Architecture: Bootstrap Scripts

Component: scripts/bootstrap/Type: Environment Configuration Tools: Bash, Node.js, SPT

Design

The bootstrap scripts define the "Software" layer of the development environment. They are primarily driven by the setup.sh script, which transforms a generic container into a specialized "AI-Augmented" workspace.

Core Capabilities

1. Tooling Installation:
   • uv: Python package manager.
   • npm: Node.js packages (global).
   • claude-code, spt: AI assistants.
2. MCP Integration:
   • Installs and registers Model Context Protocol servers (Playwright, Chrome DevTools).
   • Configures ~/.config/claude/mcp.json.
3. Alias Injection:
   • Injects extensive shell aliases for workflow optimization (via config/aliases.sh and logic in setup.sh).
4. Claude Context:
   • Deploys CLAUDE.md and agents/ directories to guide the AI assistant.

Initialization Flow

1. Provisioning: infra spins up the container.
2. Startup: Coder agent executes startup_script.
3. Clone: User repo and dotfiles are cloned.
4. Setup: scripts/bootstrap/setup.sh (or dotfiles scripts) are executed.
   • Installs global tools.
   • Configures MCP.
   • Sets up shell environment.
