pywayne-bin-toolsetup

pywayne-bin-toolsetup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangyendt/wayne-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,508 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A command-line setup tool for configuring recurring development-machine tasks on macOS, Linux, and some Windows workflows. It handles shell shortcuts and selected installations such as npm, Tailscale, or MongoDB where supported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure shortcuts, bootstrap npm, install Tailscale on supported Linux systems, set up MongoDB or PyMongo on macOS and Linux, and preview changes with a dry run.
Why use it?
It replaces repeated manual setup commands with platform-aware tasks, previews, confirmations, and managed configuration blocks that can be run again safely.

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

pywayne-bin-toolsetup 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 3d 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.

The task runs the official Linux installer, enables `tailscaled` when systemd is active, and runs `sudo tailscale up`. Explain that first use normally prints an authentication URL. Do not suggest this task for macOS or W

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pywayne Bin Toolsetup

Use toolsetup as the source of truth for repeatable developer-machine setup. Prefer its task interface over pasting ad-hoc rc snippets or long installer command sequences because it provides platform checks, idempotent managed blocks, confirmation, and dry-run output.

Start safely

Identify the target platform and requested task, then preview installation work first unless the user explicitly asks you to execute it:

toolsetup --task <shortcuts|npm|tailscale|mongodb|all> --platform <auto|macos|linux|windows> --dry-run

Use --yes only when the user has authorized actual installation. npm, Tailscale, and MongoDB may download software and use sudo; shortcut-only configuration does not require the confirmation flag.

An explicit platform that differs from the host is accepted only with --dry-run. Do not work around that guard.

Support matrix

Task macOS Linux Windows
shortcuts bash/zsh bash/zsh, including gpu PowerShell
npm yes yes no
tailscale no yes no
mongodb yes yes no

--task all selects only tasks supported by the target platform. On Windows this means shortcuts only. Do not claim that the gpu command is available on macOS or Windows; by design it is Linux-only.

Shortcut configuration

Use the detected shell, or select it explicitly:

toolsetup --task shortcuts --platform macos --shell zsh
toolsetup --task shortcuts --platform linux --shell bash
toolsetup.cmd --task shortcuts --platform windows

The Unix block provides:

  • proxy_on / proxy_off: toggle HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, and NO_PROXY variables and Git global proxy settings.
  • goto: persist directory shortcuts in ~/.goto_paths.
  • gpu: on Linux only, show NVIDIA hardware, compute processes, and VRAM totals by user.

PowerShell provides proxy_on, proxy_off, and goto, storing paths in ~/.goto_paths.json.

Customize defaults and seed paths with:

toolsetup --task shortcuts --platform auto \
  --http-proxy http://127.0.0.1:7890 \
  --socks-proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:7890 \
  --no-proxy 'localhost,127.0.0.1,.example.com' \
  --goto code="$HOME/Documents/work/code" \
  --goto tools="$HOME/Documents/tools"

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.
