configure-repo
This skill contains shell command directives (!`command`) that may execute system commands. Review carefully before installing.
/configure:repo
End-to-end driver that brings any repo's Claude Code configuration to a healthy baseline in one command. Produces committed-ready files: .claude/settings.json (permissions + marketplace enrollment), a SessionStart hook, and scripts/install_pkgs.sh.
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use another approach when... |
|---|---|
| Onboarding a new repo to Claude Code from scratch | Changing a single setting — use /configure:claude-plugins or /configure:web-session directly |
| Updating an existing repo to the latest baseline config | Diagnosing a specific hook or plugin issue — use /health:check directly |
| Checking what would change before committing | Running a health-only audit — use /health:check |
| Setting up a repo for ephemeral web sessions (claude.ai/code) | Managing plugins on an already-configured repo |
Context
Detect current state and project stack:
- Existing settings: !
find .claude -maxdepth 1 -name 'settings.json' -type f - Install script: !
find . -name 'install_pkgs.sh' -path '*/scripts/*' - Workflows: !
find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name 'claude*.yml' - Project files: !
find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'package.json' -o -name 'pyproject.toml' -o -name 'Cargo.toml' -o -name 'go.mod' -o -name 'justfile' -o -name 'Justfile' \) - ESP indicators: !
find . -maxdepth 2 \( -name 'idf_component.yml' -o -name 'sdkconfig' \) - Pre-commit config: !
find . -maxdepth 1 -name '.pre-commit-config.yaml' - Git remote: !
git remote -v
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
--check-only |
Report what would change without modifying any files |
--skip-health |
Skip the final /health:check validation step |
--skip-migrations |
Skip migration detection (don't offer mypy→ty etc.) |
Execution
Execute this end-to-end repository configuration workflow:
Step 1: Detect project stack
Identify the stack from the context above. Produce a brief summary:
Stack detected:
Language: Python (uv + ruff) | Node/TypeScript | Rust | Go | ESP-IDF | ESPHome | ...
Tools: pre-commit, just, docker, ...
Migrations: mypy→ty candidate | black→ruff-format candidate | flake8→ruff candidate | ESLint→Biome candidate
If --check-only, annotate all subsequent steps as "(would do)" rather than doing them.
Step 2: Configure plugins, permissions, and marketplace enrollment
Invoke /configure:claude-plugins --fix using the SlashCommand tool.
This step:
- Selects recommended plugins based on detected stack
- Writes
permissions.allow(common + stack-aware) to.claude/settings.json - Writes
extraKnownMarketplaces+enabledPluginsto.claude/settings.json(critical for web sessions) - Creates/updates
.github/workflows/claude.ymlandclaude-code-review.yml
Step 3: Configure SessionStart hook and install script
Invoke /configure:web-session --fix using the SlashCommand tool.
This step generates scripts/install_pkgs.sh with idempotent tool installs gated on CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE=true, and wires the SessionStart hook in .claude/settings.json.
If the project uses language-level deps (Python, Node, Rust, Go), also invoke /hooks:session-start-hook --remote-only using the SlashCommand tool to add dependency installation to the hook script.
Step 4: Offer migrations (unless --skip-migrations)
Detect these migratable patterns and ask whether to run each migration via AskUserQuestion:
| Pattern detected | Migration to offer | Skill to invoke |
|---|---|---|
.pre-commit-config.yaml contains mirrors-mypy or [tool.mypy] in pyproject.toml |
mypy → ty | /migration-patterns:mypy-to-ty |
.pre-commit-config.yaml contains psf/black |
black → ruff-format | /migration-patterns:black-to-ruff-format |
.pre-commit-config.yaml contains pycqa/flake8 or PyCQA/isort |
flake8/isort → ruff | /migration-patterns:flake8-to-ruff |
.eslintrc* or eslint.config.* present, no biome.json |
ESLint → Biome | /migration-patterns:eslint-to-biome |
For each detected pattern, ask: "Found [pattern] — offer to migrate? (y/n)". Only run the migration skill if the user confirms.
Migrations are not part of the happy path. If the user declines all migrations, continue to Step 5.
Step 5: Validate with health check (unless --skip-health)
Invoke /health:check using the SlashCommand tool.
Parse the health check output. If any checks fail:
- Report the specific failures
- Suggest how to fix them
- Continue (do not abort — the config files are still staged)
Step 6: Stage files and report
Run git status to list all created/modified files. Stage the relevant files:
git add .claude/settings.json
git add scripts/install_pkgs.sh # if created
git add .github/workflows/claude.yml # if created
git add .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml # if created
Print a summary:
configure-repo complete
=======================
Repository: <repo-name>
Files staged:
.claude/settings.json [CREATED | UPDATED]
scripts/install_pkgs.sh [CREATED | UPDATED | SKIPPED]
.github/workflows/claude.yml [CREATED | UPDATED | SKIPPED]
.github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml [CREATED | UPDATED | SKIPPED]
Marketplace enrollment:
.claude/settings.json → extraKnownMarketplaces.claude-plugins ✓
.github/workflows/claude.yml → plugin_marketplaces ✓
Health check: PASS | WARN (<N> warnings) | FAIL (<N> failures)
Next steps:
1. Review the staged diff: git diff --cached
2. Commit: git commit -m "chore(claude): configure repo for Claude Code"
3. Add CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN to repository secrets
4. Push and test: mention @claude in a PR comment
If --check-only was set, prefix the summary with "DRY RUN — no files modified".
Important Notes
- This skill is a thin orchestrator — it contains no business logic. All logic lives in its dependencies.
- Never auto-commit; always stage and let the user review with
git diff --cached. AskUserQuestionis required for migration offers — this skill must not run onhaikumodel.extraKnownMarketplacesin.claude/settings.jsonis the key to surviving ephemeral web sessions.- The SessionStart hook uses
CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTEguard so it is a no-op in local sessions.
Agentic Optimizations
| Context | Command |
|---|---|
| Full setup with health check | /configure:repo |
| Dry-run, no file changes | /configure:repo --check-only |
| Setup without migration prompts | /configure:repo --skip-migrations |
| Quick setup, skip health | /configure:repo --skip-health --skip-migrations |
| Stage and review | git diff --cached |
Dependencies (driver freshness)
This skill orchestrates these dependencies. If any dependency's modified: date is newer than this skill's reviewed: date, run scripts/check-driver-freshness.sh and update this skill accordingly.
