# Superset Project Setup
Goal: every new workspace (isolated git worktree) for this repo comes up ready, with dependencies installed, env present, and services reachable, without manual steps.
## 1. Inspect the repo
Work out what a fresh worktree needs, and ask about anything ambiguous:
- Package manager and install command (lockfiles decide: bun/pnpm/yarn/npm, cargo, uv, ...)
- Env files: `.env` is usually gitignored, so new worktrees need it copied from the main checkout or generated from `.env.example`
- Services (docker-compose, databases) and dev command + ports
- Monorepo layout (does setup need a `cwd`?)
## 2. Author `.superset/config.json`
This file is what wires lifecycle scripts in; a bare `setup.sh` without `config.json` is not picked up. Schema:
```json
{
"setup": ["./.superset/setup.sh"],
"teardown": ["./.superset/teardown.sh"],
"run": ["bun dev"],
"cwd": "optional/subdir"
}
```
Each key is an array of shell commands run inside the worktree on workspace create / delete / run. Guidelines:
- Setup must be idempotent and fast (aim for under a minute; slow steps make every workspace creation painful)
- Copy secrets/env from the main checkout at setup time, never commit them
- `.superset/config.local.json` (gitignored) lets an individual user extend scripts with `before`/`after` arrays without touching the shared config
Show the user the proposed files and get explicit approval before writing.
## 3. Verify for real
Create a throwaway workspace with `superset workspaces create --local --project <id> --name "setup-test"` and watch the "Workspace Setup" terminal output. Fix and repeat until it completes cleanly, then delete the test workspace. Setup is not done until a real workspace boots green.
