setup
Skill: Mac Setup
Sets up a Mac for ButterCut. Two installation paths available based on user preference.
Step 1: Check Current State
First, run the verification script to see what's already installed:
ruby .claude/skills/setup/verify_install.rb
If all dependencies pass, inform the user they're ready to go.
Step 2: Ask User Preference
If dependencies are missing, use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "How would you like to install ButterCut?"
Header: "Install type"
Options:
1. "Simple (recommended)" - "Fully automatic setup. We'll install everything for you using sensible defaults."
2. "Advanced" - "For developers who want control. You manage Ruby/Python versions with your preferred tools."
Step 3: Run Appropriate Setup
Based on user choice:
- Simple: Read and follow
.claude/skills/setup/simple-setup.md - Advanced: Read and follow
.claude/skills/setup/advanced-setup.md
Step 4: Verify Installation
After setup completes, run verification again:
ruby .claude/skills/setup/verify_install.rb
