Generate Claude Remote Build Script: $ARGUMENTS
Produce the artifacts a user pastes into a Claude Code remote routine environment so this repo
runs in the cloud: a setup/build script that installs everything the environment needs, an
environment-variable template, a network-allowlist list, and the names-only
.lisa/remote-environment.json contract consumed by lisa ui.
Purpose
A routine's cloud environment lets you configure a setup script (runs once, cached) and
environment variables. This skill turns the read-only inventory from
/lisa:analyze-claude-remote into those concrete artifacts so the user doesn't hand-assemble them.
This skill ships in the base Lisa plugin and is distributed to every host project, so the generated
script must reflect what this repo actually needs — Lisa's startup hooks and configured
tracker/source, plus the host project's own package manager and tooling — not a hardcoded list.
Inputs
- Optional flags in
$ARGUMENTS:
--out=<path> — where to write the script. Default scripts/claude-remote-setup.sh.
--include-optional — also install OPTIONAL (dormant-stack) tools. Default: required only.
--print — print the script to stdout instead of writing a file.
Procedure
-
Inventory. Invoke /lisa:analyze-claude-remote --json and parse its machine-readable
inventory block (packageManager, tools, env, mcp, gaps, platform,
networkAccess, allowlistDomains, awsProfiles). If the analysis cannot run, stop and report why — never
emit a script from guesses.
-
Compose the setup script from the inventory. The script must be:
- Idempotent & detect-before-install — every install guarded by a
command -v <tool> check
so re-runs are no-ops and already-present tools are skipped.
- Fast — fits the ~5-minute environment-cache budget; avoid heavyweight installs unless
REQUIRED. Long/optional installs (docker images, chromium, ruby) go in a clearly-marked
optional section gated by --include-optional.
- PATH-correct — export the package manager's bin dir (e.g.
$HOME/.bun/bin) after install
so subsequent steps and the cached environment resolve it.
- Cloud-proxy aware — when the package manager is flagged
RISK (bun), add a comment
documenting the known proxy package-fetch issue and, where safe, run the install with retries
so a transient proxy failure doesn't poison the cache. Do not silently swap package managers if
engines forbids it; surface the risk as a comment instead.
- Non-fatal on optional tools —
REQUIRED tool failures should exit non-zero (so the env
build fails loudly); OPTIONAL tool failures should warn and continue.
-
Emit the environment-variable template. Write a commented block listing every env entry
from the inventory grouped by integration, marked REQUIRED/OPTIONAL and secret/plain,
with the reason. Never write real secret values — only names and placeholders, because the
environment config is visible to anyone who can edit it. Entries flagged providedBy: settings.json
(the committed .claude/settings.json env flags, e.g. CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS) are
— list them under an heading, not as values to set. The "set in the
environment UI" template is for . For every secret entry that carries
// (the
active tracker/source credentials from the analysis's group 4a), render those as comment lines
directly above the name — and — so the user knows exactly
where to get the token and what permissions it needs. Emit only the of the name
that the analysis reported (including any per-account suffixed form like );
never emit a keychain instruction — keychain does not exist in a cloud routine.
When the entry is , add a comment from clarifying that the token
is for CLI commands against the project/Lisa repos, not for raw git clone/fetch/push or
sibling repos reachable through the routine's GitHub proxy.
For OPTIONAL non-tracker MCP recovery entries discovered by
, preserve the same names-only behavior:
include , (+ /), or
similar documented substrate env vars only as optional secrets, with their
acquire/scope comments when the analysis supplied them. Never invent values or promote dormant substrates to required.
When AWS entries are present, list only as the
required secret and as plain configuration. Never
emit standard variables and never recommend .
3a. Emit substrate setup snippets. When the inventory marks an MCP
headlessUsable: true through a documented substrate, render the matching
wiring guidance as commented, opt-in setup:
- CLI substrates: emit the detected install/login commands gated on the
optional env var. For Jam, this means
curl -fsSL https://native.jam.dev/install | bash,
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH", printf '%s' "$JAM_PAT" | jam auth login --token,
and jam skills install, all inside [ -n "${JAM_PAT:-}" ] && ... guards so missing
optional secrets do not fail the environment build.
- Container-backed MCP substrates (e.g. the official SonarQube MCP): the MCP
runs headless as-is in a cloud routine — Docker is preinstalled — so wire the
real MCP rather than substituting REST. Emit, guarded on the optional env
token, the vendor CLI install (
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SonarSource/sonarqube-cli/refs/heads/master/user-scripts/install.sh | bash),
sonar integrate <agent>, and a sonar run mcp-image pre-pull so the first
run fits the ~5-min cache budget. Provide SONARQUBE_CLI_TOKEN
(+ SONARQUBE_CLI_ORG/SONARQUBE_CLI_SERVER); never emit sonar auth login (keychain
does not exist headless).
