SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Onboarding a repository or preparing a new project often fails because runtimes, tools, authentication, or workspace settings are missing or misconfigured, and ad-hoc setup silently mutates machines without evidence or approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Based Assessment: Inventories editors, Git, CLIs, runtimes, package managers, containers, and workspace configuration, classifying each requirement as ready, missing, misconfigured, unverified, or not-applicable with redacted evidence. - Approval-Gated Setup: Separates read-only assessment from mutating actions, requiring explicit approval before repository writes, installations, authentication, or remote changes, with secrets entered only by the user. - Validated Reporting: Produces a schema-validated JSON report and a derived Markdown report covering build, test, lint, debug, and security verification outcomes. - Use Case: When adopting a new Node.js repository, run this Skill to detect a missing supported Node release and absent test task, approve repository-local setup, then verify install, lint, test, debug, and security commands end to end. ## Quick Start Assess this repository's development environment readiness and produce an ordered remediation plan before I start coding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my development environment is ready for a new repository?

Run a readiness assessment that inventories your editor, Git, CLIs, language runtimes, package managers, and containers against the repository's documented requirements. Each requirement is classified as ready, missing, misconfigured, unverified, or not-applicable with redacted evidence and a minimal remediation.

How to set up a dev environment without changing global machine settings?

Use repository-local environments, lockfiles, tool manifests, and development containers instead of machine-wide installation. The assessment phase is read-only, and any mutating action requires explicit approval, applied one scope at a time with rollback instructions.

Can environment setup handle authentication and secrets securely?

Yes, but secrets, tokens, and passwords are never handled by the agent. The user enters all credentials directly into trusted interactive prompts, and authentication is verified only through safe metadata like account, tenant, or scope, never credential material.

What happens when a required tool or access is unavailable during setup?

The skill returns a blocked status when required access, trusted installation sources, runtime compatibility, or secure authentication is unavailable. It returns degraded when optional capabilities are missing, identifying the manual validation owner instead of guessing.

When should I not use an environment readiness assessment?

Do not use it for feature implementation or ongoing development work; it is scoped to pre-coding onboarding and project preparation. It also stops before elevation, destructive replacement, or external mutation that lacks explicit approval.
