Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ — the CLI requires Node.js 20 or later
• npm — included with Node.js

Install

Install the CLI globally with npm:

npm install -g @owlmetry/cli

Verify the installation:

owlmetry --version

AI skill files

Companion skill files teach coding agents (Claude, GPT, Cursor, etc.) how to use Owlmetry. Three skills are available, each covering a different part of the platform:

• owlmetry-cli — command syntax, flags, and workflows
• owlmetry-node — server-side instrumentation with @owlmetry/node
• owlmetry-swift — iOS/macOS instrumentation with the Swift package

They are distributed as a standalone Claude Code plugin marketplace rather than bundled with the CLI. Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add owlmetry/owlmetry-skills
/plugin install owlmetry@owlmetry-skills

For other agents (Cursor, Continue, custom MCP clients), clone the skills repo and copy the folders under plugins/owlmetry/skills/ into your agent's skills directory.

owlmetry skills prints the install command as a reminder:
