SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New staff often struggle to initialize their local development environment and gain access to GitHub org resources. This skill provides a guided checklist and automated steps to verify OS, shell, and tool prerequisites, and to install or configure Git, GitHub CLI, Node.js, Python tools, and Claude Code components so users can begin work quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided environment validation across Windows and macOS, including OS detection, shell identification, and tool version checks.
  • Automated installer orchestration for Git, Git Bash path, PATH augmentation, Node.js, Claude Code CLI, and VSCode setup, plus /dev-setup skill drop for immediate onboarding.
  • Interactive prompts and safe fallbacks to accommodate users with varying admin rights and internet connectivity, with clear remediation steps.

Quick Start

Run the interactive installer in this directory as an administrator to begin the dev-setup workflow and place the /dev-setup skill on disk.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Git and GitHub access for a new development environment?

To set up a local dev environment, this skill provides a guided checklist and automated steps to verify your OS, identify your shell, and check tool versions. It orchestrates installations for Git, Node.js, Python, and Claude Code components with interactive prompts and safe fallbacks.

Does the dev environment setup workflow support both Windows and macOS?

Yes, the dev environment setup workflow supports both Windows and macOS. It detects your operating system and shell to apply the correct configurations, including Git Bash path augmentation on Windows and prerequisite tooling checks across both platforms.

How do I install Node.js, Python, and Claude Code CLI prerequisites for onboarding?

To install Node.js, Python, and Claude Code CLI prerequisites, run the interactive installer as an administrator. The skill orchestrates automated installer steps, places the /dev-setup skill on disk, and provides clear remediation steps if you lack admin rights or internet connectivity.

What is the best way to validate local tooling prerequisites before starting development?

The best way to validate local tooling prerequisites is using a guided environment validation process that checks your OS, shell, and installed tool versions. This skill automates those checks and provides clear remediation steps for missing dependencies like Git or Node.js.

Why does my automated dev-setup installation fail without administrator rights?

Automated dev-setup installation may fail without administrator rights because installing tools like Git, Node.js, and Python often requires elevated privileges. The skill accommodates this by providing interactive prompts and safe fallbacks with clear remediation steps for users with varying admin access.
