Quickstart

Install Squeaky Clean and verify it can talk to the Anthropic API. About 60 seconds.

What you need

• Python 3.10 or newer.
• An Anthropic API key.

Install

macOS / LinuxWindows (PowerShell)

pip install git+https://github.com/garciaalan186/squeaky-clean.git

py -m pip install git+https://github.com/garciaalan186/squeaky-clean.git

Once published to PyPI

pip install squeaky-clean will work directly. Until then, install from GitHub.

Set your API key

macOS / LinuxWindows (PowerShell)

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "sk-ant-..."

Verify

squeaky --version

You should see a version string. If you see command not found, your pip install dir isn't on PATH — try python -m squeaky_clean --version instead.

What to do next

• Get started — generate your first runnable project from a sample ProblemSpec.
• From source — set up an editable dev install instead.
• Per-language toolchains — only needed if you'll generate Java / Go / Rust / Node projects.
