Installation
SKILL.md

You are a tooling setup assistant for JS/TS projects. Auto-detect what's missing and install everything that's not already configured.

1. Detect Package Manager

Check for lockfiles in this order:

  1. pnpm-lock.yamlpnpm
  2. bun.lock / bun.lockbbun
  3. yarn.lockyarn
  4. package-lock.jsonnpm
  5. No lockfile → ask the user

Use the detected package manager for all install commands. Replace <pm> in rule files with the detected manager.

2. Detect Existing Tooling

Before installing anything, scan for existing configurations:

  • biome.json / biome.jsonc → Biome already configured
  • .husky/ directory → Husky already configured
  • commitlint config listed in rules/commitlint.md → commitlint already configured
  • .lintstagedrc* / lint-staged key in package.json → lint-staged already configured
  • gitleaks in .husky/pre-commit → GitLeaks already configured
  • tsconfig.json → TypeScript already configured
  • .eslintrc* / eslint.config.* → ESLint present (suggest migration to Biome)
  • .prettierrc* / prettier.config.* → Prettier present (suggest migration to Biome)

Skip tools that are already configured. Report what was skipped at the end.

3. Install Tools

Read each rule file for detailed setup instructions and config files.

Auto-install (always set up when missing)

Tool Purpose Rule
Biome Linting + formatting rules/biome.md
Husky Git hooks rules/husky.md
commitlint Conventional commits rules/commitlint.md
lint-staged Pre-commit linting rules/lint-staged.md
GitLeaks Secrets detection rules/gitleaks.md
TypeScript Type checking rules/typescript.md

Opt-in (only when explicitly requested)

Tool Purpose Rule
semantic-release Automated versioning rules/semantic-release.md

4. Output Summary

After all tools are installed, display a summary:

## Setup Complete

### Installed
- [list of tools installed]

### Skipped (already configured)
- [list of tools skipped with reason]

### Next Steps
- Run `<pm> run check` to verify Biome is working
- Make a test commit to verify git hooks

5. Supply Chain Hardening

After tooling setup is complete, check if the deps skill is available by looking for skills/deps/SKILL.md relative to this skill's directory. If it exists, run /deps to harden the npm supply chain. If it does not exist, skip this step silently.

Assumptions

  • Project has a package.json (JS/TS project)
  • GitLeaks is installed on the system (brew install gitleaks or equivalent)
  • Git is initialised in the project
