name	langbot-env-setup
description	Prepare a local LangBot development and testing environment for an AI agent. Use when setting up WSL or Linux development, shared local URL variables, proxy variables, backend/frontend startup, Playwright MCP browser access, GitHub OAuth browser login, persisted Chrome profiles, or future Codex computer-use environment paths.

LangBot Environment Setup

Use this skill when a task needs LangBot to be in a testable state before product testing or development verification.

Routing

• Shared local variables: read ../.env before using URL, path, browser profile, or proxy defaults.
• Always start here: read references/browser-access-selection.md to choose the browser-control path.
• LangBot service checks and startup: read references/service-startup.md.
• Computer Use available: read references/computer-use.md. This path usually needs less browser/MCP setup.
• No Computer Use, browser automation required: read references/playwright-mcp.md.
• GitHub OAuth or persisted login profile: read references/oauth-browser-profile.md.
• WSL-specific notes: read references/wsl-notes.md only when running under WSL.
• Proxy setup: read references/proxy.md when external login, model provider tests, or package downloads time out.
• Headless-only automation: use only after a profile already contains a valid LangBot login. Do not ask the agent to enter GitHub credentials or 2FA.

Rules

• Never handle the user's GitHub password, passkey, recovery code, or 2FA secret.
• For OAuth login, open a visible browser and let the user complete the credential steps.
• Reuse a fixed browser profile path so the agent can later access the logged-in LangBot session.
• Keep environment-specific paths and commands in references/, not in this file.
• Treat environment setup as complete only after the target LangBot services are reachable and the browser profile can access the WebUI.
