SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the first-time configuration of the Claude Foundry plugin, delivering a safe, idempotent setup that can be re-run without side effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided, phased setup: Pre-flight checks, permissions management, workspace initialization, and configuration application in a structured sequence.
  • Safe, repeatable runs: Designed to be idempotent; running again preserves state and surfaces only necessary actions.
  • Spec-driven onboarding: Aligns workflow with the Foundry Reference instructions to bootstrap the development environment.

Quick Start

Run the foundry-setup skill to perform the initial configuration. Use --check to execute only Pre-flight Checks; omit the flag for a full setup. Follow prompts or references/setup.md guidance to complete workspace scaffolding and configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the Foundry plugin for Claude Code?

To set up the Foundry plugin for Claude Code, run the foundry-setup skill to automate pre-flight checks, permissions, workspace scaffolding, and configuration stamping in a phased sequence.

What is automated workspace scaffolding for Claude Code MCP servers?

Automated workspace scaffolding initializes your development environment by applying configuration stamps and permissions management, ensuring the foundry-mcp server aligns with Foundry Reference instructions.

Do I need Python and Git to configure the Foundry MCP server?

Yes, configuring the Foundry MCP server requires the Python toolchain and Git access, alongside the foundry-mcp server, to execute pre-flight checks and workspace initialization safely.

Can I safely re-run the Foundry plugin configuration without side effects?

Yes, you can safely re-run the Foundry plugin configuration because the setup process is idempotent, preserving existing state and surfacing only necessary actions on repeated executions.

How do I run only pre-flight checks before a full MCP workspace setup?

To run only pre-flight checks for MCP workspace setup, execute the foundry-setup skill with the --check flag, omitting the flag when you are ready for the full configuration application.

What's the best way to automate permissions management for Claude Code workspaces?

The best way to automate permissions management for Claude Code workspaces is using a phased setup skill that applies configuration stamping idempotently, preventing side effects during repeated runs.
