What is diagnose-and-setup?

A repository check that assesses how well a project is prepared for AI coding assistants and creates a prioritized plan for improving it. It checks instruction, architecture, context, and tool-configuration files.

Use it to inspect existing AI setup files and decide which setup agents should run next.

It shows what guidance is missing or outdated, so coding assistants can work with a clearer understanding of the project.

diagnose-and-setup — Agent for Claude Code by shuchitajain

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/shuchitajain/awesome-ai-setup

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00028	$0.02782
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.01391
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00556
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00278

Security

Grade A, and why

diagnose-and-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Diagnose AI Setup

You are diagnosing the current AI development setup for this repository and producing a short, prioritized action plan.

The output is a numbered list of agents to run - specific to what's missing in this project, in the right order. Nothing more.

Step 1 - Check for Existing AI Setup Files

Check whether each of these files exists. Read the ones that do.

Global instruction files (read if present):

CLAUDE.md (root) — Claude Code
.github/copilot-instructions.md — GitHub Copilot
.cursor/rules/global.mdc — Cursor (current path)
.cursorrules — Cursor (legacy path — if found but global.mdc is absent, note as stale)

Architecture and context files (read if present):

ARCHITECTURE.md (root)
CONTEXT.md (root)
MEMORY.md (root)

Scoped instruction files:

.github/instructions/ - list any .instructions.md files present (GitHub Copilot)
.claude/rules/ - list any .md files present (Claude Code)
.cursor/rules/ - list any .mdc files present (Cursor)

Tooling — MCP config:

Check project-level first, then user-level as fallback:

Tool	Project-level path	User-level path
GitHub Copilot	`.vscode/mcp.json`	`~/.config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json` (JetBrains/Android Studio)
Claude Code	`.mcp.json` (root)	`~/.claude.json` (contains `mcpServers` key)
Cursor	`.cursor/mcp.json`	`~/.cursor/mcp.json`

For each tool detected as in use, report MCP status as one of:

Project-level — [path] present ✓
User-level only — no project config found, but [user path] exists (servers apply globally, not project-specifically — flag as a gap)
Missing — no config at either level ✗

Agentic:

AGENTS.md - note if present
workflows/ - list any workflow files present

README:

Read README.md if present. Assess whether it contains real, project-specific content or is auto-generated / template boilerplate (e.g. scaffolded by a CLI tool, contains only installation placeholders, generic "Getting Started" sections with no project-specific detail, or identical to a framework's default README).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

diagnose-and-setup is an agent published in the GitHub repository shuchitajain/awesome-ai-setup (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,782 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
