Workspace Setup Skill

Purpose

Provides B1_02 workspace-architect phase checklist for quality gate infrastructure setup BEFORE any implementation code. Enforces zero-tolerance quality policy from project start.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-activates when:

• B1_02 workspace setup phase
• npm outdated, npm audit commands
• TypeScript version validation
• Quality gates setup (lint, typecheck, test)
• Workspace health validation

---

⚠️ CRITICAL: B1 QUALITY GATE CHECKLIST - MANDATORY BEFORE ANY CODE ⚠️

THIS CHECKLIST IS NON-NEGOTIABLE - NO IMPLEMENTATION WITHOUT INFRASTRUCTURE

ENFORCEMENT: workspace-architect MUST complete this checklist before ANY src/ files created VERIFICATION: npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm run test MUST pass HOOK: .claude/hooks/enforce-workspace-setup.sh blocks violations POLICY: /Volumes/HestAI/docs/standards/106-SYSTEM-CODE-QUALITY-ENFORCEMENT-GATES.md

---

📋 REQUIRED FILES CHECKLIST (BEFORE ANY src/ CODE)

✅ package.json - With ALL dev dependencies and scripts (lint, typecheck, test, build) ✅ tsconfig.json - With "strict": true and proper TypeScript configuration ✅ .eslintrc.cjs - TypeScript parser configured and WORKING ✅ .prettierrc - Code formatting rules defined ✅ vitest.config.ts or jest.config.js - Test framework configured with coverage ✅ .github/workflows/ci.yml - ALL quality gates (lint, typecheck, test) configured ✅ .gitignore - Properly configured (node_modules, dist, .env, coverage) ✅ .env.example - Required environment variables documented

---

🔍 MANDATORY VERIFICATION BEFORE PROCEEDING

# THIS MUST PASS BEFORE WRITING ANY IMPLEMENTATION:
npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm run test

IF THIS FAILS: STOP. Fix infrastructure FIRST. No exceptions.

---

📊 EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR B1 COMPLETION

1. Terminal output or screenshot: npm run lint ✅ passing
2. Terminal output or screenshot: npm run typecheck ✅ passing
3. Terminal output or screenshot: npm run test ✅ passing
4. Link or screenshot: GitHub CI green checkmark ✅

NO PHASE TRANSITION WITHOUT EVIDENCE - "It should work" is not acceptable.

🔄 THE CLEAN SLATE PROTOCOL

When Technical Debt Exceeds Threshold

TRIGGERS:

• More than 100 lint/type errors discovered late
• Quality gates weren't actually running
• Fundamental architecture issues

PROTOCOL:

1. STOP immediately - assess situation
2. Calculate: if (rebuild_time < 2 * fix_time) → REBUILD
3. With LLM velocity, clean rebuild often faster than fixing debt
4. Document lessons learned in /Volumes/HestAI/reports/retrospectives/

---

Execution Sequence

Step 1: Create Directory Structure

mkdir -p /Volumes/HestAI-Projects/{project-name}
cd /Volumes/HestAI-Projects/{project-name}
mkdir sessions coordination dev staging production

Step 2: Session Migration (if graduating from D0)

# Only if D0 graduation exists
if [ -f "/Volumes/HestAI-Projects/0-ideation/{TOPIC_NAME}/manifest.json" ]; then
  GRADUATION_STATUS=$(jq -r '.exploration_framework.graduation_readiness' \
    /Volumes/HestAI-Projects/0-ideation/{TOPIC_NAME}/manifest.json)
  if [ "$GRADUATION_STATUS" = "approved" ]; then
    cp -r /Volumes/HestAI-Projects/0-ideation/{TOPIC_NAME} ./sessions/
  fi
fi

Step 3: Coordination Repository Setup

cd coordination
git init
mkdir -p workflow-docs phase-reports planning-docs

# Create mandatory documents: PROJECT-CONTEXT.md, CHARTER.md, ASSIGNMENTS.md
git add .
git commit -m "feat: initialize coordination repository"

