Setup

/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

• 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.
• Check if already initialized:
• If docs/workflow.md exists, warn and ask whether to regenerate.
• 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)
• 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).
• Detect languages from package manifest:
• package.json → TypeScript
• pyproject.toml → Python
• *.xcodeproj or Package.swift → Swift
• build.gradle.kts → Kotlin
• Create docs directory if needed:
• mkdir -p docs
• 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
• Update CLAUDE.md — add workflow reference to Key Documents section if not present.
• Show summary and suggest next step:
• Setup complete for {ProjectName}!
• Created:
• docs/workflow.md — TDD moderate, conventional commits
• Next: /plan "Your first feature"

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.
