Setup cancelled

Error message

Setup cancelled

What it means

In setup.ts resolveAgents(), when no agent is given via flags and --yes is not set, the CLI prompts the user to pick which agent(s) to configure with promptAgents(). Cancelling that prompt logs 'Setup cancelled' and returns an empty array, aborting setup before any files are written.

Solutions

1. Rerun `context7 setup` and select an agent in the prompt
2. Use `context7 setup --yes` to accept all detected agents without prompting
3. Pass an explicit agent flag (e.g. --cursor) to skip the picker

Example fix

// before
// $ context7 setup        # cancel at agent picker
// after
// $ context7 setup --cursor

if (!process.stdout.isTTY) {
  args.push("--yes"); // or pass an explicit agent flag
}

When it happens

Trigger: promptAgents() resolves falsy during `context7 setup` — user pressed Esc/Ctrl+C or chose cancel in the agent-selection prompt; detected agents existed but --yes was not passed so prompting still occurred, or nothing was detected and a prompt was shown.

Common situations: Abandoning a Context7 setup midway; running setup in a non-interactive shell where the picker aborts; pressing the wrong key in the agent multi-select.
