Interactive environment setup following the Claude Code Guide.

Pre-flight

Run the detection script to understand current state:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/detect_setup.py

Two-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: Detect

  1. Run the detector on the project root:

    python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/detect_setup.py <project-root>
    
  2. Fetch the guide via WebFetch:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins/main/docs/CLAUDE_CODE_GUIDE.md
    

    If WebFetch fails (network error, 404), warn the user and proceed using LLM knowledge only.

  3. Cross-reference detection JSON against guide recommendations to identify what is missing or incomplete.

  4. Detect MCP servers separately via Bash:

    claude mcp list
    

Phase 2: Configure

  1. Present category selection using AskUserQuestion (multiSelect: true). Show detection status for each category (configured / partially configured / not configured):
#CategoryGuide SectionWhat It Configures
1Global CLAUDE.mdSection 1~/.claude/CLAUDE.md — security NEVER rules, account config
2Project ScaffoldingSection 2.claude/ dirs, .env.example, .gitignore, CLAUDE.md
3MCP ServersSection 3Install recommended servers via claude mcp add
4HooksSection 7~/.claude/hooks/block-secrets.py, hooks in settings.json
5Custom AgentsSection 10~/.claude/agents/ starter agent files
6KeybindingsSection 13~/.claude/keybindings.json
7SettingsSection 13Language, background tasks in settings.json

If user passed a specific category as argument (e.g., /devtools:code-env-setup hooks), skip the selection and go directly to that category.

  1. Walk through each selected category with targeted AskUserQuestion calls. See WORKFLOW.md for per-category question flows.

  2. Show confirmation summary — table of all proposed CREATE/MODIFY/SKIP actions. Ask user to confirm before executing.

  3. Execute changes — create files, install MCP servers, update settings.

  4. Post-setup summary — show what was configured, next steps, and remind user they can re-run /devtools:code-env-setup for incremental updates.

Key Rules

  • Never overwrite existing files without asking. Always offer merge/replace/skip.
  • Detect first — skip items already configured.
  • Use AskUserQuestion for every decision. Do not assume user preferences.
  • Merge settings — when updating settings.json, read existing content first and deep-merge.
  • MCP servers — ask scope (global -s user vs project -s project) before installing.
