OrchestKit Setup Wizard
Personalized onboarding that scans your codebase, detects your stack, recommends skills and MCPs, and generates an actionable improvement plan.
When to Use
- First time after installing OrchestKit (
/plugin install ork) - Joining a new project and want OrchestKit tuned for it
- Periodically with
--rescanto track improvement - Enterprise users who need safe, user-scoped install confirmation
Quick Start
/ork:setup # Full 8-phase wizard
/ork:setup --rescan # Re-scan after changes (skip safety phase)
/ork:setup --score-only # Just show readiness score
/ork:setup --plan-only # Just show improvement plan
/ork:setup --channel # Just show release channel
/ork:setup --configure # Jump directly to Phase 3.5: project configuration wizard
Argument Resolution
FLAG = "$ARGUMENTS[0]" # First token: --rescan, --score-only, --plan-only, --channel
# If no arguments, run full 8-phase wizard.
# $ARGUMENTS is the full string (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)
The Nine Phases
| Phase | What | Tools Used | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Scan | Detect languages, frameworks, infra, existing config | Glob, Grep, Read | Raw scan data |
| 2. Stack | Classify detected stack, confidence levels | — | Stack profile |
| 3. Safety | Check existing config, confirm scope (user/project) | Read, AskUserQuestion | Install confirmation |
| 3.5. Configure | Interactive project configuration wizard → writes env block to per-project settings | Read, Write, AskUserQuestion | Configured settings file |
| 4. Skills | Match stack to skills, suggest custom skills | Grep, Glob | Skill recommendations |
| 5. MCPs | Recommend MCPs based on stack and gaps | Read, Bash | MCP recommendations |
| 6. Score | Compute readiness score (0-10, 6 dimensions) | All above data | Readiness score |
| 7. Plan | Prioritized improvements with runnable commands | — | Action plan |
| 8. Keys | Install recommended keyboard shortcuts | Read, Bash, AskUserQuestion | Keybindings |
Phase 1: Scan
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/scan-phase.md") for full scan commands (20 parallel Glob probes + dependency file reads + pattern detection counts).
Scans for package manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml, etc.), infrastructure (Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, K8s), and existing CC configuration. Pattern detection counts API routes, React components, models, and tests for custom skill suggestions.
Phase 2: Stack Detection
Classify scan results into a stack profile and present to user (languages, frameworks, database, infra, testing, existing CC config).
Load Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/stack-skill-mapping.md") for the full stack-to-skill mapping table, MCP recommendation matrix, and custom skill suggestion patterns.
Phase 2b: Channel Detection
Detect release channel from manifests/ork.json version string. Classification: X.Y.Z = stable, X.Y.Z-beta.* = beta, X.Y.Z-alpha.* = alpha. Display alongside stack profile. Use --channel flag to show only channel detection.
Phase 3: Safety Check
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/safety-check.md") for the full AskUserQuestion prompt and conflict detection logic.
Offers three install scopes: User-only (recommended, invisible to teammates), Project-wide (committed to repo), or Already installed (skip to configure). Checks for existing OrchestKit installs and conflicting plugins.
Phase 3.5: Project Configuration Wizard
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/configure-wizard.md") for the full 6-step interactive configuration flow (branch strategy, commit scope, localhost browser, perf telemetry, log verbosity, webhook telemetry) and env var reference.
Also reachable directly via
/ork:setup --configure— skips phases 1-3.
Phase 4: Skill Recommendations
Present skill categories using AskUserQuestion with 4 focus options (Full-stack, Backend, Frontend, DevOps) with multiSelect: true. Load Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/stack-skill-mapping.md") for mapping tables and custom skill suggestions.
Phase 5: MCP Recommendations
Check installed vs recommended MCPs by reading .mcp.json and ~/.claude/settings.json. Load Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/stack-skill-mapping.md") for the MCP recommendation matrix. Present as toggles with install commands.
Phase 6: Readiness Score
Compute a composite score (0-10) from 6 dimensions. Load Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/readiness-scoring.md") for dimension weights, score presentation template, memory integration, and improvement plan template.
Phase 7: Improvement Plan
Generate prioritized, runnable recommendations in P0/P1/P2 tiers. See readiness-scoring.md for the template and memory persistence pattern.
Phase 7b: CLAUDE.md Health Check
After the improvement plan, check if the user's CLAUDE.md could benefit from CC 2.1.59+ modular structure.
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/claude-md-health.md") for analysis steps, thresholds, @import syntax, and .claude/rules/ path-scoped rules.
# Quick check
Bash(command="wc -l CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $1}'")
Glob(pattern=".claude/rules/*.md")
If CLAUDE.md > 200 lines and no .claude/rules/ exist, recommend splitting. Show the output template from the reference doc.
Phase 8: Keybindings
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/keybindings.md") for the full keybinding prompt, default shortcuts, and merge logic.
Offers 5 recommended shortcuts (commit, verify, implement, explore, review-pr). Merges with existing ~/.claude/keybindings.json without overwriting user-defined bindings.
Post-Setup
Tip (CC 2.1.69+): After setup completes, run
/reload-pluginsto activate all plugin changes without restarting your session.
Phase 9: Telemetry & Webhooks
Previously in
/ork:configure. Now part of setup for single entry point.
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/telemetry-setup.md") for the full configuration flow.
Ask user preference with AskUserQuestion:
| Mode | Events | Auth | Overhead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full streaming | All 18 CC events via HTTP hooks | Bearer token | Near-zero |
| Summary only | SessionEnd + worktree events | HMAC auth | None |
| Skip | No telemetry | — | None |
If streaming selected:
- Ask for webhook URL
- Run
npm run generate:http-hooks -- <url> --write - Save to
.claude/orchestration/config.json - Remind about
ORCHESTKIT_HOOK_TOKENenv var
Phase 10: Optional Integrations
Load details: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/integrations.md") for setup steps.
Covers Agentation UI annotation tool and CC version-specific settings (CC 2.1.7 turn duration, CC 2.1.20 task deletion, CC 2.1.23 spinner verbs).
