---name: env-and-assets-bootstrapdescription: Environment and assets sub-skill for README-first AI repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to prepare a conservative conda-first environment, checkpoint and dataset path assumptions, cache location hints, and setup notes before any run on a README-documented repository. Do not use for repo scanning, full orchestration, paper interpretation, final run reporting, or generic environment setup that is not tied to a specific reproduction target.--- # env-and-assets-bootstrap ## When to apply - After repo intake identifies a credible reproduction target.- When environment creation or asset path preparation is needed before running commands.- When the repo depends on checkpoints, datasets, or cache directories.- When the user explicitly wants setup help before any run attempt. ## When not to apply - When the repository already ships a ready-to-run environment that does not need translation.- When the task is only to scan and plan.- When the task is only to report results from commands that already ran.- When the request is a generic conda or package-management question outside repo reproduction. ## Clear boundaries - This skill prepares environment and asset assumptions.- It does not own target selection.- It does not own final reporting.- It does not perform paper lookup except by forwarding gaps to the optional paper resolver. ## Input expectations - target repo path- selected reproduction goal- relevant README setup steps- any known OS or package constraints ## Output expectations - conservative environment setup notes- candidate conda commands- asset path plan- checkpoint and dataset source hints- unresolved dependency or asset risks ## Notes Use `references/env-policy.md`, `references/assets-policy.md`, `scripts/bootstrap_env.py`, `scripts/plan_setup.py`, and `scripts/prepare_assets.py`.Use `scripts/bootstrap_env.sh` only as a POSIX wrapper around the Python bootstrapper when a shell entrypoint is more convenient.Minimal Run And Audit
When you've already identified what command to run in an AI research repo and just need clean execution evidence, this handles the boring parts. It runs your sm
Paper Context Resolver
When you're reproducing an AI paper from a GitHub repo and hit a specific gap the README can't fill, this resolves narrow technical details from the original pa
Repo Intake And Plan
Takes a fresh repo and does the boring first pass: reads the README, scans for setup scripts and documented commands, then categorizes what looks like inference
