env-provisioning

env-provisioning is a skill for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for starting a reproducible development environment and its supporting services so an application can be tested or run on its own.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect the project's setup method, start services, verify that they work, and record the environment used for QA.
Why use it?
It reduces setup mistakes and makes repeated starts, health checks, and cleanup predictable.

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

env-provisioning scanned grade A 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 5d 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Environment Provisioning

Stand up the app (and its backing services) so QA — or the user — can run against a real, reproducible environment. Honors the project's own setup guidelines when they exist; generates the minimum when they don't. Speed is a design goal: the second boot on a branch should take seconds, not minutes.

Announce at start: "I'm using the env-provisioning skill because this task needs the app running."

Deep Docker knowledge (multi-stage builds, hardening, compose patterns) lives in orc:docker-best-practices — reference it, never duplicate it. This skill owns the protocol: detect → provision → prove → record.

Detection ladder

Evaluate top-down in the worktree (the code under test), first hit wins. Setup guidelines (README/CONTRIBUTING "Setup"/"Getting started" sections, Makefile, .env.example) are consulted at EVERY rung — they supply env values, seed/migrate steps, ports, and the service list; they never override a higher rung's boot mechanism. Details + inference tables: references/detection.md.

  1. Existing composecompose.yaml|compose.yml|docker-compose.yml|docker-compose.yaml (+ overrides, dev profiles). This IS the project's runnable setup guideline. Use as-is; NEVER edit it — meet extra port/env needs with an orc-owned override file in .orc/<branch>/files/docker/.
  2. Devcontainer.devcontainer/devcontainer.json (or root variant). If it names dockerComposeFile → resolve to rung 1 with that file. Else wrap its image/Dockerfile in a generated compose honoring forwardPorts, containerEnv, postCreateCommand (as a one-shot).
  3. DockerfileDockerfile / Dockerfile.dev. Generate a compose: app builds from it (prefer a dev/development stage when multi-stage), plus inferred backing services.
  4. Nothing — generate from analysis (references/generation.md). Default is hybrid: containers for backing services only (inferred from .env.example/config — DATABASE_URL→postgres, REDIS_URL→redis, …), app on the host via its dev script wired to them. Fastest and least invented; macOS bind-mount I/O makes containerized node dev servers slower. --containerize-app forces a full app container.

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.

env-provisioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository HigorAlves/orc (6 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 2,527 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
