Create Environment Skill

Invocation

Prerequisite: This skill requires the memento-workflow plugin. If mcp__memento-workflow__start is not available as a tool, stop and tell the user: "The memento-workflow plugin is required but not installed. Install it via Claude Code: /install-plugin memento-workflow".

Before starting the relay loop, load the relay protocol by invoking the Skill tool with skill: "memento-workflow:workflow-engine".

Then call mcp__memento-workflow__start with:

workflow: create-environment
variables: {"plugin_root": "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "plugin_version": "1.6.0"}
cwd: .
workflow_dirs: ["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/create-environment"]

Follow the relay protocol to execute each returned action and call mcp__memento-workflow__submit with the result until the workflow completes.

Workflow Phases

Phase 0: Check Existing Environment

Detect if .memory_bank/ exists, count modified files
If existing: prompt for strategy (Resume / Merge / Fresh)
If new: proceed directly to Phase 1

Phase 1: Detect & Plan

Create .memory_bank/ directory
Run tech stack detection → project-analysis.json
Build generation plan (evaluate prompt conditionals + manifest) → generation-plan.md
Confirm plan with user

Phase 2: Execute Strategy

Fresh (default): Copy static files, parallel-generate all prompt-based files, update plan

Resume: Load existing plan, generate only missing files in parallel

Merge: Copy statics with 3-way merge, sequential generate + merge per file, update plan

Phase 3: Finalize

Fix broken links (fix-broken-links skill)
Check redundancy (check-redundancy skill)
Create generation commits (analyze-local-changes commit-generation)

Required Variables

Variable	Description
`plugin_root`	Absolute path to memento plugin
`plugin_version`	Plugin version for commit metadata

File Access

During generation, Claude Code requests permission to read plugin files. Pre-approve with Read(~/.claude/plugins/**) in .claude/settings.json.
