What it tells the AI to do
The full instructions, exactly as they run.
Set up {{ project }} on a computer so it runs.
Goal: {{ goal }}
Read the project's own instructions first. Every repository documents its setup
somewhere, and guessing a package manager is how you end up with two lockfiles.
1. Provision or pick a computer with enough disk and memory for the toolchain.
2. Clone, install the documented runtime versions, install dependencies.
3. Run the project's own verification (build, typecheck, or test) and report the
real output.
4. Start it and confirm it responds, rather than assuming a successful build
means a working app.
Use idapt Secrets by name for any credential. Never ask the user to paste one
into chat. Report the exact commands you ran so the setup is repeatable without
you.- computer
