System Environment Setup

This is the skill you want when a repo won't run the same way on two different machines. It handles runtime version pinning, Docker Compose topologies, devcontainer setup, bootstrap scripts, and onboarding flows. The routing is clear: use this for broad environment reproducibility, hand off .env file structure and validation to the narrower environment-setup skill, and stay out of CI/CD territory. The intake structure forces you to classify whether you're solving toolchain drift, local service parity, or setup rot before picking a mode. It explicitly calls out local-prod gaps instead of pretending containers make everything identical, which is refreshingly honest.

System & Environment Setup

Use this skill as the repository's canonical broader environment-setup anchor.

The job is to make a project runnable and repeatable across developer machines and environments. That usually includes some mix of:

  • runtime/tool version pinning,
  • local services and containers,
  • bootstrapping scripts,
  • onboarding steps,
  • local-prod parity tradeoffs,
  • secrets/config handoff boundaries,
  • setup diagnosis when automation drifts.

Read references/operating-modes.md and references/scope-boundaries.md before unusual cases or when deciding whether the task belongs here or in environment-setup.

If the user mainly needs:

  • .env structure, env precedence, validation, or framework-specific app config → route to environment-setup
  • CI/CD pipelines and hosted deployment automation → route to deployment-automation or vercel-deploy
  • security policy and secret-store architecture → pair with security-best-practices
  • project slicing / onboarding checklist ownership → pair with task-planning
