📦 Tapestry Init Deps Install

Automatic Dependency Installation with Environment Detection

This skill is automatically triggered when Tapestry is first launched on a new environment or when dependencies are missing. It detects the user's Python environment (venv, conda, system Python, etc.) and provides a comprehensive installation plan for all project dependencies, including both Python packages and system-level tools.

When This Skill is Triggered

This skill is automatically invoked when:

• Tapestry is first launched on a new environment (one-time auto-trigger)
• Required dependencies are missing or cannot be imported
• The user explicitly asks to "install dependencies" or "set up the project"
• After creating a new project that requires dependencies

Important: The automatic trigger only occurs the first time Tapestry runs in a new environment. After successful initialization, the skill will not auto-trigger on subsequent runs to avoid wasting tokens. Manual invocation is always available if needed.

How This Skill Works

1. Configuration Setup: Checks for user configuration and creates it if missing:

   • Detects if tapestry.config.json exists
   • If not, copies from tapestry.config.example.json
   • Determines the real project root path
   • Updates paths.project_root in the config with the actual path

2. Environment Detection: Analyzes the current environment to determine:

   • Python version and location
   • Virtual environment status (venv, virtualenv, conda)
   • Package manager availability (pip, conda, poetry, uv)
   • Existing installed packages

3. Dependency Analysis: Scans for dependency files:

   • pyproject.toml (preferred)
   • requirements.txt
   • setup.py
   • environment.yml (conda)

4. Plan Generation: Creates a comprehensive installation plan including:

   • Configuration file setup (if needed)
   • Python package installation commands
   • System-level dependencies (e.g., playwright install chromium)
   • Optional dependencies and recommendations
   • Environment-specific considerations
