Admin - Local Machine Companion (Alpha)

🛑 PROFILE GATE — MANDATORY FIRST STEP

HALT. You MUST check for a profile before ANY operation. This is non-negotiable.

Step 1: Test Profile Exists

PowerShell (Windows):

pwsh -NoProfile -File "$HOME\.claude\skills\admin\scripts\Test-AdminProfile.ps1"

Bash (WSL/Linux/macOS):

~/.claude/skills/admin/scripts/test-admin-profile.sh

Returns JSON: {"exists":true|false,"path":"...","device":"..."}

Step 2: If exists: false → HALT AND RUN SETUP

DO NOT CONTINUE with the user's task. You must create a profile first.

Use the TUI interview below to gather preferences, then call the setup script.

🎤 TUI Setup Interview (Agent-Driven)

When profile does not exist, ask these questions using your TUI capabilities (e.g., AskUserQuestion).

Q1: Storage Location (Required)

Ask: "Will you use Admin on a single device or multiple devices?"

If "Multiple devices" selected, follow up: "Enter the path to your cloud-synced folder"

• Examples: C:\Users\You\Dropbox\.admin, ~/Dropbox/.admin, N:\Shared\.admin

Q2: Tool Preferences (Optional)

Ask: "Set tool preferences now, or use defaults?"

If yes, ask each:

• Package manager: winget (default) / scoop / choco / brew / apt
• Python manager: uv (default) / pip / conda / poetry
• Node manager: npm (default) / pnpm / yarn / bun
• Default shell: pwsh (default) / powershell / bash / zsh

Q3: Inventory Scan (Optional)

Ask: "Run a quick inventory scan to detect installed tools?"

• Yes: Scans for git, node, python, docker, ssh, etc. and records versions
• No: Creates minimal profile, tools detected on first use

🔧 Create Profile (After Interview)

Pass the user's answers to the setup script.

PowerShell:

pwsh -NoProfile -File "$HOME\.claude\skills\admin\scripts\New-AdminProfile.ps1" `
  -AdminRoot "C:/Users/You/.admin" `
  -PkgMgr "winget" `
  -PyMgr "uv" `
  -NodeMgr "npm" `
  -ShellDefault "pwsh" `
  -RunInventory

Bash:

~/.claude/skills/admin/scripts/new-admin-profile.sh \
  --admin-root "$HOME/.admin" \
  --pkg-mgr "brew" \
  --py-mgr "uv" \
  --node-mgr "npm" \
  --shell-default "zsh" \
  --run-inventory

Add -MultiDevice (PowerShell) or --multi-device (Bash) if user selected multi-device setup.

After Profile Created

1. Verify: Re-run Test-AdminProfile.ps1 or test-admin-profile.sh → should return exists: true
2. Load profile: See references/profile-gate.md for load commands
3. Now proceed with the user's original task

CRITICAL: Secrets and .env

• NEVER store live .env files or credentials inside any skill folder.
• .env.template files belong only in templates/ within a skill.
• Store live secrets in ~/.admin/.env and reference from there.

Task Qualification (MANDATORY)

• If the task involves remote servers/VPS/cloud, stop and hand off to admin-devops.
• If the task is local machine administration, continue.
• If ambiguous, ask a clarifying question before proceeding.

Task Routing

Profile-Aware Adaptation (Always Check Preferences)

• Python: preferences.python.manager (uv/pip/conda/poetry)
• Node: preferences.node.manager (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun)
• Packages: preferences.packages.manager (scoop/winget/choco/brew/apt)

Never suggest install commands without checking preferences first.

Package Installation Workflow (All Platforms)

1. Detect environment (Windows/WSL/Linux/macOS)
2. Load profile via profile gate
3. Check if tool already installed (profile.tools)
4. Use preferred package manager
5. Log the operation

Logging (MANDATORY)

Log every operation with the shared helpers:

• PowerShell: scripts/Log-AdminEvent.ps1
• Bash: scripts/log-admin-event.sh

Example (bash):

source ~/.claude/skills/admin/scripts/log-admin-event.sh
log_admin_event "Installed ripgrep" "OK"
