| description | Use when installing, setting up, repairing, or initializing the Plexus remote-device memory plugin; when the user asks where Plexus stores persistent REMOTE.md host profiles; or when seeded host profiles need to be created from bundled templates. Runs Plexus bootstrap to copy missing templates into plugin data without overwriting user-authored profiles. |

Bootstrap Plexus
Use this skill before first use of Plexus, after plugin install/upgrade, or when
the user asks to repair missing host profiles.
Dynamic Bootstrap
This initializes missing persistent profiles from bundled templates. It never
overwrites existing REMOTE.md files.
!python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/plexus}/scripts/remote-context.py" --init $ARGUMENTS
Persistent Data Contract
Plexus must not store mutable host memory in the plugin source tree. Bundled
files under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/plexus}/templates/remotes/ are
defaults only.
Persistent host profiles live at:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/remotes/<host>/REMOTE.md
During local development outside an installed plugin, the fallback is:
~/.plexus/remotes/<host>/REMOTE.md
The user can override this with PLEXUS_DATA_DIR or --data-dir.
After Bootstrap
Report the data directory and any profiles seeded. If a profile already exists,
leave it untouched and tell the user it was preserved.
To inspect a seeded profile:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/plexus}/scripts/remote-context.py" <host> --no-probe
