set-up-installers

set-up-installers is a skill for Claude Code from cboone/agent-harness-plugins. It costs 138 tokens per session (7,704 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A release setup tool for Go, Swift, Rust, and Zig projects. It prepares ways for users to install the software, such as Homebrew or language-specific install commands, and updates the related documentation and release setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when publishing a command-line tool or library through Homebrew, Go, Rust, or release workflows.
Why use it?
It removes the repetitive work of wiring distribution methods to a project's language and structure. This makes installation instructions and packaging setup match the repository.

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 B, and why

set-up-installers scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 737 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set-Up Installers

Set up installer and distribution methods for a project. Supports Go, Swift, Rust, and Zig projects.

Installer types:

  • Homebrew: a Homebrew tap formula for brew install
  • go install: compatibility and README instructions for go install (Go only)
  • cargo install: compatibility and README instructions for cargo install (Rust only)

Workflow

1. Detect Project Type

Scan the project to determine its language and structure:

Marker Language Notes
go.mod Go Also check for .goreleaser.yml/.goreleaser.yaml
Package.swift Swift Check for macOS-only constraints
Cargo.toml Rust Check for binary targets
build.zig Zig Check for executable targets

Additional checks regardless of language:

  • Check for a Makefile
  • Run gh repo view --json owner,name,description to get GitHub repo info

Go sub-detection: If .goreleaser.yml or .goreleaser.yaml exists, note that GoReleaser is already configured (this affects Homebrew and release workflow steps).

Swift platform detection: Check for macOS-only constraints:

  1. Grep source files for AppKit, Cocoa, or macOS-specific framework imports
  2. Look for conditional compilation or macOS-only availability checks (for example #if os(macOS), canImport(AppKit))
  3. If inconclusive, ask the user whether the project is macOS-only or cross-platform

Rust binary detection: Check Cargo.toml for [[bin]] sections, a src/main.rs file, or binaries under src/bin/ (for example, src/bin/*.rs) to confirm this is a binary crate (not a library).

Zig binary detection: Check build.zig for b.addExecutable(.{ .name = "..." }) calls or a src/main.zig file to confirm this is an executable project (not a library).

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.
