dev-kit-setup SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

dev-kit-setup from theam/claude-dev-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

First-use bootstrap for the dev kit. Detects the team's issue tracker, discovers what it can via MCP/CLI, asks only what cannot be discovered, and persists the result to .claude/dev-kit.json in the consuming repo. Use when that file is missing, when the user asks to set up or reconfigure the kit, or when issue-fetch cannot resolve its configuration.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Dev Kit Setup

Make the kit self-sufficient: detect the tracker, discover everything possible automatically, ask the user only for genuine choices, and persist the result so **nobody on the team has to configure anything again**.

## When to run

- `.claude/dev-kit.json` does not exist (or lacks a `tracker` block) and a kit skill (e.g. `issue-fetch`) needs it.
- The user explicitly asks to set up or reconfigure the kit.
- A stored value turns out to be invalid (e.g. a field ID no longer exists) — re-discover just that value.

## 1. Determine the tracker

Pick `tracker.type` with the least friction:

1. If the triggering reference makes it obvious, use it (`PROJ-1234`/`ENG-42` → Jira/Linear key style; `#123` → GitHub/Azure).
2. Check which backends are actually available: is an Atlassian or Linear MCP authenticated? Is `gh` logged in for this repo? Is Azure DevOps configured?
3. If still ambiguous, **ask the user once** which tracker the team uses: Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, or Azure DevOps.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add theam/claude-dev-kit/dev-kit-setup@sha256:034a9a35572ee2f8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.0c1a186, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
