setup

<essential_principles> The setup skill checks that HelixLab's system dependencies are installed and guides the user through installation if anything is missing. It also detects the user's AI coding agent and provides tailored integration instructions.

Core dependencies (required for vision-replay): ffmpeg, ffprobe, bc Optional dependencies (required for record-browser): Node.js 22+, Chrome for Testing

This skill is idempotent — safe to run at any time. </essential_principles>

Step 1: Run the setup script

Check what flags the user passed (available as $ARGUMENTS):

• If --check was passed, run in check-only mode
• Otherwise, run the full setup

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup.sh $ARGUMENTS

Step 2: Interpret results

Review the script output:

• If all dependencies show ✓, report that HelixLab is ready
• If any dependencies show ✗, help the user resolve them based on the script's recommendations
• Check the "Record Browser" section — if Node.js 22+ is available but Chrome for Testing is missing, offer to run install-browser.sh

Step 3: Verify with tests

After installation (or if all deps were already present), confirm everything works:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tests/test-scripts.sh --check-ffmpeg

Step 4: Report status

Summarize for the user:

• Which dependencies are installed (with versions)
• Which AI agent was detected and how to integrate
• Any remaining action items
• For Claude Code users: remind them to enable auto-update via /plugin → Marketplaces tab → select the helixlab marketplace → Enable auto-update (third-party marketplaces have auto-update disabled by default)
