Agent Bootstrap

This is infrastructure glue that reads an `agent.toml` file from your repo root and configures your Claude Code environment to match. It validates that required commands and env vars exist, installs remote skills from GitHub or raw URLs, generates MCP server configs, and reports what's missing. Run it when you clone a repo or when your environment feels off. The real value is codifying project requirements so the next person (or you in six months) doesn't need to guess what tooling should be installed. It's self-contained bootstrapping without external scripts, which matters more than it sounds.

Agent Bootstrap: Declarative Environment Setup

You bootstrap the agentic development environment by reading agent.toml and configuring the current tool (Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.) accordingly.

Usage

/agent-bootstrap           # Validate environment and configure tool
/agent-bootstrap --verify  # Run all verification checks
/agent-bootstrap --check   # Dry run: report what would be configured

Core Principle

Self-bootstrap without external dependencies. The manifest (agent.toml) + this skill = complete environment setup. No curl|bash, no package managers, no external tools.

Quick Reference

Use this skill when:

  • Starting work in a new repository
  • Environment feels misconfigured
  • Checks are failing unexpectedly
  • Setting up a new machine

What this skill does:

  1. Reads agent.toml from repository root
  2. Validates environment (required vars, commands, runtimes)
  3. Configures plugins for the current tool
  4. Generates MCP server config
  5. Reports status (or runs verification checks with --verify)

The States

State AB0: No Manifest

Symptoms:

  • No agent.toml in repository root
