Power Up Kiyomi — Step-by-Step Guide to Maximum AI Power

🧠

Claude CLI — Anthropic

$20/mo

Deep reasoning, complex coding, and multi-file refactors. The gold standard for software engineering tasks.

Multi-file refactors across entire codebases
Architecture design and code review
Complex reasoning and analysis

1

Open your web browser (Safari, Chrome, or whatever you use) and go to:

https://claude.ai/download

This is Anthropic’s official download page for Claude CLI.

2

Create a Claude account (or sign in if you already have one). You’ll need an email address. They’ll send a verification code to your email — check your inbox and enter it.

3

Choose the Max plan ($20/month). This gives you unlimited use of Claude CLI. Enter your payment info and subscribe.

If you already pay for Claude (claude.ai), you may already have CLI access. Skip to Step 4 and try it.

4

Open your Terminal app.

On Mac: Press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight, type Terminal, and press Enter.

On Windows: Press the Windows key, type PowerShell, and press Enter.

5

Install Claude CLI. Copy and paste this entire line into your terminal, then press Enter:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

If you get an error saying “npm: command not found” — you need to install Node.js first. Go to nodejs.org, click the big green download button, run the installer, then try again.

6

Log in to Claude CLI. Type this in your terminal and press Enter:

claude

A browser window will pop open asking you to log in. Sign in with the same account from Step 2. Once you see “authenticated” in the terminal, you’re done.

What you’ll see:
A message like “Welcome to Claude Code” in your terminal. That means it worked.

7

That’s it. Close the Claude terminal window (type exit and press Enter). Now open Kiyomi and tell her:

kiyomi> "Use Claude to refactor my authentication module"

✓ Kiyomi detects Claude CLI automatically — no configuration needed

💻

Codex CLI — OpenAI

$20/mo

Code generation, execution, and review from OpenAI. Excellent for rapid prototyping and generating unit tests.

Generate entire modules from descriptions
Execute and test code automatically
Code review and optimization pipeline

1

Go to OpenAI’s website in your web browser:

https://platform.openai.com

Create an account or sign in. You’ll need to add a payment method and fund your account (pay-as-you-go, about $20/month for normal use).

2

Open your Terminal app.

On Mac: Press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, press Enter.

On Windows: Press the Windows key, type PowerShell, press Enter.

3

Install Codex CLI. Copy and paste this line into your terminal, then press Enter:

npm install -g @openai/codex

What you’ll see:
Some text scrolling by as it installs. When you see your terminal prompt again (the blinking cursor), it’s done.

If you get “npm: command not found” — install Node.js from nodejs.org first (same as Claude CLI above).

4

Log in to Codex. Type this and press Enter:

codex login

Follow the prompts. It will ask you to log in via your browser. Use the same OpenAI account from Step 1.

What you’ll see:
A confirmation message in your terminal when login succeeds.

5

Done. Close the terminal. Open Kiyomi and try:

kiyomi> "Use Codex to generate unit tests for my API"

✓ Kiyomi detects Codex CLI automatically — no configuration needed

4

Run Gemini for the first time. Type this and press Enter:

gemini

A browser window will pop open asking you to sign in with your Google account. Click your Google account, then click “Allow” when asked for permissions.

What you’ll see:
After you allow permissions in the browser, go back to your terminal. You should see a Gemini prompt ready for input. That means it worked.

kiyomi> "Use Gemini to audit my website for SEO issues"
