SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone manual setup of Codagent Agent Skills in development projects, ensuring all required prerequisites and validator configurations are correctly in place before use.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prerequisite Validation: Automatically checks if the agent-validator CLI is installed and meets the minimum version requirement of 0.15 or higher.
  • Config Verification: Confirms the required .validator/config.yml file exists in the project root to enable downstream workflow skills.
  • Idempotent Operation: Safe to re-run at any time without overwriting existing project configuration, making it ideal for both new and existing projects.
  • Use Case: A developer starting a new feature branch can run this skill once to confirm their project is properly configured for agent-assisted planning, implementation, and PR workflows before beginning work.

Quick Start

Frequently Asked Questions about init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up agent skills for Claude Code or Cursor development workflows?

Codagent Agent Skills setup requires validating that the agent-validator CLI is installed at version 0.15 or higher and that the .validator/config.yml file exists in your project root. The init process checks these prerequisites before enabling downstream workflows.

How do I configure a .validator/config.yml file for an existing project?

Configuring the .validator/config.yml file for an existing project is handled by running an idempotent initialization operation. This safely verifies or creates the required project configuration without overwriting your existing files, preparing the project for agent-assisted workflows.

What prerequisites are needed to enable downstream workflow skills in development projects?

The prerequisites to enable downstream workflow skills are the agent-validator CLI installed at version 0.15 or higher and a valid .validator/config.yml file in the project root. The initialization process automatically verifies these requirements.

Can I re-run project setup on an existing repository without overwriting my configuration?

Yes, you can safely re-run the project setup on an existing repository because the initialization operation is idempotent. It validates the existing .validator/config.yml configuration and CLI prerequisites without overwriting your current project files.

Why does my agent-validator CLI fail to enable downstream workflow skills?

Your agent-validator CLI may fail to enable downstream workflow skills if it is installed below the required version 0.15, or if the .validator/config.yml file is missing from your project root. Running initialization validates and highlights these specific setup errors.
