Auto Setup

Detect project type and configure pro-workflow quality gates automatically.

Trigger

Use when:

• Starting work on a new project
• Onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase
• Setting up CI integration

Detection

Step 1: Identify Project Type

ls package.json pyproject.toml Cargo.toml go.mod Gemfile pom.xml build.gradle 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Configure Quality Gates

Node.js/TypeScript:

{
  "lint": "npm run lint",
  "typecheck": "npx tsc --noEmit",
  "test": "npm test -- --changed --passWithNoTests",
  "format": "npx prettier --check ."
}

Python:

{
  "lint": "ruff check .",
  "typecheck": "mypy .",
  "test": "pytest --tb=short -q",
  "format": "ruff format --check ."
}

Rust:

{
  "lint": "cargo clippy -- -D warnings",
  "typecheck": "cargo check",
  "test": "cargo test --quiet",
  "format": "cargo fmt --check"
}

Go:

{
  "lint": "golangci-lint run",
  "typecheck": "go vet ./...",
  "test": "go test ./... -count=1",
  "format": "gofmt -l ."
}

Step 3: Verify Tools Are Installed

Run each command with --version or --help to confirm availability. Report missing tools.

Step 4: Create Configuration

Generate a .claude/settings.json with:

• Quality gate commands for the detected project type
• Suggested permission rules (user reviews and approves)
• Hook configuration for the project

Output

AUTO SETUP
  Project type: [Node.js/Python/Rust/Go/Mixed]
  Package manager: [npm/pnpm/yarn/pip/cargo]

  Quality gates configured:
    lint:      [command] ✓
    typecheck: [command] ✓
    test:      [command] ✓
    format:    [command] ✓

  Missing tools:
    - [tool] — install with: [command]

  Settings written to: .claude/settings.json

Rules

• Never overwrite existing settings without asking
• Detect, don't assume — check for tool presence
• Support monorepos (check for workspaces config)
• Report missing tools with install commands
