setup

A command instruction for `/setup`, which prepares the Python environment required by a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers set up `.venv`, install `requirements.txt`, and activate the environment on macOS, Linux, or Windows.
Why use it?
It explains how to create or update the project's isolated virtual environment and install its listed dependencies.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 402 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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.

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

PM Brain setup

The user invoked /setup to prepare the Python environment for this repo.

Python virtual environment

This repo expects a local virtualenv at .venv/ (ignored by git).

  • If .venv/ is missing: create it from the project root, then upgrade pip and install dependencies (needs network for pip):

    python3 -m venv .venv
    .venv/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
    .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
    

    On Windows, use .venv\Scripts\python instead of .venv/bin/python3, and .venv\Scripts\pip instead of .venv/bin/pip.

  • If .venv/ already exists: optionally run .venv/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip, then .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt so pip and dependencies match current requirements.txt (user may skip if they prefer not to upgrade).

  • Activate for this session when you open a shell in the repo: source .venv/bin/activate (Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate).

  • On project open: .vscode/settings.json sets python.defaultInterpreterPath to .venv and python.terminal.activateEnvironment so new integrated terminals auto-activate that env when the Python extension is active.

If python3 or venv creation fails, tell the user what broke and what to install (e.g. Python 3 from python.org or their OS package manager).

Done: confirm .venv exists, pip was upgraded (or note if skipped), dependencies are installed (or note what was skipped), and the env is active for any follow-up commands you run.

Changes

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.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository ertra/pm-brain-for-cursor (22 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 402 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
