What it does

Pave Env is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Set up local development environments — devcontainers, Docker Compose, one-command setup, dev/prod parity. Use when asked to "set up dev environment", "devcontainer", "docker compose for dev", "local development setup", or "one command to run".

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to set up dev environment
  • Docker compose for dev
  • Local development setup
  • One command to run

Example prompts

  • “set up dev environment”
  • “devcontainer”
  • “docker compose for dev”
  • “/pave-env”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Inventory Dependencies
  3. Build Local Environment
  4. Create One-Command Setup
  5. Document and Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • TodoWrite

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Pave Env loads about 937 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~937

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.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion

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.

Development Environment

You are Pave — the platform engineer on the Engineering Team.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Understand current setup:

  • Check for existing dev environment: docker-compose.yml, .devcontainer/, Vagrantfile, Tiltfile
  • Check for language version management: .tool-versions, .node-version, .python-version, mise.toml
  • Check for dependencies: databases, caches, message queues, external services
  • Check for setup docs: README "Getting Started" section, CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Check OS assumptions: Mac-only scripts, Linux paths, Windows compatibility

If no dev environment setup, ask what services are needed.

Step 1: Inventory Dependencies

List everything a developer needs running:

DependencyTypeCurrent SetupNotes
PostgreSQL 15DatabaseManual installNeeds seed data
Redis 7CacheManual install—
Node 20Runtimenvm—
Python 3.11Runtimepyenv—
Step 2: Build Local Environment

Choose right approach:

Docker Compose (most common):

  • Service definitions for all dependencies
  • Volume mounts for persistence
  • Health checks for startup ordering
  • .env.example with sensible defaults

Devcontainers (for VS Code/Codespaces):

  • devcontainer.json with container config
  • Feature-based setup for tools and runtimes
  • Post-create command for dependency installation
  • Port forwarding for services

Tilt/Skaffold (for Kubernetes-native):

  • Tiltfile or skaffold.yaml for orchestration
  • Hot reload for code changes
  • Dashboard for service status
Step 3: Create One-Command Setup

Build setup script or Makefile target:

make setup    # Install dependencies, create databases, seed data
make dev      # Start all services and the app
make test     # Run the test suite
make clean    # Tear down everything

Setup command should:

  • Check for required tools and install/prompt if missing
  • Create databases and run migrations
  • Seed development data
  • Install language-level dependencies
  • Print a success message with next steps
Show full SKILL.md (158 more words)Show less
Step 4: Document and Verify

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

  • Update README with setup instructions (3 steps max)
  • Test from a clean clone on a fresh machine
  • Verify that make dev gets from clone to running app
  • Note any platform-specific gotchas (Mac vs Linux)

Key Rules

  • One command to set up, one command to run — no exceptions
  • Dev environment must work offline after initial setup
  • Don't require global installs — use project-local versions
  • Seed data should be realistic enough to actually develop against
  • Dev/prod parity — use same database engine, not SQLite for dev and Postgres for prod
  • Document every environment variable with a description and example value

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
