{"enrichment":{"faq":[{"a":"tooluniverse-cs-setup automates the complete installation process. The skill creates a dedicated conda environment, installs the ToolUniverse pip package, and bundles your workflow library into a native Claude Science skill. This replaces the plugin approach with direct kernel integration, giving you access to 2500+ tools without external dependencies.","q":"How to install tooluniverse in Claude Science?"},{"a":"tooluniverse-cs-setup handles first-time setup by automating environment creation and package installation. The skill sets up a conda environment (typically Python 3.11), installs the ToolUniverse pip package, configures your cache directory, and publishes the tooluniverse-research skill bundle to your Claude Science catalog. No manual configuration needed.","q":"How do I set up tooluniverse for the first time?"},{"a":"Yes. tooluniverse-cs-setup supports version upgrades by reinstalling the pip package and refreshing your workflow library from GitHub. When upstream releases new tools or updates, the skill pulls changes directly from the repository and rebundles them into your skill, keeping your installation current.","q":"Can tooluniverse-cs-setup update my existing installation?"},{"a":"tooluniverse-cs-setup builds and publishes the tooluniverse-research skill bundle, which packages your ToolUniverse workflows as a native Claude Science skill. This bundle integrates directly into your kernel, enabling seamless access to all configured tools without plugin overhead or external process management.","q":"What does the tooluniverse-research skill bundle do?"},{"a":"tooluniverse-cs-setup replaces the plugin-based approach with direct kernel integration. Instead of running ToolUniverse as an external service, the skill bundles workflows natively into Claude Science, eliminating plugin dependencies and simplifying setup while maintaining full access to your tool library.","q":"How does tooluniverse-cs-setup differ from the VS Code plugin?"},{"a":"Yes. tooluniverse-cs-setup includes workflow library refresh functionality that pulls the latest updates from GitHub and rebundles them into your skill. This lets you stay synchronized with upstream releases without reinstalling the entire package.","q":"Can I refresh my ToolUniverse workflows after a GitHub release?"}],"shadow_tags":["environment-setup","package-management","workflow-orchestration","api-integration","research-tools","conda-environment","skill-publishing","reproducible-science"],"summary_rewrite":"This skill automates ToolUniverse setup for Claude Science by creating a conda environment, installing the pip package, and bundling the workflow library into a native skill.
