Editor setup

On this page

After chain setup, the debug skill lands or is made available depending on the editor:

Nova (macOS)

Nova does not ship its own skills folder. Chain Hub links the same Claude Code paths (~/.claude/) when Nova is installed on macOS.

  1. Install the Claude Code CLI and the Claude Code Bridge extension in Nova.
  2. Run chain setup (or chain setup --ide nova to target Nova only).
  3. Use Claude Code from Nova; hub skills and agents load from ~/.claude/.

Project rules still sync to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md in the repo via chain memory sync, same as other editors.

JetBrains AI (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, …)

JetBrains AI stores IDE-level skills under each product config folder. Chain Hub symlinks hub skills into that path when a JetBrains IDE is installed.

  1. Install a JetBrains IDE with the AI Assistant plugin (see agent skills).
  2. Run chain setup (or chain setup --ide jetbrains-ai to target JetBrains only).
  3. Skills appear under Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Skills for each linked IDE.

Project rules from chain memory sync are written to .aiassistant/rules/*.md in the repo (configure project rules).

WebStorm

WebStorm is JetBrains’ JavaScript and TypeScript IDE. With the AI Assistant plugin, it uses the same agent-skills folder as other JetBrains IDEs. Chain Hub can target WebStorm only without relinking IntelliJ, PyCharm, or other products.

  1. Install WebStorm and enable AI Assistant (see JetBrains AI).
  2. Run chain setup (or chain setup --ide webstorm to target WebStorm only).
  3. Skills appear under Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Skills.

Project rules still sync to .aiassistant/rules/*.md via chain memory sync.

Zed

Zed loads agent skills from ~/.agents/skills/ globally (and .agents/skills/ per project). Chain Hub symlinks hub skills there and maps global rules to ~/.config/zed/AGENTS.md.

  1. Install Zed and open it once so config folders exist.
  2. Run chain setup (or chain setup --ide zed).
  3. Skills appear under Settings → AI → Skills (skills docs).

Project memory from chain memory sync merges into the repo root AGENTS.md.

Want another editor supported? Open a thread in GitHub Discussions or use the short survey (if available). Mention the product name, how you use skills or rules there, and a doc link if you have one. Requests help prioritize adapter work; they are not commitments on the public roadmap.

Run chain status to verify which editors are linked and whether symlinks are healthy.
