≈ 45–60 min, onceMilestone · Your computer is ready

What your agent will do

  1. A1Checks which tools you already have (Git, Node.js, GitHub CLI) and tells you what's missing.
  2. A2Guides you through creating your GitHub and Vercel accounts, click by click.
  3. A3Connects your computer to both and confirms everything works.

What you do

  1. Install what your agent asks for. If a window offers the “command line developer tools”, click Install.
  2. Create a free account at github.com/signup and turn on two-factor authentication.
  3. When your agent runs gh auth login, copy the one-time code, press Enter, paste it in the page that opens and click Authorize.
  4. Sign up at vercel.com/signup with Continue with GitHub.
  5. Reopen the Claude app after installing tools, so it finds them.