- REST-only substitute substrates: for a vendor whose MCP genuinely cannot run
headless, do not install an MCP — emit comments naming the REST host and env
var, and rely on the access skill or generated consumer to call the API.
- PAT-bearer MCP substrates: print a commented
.mcp.json headers snippet from the
inventory's mcpHeaders. Use this only when the analysis explicitly says the same MCP
transport supports static-token auth. Do not print a Jam .mcp.json header snippet because
Jam's preferred headless substrate is its PAT-authenticated CLI.
3b. Install the shared AWS bootstrap. When AWS is present, invoke
/lisa:setup-remote-aws --platform=claude. Reuse the resulting
scripts/remote-agent-aws-setup.sh; do not generate a second credential or
profile implementation. Add bash scripts/remote-agent-aws-setup.sh to the
generated cloud setup after required package installation.
3c. Write the project-aware console contract. Write
.lisa/remote-environment.json from the same fresh inventory. Its variables
array must contain only entries that are required: true for this project and
its active integrations; omit optional, conditional, and dormant integrations.
Each entry contains name, reason, source, secret, and required, but
never a value. Set startupScripts.claude to the generated --out path. Do
not add AWS merely because Lisa ships AWS support: add
LISA_AWS_BOOTSTRAP_JSON only when the inventory reports active AWS usage.
Preserve any valid startup-script entries for other agents that already exist
in the manifest.
-
Emit the allowlist + gaps notice. List any custom domains the setup or runtime reaches
(from networkAccess.allowlistDomains, falling back to legacy allowlistDomains) that the user
must add when the environment needs Custom network access. Do not include default Trusted domains
such as GitHub, npm/PyPI registries, or Docker Hub. Echo the gaps from the analysis
(auto-memory not synced, interactive-auth/stdio-MCP unavailable, etc.) and the
platform.secretsVisibility warning as a header comment so the user knows what the script
cannot fix.
-
Write and report. Write the script to --out (default scripts/claude-remote-setup.sh),
chmod +x it, and write .lisa/remote-environment.json. Print both paths, a
one-line summary of what the script installs and which env vars to set, and
the exact next step (paste its contents — or a
bash scripts/claude-remote-setup.sh invocation — into the routine
environment's setup script, and add the env vars in the environment config).
When --print is passed, print the script to stdout and do not write either
file.
Generated script shape
The emitted script should follow this skeleton (populated from the live inventory — this is the
shape, not a fixed payload):
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -uo pipefail
need() { command -v "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1; }
require() { need "$1" || { echo "FATAL: required tool '$1' missing and install failed" >&2; 1; }; }
() {
_field= _forced= _forbidden=
[ -f package.json ] && -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1;
_field=$(jq -r package.json 2>/dev/null)
_forced=$(jq -r package.json 2>/dev/null)
_forbidden=$(jq -r package.json 2>/dev/null)

}

Confirmation policy
Writing the script file is the deliverable — do not ask whether to proceed. Default to writing
scripts/claude-remote-setup.sh, then report the path and next steps. The only legitimate reasons
to stop are: the analysis could not run, or the --out path is not writable.
Rules
- Always derive the script and
.lisa/remote-environment.json from a fresh
/lisa:analyze-claude-remote run — never from a stale or assumed inventory.
- Never write real secret values into the script or template — names and placeholders only.
- For active tracker/source credentials, carry the analysis's
Acquire: URL and Access: scope into
the template as comments, and emit only the env-var form of the name — never a keychain command.
- For
GH_TOKEN, preserve the analysis's GitHub proxy split: it is for gh CLI commands only, and
raw git/cross-repo clone guidance must not expand the token scope to sibling repositories.
- Never emit an install for a tool the analysis did not surface, and never install
OPTIONAL tools
unless --include-optional is set.
- When AWS is in the inventory, reuse
/lisa:setup-remote-aws and its shared
setup script; never emit a second profile implementation or aws sso login.
- Prefer
networkAccess.allowlistDomains over legacy top-level allowlistDomains; never emit
domains already covered by the routine environment's default Trusted list.
- Keep the script idempotent and detect-before-install so it is safe to re-run and cache.
- Preserve the inventory's
REQUIRED vs OPTIONAL distinction in both fail-behavior (fatal vs
warn) and section placement.
- Surface, never hide, the
gaps — a generated script must not imply it makes a repo fully
cloud-ready when known constraints remain.
