SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

admin:install prevents stalled plugin and office-workflows by automatically detecting missing CLI/package dependencies and installing what it can for the current macOS or Linux sandbox environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment detection: Identifies macOS (Homebrew) vs Linux sandbox (apt/pip/npm) to choose the correct install strategy.
  • Dependency manifest scanning: Reads the repo’s dependency mapping to determine which tools to install per skill and per environment.
  • Actionable install results: Produces a clear summary of what was installed, what failed, and what requires manual authentication or is unavailable in that environment.
  • Authentication and workarounds: Flags tools that need post-install login (tokens, OAuth, desktop-app sessions) and points to environment-variable or host-based alternatives.

Quick Start

Run admin:install to bootstrap dependencies for your current environment so other office and research-lab skills can work without missing-tool failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap missing CLI dependencies in a fresh Linux sandbox environment?

To bootstrap missing CLI dependencies in a fresh Linux sandbox, the environment detection process identifies the host system and installs available packages using apt, pip, or npm based on a managed dependency map. It compiles a dependency-to-command manifest and runs installs in the correct order.

Does the dependency installation process work with macOS Homebrew?

Yes, the dependency installation process works with macOS Homebrew. It detects the macOS host environment and selects the correct package-manager strategy, automatically installing available dependencies and reporting any tools that require manual authentication or are unavailable.

How do I resolve plugin setup failures caused by absent runtime prerequisites?

To resolve plugin setup failures caused by absent runtime prerequisites, run an environment detection and dependency bootstrapping process that scans a dependency manifest, installs missing packages, and reports installation status including tools requiring post-install login or OAuth tokens.

What happens when a required package needs authentication after installation?

When a required package needs authentication after installation, the bootstrapping process flags the tool as authentication-required. It reports the status and points to environment-variable or host-based alternatives to satisfy the dependency without stalling the workflow.

Can I use automated dependency bootstrapping for CI pipeline runs?

Yes, you can use automated dependency bootstrapping for CI pipeline runs. It applies to fresh setups and CI sandbox environments by detecting the host platform, selecting the correct package manager, and installing missing tooling to prevent stalled office and research-lab workflows.

Why does my office workflow stall when missing third-party tooling is detected?

Your office workflow stalls when missing third-party tooling is detected because required CLIs, packages, or runtime prerequisites are absent. Dependency bootstrapping prevents this by scanning the environment, installing available tools, and reporting unavailable items that need manual setup.
