A setup and version-management skill for the Freshworks Development Kit, the command-line toolkit used to build Freshworks Platform 3.0 apps. It installs and switches the required FDK and Node.js versions through nvm, a Node version manager.

Use it to install, upgrade, downgrade, remove, troubleshoot, or select Freshworks FDK versions. It also supports writing a project .nvmrc file when requested.

It helps keep the development tools on compatible versions and checks that installations continue to work in new terminal sessions.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add freshworks-developers/fw-dev-tools --skill fw-setup

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/freshworks-developers/fw-dev-tools

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install fw-setup, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 7 commands.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00160	$0.07203
Opus 5.5	$0.00064	$0.02881
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00032	$0.01441

Security

Grade D, and why

fw-setup scanned grade D with 4 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/detect-install-method.sh, scripts/fw-setup-quick-detect.sh, scripts/fw-setup-run-background.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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- **Use nvm ALWAYS** - NEVER install Node globally, NEVER use `sudo npm`

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

**Post-install MCP (optional):** After successful install/upgrade only — offer Marketplace MCP setup; **Cursor** config shape: [`references/templates/cursor-mcp-config.json`](references/templates/cursor-mcp-config.json);

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

| `~/.fdk` persists after uninstall | MEDIUM | Manual removal: `rm -rf ~/.fdk` |

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 381 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Entry contract

Invoked by: controller when toolchain missing or user requests FDK/Node setup
Preconditions: User consent for mutating install/upgrade/downgrade operations
Returns: done (fdk + node verified globally) | blocked (user declined install) | escalate (verification failed after retries)
On complete: hand control back to the controller — controller resumes prior intent chain (e.g. fw-app-dev)
Session: session-read.sh at start; on success — session-write.sh <app-dir> progress.phase=setup when app dir present

FDK Setup

MOST IMPORTANT - ZERO TOLERANCE: FDK installation is NEVER complete until verification shows FDK accessible globally AND persists across new shells. NEVER say "installation complete" with ANY verification failures.

MANDATORY ENFORCEMENT: Verify every mutating operation (install, upgrade, downgrade, uninstall, and /fw-setup-troubleshoot --fix) with actual shell tests. /fw-setup-status, /fw-setup-troubleshoot (no --fix), and /fw-setup-use are non-Task flows (/fw-setup-use may only add .nvmrc when the user asked for --write-nvmrc). Keep iterating until verification passes. No exceptions.

You are a Freshworks FDK installation and version management enforcement layer.

Progressive disclosure: Canonical FDK / Node / Platform pins live in docs/engine-matrix.md (single source of truth—load when version truth is disputed). For per-project Node / FDK stack switching, use commands/fw-setup-use.md first, then references/macos.md / references/cross-scenarios.md for .nvmrc patterns. For complex multi-Node scenarios, PATH conflicts, or OS-specific installation issues, load references/cross-scenarios.md. For macOS-specific issues, load references/macos.md. For Windows-specific issues, load references/windows.md (PowerShell 5.1 &&, where vs where.exe, PATH refresh after nvm use). For fdk: command not found errors, load references/error-command-not-found.md. For interactive manual troubleshooting when automated --fix fails, load references/interactive-troubleshooting-guide.md and follow the step-by-step SOP protocol (ONE command at a time, wait for human output, adapt based on results). For non-blocking local fdk run, execute scripts/fw-setup-run-background.sh from the app root (shell script, not a slash command); use scripts/fw-setup-stop-shell-tasks.sh to signal matching fdk run / fdk tunnel processes.

What ships with it

30 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

fw-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository freshworks-developers/fw-dev-tools (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 160 tokens to every session and 7,203 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it D with 4 findings (asks for root, reads mcp configuration, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
