Setup Context Circuit

Create the workspace with Tembiter

From the parent folder where the workspace should be created, run Tembiter with the Context Circuit GitHub template URL, release tag, and new folder name:

npx tembiter init \
  --template https://github.com/kaotypr/context-circuit.git \
  --tag v2.1.0 \
  --target acme-workspace

Replace acme-workspace with the folder name you want. Git and Node.js 20 or later must be available.

Tembiter fetches the tagged release without its Git history and initializes a new repository. The release archive excludes files that belong only to the template repository, such as its README, license, changelog, contribution pages, security page, and artwork. The resulting workspace receives its own project README and Git history.

This template step does not use Context Circuit CLI: there is no workspace yet for the CLI to operate on.

Open and configure the workspace

Open acme-workspace in Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code. Continue with one prompt:

Install the CLI version this workspace pins. Then initialize the workspace as
“Acme Billing” for our billing platform and add me as Maya.

The agent now reads the workspace instructions, installs the pinned CLI, and uses it for initialization. Continue with CLI installation and initialization to see what happens behind that prompt.

If you cloned an existing team workspace, do not initialize it again. Ask the agent to select your existing member and connect this machine instead.