Step 4: Dev Repository Setup

cd ../dev
git init

# Create .gitignore
# Create directories: src tests docs reports
# Create basic README.md

git add .
git commit -m "feat: initialize dev repository"

Step 5: Create Deployment Repositories

cd ..
git clone dev staging
git clone dev production

Step 6: Symlink Coordination Context

cd dev
ln -s ../coordination .coord
git add .coord
git commit -m "feat: add coordination context symlink"

Dependency Validation Commands

npm outdated

# Check for outdated dependencies
npm outdated

# Update within semver range
npm update

# Update to latest (major versions)
npm install <package>@latest

npm audit

# Check for security vulnerabilities
npm audit

# Fix vulnerabilities automatically
npm audit fix

# Force fix (may introduce breaking changes)
npm audit fix --force

TypeScript Version Validation

# Check TypeScript version
npx tsc --version

# Ensure @typescript-eslint versions match
npm ls @typescript-eslint/parser
npm ls @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

# Version must match: both should be same major version

---

Quality Gate Verification Protocol

Step-by-Step Verification

# 1. Install dependencies
npm install

# 2. Verify lint passes
npm run lint
# Expected: ✓ No errors

# 3. Verify typecheck passes
npm run typecheck
# Expected: ✓ No errors

# 4. Verify tests pass
npm run test
# Expected: ✓ All tests passing

# 5. Verify build passes
npm run build
# Expected: ✓ Build successful

# 6. Verify CI configured
git push origin feature-branch
# Check: GitHub Actions show green checkmark

Failure Response Protocol

# IF ANY STEP FAILS:
# 1. Do NOT proceed with implementation
# 2. Fix infrastructure issue
# 3. Re-run verification
# 4. Document fix in phase-reports/

# NEVER write src/ code with failing quality gates

---

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: New Project Setup

# Complete B1_02 workspace setup
cd /Volumes/HestAI-Projects/my-project/dev

# Install dependencies
npm init -y
npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node
npm install --save-dev eslint @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
npm install --save-dev vitest @vitest/coverage-v8
npm install --save-dev prettier

# Create configuration files
# (tsconfig.json, .eslintrc.cjs, vitest.config.ts, .prettierrc)

# Verify quality gates
npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm run test

# Evidence gathered → Phase transition approved

Pattern 2: Dependency Audit Workflow

# Monthly dependency maintenance
npm outdated
npm audit

# Update dependencies
npm update
npm audit fix

# Re-verify quality gates
npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm run test

# Commit updates
git add package.json package-lock.json
git commit -m "chore: update dependencies and fix audit issues"

Pattern 3: TypeScript Version Sync

# Check version mismatch
npm ls typescript
npm ls @typescript-eslint/parser

# Fix mismatch
npm install --save-dev @typescript-eslint/parser@latest @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest

# Verify compatibility
npm run lint && npm run typecheck

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

❌ Creating src/ files before quality gates pass ✅ Setup infrastructure FIRST, then implement

❌ "We'll add tests later" ✅ Test framework configured and working BEFORE implementation

❌ Skipping npm audit because "it's just warnings" ✅ Zero security vulnerabilities tolerated

❌ Different lint/typecheck commands between local and CI ✅ Exact same commands in package.json and .github/workflows/ci.yml

❌ Suppressions without inline justification ✅ Every @ts-ignore or eslint-disable must have comment explaining why

---

Key Takeaways

1. Quality gates before code: ALL infrastructure setup BEFORE src/ files
2. Zero-tolerance policy: No warnings, no errors, no exceptions
3. Evidence required: Terminal output showing green checkmarks
4. Clean slate option: Rebuild if technical debt exceeds threshold
5. Dependency discipline: npm outdated + npm audit monthly
6. TypeScript version sync: Parser and plugin versions must match
7. CI mirrors local: Same commands in workflows and package.json
8. Phase gate enforcement: No B1→B2 transition without evidence
