setup-generate

setup-generate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,973 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A generator for setup.manifest.yaml files using the setup.aiwg.io/v1 format. A setup manifest is a structured document describing how to prepare and install a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate user, developer, or CI installation manifests for Linux, macOS, Windows, or Docker projects.
Why use it?
It removes the need to write the installation workflow and its platform-specific settings from scratch.

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

setup-generate 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 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

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

- Expand the docker `install_hint` to mention `sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 422 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

setup-generate

Generate a setup.manifest.yaml file for a project using the setup.aiwg.io/v1 SetupManifest language.

Trigger Phrases

  • "generate a setup manifest for [project]"
  • "create installer for [project]"
  • "scaffold setup manifest"
  • "write a setup.manifest.yaml for [directory]"
  • "generate install workflow for [project]"
  • "generate dev installer for [project]"

Parameters

project-dir (positional, optional)

Path to the project root. Defaults to ..

--output (optional)

Manifest path to create. Default: ./setup.manifest.yaml.

--name (optional)

Manifest metadata.name. Default: package name or project directory name.

--type (optional)

Install type: user, developer, or ci. Default: developer.

--platform (optional)

Target platform: linux, macos, windows, or docker.

--force (optional)

Overwrite existing generated manifest/script files.

--type (optional)

Install type to generate: user, developer, or ci. Default: user.

  • user — production/end-user deployment (default, behavior unchanged from previous versions)
  • developer — local development environment standup with OS configuration
  • ci — headless pipeline setup

When --type developer, output filename is setup.dev.manifest.yaml. When --type user, output is setup.user.manifest.yaml (or setup.manifest.yaml if no type is specified for backwards compatibility).

--interactive (optional)

Ask clarifying questions before generating.

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Discovery

  1. Read the project root to understand structure:
    • Check for package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, Makefile, etc.
    • Check for README.md, INSTALL.md, docs/install.md
    • Check for existing setup.manifest.yaml
  2. Parse local project cues when they are available; the CLI entrypoint emits a conservative starter manifest and leaves richer project-specific authoring to the agent skill.
  3. If --interactive, ask:
    • What OSes must be supported?
    • What are the hard prerequisites (git, node, python version)?
    • Is there a config directory that needs to be created?
    • Does the project chain sub-projects?

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.
