asym init

asym init is the fastest way to get started. It logs you in, auto-detects your installed coding agents, and installs Asymptote hooks for each selected agent — all in a single command. 
asym init

​
What it does

  1. Logs in to your Asymptote account (skipped if already logged in)
  2. Auto-detects installed AI coding platforms
  3. Lets you choose which platforms to set up
  4. Installs security hooks for each selected platform
Supported platforms: Claude Code, Cursor, Factory
GitHub Copilot is not handled by asym init. Copilot requires per-project setup — run asym copilot install from the root of each repository where you want Copilot hooks active.

​
Usage

brew install asymptote-cli && asym init
Running asym init on its own after the CLI is already installed re-runs the setup flow and can be used to add new agents. 
$ asym init --help

Initialize Asymptote with a single command.

This guided setup will:
  1. Log in to your Asymptote account (skipped if already logged in)
  2. Auto-detect installed AI coding platforms
  3. Let you choose which platforms to set up
  4. Install security hooks for selected platforms

Supported platforms: Claude Code, Cursor, Factory.
GitHub Copilot requires per-project setup via 'asym copilot install'.

All hooks are installed at the user level by default.
For project-level installs, use the individual commands instead.

Usage:
  asym init [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for init
After setup, restart your coding agent or IDE for the changes to take effect.
