Prompt Install for AI Observability: Setup ZappyBee with Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor
How to install ZappyBee with one prompt so your coding assistant detects your stack, wires tracing, and keeps manual fallback available.
Direct answer
Help teams searching for the fastest way to instrument AI traces without manually wiring every file.
- Prompt Install is now the default setup path for new projects.
- The prompt can detect framework, language, package manager, and existing LLM providers.
- Manual SDK setup remains available for teams that want direct code-level control.
What Prompt Install does
Prompt Install is a repo-aware setup workflow: you copy one prompt into your coding assistant, and the assistant performs the implementation inside your codebase.
A strong install prompt should force stack detection, env-safe initialization, provider-aware instrumentation, and a smoke test path.
- Detects TypeScript/Python runtime and package manager.
- Installs the ZappyBee SDK in the correct environment.
- Adds OpenAI/Anthropic auto-wrap where available.
- Adds manual tracing for custom providers and orchestration code.
- Creates a smoke test command so ingest can be verified quickly.
Why this is now the primary onboarding path
Most installation failures came from configuration drift: wrong env wiring, partially instrumented files, or missing trace closure in error paths.
Prompt Install removes that setup friction by delegating implementation to the coding assistant with explicit acceptance criteria.
When to use manual setup instead
Manual setup is still ideal when you need complete control over naming conventions, custom wrappers, or regulated code review workflows.
The recommended approach is prompt-first for speed, then manual refinement for advanced architecture patterns.
