AI Setup Wizard
The fastest way to get started is to not do the setup at all. Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode — any AI agent that can fetch a URL:
Get me started with TheSpider: https://thespider.xyz/startup.md
Your agent fetches startup.md — a hosted setup-wizard skill — and
takes over from there. It asks a few questions up front, then does everything itself:
Detects your machine
Existing installs, Rust/Docker/Bun, and which model CLIs you already have (claude, codex,
opencode, …).
Asks three questions
Cloud, your team's on-prem server, or a free local eval — plus which repo to audit and which model CLI to use.
Sets everything up
Builds and installs thespider-agent, writes ~/.thespider/config.toml, walks you through account
and enrollment (the only browser steps), and binds your model.
Runs your first audit
Kicks off a campaign against your repo and hands you the findings link in the web UI.
The only things you do by hand: create your account in the browser and approve the first real model run. Everything else — install, config, enrollment, model bindings, the audit itself — is the agent's job.
Prefer to drive it yourself? The manual path starts at Installation and Quickstart.
