SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the first-time configuration of the Claude Foundry plugin, delivering a safe, idempotent setup that can be re-run without side effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided, phased setup: Pre-flight checks, permissions management, workspace initialization, and configuration application in a structured sequence.
  • Safe, repeatable runs: Designed to be idempotent; running again preserves state and surfaces only necessary actions.
  • Spec-driven onboarding: Aligns workflow with the Foundry Reference instructions to bootstrap the development environment.

Quick Start

Run the foundry-setup skill to perform the initial configuration. Use --check to execute only Pre-flight Checks; omit the flag for a full setup. Follow prompts or references/setup.md guidance to complete workspace scaffolding and configuration.

What is automated workspace scaffolding for Claude Code MCP servers?▼

Automated workspace scaffolding initializes your development environment by applying configuration stamps and permissions management, ensuring the foundry-mcp server aligns with Foundry Reference instructions.

Do I need Python and Git to configure the Foundry MCP server?▼

Yes, configuring the Foundry MCP server requires the Python toolchain and Git access, alongside the foundry-mcp server, to execute pre-flight checks and workspace initialization safely.

Can I safely re-run the Foundry plugin configuration without side effects?▼

Yes, you can safely re-run the Foundry plugin configuration because the setup process is idempotent, preserving existing state and surfacing only necessary actions on repeated executions.

How do I run only pre-flight checks before a full MCP workspace setup?▼

To run only pre-flight checks for MCP workspace setup, execute the foundry-setup skill with the --check flag, omitting the flag when you are ready for the full configuration application.

What's the best way to automate permissions management for Claude Code workspaces?▼

The best way to automate permissions management for Claude Code workspaces is using a phased setup skill that applies configuration stamping idempotently, preventing side effects during repeated runs.
