Requires a paid Claude or ChatGPT subscription (or API key) to actually use the installed coding agent.

So what is it?

This is a one-command setup kit for people joining the Elnora AI agent hackathon. The goal is to get from a fresh laptop to a working AI coding agent as fast as possible, without manually installing and wiring up a dozen tools. It supports two coding agents: Claude Code (from Anthropic) and Codex (from OpenAI), and you pick which one you want during setup. Running a single command in your terminal kicks off a two-phase process. Phase 1 installs the tools your agent needs: a package manager, Node.js, Python, Git, VS Code, GitHub CLI, and Obsidian. Anything already installed on your machine is skipped. Phase 2 is handled by the AI agent itself: it verifies what was installed, creates a private GitHub repository for your project, pushes the kit to it, runs a basic check, and optionally sets up integrations with Vercel and Google Cloud. The kit comes pre-wired with several add-ons that work immediately after setup. These include an integration for controlling a Chrome browser session, a tool for pulling in live documentation, a GitHub code search tool, and Estonian language tools. A Vercel plugin for deploying apps and generating UIs is also bundled. The repository includes runnable example scripts for generating images, video, and voiceover using Google Cloud's Vertex AI service, though those require a Google Cloud account. If setup stops partway through, you run the same install command again. The script detects the workspace you already started, skips tools that are already installed, and picks up where it left off. If the setup script is missing from your workspace folder, that means setup already finished and cleaned up after itself. You need a Claude Pro or Max subscription (or an Anthropic API key) for Claude Code, or a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan (or an OpenAI API key) for Codex. The kit works on macOS and Windows 10 or 11.
