Vise runs on your machine. It fetches public social.plus documentation and SDK version information, but it does not upload your source code, file contents, or search queries.
Vise vs. the docs MCP server
Both tools connect AI coding tools to social.plus, and they work well together.| Tool | Best for | Runs where |
|---|---|---|
| Docs MCP server | Searching and reading social.plus documentation inside an AI chat | Hosted at https://learn.social.plus/mcp |
| Vise | Planning, validating, and sensor-running an integration in your app repository | Local CLI in your project |
Who should use Vise
- Developer using an AI coding agent — Install the skill, ask for the SDK feature, answer project-specific questions, and let Vise drive the loop through plan, check, and sensors.
- Technical lead or reviewer — Review the
sp-vise/contract, deterministic findings, attestations, and thevise check --ciresult before accepting the integration. - Partner or solutions engineer — Use Vise as a repeatable delivery workflow across customer apps, so each integration ends with the same local evidence rather than a prompt transcript.
- Product or design owner — Use the advisory design and experience outputs to review whether the generated surface fits the product intent. Correctness and explicit completeness checks remain the gates.
Install
Install Vise globally:vise doctor prints the version, install path, and docs source so you can confirm the setup.
Install the AI skill
Vise includes a bundled skill that teaches your AI coding tool when to inspect, plan, fetch docs, edit code, validate, and ask you for missing decisions. Install it for your tool:Quickstart
Open your project in your AI coding tool
Work inside the app repository where you want to add social.plus SDK features.
Let the agent run Vise
The skill guides the agent through
vise inspect, vise plan, vise init, docs lookup, implementation, vise check, and vise run-sensors.Answer project-specific questions
Vise asks for values the agent should not invent, such as region, feed target, community ID source, platform scope, or design-system source.
