Use on first install of this plugin, when MO2 or xEdit is not yet detected, when starting a new modpack project, or when the user says 'set up', 'install', 'bootstrap', 'configure', or 'initialize' the BGS modding environment. Orchestrates: MO2 detection and control-plane install, MO2 visible launch, optional xEdit download from BB-84C/TES5Edit, optional bgs-translator/xtl PyPI install, dev-log and release-changelog initialization, and end-to-end semantic smoke verification.
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 the BGS Modding Environment
This is the first-run bootstrap. Use it when:
- The user installed `bgs-modding-superpowers` and this is the first conversation
in their project directory.
- A new modpack project is being set up from scratch.
- MO2 path is not yet known to the agent.
- The user explicitly asks to "set up", "install", "bootstrap", "configure", or
"initialize" the BGS modding environment.
- A subsequent skill (e.g., `xedit-automation`) finds the environment incomplete
and routes back here.
## Hard guardrails
- **Do NOT install MO2 yourself by default.** The default path is to detect MO2
and, if absent, guide the human user to install it themselves. Agent-driven
install requires explicit user consent ("yes, install MO2 for me").
- **Never write into the user's vanilla game install** (e.g.,
`<Steam>/steamapps/common/<Game>/Data/`). All overlays go through MO2.
- **Treat the user's existing MO2 profile as canonical.** Do not silently mutate
`profiles/<Profile>/plugins.txt`, `modlist.txt`, INIs, or load order.
- **Pause and surface state before each install action.** The user should always
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins/setting-up-bgs-modding-environment@sha256:d7c3f52408804442The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260802.969be22, 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.
