What problem does it solve?

New users often struggle to install and configure all dependencies required for VCV Rack module development. This skill provides a guided, platform-aware path to a working development environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detecting the current platform (macOS, Linux, Windows) and architecture
  • Checking for required dependencies (Python, build tools, Make, VCV Rack SDK)
  • Offering automated installation where possible or guided manual steps
  • Validating tool functionality and saving a validated configuration for build scripts

Quick Start

Run the setup flow: /setup and choose between Automated setup (1), Guided setup (2), or Check only (3)

Frequently Asked Questions about system-setup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a VCV Rack module development environment?▼

VCV Rack module development requires Python 3.8+, build tools, Make, VCV Rack SDK 2.0+, and Git. This Skill automates platform detection and dependency validation across macOS, Linux, and Windows, installing dependencies where possible or guiding manual setup, saving a validated configuration for repeatable builds.

Can I automate dependency checking for VCV Rack on different platforms?▼

Yes. This Skill detects your platform (macOS arm64/x64, Linux x64, or Windows x64) and automatically checks all required dependencies with version validation, offering automated installation or guided steps tailored to your system.

What's the fastest way to get VCV Rack SDK 2.0 and build tools configured?▼

Run the `/setup` command and select Automated setup to install and validate Python, Make, VCV Rack SDK 2.0+, and build tools in one flow. The Skill saves your validated configuration for clean, repeatable builds across rebuilds.

Do I need to manually install each VCV Rack dependency separately?▼

No. This Skill offers three paths: Automated setup installs dependencies where possible; Guided setup provides step-by-step manual instructions for unsupported systems; Check only validates existing installations without installing anything.

Can this work with my existing Git and build tool setup for VCV Rack modules?▼

Yes. The Skill checks your existing Python, Make, Git, and build tools during validation and only installs missing dependencies. It saves configuration that integrates with your existing build scripts.

What happens if my platform or VCV Rack SDK version isn't supported?▼

The Skill detects unsupported configurations and provides guided manual setup steps. It supports macOS (arm64/x64), Linux (x64), and Windows (x64) with VCV Rack SDK 2.0+; unsupported setups receive explicit instructions for manual configuration.
