README

Excerpt

Environment Setup

Position in workflow: v0.6 Architecture Design / Technical Specification → v0.6 Environment Setup → v0.7 Build Execution

Environment setup documents the tools, packages, and configurations developers need to work on the project. This eliminates environment drift and speeds up onboarding.

Consumes

This skill requires prior work from v0.5-v0.6:

TECH-* technology decisions (from v0.5 Technical Stack Selection) — Choices for frontend/backend/database/CI/CD determine which tools, languages, and package managers developers need
ARC-* architecture decisions (from v0.6 Architecture Design) — Architectural patterns (monolith vs microservices, container strategy, deployment topology) inform infrastructure and scripting needs

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
