Install goes to the top, and the skill stops being step three - #28
Conversation
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe 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. ChangesInstallation Flow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 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.

Correct the skipped-step reference.
The skill is the second item. The extension is the third item. Change third to second so the text matches the installation order.

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
PATHand 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
