Add Nexus Prime
Install the public npm package from any supported terminal.
npm install -g nexus-prime
Quick start
From install to a usable handoff.
Set up Nexus Prime once, connect the coding tools you already use, and give the next agent the goal, decisions, and checks it needs.

Three steps to start.
Install the package, connect your tools, then open Nexus Prime. You can start with one coding tool and add the others when the work moves.
Set up your tools
Connect all detected coding tools, or choose one by name.
nexus-prime setup all
Open your workspace
Start Nexus Prime and move into the workflow you want to continue.

The handoff
What the next agent receives.
A useful handoff is short enough to act on and complete enough to avoid another round of explanation.
The outcome
What the work should change and why it matters.
The choices made
What was selected, rejected, or left open.
The working set
The files and surfaces that matter to the next step.
The finish line
What has been verified and what still needs attention.
Good first workflows
Start where repetition costs time.
The clearest first win is work that regularly moves between people, coding tools, or sessions.
Change review
Carry implementation choices and completed checks into the reviewing agent.
Incident handoff
Move confirmed observations and the next investigation step into a fresh session.
Multi-step migration
Keep scope, completed batches, and remaining work aligned across tools.
Common questions
Know what changes.
Nexus Prime joins your existing workflow. It does not ask your team to replace its coding agents.
Does Nexus Prime replace my coding agent?
No. Keep using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or another connected tool. Nexus Prime keeps the handoff usable when the work moves.
Can I start with one tool?
Yes. Connect one coding tool first, then add another when a real workflow needs to move between them.
What is the fastest way to see it work?
Choose a task that already spans more than one session. Continue it in another connected tool and check whether the goal, decisions, and checks arrive with it.
