The troubleshooting table catches a real, non-obvious gotcha (projectId/screenId must be numeric only, no 'projects/' prefix) that a generic MCP-setup answer would not know; but the whole skill hinges on manually getting a Stitch API key from stitch.withgoogle.com/settings first.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10

What Stitch Setup does
Step-by-step installer/troubleshooter for Google Stitch MCP (remote HTTP server at stitch.googleapis.com, API key or OAuth) and the 35-skill stitch-kit plugin in Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, or VS Code. Triggers on first-time setup, missing-tool diagnosis ('Stitch isn't available'), and connection troubleshooting; includes a symptom/fix table and a prompt-only offline fallback.
