Use when user says "set up workflow", "configure TDD", "wire up dev workflow", or after running /scaffold before /plan. Do NOT use for founder setup (use /init) or project scaffolding (use /scaffold). |

/setup
Auto-generate project workflow config from existing PRD and CLAUDE.md. Zero interactive questions — all answers extracted from project data that already exists after /scaffold.
When to use
After /scaffold creates a project, before /plan. Creates docs/workflow.md so /plan and /build can work.
MCP Tools (use if available)
project_info(name) — get project details, detected stack
kb_search(query) — search for dev principles, manifest, stack templates
codegraph_query(query) — check project dependencies in code graph
If MCP tools are not available, fall back to reading local files only.
Steps
-
Detect project root:
- If
$ARGUMENTS is provided, look for a project with that name in the current directory or projects_dir from ~/.solo-factory/defaults.yaml.
- Otherwise use current working directory.
- Verify the directory exists and has
CLAUDE.md.
- If not found, ask via AskUserQuestion.
-
Check if already initialized:
- If
docs/workflow.md exists, warn and ask whether to regenerate.
-
Read project data (parallel — all reads at once):
CLAUDE.md — tech stack, architecture, commands, Do/Don't
docs/prd.md — problem, users, solution, features, metrics, pricing
package.json or pyproject.toml — exact dependency versions
Makefile — available commands
- Linter configs (
.eslintrc*, eslint.config.*, .swiftlint.yml, ruff.toml, detekt.yml)
-
Read ecosystem sources (optional — enhances quality):
- Detect stack name from CLAUDE.md (look for "Stack:" or the stack name in tech section).
- If MCP
kb_search available: search for stack template and dev-principles.
- Otherwise: look for
stacks/<stack>.yaml and dev-principles.md in .solo/ or plugin templates directory (if accessible).
- If neither available: derive all info from CLAUDE.md + package manifest (sufficient).
-
Detect languages from package manifest:
package.json → TypeScript
pyproject.toml → Python
*.xcodeproj or Package.swift → Swift
build.gradle.kts → Kotlin
-
Create docs directory if needed:
mkdir -p docs
-
Based on dev-principles (from MCP/KB or built-in defaults):
Common Issues
CLAUDE.md not found
Cause: Project not scaffolded or running from wrong directory.
Fix: Run /scaffold first, or ensure you're in the project root with CLAUDE.md.
workflow.md already exists
Cause: Previously set up.
Fix: Skill warns and asks whether to regenerate. Existing file is preserved unless you confirm overwrite.
Wrong test framework detected
Cause: Multiple test frameworks in devDependencies.
Fix: Skill picks the first found. Edit docs/workflow.md manually to specify the correct framework.
