# Quickstart

> Install the /quality skill and qualitymd CLI, then create your first QUALITY.md.

This guide takes you from nothing to a first `QUALITY.md` tailored to your
project.

## Install

### Install the agent skill

```sh theme={null}
npx skills add qualitymd/quality.md
```

### Install the CLI

Choose one CLI install method. Use npm or pnpm if you already use Node.js; use
the hosted installer when you want a managed standalone install.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh npm theme={null}
  npm install -g quality.md
  ```

  ```sh pnpm theme={null}
  pnpm add -g quality.md
  ```

  ```sh macOS/Linux theme={null}
  curl -fsSL https://getquality.md/install.sh | sh
  ```

  ```powershell Windows PowerShell theme={null}
  iwr https://getquality.md/install.ps1 -UseB | iex
  ```

  ```sh Homebrew theme={null}
  brew install qualitymd/tap/qualitymd
  ```

  ```sh Go theme={null}
  go install github.com/qualitymd/quality.md/cmd/qualitymd@latest
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create your first QUALITY.md

Run `/quality setup` with your coding agent for guided creation of a
`QUALITY.md` tailored to your project.

## Stay up to date

Run `/quality update` to update the skill and CLI to the latest compatible
versions.
