Installation

Requires Node.js 20 or later. npx downloads the CLI on first use. For a browser-only trial, open Studio.

With an agent

npx skills add jdiejim/chiltepin -g

Choose your agent in the installer. -g installs the skill globally; omit it for a project installation. Then follow Author with AI for prompts and the review workflow.

Set up a project

Run these commands in your project directory:

npx chiltepin init
npx chiltepin check
npx chiltepin html docs/getting-started.md -p

init creates chiltepin.config.json, docs/getting-started.md, and docs/tutorial.md. It skips existing files. Use --force only to overwrite starter files. The final command opens a standalone HTML preview.

Open the studio

npx chiltepin studio

The local editor reads and writes your project's Markdown files. See Studio for editing and export controls.

Pin the CLI version

For a shared project or CI, install a project dependency:

pnpm add -D chiltepin
pnpm exec chiltepin check

Commit the package manifest and lockfile. Use the installed CLI for both schema lookup and validation. Keep the agent skill updated separately; installing a skill does not pin the CLI.

The reference pages use chiltepin; read it as npx chiltepin or pnpm exec chiltepin for your setup.

Configuration

See CLI configuration for document paths and the color scheme, and render commands for export options. PDF export needs Chromium on first use.

Next: write your first doc.
