Install

stele is one file, with nothing else to set up. Pick whichever way suits you.

With Go

You need Go 1.27 or later.

go install github.com/lictor-ai/stele/cmd/stele@latest

With Homebrew or Scoop

These work from the first stable release on.

On macOS or Linux:

brew install lictor-ai/tap/stele

On Windows:

scoop bucket add lictor-ai https://github.com/lictor-ai/scoop-bucket
scoop install stele

By hand

Download the archive for your system from the releases page, and put stele somewhere on your PATH. checksums.txt lists the SHA-256 of each archive. The binaries are not signed.

Check that Claude Code can find it

Claude Code runs the plain command stele, so it has to be on the PATH that Claude Code sees.

If you installed with Go, that folder is $(go env GOPATH)/bin.

If Claude Code can’t find stele, writes simply go through with no rules applied. So it’s worth checking this before you move on.
