DatoCMS Setup

Public setup entrypoint. Keep surface small, inspect repo first, load only needed internal recipe files.

Workflow

1. Inspect repo silently before asking, follow references/repo-conventions.md + patterns/MANDATORY_RULES.md.
2. Greenfield gate — if no package.json and no datocms.config.json, ask link-vs-create per patterns/MANDATORY_RULES.md § Project link or create before any recipe selection. On "create" → wait for confirmation, queue datocms-content-modeling before any frontend recipe.
3. Read references/router.md.
4. Read references/recipe-manifest.json, pick smallest recipe/bundle for request.
5. Use targeted mode for clear setup outcomes. Discovery mode only for broad/ambiguous:
   • Stage A: pick setup lane.
   • Stage B: ask smallest setup-specific follow-up only when repo inspection leaves high-impact decision unresolved.
6. Queue prerequisites from manifest before dependents. Never tell user to invoke separate setup skill.
   • visual-editing: always apply draft-mode + content-link.
   • Add web-previews unless user wants website-only click-to-edit.
   • Add realtime only if user asks or confirms in Stage B.
   • Project baseline (TypeScript projects): queue cma-types alongside cli-bootstrap for any greenfield or first-time DatoCMS+TS setup. Default for a fully typed CMA experience; not opt-in.
7. Load only selected recipes/<group>/<recipe>/recipe.md, shared setup references, sibling-skill references.
8. Create todo list — one task per queued recipe + prerequisite, plus discrete sub-steps within each recipe (file edits, installs, env vars, verification). Mark complete as you go, never batch. Setup bundles always have many steps; todos keep progress visible and recoverable.
9. Schema/modeling intent (add models, edit fields, design taxonomy) → datocms-content-modeling. Don't improvise schema here.
10. Patch existing code in-place by default.
11. End with patterns/OUTPUT_STATUS.md: report scaffolded vs production-ready, summarize recipes, list unresolved placeholders.

Rules

• Don't load every recipe upfront.
• Don't use external setup bundles. Prefer sibling DatoCMS skill references over copies.
• Treat draft-mode, web-previews, visual-editing, migration-release-workflow as internal labels.
• Apply shared foundation once if outcomes overlap.
• Broad setup: ask compact Stage A, execute minimal bundle.
• Stage B only for unresolved high-impact decisions repo can't answer.
• Migration-heavy: ask smallest extra follow-up to separate baseline, profiles, histories, helpers, resets, diffs.
• Report scaffolded when recipe depends on placeholders/provider choices/routes/ownership repo couldn't resolve.
• Report production-ready only when no unresolved customer-specific values remain.
• End by summarizing used recipes and available follow-up ids inside datocms-setup.
