catalyst-basics
Core Catalyst project setup — directory structure, environments, CLI commands, and all Catalyst IDs (Project ID, ZAID, Table ID, Segment ID, Org ID). Trigger on 'start a Catalyst project', 'what is .catalystrc', 'where do I find my Table ID', 'difference between Development and Production', or any Catalyst ID or CLI question.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "catalystbyzoho/claude-plugin:skills/catalyst-basics" 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.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/catalystbyzoho/claude-plugin /tmp/claude-plugin && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin/skills/catalyst-basics ~/.claude/skills/catalyst-basicsFrom README
How It Works Pre-flight first — Establish and verify org/project context per the canonical sequence in references/preflight.md (read .catalystrc for org/project, confirm parity with MCP, or resolve via MCP if .catalystrc is absent). Use MCP for all other resource IDs instead of asking the user. New to Catalyst? — If the user is setting up Catalyst for the first time or asking "how do I start", load references/quick-start.md for the full walkthrough. Console navigation — If the user asks how to find IDs, create tables, set permissions, or configure CORS in the console, load references/console-ui-guide.md. Project structure — Load references/project-basics.md for directory layout, catalyst.json, IDs, and dev-to-prod checklist. CLI questions — Load references/cli.md for the exact command, flags, and safety rules. Answer — Provide the specific ID path or CLI command needed. Never ask the user to manually look up IDs when MCP is connected.
