FAQPage Schema

How do I set up the claude-foundry plugin safely for the first time?▼

Claude-foundry setup automates initial configuration through phased workflows including pre-flight checks, permissions, workspace provisioning, and provider configuration. Run the foundry-setup skill with no flags for full setup, or use --check/--preflight flags to validate your environment first. Always review references/setup.md before proceeding.

What pre-flight checks does foundry-setup perform?▼

Pre-flight checks verify MCP connectivity, Python toolchain availability, and Git installation. Run with --preflight flag to validate these prerequisites without executing full setup. This ensures your environment meets requirements before proceeding with configuration.

Is it safe to run foundry-setup multiple times?▼

Yes, foundry-setup is idempotent and designed to run safely multiple times. Re-running produces predictable results and won't corrupt existing configuration. Use --check flag to preview changes without applying them.

What does foundry-setup configure after pre-flight validation?▼

After validating prerequisites, foundry-setup manages permissions for plugin tooling, provisions and configures your workspace, and sets up AI provider configuration. The phased workflow orchestrates this end-to-end from preflight through workspace and provider setup.

Can I run specific phases of the setup independently?▼

Yes, foundry-setup supports phased workflows that can run in sequence or standalone. Review references/setup.md to understand Phase 1 through Phase 2 instructions and run individual phases as needed for your workflow.

What permissions does foundry-setup need to enable?▼

Foundry-setup manages permissions required for plugin tooling to function correctly with claude-foundry. The setup process handles permission configuration automatically as part of workspace initialization.
