global-setup

Git configuration for plugin development requires setting user.name and user.email. The global-setup Skill automates this by reading your marketplace path, validating your git repository, and configuring these settings so you can start developing plugins immediately without manual git commands.

Marketplace path configuration stores your SkillForge marketplace location in ~/.skillforge-config so the system knows where your plugins live. This Skill validates the path points to a real git repository and prompts you to create one if needed, eliminating manual setup errors.

Yes. Author information—stored in git user.name and user.email—identifies you across all your plugins. The global-setup Skill prompts you for these details once during initial setup, then reuses them for all subsequent plugin creation without re-entry.

Yes. The Skill handles new marketplace creation by generating an initial git repository and commit if your marketplace path doesn't exist yet. It validates the path, initializes git, and configures author settings in a single run.

The global-setup Skill detects missing git user.name, user.email, or invalid repository paths, then prompts you interactively to provide them. It validates entries and applies them immediately so your environment is ready for plugin development.

Validation checks that your marketplace path exists, points to a valid git repository, and that git user.name and user.email are configured. The Skill reads ~/.skillforge-config, reports any gaps, and guides you through corrections step by step.
