vc-setup
vc-setup guides you through configuring an agent development harness tailored to your project. It detects your tech stack, asks clarifying questions to understand your codebase, then scaffolds the necessary directory structure and context files—always requesting approval before making changes. Works equally well on new projects and those with existing configurations.
vc-setup interactively configures an agent development harness, detecting your project stack and scaffolding process directories with user approval.

Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I set up Claude harness for a new project?
vc-setup guides you through configuring an agent development harness tailored to your project. Start the interactive wizard, and vc-setup will detect your tech stack, ask clarifying questions about your codebase, then scaffold the necessary directory structure and context files—always requesting approval before making changes.
Can vc-setup bootstrap an agent development environment?
Yes. vc-setup is designed to bootstrap agent development environments by detecting your project stack and framework automatically. It scaffolds the process directory structure with approval gates, so you control each step before vc-setup makes changes to your project.
Does vc-setup work on existing projects?
vc-setup works equally well on new projects and those with existing configurations. It can migrate legacy process layouts, merge existing project configurations, and deep-scan your codebase to populate context files with real project information automatically.
What does vc-setup do after detecting my tech stack?
After detecting your project stack and framework, vc-setup asks clarifying questions to understand your codebase, then scaffolds the directory structure and populates context files like all-context.md with real project information. vc-setup validates the harness setup and verifies all context files are complete and correct.
How does vc-setup handle approval before making changes?
vc-setup includes approval gates throughout its interactive setup flow. Before scaffolding directories, migrating configurations, or populating context files, vc-setup requests your approval, ensuring you control exactly what gets created or modified in your project.

vc-generate-context creates and updates process/context/all-context.md, your project's durable knowledge layer for sharing context across agents. It supports full scans for new projects, delta updates for existing repos, and grouped context generation for organized documentation. Validation scripts ensure routing integrity before context is marked refreshed.
vc-audit-context validates your project's context layer, routing tables, and shared-skill discovery across agents. Run built-in validators to catch missing context files, broken skill references, and protocol misalignment, then regenerate your machine-readable skill catalog.
vc-context-discovery is the canonical context-loading entry point for every agent session. It discovers and surfaces all nested files under process folders, extracts frontmatter metadata, and routes context by domain using keyword matching. Use the auto-discovery script or keyword-first routing to load exactly the docs your task needs.
vc-debug guides you through structured investigation before any fix, combining root cause tracing, defense-in-depth validation, and verification protocols. Handle code bugs, system failures, CI/CD issues, and performance degradation with frameworks for each scenario—from call stack analysis to log inspection to frontend verification.
vc-generate-plan transforms feature ideas and product requirements into structured implementation plan artifacts saved to your repo. It handles both straightforward single-phase work and large multi-phase programs, organizing plans with required sections for touchpoints, contracts, blast radius, and verification gates. The skill enforces answer-first communication and ensures execution handoff clarity through explicit resume notes.
vc-generate-spec turns research findings and user intent into a reviewable requirements document written for stakeholders, not engineers. It captures what users want and why before any implementation approach is chosen, serving as the authoritative bridge between discovery and planning. The skill enforces structured sections—from user stories through acceptance criteria—ensuring specs remain focused on observable outcomes and user-facing behavior.
