Wizard
A wizard is a bash script that walks a human, step by step, through a manual procedure that's tedious to do by hand and tedious to re-explain to an AI every time. It opens each URL, says exactly what to click and copy, captures the values, writes them where they belong (.env, GitHub secrets), confirms at every stage, and shows how many stages are left. It might configure third-party services, run a one-off migration, or move the project from one state to another.
The delightful UX is already solved by template.sh: stage-by-stage progress, confirmation gates, cross-platform URL opening (including WSL), hidden secret entry, idempotent .env upserts, gh secret/gh variable writes, and a closing summary. Your job is only to scope the procedure and author its stages. The library above the STAGES marker is identical in every wizard; that consistency is the point: never hand-edit it.
A wizard is ephemeral by default; built for one run and saved under {agentRoot}/wizards/<slug>.sh. Read the ## Agent skills block in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md for the configured agent root. If setup has not run, ask whether to run /setup-skills or use a temporary path. Delete the wizard when the job is done. Put it under scripts/ and commit it only when the user wants a repeatable setup path that should live in the repo.
Process
1. Scope the procedure
Work out every manual step the human must take and every value that gets captured along the way. Read the repo first, don't ask cold:
- For setup:
.env,.env.example,.env.*,README,docker-compose*, framework config, and.github/workflows/*(everysecrets.*/vars.*reference is a value the wizard must produce). - For a migration or transition: the current state, the target state, and the irreversible actions between them.
Then show the user the ordered list of stages and the values each produces, and confirm: they may add, drop, or reorder.
