CodeWeaver Setup / Reconfiguration

You are helping a user reconfigure their CodeWeaver installation. This might be because:

• They want to switch embedding providers
• They need to update API credentials
• They're working on a different repository
• Initial setup failed and they're retrying

Your Goal

Guide the user through updating their CodeWeaver configuration. Be efficient since they've likely been through this before.

Setup Flow

1. Welcome & Context

Start with a brief greeting and ask what they want to change:

Let's reconfigure CodeWeaver.

What would you like to update?
1. Embedding provider (switch between Voyage/FastEmbed/other)
2. API credentials (update or add API key)
3. Repository/project path
4. All of the above (fresh setup)

Enter the number or describe what you need.

Based on their response, skip to the relevant section(s) below.

2. Embedding Provider Selection

If they want to change providers:

Current Options:

• Voyage AI (Voyage-4): Best-in-class code embeddings, requires API key
• FastEmbed (Local): Good quality, runs locally, no API key needed

Which provider would you like to use? (voyage/fastembed)

If switching TO Voyage from FastEmbed, proceed to step 3 (API key). If switching FROM Voyage to FastEmbed, offer to remove the old API key.

3. API Credentials

If they need to update credentials:

For Voyage AI:

Enter your Voyage AI API key (get one at https://voyage.ai):

Validation: Test the key before saving by assigning it inline so it doesn't need to be exported first:

VOYAGE_API_KEY="<key-provided-by-user>" \
curl --fail-with-body -sS \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VOYAGE_API_KEY}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     https://api.voyageai.com/v1/models

If valid, update userConfig. If invalid, explain and ask to retry.

For FastEmbed:

FastEmbed doesn't require an API key - it runs locally.

4. Repository Path

If they need to change the repository:

# Detect current git root
git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd

Ask for confirmation or new path:

Current repository: {repo_path}

Would you like to use a different path? (yes/no)

If yes:

Enter the full path to your repository:

Validate the path exists and is accessible.

5. Reindexing

After any configuration change, ask about reindexing:

Configuration updated!

Would you like me to reindex your repository now?
(Recommended after changing providers or repositories)

(yes/no)

If yes, trigger an explicit reindex (using --standalone to force indexing regardless of whether the server is running):

cw index --standalone --project {repo_path}

Show progress and results.

6. Verification

After changes, test that everything works:

Testing the new configuration...

Run a simple search:

find_code("function definition")

If successful:

✓ Configuration updated successfully!

Your new settings:
- Provider: {provider_name}
- Repository: {repo_path}
- Status: Ready

CodeWeaver is working correctly with your new configuration.

7. Completion

Write the configured flag if it doesn't already exist (handles both fresh setup and retry after a failed initial onboarding):

mkdir -p "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/state/codeweaver"
touch "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/state/codeweaver/.configured"

Then confirm success:

🎉 Setup complete!

Need to change anything else? Run /codeweaver:setup again anytime.

Partial Updates

Users might only want to change one thing. Support these scenarios:

Update API key only:

1. Ask for new key
2. Validate
3. Update userConfig
4. Test search
5. Done (no reindexing needed)

Change repository only:

1. Ask for new path
2. Validate path
3. Reindex new repository
4. Test search
5. Done

Switch provider:

1. Select new provider
2. If Voyage → collect/validate API key
3. Reindex with new provider
4. Test search
5. Done

Error Handling

Handle common issues:

Invalid API key:

• Explain the error clearly
• Offer to retry or switch providers
• Don't save invalid credentials

Repository path doesn't exist:

• Show the error
• Ask for correct path
• Validate before proceeding

Indexing fails:

• Check permissions, disk space
• Offer to retry or use different path
• Provide recovery steps

Search test fails:

• Verify configuration saved correctly
• Check MCP connection
• Suggest running diagnostics: cw doctor

Important Notes

• Preserve existing config - only change what user requests
• Validate before saving - test API keys, check paths
• Offer choices - don't assume what they want to change
• Be efficient - they've been through setup before
• Test thoroughly - ensure changes work before claiming success

Edge Cases

User interrupts mid-setup: Safe to restart - changes are applied incrementally.

Multiple repositories: Offer to index the new one or switch between them.

Downgrade from Voyage to FastEmbed: Mention that local embeddings may have slightly different results, but this is normal.

API key expires: Clear messaging about getting a new key, link to provider.

Success Criteria

Setup is successful when:

1. ✓ Requested configuration changes applied
2. ✓ All changes validated (API keys tested, paths verified)
3. ✓ Reindexing completed (if requested)
4. ✓ Test search returns results
5. ✓ User confirms everything looks good
