Common issues

command not found: clams

Restart your terminal and try again. This usually resolves it.

Claude doesn't seem to know about Clams

This usually means the agent skills weren't installed. If you skipped the prompt during installation, open your terminal and run npx skills add clams-tech/skills, then restart Claude Code.
