Use as the optional substrate-linking stage of the Butterbase journey, after deploy and before submit. Asks whether to connect the deployed app to the owner's substrate (so functions get ctx.substrate). Skipped by default in hackathon mode.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Journey Substrate Stage (optional) Connect the deployed app to the owner's substrate so functions get `ctx.substrate` injected at cold start. Skip if the user has no AI-agent / memory use case. ## When to use Invoke automatically when the journey orchestrator's cursor reaches `substrate`. The row is optional in the checklist; skip silently if the user declines. ## Procedure 0. **Refresh docs.** Call `butterbase_docs` with `topic: "substrate"`. If the plan mentions AI memory / agent state / cross-session knowledge, also WebFetch `https://docs.butterbase.ai/substrate`. Skip if `docs/butterbase/03b-docs-cache.md` already covers `substrate`. 1. **Confirm.** Ask the user: > "Connect `<app_id>` to your substrate? This lets the app's functions read/write your agent memory via `ctx.substrate`. You can disable later. (yes / skip)" Default: **skip**. 2. **On skip:** mark the row `- [x] substrate (skipped — no agent memory needed)` in `docs/butterbase/00-state.md`. Write `docs/butterbase/04b-substrate.md` with one line: `Skipped on <date>.` Return. 3. **On yes:** a. If `platform_users.substrate_provisioned_at` is NULL for the caller, call `POST /v1/me/substrate/provision` first (or invoke w

What does the journey-substrate skill do?
Use as the optional substrate-linking stage of the Butterbase journey, after deploy and before submit. Asks whether to connect the deployed app to the owner's substrate (so functions get ctx.substrate). Skipped by default in hackathon mode.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add butterbase-ai/butterbase-skills --skill journey-substrate --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From butterbase-ai/butterbase-skills, a repository with 532 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
