f-setup

/f-setup
skill

Install the method into a repo or upgrade it, write the repo profile, and prove the install.

On site

Before the first job, once per repo, and again for each upgrade (never while a job is open).

The first time, the skill isn't in the repo yet: tell the session to read the package's skills/f-setup/SKILL.md and follow it. It reads the repo for the gates, remotes and keys before asking you anything, never overwrites a file the repo already has, and never commits.

When

When a repo should start running the method, or a newer package should go over an existing install.

It's working if
  • It copies only what's missing and never overwrites a file the repo already has; only an upgrade replaces a file, and only one unchanged since the last install.
  • The repo profile is written from what the repo actually has, and you're asked only what it couldn't find, in one batch.
  • Every profile row is filled; a row nothing can answer yet says not recorded and why.
  • The names files exist, are git-ignored and never empty, and the names check proves itself on this machine.
  • The test adapter is proved on two fixtures: only the test failing at head alone is reported.
  • It never stages, commits or pushes: it ends with the list of files for your commit.
  • It ends with one line: F-SETUP: READY <profile path> or F-SETUP: HALTED <reason>.
Common questions
How do I run it the first time?
In the repo that will hold your records, start a session and say Read <path to the package>/skills/f-setup/SKILL.md and follow it. The install copies the skill too, so every later run is just /f-setup.
How do I update later?
Run /f-setup again. With a receipt in the repo it upgrades: files you didn't adapt are replaced, files you did are listed for a merge by hand. It refuses while a job is open or an end game is owed.
What does it ask me?
Only what the repo can't answer: typically the product name, ticket mode, board publish mode, the budgets and the builders' names. Each question offers the answer it found as the default.
What is the first question?
Whether the product is an AI agent built on LangChain, LangGraph or Deep Agents. A yes adds the Deep Agents add-on: /deep, a reference checked against the real deepagents code, and LangChain's docs server. A no skips it, and nothing else changes.
Does it touch my secrets?
It reads the names of keys in .env files, never their values, and never prints a value.
How do I remove Topping Out?
The receipt, foreman/INSTALL-RECEIPT.txt, lists every file the package installed. Delete those you haven't adapted, then the receipt. Your records stay yours.
