/setup

Auto-generate project workflow config from existing PRD and CLAUDE.md. Zero interactive questions — all answers extracted from project data that already exists after /scaffold.

When to use

After /scaffold creates a project, before /plan. Creates docs/workflow.md so /plan and /build can work.

MCP Tools (use if available)

  • project_info(name) — get project details, detected stack
  • kb_search(query) — search for dev principles, manifest, stack templates
  • codegraph_query(query) — check project dependencies in code graph

If MCP tools are not available, fall back to reading local files only.

Steps

  1. Detect project root:

    • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, look for a project with that name in the current directory or projects_dir from ~/.solo-factory/defaults.yaml.
    • Otherwise use current working directory.
    • Verify the directory exists and has CLAUDE.md.
    • If not found, ask via AskUserQuestion.
  2. Check if already initialized:

    • If docs/workflow.md exists, warn and ask whether to regenerate.
  3. Read project data (parallel — all reads at once):

    • CLAUDE.md — tech stack, architecture, commands, Do/Don't
    • docs/prd.md — problem, users, solution, features, metrics, pricing
    • package.json or pyproject.toml — exact dependency versions
    • Makefile — available commands
    • Linter configs (.eslintrc*, eslint.config.*, .swiftlint.yml, ruff.toml, detekt.yml)
  4. Read ecosystem sources (optional — enhances quality):

    • Detect stack name from CLAUDE.md (look for "Stack:" or the stack name in tech section).
    • If MCP kb_search available: search for stack template and dev-principles.
    • Otherwise: look for stacks/<stack>.yaml and dev-principles.md in .solo/ or plugin templates directory (if accessible).
    • If neither available: derive all info from CLAUDE.md + package manifest (sufficient).
  5. Detect languages from package manifest:

    • package.json → TypeScript
    • pyproject.toml → Python
    • *.xcodeproj or Package.swift → Swift
    • build.gradle.kts → Kotlin
  6. Create docs directory if needed:

    mkdir -p docs
  7. Generate docs/workflow.md: Based on dev-principles (from MCP/KB or built-in defaults):

    # Workflow — {ProjectName} ## TDD Policy **Moderate** — Tests encouraged but not blocking. Write tests for: - Business logic and validation - API route handlers - Complex algorithms Tests optional for: UI components, one-off scripts, prototypes. ## Test Framework {from package manifest devDeps: vitest/jest/pytest/xctest} ## Commit Strategy **Conventional Commits** Format: `<type>(<scope>): <description>` Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style ## Verification Checkpoints **After each phase completion:** 1. Run tests — all pass 2. Run linter — no errors 3. Run build — successful (if applicable) 4. Manual smoke test ## Branch Strategy - `main` — production-ready - `feat/<track-id>` — feature branches - `fix/<description>` — hotfixes
  8. Update CLAUDE.md — add workflow reference to Key Documents section if not present.

  9. Show summary and suggest next step:

    Setup complete for {ProjectName}! Created: docs/workflow.md — TDD moderate, conventional commits Next: /plan "Your first feature"

Common Issues

CLAUDE.md not found

Cause: Project not scaffolded or running from wrong directory. Fix: Run /scaffold first, or ensure you're in the project root with CLAUDE.md.

workflow.md already exists

Cause: Previously set up. Fix: Skill warns and asks whether to regenerate. Existing file is preserved unless you confirm overwrite.

Wrong test framework detected

Cause: Multiple test frameworks in devDependencies. Fix: Skill picks the first found. Edit docs/workflow.md manually to specify the correct framework.

# /setup

Auto-generate project workflow config from existing PRD and CLAUDE.md. Zero interactive questions — all answers extracted from project data that already exists after `/scaffold`.

## When to use

After `/scaffold` creates a project, before `/plan`. Creates `docs/workflow.md` so `/plan` and `/build` can work.

## MCP Tools (use if available)

- `project_info(name)` — get project details, detected stack
- `kb_search(query)` — search for dev principles, manifest, stack templates
- `codegraph_query(query)` — check project dependencies in code graph

If MCP tools are not available, fall back to reading local files only.

## Steps

1. **Detect project root:**
   - If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, look for a project with that name in the current directory or `projects_dir` from `~/.solo-factory/defaults.yaml`.
   - Otherwise use current working directory.
   - Verify the directory exists and has `CLAUDE.md`.
   - If not found, ask via AskUserQuestion.

2. **Check if already initialized:**
   - If `docs/workflow.md` exists, warn and ask whether to regenerate.

3. **Read project data** (parallel — all reads at once):
   - `CLAUDE.md` — tech stack, architecture, commands, Do/Don't
   - `docs/prd.md` — problem, users, solution, features, metrics, pricing
   - `package.json` or `pyproject.toml` — exact dependency versions
   - `Makefile` — available commands
   - Linter configs (`.eslintrc*`, `eslint.config.*`, `.swiftlint.yml`, `ruff.toml`, `detekt.yml`)

4. **Read ecosystem sources** (optional — enhances quality):
   - Detect stack name from CLAUDE.md (look for "Stack:" or the stack name in tech section).
   - If MCP `kb_search` available: search for stack template and dev-principles.
   - Otherwise: look for `stacks/<stack>.yaml` and `dev-principles.md` in `.solo/` or plugin templates directory (if accessible).
   - If neither available: derive all info from CLAUDE.md + package manifest (sufficient).

5. **Detect languages** from package manifest:
   - `package.json` → TypeScript
   - `pyproject.toml` → Python
   - `*.xcodeproj` or `Package.swift` → Swift
   - `build.gradle.kts` → Kotlin

6. **Create docs directory if needed:**
   ```bash
   mkdir -p docs
   ```

7. **Generate `docs/workflow.md`:**
   Based on dev-principles (from MCP/KB or built-in defaults):
   ```markdown
   # Workflow — {ProjectName}

   ## TDD Policy
   **Moderate** — Tests encouraged but not blocking. Write tests for:
   - Business logic and validation
   - API route handlers
   - Complex algorithms
   Tests optional for: UI components, one-off scripts, prototypes.

   ## Test Framework
   {from package manifest devDeps: vitest/jest/pytest/xctest}

   ## Commit Strategy
   **Conventional Commits**
   Format: `<type>(<scope>): <description>`
   Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs, chore, perf, style

   ## Verification Checkpoints
   **After each phase completion:**
   1. Run tests — all pass
   2. Run linter — no errors
   3. Run build — successful (if applicable)
   4. Manual smoke test

   ## Branch Strategy
   - `main` — production-ready
   - `feat/<track-id>` — feature branches
   - `fix/<description>` — hotfixes
   ```

8. **Update `CLAUDE.md`** — add workflow reference to Key Documents section if not present.

9. **Show summary and suggest next step:**
   ```
   Setup complete for {ProjectName}!

   Created:
     docs/workflow.md — TDD moderate, conventional commits

   Next: /plan "Your first feature"
   ```
