[00] install

one paste. that’s it.

spinyield is a plain JS package that runs on the Node you already have — no native binary, nothing to code-sign. The setup wizard signs you in, wires the status line, and migrates you off kickbacks if you have it.

🤑 have your agent install it

easiest

Paste this straight into Claude Code — your agent runs the installer and walks you through the two human moments (Google sign-in, kickbacks migration).

›Install spinyield for me: run `curl -fsSL https://spinyield.com/install.sh | sh` and follow the setup wizard. If any step needs me (Google sign-in, choosing what to do with kickbacks), tell me exactly what to do.

works in Claude Code today · the wizard is interactive-safe: anything the agent can’t answer, it hands to you.

…or do it yourself

Three steps, about a minute. Requires Node.js ≥ 20 (you already have it — Claude Code runs on Node).

  1. 1

    Run the installer

    $curl -fsSL https://spinyield.com/install.sh | sh

    prefer npm directly? npm install -g spinyield && spinyield setup

  2. 2

    Follow the setup wizard

    It starts automatically: sign in with Google (your browser opens with the code pre-filled), the status line gets wired, and if kickbacks is installed you choose — uninstall it, or pause it (reversible: `spinyield kickbacks-restore`). Ends with a live preview of your sponsored line.

  3. 3

    Open Claude Code — you’re earning
