People install the CLI and the extension and miss the skill. This moves Install up and reorders it so that is harder to do.

The problem

Install closed the homepage, under Facts and Limits, and the skill was the last line of it. The path most people actually took: read the opening paragraph, copy the npm line sitting right under it, go and get the extension, stop. Two visible halves that plainly do something, and a third step below the fold that reads like an optional extra.

It is not optional. Without the skill the agent has the CLI on its PATH and no idea the commands exist — which shows up as an agent insisting it cannot open a browser on a machine where reins is installed and connected.

The change

Install is now the second thing on the page, straight after the sentence that says what reins is, and before the browser mock. It is a numbered list of three rather than a transcript with an explanation underneath, so each step is a thing you do rather than a line you skim.

The skill is step two, between the two shell one-liners, rather than step three on the far side of a trip to the Chrome Web Store. The order of the three does not matter to the software; it matters to whether anyone finishes. Both commands are now adjacent and copyable before the reader ever leaves the page.

Same reorder on /docs (Getting started), which had the same 1. CLI → 2. extension → 3. skill shape. It now names the failure mode: "skipping it is why an agent with reins installed still says it cannot open a browser."

Skill is a row in the Facts table, so the command appears twice on the homepage.

The old closing Install section becomes More: the sideload note, the ⌘K search hint, and the two links out.

Incidental

CHROME_WEB_STORE_URL and SKILL_COMMAND join INSTALL_COMMAND in lib/site.ts. The store URL had been pasted into three files and the skill command quoted as a bare string in a fourth, which is exactly how the two drift apart.

Verification

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a clearer three-step installation workflow covering CLI, skill, and browser extension setup.
    • Added copy-ready installation commands and skill support guidance.
    • Added the skill command to the homepage facts section.
    • Reorganized homepage setup links into a separate “More” section.
    • Updated documentation and sideloading instructions with consistent extension links.

Install closed the homepage, under the facts and the limits, and the
skill was the last line of it. What people did instead was read the
opening paragraph, copy the npm line sitting under it, go and get the
extension, and stop. Two visible halves that plainly do something, and a
third step below the fold that reads like an optional extra.

It is not optional. Without the skill the agent has the CLI on its PATH
and no idea the commands exist, which surfaces as an agent insisting it
cannot open a browser on a machine where reins is installed and
connected.

So Install is now the second thing on the page, right after the sentence
that says what reins is, as a numbered list of three rather than a
transcript with a paragraph explaining it afterwards. The skill is step
two, between the two shell one-liners, rather than step three on the far
side of a trip to the Chrome Web Store. The order of the three does not
matter to the software. It matters to whether anyone finishes.

The getting started page is reordered the same way and says out loud
what skipping it looks like. `Skill` is a row in the facts table now, so
the command appears twice on the page.

What used to be the closing Install section is `More`: the sideload
note, the search hint, and the two links out.

The store URL and the skill command join INSTALL_COMMAND in lib/site.ts.
Three files had the store URL pasted into them, and a fourth quoted the
skill command as a bare string.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The web site now centralizes installation constants. The homepage and documentation present CLI, skill, and Chrome extension setup in a consistent order. Additional homepage links now appear in a separate “More” section.

Changes

Installation Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared installation constants
packages/web/src/lib/site.ts
Adds shared constants for the skill installation command and Chrome Web Store URL.
Documentation installation flow
packages/web/src/routes/docs/index.tsx, packages/web/src/routes/docs/sideload.tsx
Uses shared constants and teaches skill setup before extension installation.
Homepage installation workflow
packages/web/src/routes/index.tsx
Adds a three-step installation flow for the CLI, skill, and extension. The Facts table includes the skill command, and remaining links move into a “More” section.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f153a

The installation flow is functionally low risk, but one homepage sentence still refers to the skipped skill as the third step even though it is now second; correcting that minor user-facing inconsistency is recommended before merge.
