docs: add Scoop as Windows installation method

[Mostafa-Ben-Git]

Adds Scoop as an alternative Windows installation method in the README.

The manifest is available in the ScoopInstaller/Extras bucket:

scoop install extras/t3code

The manifest was merged in ScoopInstaller/Extras#18626 and supports autoupdate via checkver + autoupdate pointing at GitHub Releases.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a small README-only change with no product runtime impact. The documented Scoop command may fail on standard installations because the Extras bucket is not enabled by default, so the installation instructions need review.

Notes:

• Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

official Scoop documentation default buckets extras bucket add extras scoop install manifest

💡 Result:

To add the extras bucket in Scoop and install packages from it, follow these steps: 1. Add the extras bucket: Run the following command in your terminal [1][2][3]: scoop bucket add extras Because the extras bucket is "well-known" to Scoop, you do not need to provide the repository URL; Scoop automatically knows where to find it [1][2]. 2. Install a package: Once the bucket has been added, you can install any package contained within it using the standard install command [4][5]: scoop install For example, to install an app named 'vlc' from the extras bucket: scoop install vlc If you ever need to add a custom bucket that is not "well-known," you must provide the Git repository URL [1][2]: scoop bucket add You can list all currently installed buckets at any time by running: scoop bucket list [6][7]

site:github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/t3code.json t3code Scoop manifest

💡 Result:

There is no official or commonly recognized Scoop manifest associated with the project named T3 Code (pingdotgg/t3code). T3 Code is a web GUI and agent harness for coding agents that is typically installed via npm (npx t3) or from GitHub Releases [1][2][3]. Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows that uses JSON files called manifests to manage software installations [4]. If you are looking to create or find a Scoop manifest, it would be a JSON file defining the installation source, version, and binaries for a specific application [5][4][6]. If you intend to install a project via Scoop, you can generally do so if a bucket contains a manifest for it. Since T3 Code is primarily a Node.js/Electron application managed via npm, it does not currently maintain a Scoop bucket or manifest in its official repository [1][2][3].

Add the extras bucket before installing t3code.

A default Scoop installation does not include the extras bucket. The t3code manifest is in ScoopInstaller/Extras, so scoop install t3code cannot resolve it until extras is added.

Proposed fix

+scoop bucket add extras
 scoop install t3code

Note

Written by claude-opus-5-5 on behalf of Maria

Macroscope is right here: the extras bucket is not enabled on a fresh Scoop install, so scoop install extras/t3code fails. Could you add the bucket step?

scoop install extras/t3code
