Arcantry setup

Create Arcantry setup instructions for your agent.

Answer a few questions about your project. You will get a ready-to-copy plan that asks your agent to install or update Arcantry, choose a setup that fits, and show you how to use it.

01What are you trying to do?

Set up Arcantry hereThis project does not use it yet.Change an existing setupReview what is here and adapt it safely.I am not sure yetLet my agent determine the current state before recommending anything.

02Is Arcantry already available on this computer?

YesIt is already available on this computer.NoIt needs to be installed before setup.I do not knowYour agent will check before continuing.

YesIt is already a Git repository.NoThere is no local Git repository.I do not knowAsk the agent to check.We do not use GitHubLocal Git may still make sense.

04Should your agent help you start with local Git?

This can stay entirely on your computer. A GitHub account or remote is not required.

05Who should share this Arcantry setup?

This decides whether the configuration is shared, private, external, or still only a recommendation.

06What should change in the current setup?

Choose everything that sounds relevant. Your agent will verify the current state first.

Shared and private boundariesWho can see which project knowledge.Knowledge sourcesOpenSpec, changelog, todo.txt, or their paths.Agent guidanceInstructions or agent compatibility.Repair or update itDiagnose drift and recommend the safe repair.I do not know what needs changingAsk the agent to explain the current setup and its options.

06What should Arcantry help organize?

These are independent sources. Choosing one does not force the others.

Requirements and planned changesOpenSpec for accepted product and engineering intent.Quick task queuetodo.txt for lightweight project work.Release historyA changelog derived from accepted intent.Reusable agent skillsProcedures that stay independent from project authority.Only inspect for nowDo not create or adopt a knowledge source yet.

07Which agent will use these instructions?
