Contains Shell Commands

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 + enabledPlugins to .claude/settings.json (critical for web sessions)
  • Creates/updates .github/workflows/claude.yml and claude-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.
  • AskUserQuestion is required for migration offers — this skill must not run on haiku model.
  • extraKnownMarketplaces in .claude/settings.json is the key to surviving ephemeral web sessions.
  • The SessionStart hook uses CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE guard so it is a no-op in local sessions.

Agentic Optimizations

Context Command

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.
