What this skill does
Setup Wizard Generator Generates an interactive bash wizard: a script that walks a human, step by step, through a manual procedure that is tedious to do by hand and tedious to re-explain every time. It opens each URL, says exactly what to click and copy, captures the values, writes them where they belong (.env, GitHub secrets), confirms at every stage, and shows how many stages are left. Ported from mattpocock/skills' MIT-licensed wizard skill. When to Use Provisioning infrastructure or third-party services (Stripe, Supabase, DNS, OAuth apps) where only a human can click through the dashboard Setting up credentials, CI secrets, or repo variables One-off migrations or cutovers with irreversible human-gated steps Any procedure the user will hand to a teammate to run Do NOT use for steps the agent can perform itself — do those directly. Prerequisites bash; gh CLI only if stages write GitHub secrets/variables The library template: templates/template.sh in this skill's directory Procedure 1. Scope the procedure Work out every manual step the human must take and every value captured along the way. Read the repo first, don't ask cold: Setup: .env, .env.example, README, docker-compose, framework config, and .github/workflows/ (every secrets. / vars. reference is a value the wizard must produce). Migration/cutover: the current state, the target state, and the irreversible actions between them. Show the user the ordered stage list and the values each produces; they may add, drop, or reorder. Done when every stage is named in order and, for each captured value, you know (a) where the human gets it, (b) where it's written (.env, a GitHub secret, both, or nowhere), and (c) whether it's secret (hidden entry) or public. 2. Map each stage's journey For each stage, write the precise path a human follows: which URL to open, what to do there, where the value is shown — e.g. "Dashboard → Developers → API keys → Reveal test key → copy". …
