project-setup SKILL.md skillA

project-setup from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/project-setup@git:20260926.073af7e

Pins git:20260926.073af7e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Project configuration initialization. Use when: first-time setup, auto-detecting framework, replacing CLAUDE.md placeholders. Not for: ongoing config checks (use claude-health), skill creation (use skill-creator). Output: configured CLAUDE.md + project settings + rules + hooks.

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

# Project Setup

## Trigger

- Keywords: project setup, init, initialize, configure project, setup CLAUDE.md, customize placeholders

## When NOT to Use

- CLAUDE.md placeholders are already fully replaced (no `{...}` remaining)
- Non Node.js/TypeScript project without a recognized manifest file -- run with `--detect-only` to see what can be auto-detected. Manual configuration may be needed for: {FRAMEWORK}, {CONFIG_FILE}, {BOOTSTRAP_FILE}. Script commands ({TEST_COMMAND}, etc.) can often be detected from manifest files
- Only want to modify a single placeholder -- just Edit CLAUDE.md directly

## Workflow

```
Phase 1: Detect project environment
    │
    ├─ Read package.json (dependencies, devDependencies, scripts)
    ├─ Detect lockfile (pnpm-lock.yaml / yarn.lock / package-lock.json)
    ├─ Detect entrypoints (glob src/)
    └─ Compile results
    │
Phase 2: Confirm detection results
    │
    ├─ Present detection results table
    └─ Wait for user confirmation or corrections
    │
Phase 3: Write to .claude/CLAUDE.md (unless --detect-only)
    │
    ├─ Read CLAUDE.template.md, filter ecosystem blocks
    └─ Replace placeholders, write to .claude/CLAUDE.md
    │

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/project-setup@sha256:5df151b4580919da

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.073af7e, 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.
