Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python 3.12+
An Anthropic API key with Opus 4.6 access

Install

pip install syke
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
syke --user you setup --yes

AI Agent Setup. Paste https://github.com/saxenauts/syke into any AI agent and say “set this up.” The agent reads the README, runs three commands, and everything works.

Quick Try: GitHub Only

Fastest path to a working profile. No OAuth, no exports — just public data.

syke --user you ingest github --username your-github-username
syke --user you perceive
syke --user you profile --format markdown

Full Pipeline

Install and set your API key

pip install syke
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

Get your key from console.anthropic.com.

Run setup

syke --user you setup --yes

This auto-detects and ingests:

Claude Code sessions from ~/.claude/
ChatGPT export ZIPs in ~/Downloads/
GitHub via gh CLI or GITHUB_TOKEN
Gmail via OAuth (if configured)

Then runs agentic perception and outputs your profile.

Verify

syke --user you status

Expected output:

╭──────────────── Syke Status: you ────────────────╮
