dev-environment-setup

dev-environment-setup is a skill for Claude Code from desirecore/market. It costs 202 tokens per session (2,714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for diagnosing and setting up development environments, including containers, Windows Subsystem for Linux, office-document dependencies, and system tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Docker or Podman is unavailable, WSL2 needs configuration, document-processing tools need installation, or a broader system diagnosis is needed.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a setup problem comes from Docker or Podman, Windows, Python, Node.js, or missing tools before choosing a fix.

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

dev-environment-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 25d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/probe.ps1, scripts/probe.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

L0: One-line Summary

When to use: The user needs to

  • Install / troubleshoot Docker or Podman containers ("docker not found", daemon startup, registry mirror, etc.)
  • Configure WSL2 (Linux Subsystem) on Windows
  • One-shot install of office skill dependencies (Python packages + npm packages + system tools required by DOCX / PDF / XLSX / PPTX)
  • Install system tools: LibreOffice / Poppler / Pandoc / Tesseract / qpdf / ImageMagick / Ghostscript / Git
  • Uncertain whether the issue belongs to Python or Node.js, and a comprehensive diagnosis is needed first

When not to use: Use python-runtime for pure Python issues, and nodejs-runtime for pure Node.js issues.

How to do it: First run scripts/probe.sh (use probe.ps1 on Windows) to obtain a system snapshot JSON, and route to the corresponding references or sub-skill based on the result; this skill is also the source of truth for DesireCore's built-in Hatch / Volta / HTTP API / Socket.IO integration (references/desirecore-runtime.md).

L1: Routing Rules

Route directly to the corresponding skill or document by the keywords in the user's question:

Keyword / Scenario Path
python / pip / venv / pyenv / hatch / virtualenv / PEP 668 python-runtime skill
node / npm / pnpm / yarn / volta / nvm / fnm / EACCES nodejs-runtime skill
docker / podman / container / container daemon references/container.md
WSL / WSL2 / Windows Linux Subsystem references/wsl.md
DOCX / PDF / XLSX / PPTX dependencies / office skill dependencies references/office-deps.md
LibreOffice / poppler / pandoc / tesseract / qpdf references/system-tools.md
Unsure of category, want a quick diagnosis First run scripts/probe.sh and inspect the JSON
DesireCore Hatch / Volta / HTTP API / Socket.IO references/desirecore-runtime.md
User edited .zshrc / an env var / proxy / setx, but tools can't see it POST /api/runtime/environment/refresh reloads the login environment (see references/desirecore-runtime.md §7, no app restart needed)

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.
