SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill bootstraps and validates a development environment by checking for required directories, CLI tools, and skill dependencies, ensuring a reliable start for new machines or projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment detection and summary reporting (OS, shell, current directory)
  • Verification of key CLI tools (Claude, Codex, Node, Git, Python) and skill dependencies
  • Initialization of project structure under .claude and inventory of external services
  • Use Case: You spin up a new workstation; run this skill to confirm everything is ready before proceeding with project work.

Quick Start

Example: /000-install to bootstrap and validate the environment. For a targeted check, use /000-install --check cli or --fix to install missing components.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate my development environment for Claude-based project automation?

To validate your development environment, this skill checks your OS, shell, working directory, and required CLI tools like Claude, Node, Git, and Python. It reports missing components and provides remediation steps to ensure your setup is ready for project automation workflows.

What CLI tools are required for bootstrapping a new project workstation?

The required CLI tools for bootstrapping are Claude, Codex, Node, Git, and Python. The skill verifies the availability of each tool and offers actionable setup commands to install any missing components needed for your development environment.

Can I use this environment validation skill to initialize project directories under .claude?

Yes, you can use this skill to initialize project structure directories under .claude. It verifies required directories under ~/.claude and inventories external services and preferences to ensure your environment is fully prepared for project work.

What is the best way to check for missing skill dependencies on a new machine?

The best way to check for missing skill dependencies is to run the bootstrap validation, which inventories external services and verifies required directories and CLI tools. It provides actionable guidance and setup commands for any missing components detected.

Why does my environment setup fail when required directories under ~/.claude are missing?

Environment setup fails when ~/.claude directories are missing because they store essential skill assets required for Claude-based automation workflows. The skill detects these missing directories and provides remediation steps and setup commands to create them.

How do I run a targeted check for specific CLI tools during environment bootstrap?

To run a targeted check for specific CLI tools, use the check flag with the cli parameter to verify only command-line tools. You can also use the fix flag to automatically install any missing components detected during the validation process.
