Quickstart

Get Prism running in three steps.

1. Install the plugin

From the Claude Code marketplace:

/install-plugin optra-prism

2. Configure your API key

Run the setup command with your gck_* key:

/prism:setup gck_YOUR_API_KEY

This writes your key to ~/.prism/config.json, enables gateway routing, and syncs OTEL telemetry settings.

3. Restart Claude Code

Restart your session so the plugin hooks activate:

# Exit and reopen Claude Code

On startup you’ll see:

Session started — gateway=enabled key=gck_abc12... ingest=https://ingest.prism.optra-ai.com

What happens next

Once running, Prism works automatically:

Every prompt gets scored for quality (PQ) — low scores trigger rewrite suggestions
Every response gets timed and token-counted
Every 15 turns you get context management nudges
Background — telemetry flows to S3, the engine scores your sessions

Try these commands

/prism:status    # Check connection health
/prism:cost      # See session token usage
/prism:score     # View your PRISM profile
/prism:advisor   # Get prompt optimization tips
