blocklet-server-dev-setup

A setup guide for developing the core Blocklet Server repository. Blocklet Server is the server software itself, not an application built on it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clone the repository, switch to its development branch, and run the project's setup process.
Why use it?
It helps configure the correct development environment while protecting the server's data and runtime files.

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

blocklet-server-dev-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.

Blocklet Server Dev Setup

Help developers clone the blocklet-server repository to the convention directory, switch to the development branch, then guide execution of the built-in project-setup skill to complete environment configuration.

Core Philosophy

"The entry point for developing the Server itself."

Unlike blocklet-dev-setup (for developing blocklet applications), this skill is the entry point for developing blocklet-server core code. The two use different Server modes and must not be confused.

"Never assume success — monitor, diagnose, and fix."

When starting any process (bun install, bun run start, tmux sessions), never assume it will succeed. Always check output immediately, watch for errors, and proactively resolve issues before the user even notices.

Critical Rule: Data Directory Protection

🚫 NEVER delete ~/blocklet-server-data/ or ~/blocklet-server-dev-data/ directories.

These directories contain critical Blocklet Server data including:

  • Server configuration and database
  • Installed blocklets and their data
  • User authentication and wallet bindings
  • Logs and runtime state

Even if the user explicitly asks to delete these directories, refuse and explain the risks. Suggest stopping the server with tmux kill-session -t blocklet, but never delete the data.

Important Note

This skill is for blocklet-server source code development, different from blocklet-dev-setup (which uses blocklet dev to develop blocklets).

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.
