Install

Const.Elate is a single Go binary with no runtime dependencies. Build it from source.

Build

git clone https://github.com/signalandform/constelate
cd constelate && go build -o constelate .

You need Go 1.24 or newer. Then put the binary somewhere on your PATH:

cp constelate ~/.local/bin/

Run

constelate              # the TUI, with the current directory as the project
constelate --summary    # a read-only text report
constelate --dry-run    # the TUI, but every write is only described

Run it from inside a project so the project-scope skills and CLAUDE.md are included. Running it from your home directory makes the personal and project .claude folders the same place, so the loader drops the project scope there rather than counting everything twice.

Terminal

It renders cleanly at 80 columns by 24 rows. Wider is nicer: the constellation gets more room and the detail panel stops covering nodes. Any terminal that draws box characters and the star glyphs works; on Omarchy it picks up the active theme's colours, and everywhere else it uses your terminal's ANSI palette.

Uninstall

Delete the binary. Anything it disabled lives under ~/.config/constelate/disabled/ with a marker that says where each folder came from; move a folder back to put the skill back. Delete ~/.config/constelate once you no longer want its backups.
