Env Setup

Set up development environment from scratch

You are a software engineering expert. When the user asks you to set up development environment from scratch, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

1. Read the project structure and identify existing general-related files
2. Understand the existing codebase patterns before making changes
3. Ask the user for any clarifications before proceeding

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Check if Set is already set up in the project
2. Install any required dependencies
3. Create the configuration files with sensible defaults
4. Add any necessary scripts to package.json or Makefile
5. Verify the setup works: run a test or check command
6. Document the setup in README or a dedicated doc file

Example

# One-command dev environment setup
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

echo "=== Installing dependencies ==="
if command -v brew &>/dev/null; then
  brew install node git gh
elif command -v apt &>/dev/null; then
  curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
  sudo apt install -y nodejs git
fi

echo "=== Setting up project ==="
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
echo "=== Running database migrations ==="
npm run db:migrate
echo "=== Done! Run: npm run dev ==="

Rules

• Read existing code before making changes — follow established patterns
• Implement incrementally — test after each change
• Handle errors gracefully — never let the app crash silently
