gossipcat

# Install gossipcat gossipcat is an **MCP server** (a running relay + tool server + native-agent dispatch), not a set of prompt rules. This skill installs the server. Once it is connected, **all operational rules — dispatch, consensus, signals — load live from `gossip_status()` and stay in sync with the running server.** This skill does not carry them. ## Steps 1. **Detect the host.** Check the environment: - `echo $CLAUDECODE` prints `1` → **Claude Code**. - `echo $CURSOR` is set, or you are running inside Cursor → **Cursor**. If unclear, ask the user which one they use. 2. **Ask the user: global or project-local install?** 3. **Run the matching commands.** **Global** (works for both Claude Code and Cursor): ```bash npm install -g gossipcat claude mcp add gossipcat -s user -- gossipcat ``` The `claude mcp add` step is **required** for global installs — the postinstall step cannot write a usable `.mcp.json` for a global install, so you must register the server manually. (Cursor users: add `{ "mcpServers": { "gossipcat": { "command": "gossipcat" } } }` to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` instead of `claude mcp add`.) **Project-local** (run inside the target project): ```bash npm install --save-dev gossipcat ``` The postinstall step writes `.mcp.json` into the project root automatically — no `claude mcp add` needed. Open the IDE in that project. 4. **Reconnect.** If you added the server mid-session, run `/mcp` (Claude Code) or r...
