Hey Bob,
Welcome to the community! Sorry about the delay in the reply.

`prismic sm --setup --lib my-npm-package`
This command will

The CLI command will generate a new prismic repository & add the different files in your codebase to link your project to your prismic endpoint & setup the toolbar
### Download your custom library as a dependency
1. Add & download the dependency in your project
2. Reference your library in the sm-resolver to use those slices automatically in the Slicezone.
### Import your custom slices in your first created custom type.
1. Generate a new prismic repository
2. Create a page custom type
3. Add all slices definition to your page custom type.
For your second question, what you are describing is our 'Shared Slices' feature, which we are also planning to release in our next iteration.

Hey Team,
It's been a long time since we updated you on what we're currently working on for Slice Machine. The truth is that that we've been working for two months now on a fascinating addition, and we didn't want to spoil the surprise. We will reveal all in due time during or next product meetup the 28th of October, so if you want to know more it's free, so sign up now.
Anyway, we are continuing to release new improvements, and we wanted to update you on the new shiny things for Slice Machine…
Thanks.
