description	Guide a customer through installing, configuring, and verifying Local Coding Agent with safe defaults.

Setup Assistant

Use this when a customer wants their AI agent to install and verify Local Coding Agent from scratch. It keeps the ChatGPT thread light by pointing at local tools instead of pasting long output.

Rules

• Never install system dependencies without asking first.
• Never download or commit tunnel-client; the customer provides it.
• Never print or commit API keys, tunnel IDs, or auth tokens.
• Default to mode=safe and policy=balanced.

Steps

1. Check prerequisites:
   • node -v must be 18 or newer.
   • git --version should work.
2. Install dependencies:
   • Windows: scripts\lca.cmd install
   • macOS/Linux: bash scripts/lca install
3. Configure the workspace with the customer's chosen folder:
   • node scripts/local-coding-agent.mjs setup --workspace <path> --save
4. Start the server (server-only check first):
   • node scripts/local-coding-agent.mjs start --workspace <path> --no-tunnel
5. Verify:
   • Health: http://127.0.0.1:8787/healthz
   • Dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8790/ui
   • Tools: run npm run test:agent from server/.
6. For long output, keep raw logs in local report/support files and return only a compact summary.

Report Back

Return: repo path, workspace path, MCP URL, dashboard URL, mode/policy, whether health is ok, and the exact next fix for anything missing. For long logs, attach the local file path instead of pasting them into chat.
