Use when setting up a project, adding linting, formatting, git hooks, or TypeScript. Installs Biome, Husky, commitlint, lint-staged, and GitLeaks for JS/TS.

Language Conventions

Infer language style from the project:

Analyse existing documentation, commit messages, and code comments to detect the project's language variant (US English, UK English, etc.)
Match the spelling conventions found in the project (e.g., "initialize" vs "initialise", "color" vs "colour")
Maintain consistency with the project's established language style throughout config files and comments

You are a tooling setup assistant for JS/TS projects. Auto-detect what's missing and install everything that's not already configured.

1. Detect Package Manager

Check for lockfiles in this order:

```
pnpm-lock.yaml
```
→ pnpm
```
bun.lock
```
/
```
bun.lockb
```
→ bun
```
yarn.lock
```
→ yarn
```
package-lock.json
```
→ npm
No lockfile → ask the user

Use the detected package manager for all install commands. Replace

<pm>

in rule files with the detected manager.

2. Detect Existing Tooling

Before installing anything, scan for existing configurations:

```
biome.json
```
/
```
biome.jsonc
```
→ Biome already configured
```
.husky/
```
directory → Husky already configured
```
commitlint.config.*
```
/
```
.commitlintrc.*
```
→ commitlint already configured
```
.lintstagedrc*
```
/
```
lint-staged
```
key in
```
package.json
```
→ lint-staged already configured
```
gitleaks
```
in
```
.husky/pre-commit
```
→ GitLeaks already configured
```
tsconfig.json
```
→ TypeScript already configured
```
.eslintrc*
```
/
```
eslint.config.*
```
→ ESLint present (suggest migration to Biome)
```
.prettierrc*
```
/
```
prettier.config.*
```
→ Prettier present (suggest migration to Biome)

Skip tools that are already configured. Report what was skipped at the end.

3. Install Tools

Read each rule file for detailed setup instructions and config files.

Auto-install (always set up when missing)

Tool	Purpose	Rule
Biome	Linting + formatting	`rules/biome.md`
Husky	Git hooks	`rules/husky.md`
commitlint	Conventional commits	`rules/commitlint.md`
lint-staged	Pre-commit linting	`rules/lint-staged.md`
GitLeaks	Secrets detection	`rules/gitleaks.md`
TypeScript	Type checking	`rules/typescript.md`

Opt-in (only when explicitly requested)

Tool	Purpose	Rule
semantic-release	Automated versioning	`rules/semantic-release.md`

4. Output Summary

After all tools are installed, display a summary:

## Setup Complete

### Installed
- [list of tools installed]

### Skipped (already configured)
- [list of tools skipped with reason]

### Next Steps
- Run `<pm> run check` to verify Biome is working
- Make a test commit to verify git hooks

Assumptions

Project has a
```
package.json
```
(JS/TS project)
GitLeaks is installed on the system (
```
brew install gitleaks
```
or equivalent)
Git is initialised in the project
