# SKILL: Setup (Plugin Initialization Workflow)
> **Purpose**: Initialize claude-pilot plugin for new projects with proper directory structure and configuration
> **Target**: User running `/pilot:setup` for first time in a project
---
## Quick Start
### When to Use This Skill
- First-time plugin setup in a new project
- Reset plugin directory structure
- Configure statusline for project
### Quick Reference
```bash
# Full workflow
/pilot:setup
# Steps: Directories → Statusline → Documentation → GitHub Star
```
## Execution Steps
Execute ALL steps in sequence. Do NOT pause between steps unless explicitly marked as user interaction.
### Step 1: Create Directories
**Purpose**: Initialize .pilot directory structure for plan management
```bash
mkdir -p .pilot/plan/{draft,pending,in_progress,done}
mkdir -p .pilot/state
echo "✓ .pilot directories created"
```
**Verification**:
```bash
test -d .pilot/plan/draft && echo "draft: ✓" || echo "draft: ✗"
test -d .pilot/plan/pending && echo "pending: ✓" || echo "pending: ✗"
test -d .pilot/plan/in_progress && echo "in_progress: ✓" || echo "in_progress: ✗"
test -d .pilot/plan/done && echo "done: ✓" || echo "done: ✗"
test -d .pilot/state && echo "state: ✓" || echo "state: ✗"
```
### Step 2: Configure Statusline
**Purpose**: Copy statusline script from plugin and configure settings.json
```bash
# Detect plugin installation path
PLUGIN_PATH=$(jq -r '.plugins["claude-pilot@claude-pilot"][0].installPath // empty' ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json 2>/dev/null || true)
SOURCE=""
# Always prefer plugin version to ensure latest
# Note: In distributed plugin, scripts are at $PLUGIN_PATH/scripts/ (no .claude prefix)
[[ -n "$PLUGIN_PATH" && -f "$PLUGIN_PATH/scripts/statusline.sh" ]] && SOURCE="$PLUGIN_PATH/scripts/statusline.sh"
if [[ -n "$SOURCE" ]]; then
# Copy statusline script
mkdir -p .claude/scripts
cp "$SOURCE" .claude/scripts/statusline.sh
chmod +x .claude/scripts/statusline.sh
# Configure settings.json
SETTINGS=".claude/settings.json"
STATUSLINE='{"type":"command","command":"\"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR\"/.claude/scripts/statusline.sh"}'
if [[ -f "$SETTINGS" ]]; then
# Update existing settings
jq --argjson sl "$STATUSLINE" '. + {statusLine: $sl}' "$SETTINGS" > /tmp/settings.json && mv /tmp/settings.json "$SETTINGS"
else
# Create new settings
echo "{\"statusLine\": $STATUSLINE}" > "$SETTINGS"
fi
# Show version
PLUGIN_VERSION=$(jq -r '.version' "$PLUGIN_PATH/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" 2>/dev/null || echo 'unknown')
echo "✓ Statusline configured (from plugin v$PLUGIN_VERSION)"
else
echo "⚠ Statusline script not found in plugin, skipping"
fi
```
**Verification**:
```bash
test -f .claude/scripts/statusline.sh && echo "statusline.sh: ✓" || echo "statusline.sh: ✗"
test -f .claude/settings.json && echo "settings.json: ✓" || echo "settings.json: ✗"
```
### Step 3: MCP Servers (Informational)
**Purpose**: Inform user about recommended MCP servers
**Display to user**:
```
📦 Recommended MCP Servers:
- context7: Latest library documentation (@upstash/context7-mcp)
- sequential-thinking: Step-by-step reasoning (@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking)
Configuration: Add to ~/.claude.json under projects.<project-path>.mcpServers
```
**No action required** - informational only.
### Step 4: Initial Documentation (Optional)
**Purpose**: Ask user if they want to generate initial documentation
**User Interaction** (use AskUserQuestion):
- Question: "Generate initial documentation (3-tier docs sync)?"
- Options: "Yes, generate docs" / "No, skip"
**If yes**:
```bash
echo "📚 Running documentation sync..."
echo "Invoke the three-tier-docs skill to generate initial documentation."
```
**If no**:
```bash
echo "⏭️ Skipping documentation sync"
```
### Step 5: GitHub Star Request (Optional)
**Purpose**: Ask user if they want to star the repository
**User Interaction** (use AskUserQuestion):
- Question: "Star the claude-pilot repository on GitHub?"
- Options: "Yes, star the repo" / "No thanks"
**If yes**:
```bash
# Check if gh CLI is available
if command -v gh &> /dev/null; then
if gh api -X PUT /user/starred/changoo89/claude-pilot 2>&1; then
echo "⭐ Thank you for starring claude-pilot!"
else
echo "⚠️ Could not star via gh CLI"
echo " Manual link: https://github.com/changoo89/claude-pilot"
fi
else
echo "⚠️ gh CLI not found"
echo " Star manually: https://github.com/changoo89/claude-pilot"
fi
```
**If no**:
```bash
echo "👋 Thanks for using claude-pilot!"
```
### Step 6: Complete
**Purpose**: Show completion message and next steps
```bash
echo ""
echo "✓ claude-pilot setup complete"
echo " Run /00_plan to start planning"
```
## What This Skill Covers
### In Scope
- Directory creation (.pilot structure)
- Statusline configuration (copy from plugin)
- MCP server recommendations
- Optional documentation generation
- Optional GitHub star request
### Out of Scope
- MCP server installation → User responsibility
- Plugin installation → Already completed before setup
- Documentation generation logic → @.claude/skills/three-tier-docs/SKILL.md
