bc-bootstrap

bc-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from loacher-solution/bc-agent-plugin. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,049 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A first-run setup guide for Claude Code in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central project. Business Central is Microsoft's business-management software, and AL is the programming language used to extend it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it from a Business Central project containing app.json to locate the AL toolchain, optionally install PowerShell 7, configure AL and symbol MCP connections, and create CLAUDE.md instructions.
Why use it?
It checks that the project and required tools are present, then creates the configuration needed for later development work. It also stops when required setup is missing instead of continuing with an invalid project.

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

bc-bootstrap 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/download-al-vsix.ps1, scripts/ensure-pwsh7.ps1, scripts/resolve-al-tools.ps1, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

bc-bootstrap

First-run setup for a Business Central AL project. Idempotent: running it twice is a no-op if everything is already in place.

When to use

  • The user opens a folder with app.json but no .mcp.json entry for almcp.
  • The user says "set up Claude for this BC project" or similar.
  • Another BC skill fails with "AL toolchain not found".

Steps

Run these steps in order, using the Bash tool to invoke the PowerShell scripts.

1. Verify app.json exists

If there is no app.json at the project root, stop and tell the user: "Run this from a Business Central project root (the folder containing app.json)."

2. Check that PowerShell 7 is installed

pwsh -NoProfile -File <plugin>/skills/bc-bootstrap/scripts/ensure-pwsh7.ps1

If the result is status: "missing" or "outdated", ask the user whether to install PowerShell 7 via winget: winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget. Do not run the install without confirmation.

3. Resolve the AL toolchain

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <plugin>/skills/bc-bootstrap/scripts/resolve-al-tools.ps1

Parse the JSON output.

  • status: "ok" → note the toolsPath and proceed to step 5.
  • status: "not-found" → proceed to step 4 (download from marketplace).

4. Download the AL vsix (fallback)

Ask the user: "The AL toolchain was not found on this machine. Download the AL Language extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace into the plugin's cache? This is a one-time download of ~100 MB." Only proceed on confirmation.

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <plugin>/skills/bc-bootstrap/scripts/download-al-vsix.ps1

If the result is status: "error", surface the message to the user and stop.

5. Offer to install BcContainerHelper if missing

powershell -NoProfile -Command "if (Get-Module -ListAvailable BcContainerHelper) { 'installed' } else { 'missing' }"

If the output is missing, tell the user: "BcContainerHelper is required for container mode (debug/test workflows). It is not needed for compile-only work. Install now? (Install-Module BcContainerHelper -Scope CurrentUser -Force)" Only install on confirmation. Do not fail bootstrap if the user declines — container mode will fail later if attempted.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
