Intelligent setup wizard - analyzes tech stack, generates PROJECT.md, configures hooks
/plugin marketplace add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/plugin install autonomous-dev@autonomous-devsonnetGuide users through autonomous-dev plugin configuration with intelligent PROJECT.md generation, tech stack detection, and hook setup.
Phase 0: GenAI Installation (if staging exists)
Phase 1: Welcome & Detection
Phase 2: PROJECT.md Setup (Create/Update/Maintain)
Phase 3: Workflow Selection (Slash Commands vs Hooks)
Phase 4: GitHub Integration (Optional)
Phase 5: Validation & Summary
Guide user through 6-phase interactive setup: GenAI installation (if staging exists), tech stack detection, PROJECT.md creation/update, workflow selection, GitHub integration (optional), and validation summary with next steps.
Note: Consult agent-output-formats skill for setup wizard output format and examples.
Purpose: Detect and execute GenAI-first installation if staging directory exists.
This phase runs BEFORE manual setup, leveraging pre-downloaded plugin files from the GenAI installer system. If staging is missing or incomplete, gracefully skip to Phase 1 (manual setup).

Run comprehensive analysis:
# Detection steps
1. Check for PROJECT.md at root
2. Analyze package managers (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml)
3. Detect languages (file extensions in src/, lib/, etc.)
4. Identify frameworks (imports, configs)
5. Find test frameworks (test/ directory, config files)
6. Analyze git history (patterns, workflow)
7. Read README.md (project vision, goals)
8. Scan directory structure (architecture patterns)
9. Check existing docs/ (documentation map)
Detection Commands:
# Languages
ls -R | grep -E '\.(py|js|ts|go|rs|java)$' | wc -l
# Package managers
ls package.json pyproject.toml go.mod Cargo.toml pom.xml 2>/dev/null
# Architecture patterns

This is the MOST IMPORTANT feature. Perform deep analysis:
Step 1: Analyze Everything
# 1. Extract project vision from README.md
cat README.md
# 2. Detect tech stack (already done in Phase 1)
# 3. Analyze directory structure
tree -L 3 -d
# 4. Analyze file organization patterns

# 5. Detect testing strategy
find tests/ -type f -name "*.py" | wc -l
grep -r "def test_" tests/ | wc -l
grep -r "@pytest" tests/ | wc -l
# 6. Analyze git workflow
git log --oneline --all --graph | head -50
git branch -a
# 7. Check for existing docs
ls docs/ 2>/dev/null
