setup

A setup command for Manifest, a tool that manages software work from a written feature plan through release. It either discovers your repositories and creates its configuration or checks which connections and permissions are missing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing Manifest, adding repositories, or diagnosing incomplete setup.
Why use it?
It shows what is already connected, what is not, and what each missing connection would prevent.

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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/setup (alias: /manifest setup)

Configure or check your Manifest setup. Behaves differently based on whether you've set up yet:

  • No .manifest/repos.yml yet → runs the setup-init wizard: auto-detects your repos, frameworks, event SDKs, and test patterns, asks only what it can't detect, and writes a complete config. Zero placeholders to hand-edit.
  • .manifest/repos.yml exists → runs the setup-check verifier: reports which MCPs are connected, which scopes are granted, and what each gap would block.

Usage

/setup                # auto-routes: init if unconfigured, check if configured
/setup init           # force the detection wizard (re-run to add repos)
/setup check          # force the verifier
/manifest setup       # same as /setup

The init wizard (first run)

  1. Discovers your repos (from a code-index MCP, or asks you).
  2. Auto-detects per repo: framework, languages, event SDK, test framework, where API calls live, and (for backends) which route prefixes they own.
  3. Infers cross-repo API links (which frontend calls which backend).
  4. Asks ONLY the handful of things it can't detect — e.g., native-vs- Flutter convention, a missing backend repo, your Slack channel.
  5. Writes a complete .manifest/repos.yml and creates .manifest/contracts/.
  6. Verifies MCPs + scopes.
  7. Summarizes and points you at /contract new.

The check verifier (later runs)

Reports MCP connection status, scope gaps mapped to the commands they'd break, and project-config gaps. See the table it prints for what to connect next.

What it checks

MCPs (required, recommended, optional):

  • GitHub (required — code + PR access)
  • Sentry (required — errors + releases)
  • Slack (required — human gates + daily reports)
  • Firebase Analytics / Amplitude (recommended — launch metrics)
  • Atlassian / JIRA (recommended — pull contracts from tickets)
  • Figma (optional — design coverage)
  • DB / Cloud Logging (optional — server-side metric fallbacks)

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 iampawan/Manifest (5 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 863 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
