Getting Started

Straion keeps your coding agents aligned with your engineering standards. To get set up, follow the steps below to import your rules, install the CLI, and connect your first agent.

1. Sign up

You can create an account at https://straion.app.

2. Import Rules

Start by importing your existing standards — security requirements, architecture patterns or coding guidelines. On your Straion rules page, click Add rules and select one of the import options.

Straion offers the following import options:

GitHub Repository: Import rules from a public or private repository

File: Import rules from a file

Text: Extract rules from pasted or typed text

3. Install CLI

To install the Straion CLI, use one of the following commands based on your package manager. You can find more information in the npm listing.

npm

npm install -g @straion/cli

pnpm

pnpm add -g @straion/cli

Prerequisites: MacOS/Windows and Node.js v.22+

4. Connect your Agent

Get a Personal Access Token from your User Settings. The token inherits your permissions and can be scoped with an expiration date. Paste the token into your terminal to login and start the straion setup.

5. Start using Straion

Straion extends your coding agent with skills — specialized workflows that validate code against your rules, break down specs into tasks, and check pull requests for compliance. Skills are invoked using slash commands (e.g. /developing-with-rules), which guarantees the skill is loaded before your agent starts working. Any text after the slash command provides context for what the skill should do. Your agent may also invoke skills automatically based on your prompt and other skills it has loaded.

Find ready-to-use prompts to get the most out of Straion in the example prompts guide.
