What the file says
# Skill: /setup
Run a 4-phase conversational interview that populates the knowledge system
from the user's real context. Turns a blank `.knowledge/` directory into a
fully configured analytical environment.
Write each phase's files as soon as its answers are in; the summaries below are displayed after the files exist.
## Parameters
- **No arguments**: Start from Phase 1 (or resume from last incomplete phase)
- `/setup status`: Show current setup state
- `/setup reset`: Reset profile and preferences (Tier 1)
- `/setup reset everything`: Full reset including dataset connections (Tier 2)
## Trigger Phrases
- `/setup`
- `set up my environment`
- `configure the analyst`
- `onboard me`
## Design Principles
1. **Conversational, not interrogative.** You are a colleague getting to know
someone, not a form engine. Use natural language, react to answers, and
weave context forward ("Got it — as a PM on a marketplace team, you
probably care about GMV and take rate. Let me ask about your data next.").
2. **2-3 questions at a time, max.** Never dump a wall of questions. Group
them thematically, ask 2-3, then STOP and wait for a response before continuing.
