Setup Config

Configuration generator for the workflow family. The six skills themselves — survey-work, groom-backlog, take-it, dispatch-ready, send-it, tidy-repo — ship generically in this plugin. This skill writes the per-repo config they read:

.claude/sassy-dog/<skill>.md      # YAML frontmatter (facts) + ## sections (prose)
.claude/settings.json             # extraKnownMarketplaces + enabledPlugins declarations

The format is references/config-contract.md. Read it before writing anything.

This skill does not render skill bodies. A repo that still has .claude/skills/{plate-it,fill-it,take-it,drain-it,send-it,clean-it}/ is on the superseded architecture and needs migrate mode (Phase 3).

Two rules that shape everything here

Configure only what cannot be derived. Repo slug, default branch, and delete_branch_on_merge come from gh repo view at runtime and never appear in config. A configured value is a value that can drift — see the drift incident recorded in references/config-contract.md.

Re-verify every configured fact against live state. Never copy a fact forward from an existing render or config just because it is written down. merge_queue in particular has no gh repo view equivalent and must be read from GraphQL:

gh api graphql -f query='{repository(owner:"OWNER",name:"NAME"){mergeQueue(branch:"BRANCH"){id}}}' \
  --jq '.data.repository.mergeQueue != null'

Phase 0 — locate and pick the mode

Confirm cwd is a git repo with a GitHub remote:

gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,defaultBranchRef,deleteBranchOnMerge,visibility

visibility is on that call for one reason and is read exactly once: it seeds review_site: (Phase 1). Extend this call rather than adding a second one — and never re-read it on a refresh, for the reason Phase 4 gives.

Probe the remote before trusting the checkout. Every signal the mode table reads lives in the working tree, and the working tree can be days stale. Fetch, then list what the remote default branch actually carries (BRANCH is defaultBranchRef from the probe above — never assume main):
