## Description

Install Praxist runtime dependencies and configure user-level Praxist provider credentials for a source checkout or pip-installed environment. Use when the user asks an agent to install or repair Praxist requirements, prepare a Praxist host, create the Praxist Python environment, install the `praxist` CLI, install Claude SDK or official Codex SDK runtime extras, install source-checkout test/dev dependencies, persist API keys or provider settings, verify imports, or diagnose missing dependencies. For source checkouts include the repository test/dev dependency group; for pip package installs keep the install runtime-only. Do not use for docs, task-specific training, dataset, benchmark, or experiment dependencies.

# Praxist Runtime Install

Use this skill to install dependencies needed to run Praxist itself. For local source checkouts, also install the repository's test/dev dependency group so the agent can validate Praxist code changes. Keep task-specific dependencies separate: each task project owns its own training/evaluation environment, datasets, CUDA/PyTorch stack, and benchmark packages.

This is separate from `scripts/install_codex_skills.sh`: that compatibility script installs or updates Codex or Claude Code skill symlinks. The bundled `scripts/install_runtime_deps.sh` in this skill installs Praxist runtime Python dependencies and, when explicitly supplied with provider/key options, writes user-level Praxist environment config.

## Scope

Install dependencies for the Praxist control plane:
