descriptionUse when setting up a project, adding linting, formatting, git hooks, or type checking. Detects the language and installs that ecosystem's lint/format/hooks toolchain (JS/TS, Python, Go, Rust).

compatibilityAny language project; sets up that ecosystem's lint/format/hooks + a git secret scanner (GitLeaks default; TruffleHog accepted) (JS/TS best-supported, Python, Go and Rust via references/)

You are a tooling setup assistant. Detect the project's language, then auto-detect what's missing and install everything that's not already configured for that ecosystem.

0. Detect Language and Route

Detect the project's language from its manifest, then follow the matching setup guide:

Language Detected by Setup guide
JS/TS package.json the rules/*.md files below (Biome · Husky · commitlint · lint-staged · GitLeaks · TypeScript)
Python pyproject.toml, requirements*.txt, setup.py, setup.cfg references/python.md (Ruff · mypy · pre-commit · GitLeaks)
Go go.mod references/go.md (gofmt · golangci-lint · pre-commit · GitLeaks)
Rust Cargo.toml references/rust.md (rustfmt · Clippy · pre-commit · GitLeaks)

Load only the guide for the detected language. For a language not listed (e.g. Ruby), set up its standard formatter/linter and wire the project's secret scanner into a pre-commit hook, following the same shape; note that first-class support for it is not yet bundled. A secret scanner (GitLeaks default; TruffleHog accepted) is set up in every ecosystem — it is cross-language.

The rest of this file (Steps 1-5) is the JS/TS path. For Python, Go or Rust, follow the referenced guide, then jump to Step 5 (Supply Chain Hardening) which applies to any ecosystem.

1. Detect Package Manager

Detect the package manager from the lockfile, in this order: nub.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, bun.lock/bun.lockb, yarn.lock, package-lock.json. With no lockfile, ask.

A packageManager or devEngines.packageManager field in package.json outranks any lockfile. Nub runs in compat-mode over another manager's lockfile, so nub.lock alongside pnpm-lock.yaml means nub — check the field before concluding from lockfiles alone.

Rule files use two placeholders. Replace <pm> with the detected manager and <pmx> with that manager's ephemeral package runner:

Detected PM <pm> <pmx>
nub nub nubx
pnpm pnpm pnx
bun bun bunx
npm npm npx
yarn (v2+) yarn yarn dlx
yarn (v1) yarn npx

Detect yarn version: .yarnrc.yml present → v2+; only .yarnrc or neither → v1.

Never write one manager's runner into another manager's project — a pnx line in a bun project's git hook fails at commit time, and it bypasses the store integrity and registry config that the project's real manager enforces.

2. Detect Existing Tooling

Before installing anything, scan for existing configurations:

  • biome.json / biome.jsonc → Biome already configured
  • .husky/ directory → Husky already configured
  • commitlint config listed in rules/commitlint.md → commitlint already configured
  • .lintstagedrc* / lint-staged key in package.json → lint-staged already configured
  • gitleaks or trufflehog in .husky/pre-commit → secret scanner already configured
  • tsconfig.json → TypeScript already configured
  • .eslintrc* / eslint.config.* → ESLint present (suggest migration to Biome)
  • .prettierrc* / prettier.config.* → Prettier present (suggest migration to Biome)

Skip tools that are already configured. Report what was skipped at the end.

3. Install Tools

Read each rule file for detailed setup instructions and config files.

This stack is opinionated by design. Tooling choices are subjective — Biome vs ESLint/Prettier, conventional commits vs none, Husky vs another hook manager are all legitimate positions. Each rule file documents its choice under ### Why This Matters and names the mainstream alternative under ### Alternatives. Two principles: you may decline any tool, and a deliberately-configured alternative is kept, not swapped — Step 2's detection exists so the skill fills genuine gaps rather than overriding working setups. Secret scanning is the one thing recommended for every project (GitLeaks default; TruffleHog accepted); only the scanner is swappable, not whether to scan.

Auto-install (always set up when missing)

Tool Purpose Rule
Biome Linting + formatting rules/biome.md
Husky Git hooks rules/husky.md
commitlint Conventional commits rules/commitlint.md
lint-staged Pre-commit linting rules/lint-staged.md
Secret scanner Secrets detection rules/secret-scanner.md
TypeScript Type checking rules/typescript.md

Opt-in (only when explicitly requested)

Tool Purpose Rule
semantic-release Automated versioning rules/semantic-release.md

4. Output Summary

After all tools are installed, display a summary:

## Setup Complete

### Installed
- [list of tools installed]

### Skipped (already configured)
- [list of tools skipped with reason]

### Next Steps
- Run `<pm> run check` to verify Biome is working
- Make a test commit to verify git hooks

5. Supply Chain Hardening

After tooling setup is complete, check if the deps skill is available by looking for skills/deps/SKILL.md relative to this skill's directory. If it exists, run /deps to harden the ecosystem's dependency supply chain (it detects the language too). If it does not exist, skip this step silently.

Requires git initialised in the project, and a secret scanner installed on the system (brew install gitleaks or equivalent) — it is wired into the pre-commit hook in every ecosystem.
