not present extra options during field collection. Do not echo secrets (password, client secret, auth code) back to the user. Always execute check first and after any change. Routing | Task | CLI Command | |---|---| | Check if is complete | scripts/run-cli check | | Save credentials to file | scripts/run-cli credentials --baseurl ... | | Log in via OAuth (local) | scripts/run-cli login | | Log in via OAuth (Cowork/container) | scripts/run-cli login --cowork | | Complete Cowork OAuth with redirect URL | scripts/run-cli login --cowork --code " " | Process Run check This returns JSON with five sections: credentialsfile, token, api, environment, and ready.
