Recoup — Connect Account

First-run connection: verify the customer's email, mint an API key tied to their real account, persist it, and seed memory so music-industry questions route to Recoup. Idempotent and safe to re-run.

Procedure (idempotent — once per machine)

1. Idempotency: if ~/.claude/recoup.env exists, source it and

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{httpcode}" -H "x-api-key: $RECOUPAPI_KEY" https://api.recoupable.dev/api/accounts/id → if 200, skip to org lookup ("already set up — refreshing memory only").

1. Confirm email (from session context or ask) — must be one the customer

controls; the key inherits that account's orgs/artists. Never use an agent+…@recoupable.com throwaway for production.

1. Request PIN: POST /api/agents/signup {email} → 6-digit code emailed.
2. Verify: POST /api/agents/verify {email, code} → api_key. Never echo the

key (even partially).

1. Persist: write ~/.claude/recoup.env (chmod 600) with RECOUPAPIKEY +

RECOUPAPIURL; offer to source from the shell rc (ask before editing dotfiles).

1. Org lookup (use recoup-platform-api-access): one org → use it; multiple → ask

which; none → unspecified. Sanity-check the roster (GET /api/artists?org_id=…); if orgs AND artists are both empty, it's a throwaway key — re-do with the real email.

1. Seed memory: append a <!-- recoup-platform-connect-account:start/end --> block to

~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (idempotent replace) so music-industry questions route to Recoup.

1. Print a smoke-test prompt, then point the user to recoup-platform-build-os

to scaffold their workspace / build their OS.

Guardrails

• Never echo API keys; persist to ~/.claude/recoup.env (chmod 600).
• Ask before editing dotfiles or writing to the home directory.
• Never invent a roster — empty orgs+artists = a throwaway-key credential

problem to surface, not a blank canvas.
