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.
Before you begin, make sure you meet the prerequisites.
1. Sign up
Section titled “1. Sign up”You can create an account at https://straion.app.
2. Import Rules
Section titled “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
Section titled “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/clipnpm
pnpm add -g @straion/cliPrerequisites: MacOS/Windows and Node.js v22+
Straion works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. Make sure one of these is installed before proceeding. See the agent setup guide for guidance on how to verify your installation.
4. Connect your Agent
Section titled “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
Section titled “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.
