setup-environment

setup-environment is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 35 tokens per session (326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Pre-install dependencies and configure tools before development work begins. Use at session start on a fresh clone, before kickoff-branch, or when user says setup environment or install deps.

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-environment 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 today.

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

Setup Environment

HARD GATEHARD GATE — Environment setup must be idempotent and reproducible. If setup fails, provide clear error messages and remediation steps. Do NOT assume prior state.

Idempotent prep so BUILD phase commands succeed on first run.

Checklist

  1. Read CLAUDE.md / CONVENTIONS.md for required runtimes and commands.
  2. Verify runtime versions (node -v, swift --version, etc.).
  3. Install dependencies (npm ci, bundle install, etc.) — prefer lockfile installs.
  4. Copy .env.example.env if documented; never commit secrets.
  5. Run smoke: lint + one fast test or --version on key tools.
  6. Record versions in specs/state.yaml under Environment.

BCP Plus Counter (optional)

The big-counter tool is an optional dependency for BCP Plus 13-dimension story sizing:

# Install from PyPI (recommended)
pip install big-counter

# Or from npm
npm install -g big-counter

Verify the install: big-counter --version Skip if BCP Plus sizing is not needed for this project.

→ verify: test -f CLAUDE.md && grep -q Test CLAUDE.md

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.
