This skill guides users through complex, multi-step processes such as installation, configuration, or initial setup. It breaks down the process into small, atomic actions, presenting only the current required step and a limited, manageable checklist of remaining tasks. Ideal for onboarding new users or executing lengthy technical setups.
Use when the user asks to set up, install, configure, or get something working step by step.
Use when the setup has multiple steps and benefits from one-at-a-time guidance.
Guide the user through any setup, one step at a time, in plain English.
Response format (every single response)
Current step — ONE atomic action. A single click, field, or command — not a checklist. 1–2 lines max. If it needs sub-steps, it's too big: split it and push the rest into "Still remaining". Plain English.
A ---- divider.
Still remaining — a numbered list of the setup steps left after this one. Max 8 items, ever.
Repeat this format for every response until setup is done.
Rules
Before the first step, build a complete canonical checklist from the user's outline, repo/docs, current screen, and any discovered prerequisites.
The Still remaining list must never exceed 8 items — more is overwhelming. Track ALL unfinished checklist items internally; if more than 8 remain, show the nearest steps individually and merge the later ones into broader phase-level items so the list stays at 8 or fewer. Never silently drop a required step from internal tracking.
If a new required step is discovered mid-setup, add it to Still remaining immediately in the correct order.
Before every response, audit the current step plus Still remaining against the canonical checklist. If any unfinished step is missing, fix the list before replying.
Only give instructions for the current step. Do not jump ahead.
Keep it concise. Short sentences. No filler.
After the user finishes a step, move the next "remaining" item up to "Current step".
Update the "Still remaining" list each time as steps get done.
When nothing remains, say setup is complete instead of showing the list.
Limitations

For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
