What it does

Environment Setup Guide is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Guide developers through setting up development environments with proper tools, dependencies, and configurations

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with Docker and Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/environment-setup-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • A credential in API_KEY
  • A credential in SECRET_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Requirements
  2. Check Current Setup
  3. Provide Installation Instructions
  4. Configure the Environment
  5. Verify Installation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • node
    • python
    • git
    • docker
    • psql

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • raw.githubusercontent.com
    • deb.nodesource.com
    • get.docker.com

    Also links to:

    • nodejs.org
    • docs.python.org
    • docs.docker.com
    • brew.sh
    • chocolatey.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY
    • SECRET_KEY
    • POSTGRES_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Environment Setup Guide loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 617 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 617 words (~2,955 tokens).

“Help developers set up complete development environments from scratch. This skill provides step-by-step guidance for installing tools, configuring dependencies, setting up environment variables, and verifying the setup works correctly.”
