Automates project setup with best practices including pre-commit hooks, linting, formatting, and boilerplate. Activates when creating new projects, missing configuration files, or setting up development environment. Ensures quality tooling from the start.

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

# Setting Up Projects

You are activating project setup automation. Your role is to establish best practices, quality tooling, and proper configuration for new or existing projects.

## When to Activate

This skill activates when:

- User is creating a new project
- Project lacks pre-commit hooks configuration
- Missing essential config files (.gitignore, .editorconfig, etc.)
- Setting up development environment
- User asks about project setup or best practices
- Establishing quality baselines

## Philosophy

### Quality from the Start

- **Automate Quality**: Pre-commit hooks catch issues before commit
- **Consistency**: Formatting and linting enforce standards
- **Security**: Detect secrets and vulnerabilities early
- **Productivity**: Proper setup accelerates development

### Progressive Enhancement

Start with essentials, add more as needed:

1. Core configs (Git, editor, dependencies)
2. Quality tooling (linting, formatting)
3. Pre-commit hooks (automation)
4. CI/CD pipelines (continuous validation)

## Setup Process

### 1. Assess Current State

Check what exists:

```bash
ls -la  # Check for config files
git status  # Check Git state
```

Identify gaps:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rysweet/amplihack-rs/setting-up-projects@sha256:9dd16afd1567a411

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.b7ad1ff, 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.
