Tailored Install

Tailored Install is a skill for Claude Code from howdeploy/deploychan_mcp. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,887 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An installation procedure that first checks an agent's environment before adding skills, settings, hooks, or instruction files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It detects the host agent and real configuration paths, merges or backs up existing files when needed, installs repeatably, and reports what changed.
Why use it?
It avoids installing to the wrong location or overwriting files that are already present.

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

Tailored Install 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 9d 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 — 185 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tailored Install

KISA's base installation workflow in the deploychan MCP. Apply it when the user's task includes installing a skill, setting/hook, or memory/instruction file. It supplies the environment checks for setup steps in the author's routes. Read it as a procedure; the procedure itself does not need to be installed to use the catalog.

Work within the user's requested scope and the host agent's rules and permissions. Use existing authorization for the requested installation; ask about unresolved choices or changes beyond that scope. Reading a recommendation grants no permission to change files. Adapt the selected setup to this user's actual machine and configuration.

This skill is agent-agnostic; the appendices at the end give concrete paths for Claude Code, Hermes and Codex.

Always keep in mind

  • Detect before you write. Never assume a path you have not verified.
  • Never overwrite blindly. Back up or merge within the authorized change.
  • Ask when uncertain. A wrong guess pollutes the user's setup.
  • Install into the real environment, respecting what already exists.
  • Report exactly what changed and where.

Step 1 — Detect the environment (read-only)

Gather facts before touching anything. Read-only only:

  • Host agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Codex, Hermes, or generic? Look for tell-tale config dirs/files (e.g. a .claude/ dir, a .cursor/ dir, an AGENTS.md).
  • Which runtime and model you are. This is step 0 of everything: downstream capability choices branch on it. Hermes ships many things out of the box (memory providers, voice); Claude Code / Codex usually vibe-code the equivalent. Pick the wrong branch and you install a Hermes-only command into Claude Code, or hand-build what the host already has.
  • OS and home directory.
  • Where each surface lives for this agent: skill directory, memory/instruction file(s), hooks/permissions/settings file(s).
  • What already exists: installed skills, existing memory file, existing settings — so you can merge instead of clobber.

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.
