Release zips
Versioned archives if you'd rather not use git clone. Each release corresponds to a GitHub Release tag.
- Latest: Releases on GitHub →
- All releases: Release history →
Releases mirror the enterprise version numbering (v046, v047, etc.) so you can match a community release with the enterprise feature set it was cut from.
Before you start
You need the following installed. None are Powerloom-specific — all widely-used developer tools.
| Tool | Why | Get it |
|---|---|---|
| Docker Desktop (or Linux docker + compose v2) | Runs the stack | docker.com |
| Python 3.11+ | scratch/home_init.py — generates the CC config | python.org |
| Claude Code | CC connects to your local control plane via MCP | anthropic.com/claude-code |
| Anthropic API key | Alfred runs on claude-opus-4-6 | console.anthropic.com |
pip install mcp httpx | Dependencies of the MCP stdio server | Any Python env CC invokes |
What happens on first boot
- Alembic migrations run against a fresh postgres.
- Home-bootstrap creates your org, a single OrgAdmin user, and the
alfredagent with its brand-voice system prompt. - A 365-day Personal Access Token is minted and written to
./home_data/pat.txt(host-visible). - The
powerloom_metaMCP deployment flips to healthy, and Alfred is wired to it. - You run
python scratch/home_init.py --writeto materialize./home_data/.mcp.jsonand./home_data/cc-prompt.md. Those are what Claude Code consumes.
