Featured
-
Secrets distribution (CLI · MCP) — Vault custom fields → local env → hosting env; hub later so matrix changes are not retyping. Tutorial: From vendor dashboard to deploy matrix.
-
Composio MCP setup — Connect Gmail / GitHub / Vercel tools to Cursor for CI mail triage; finish with a real fetch, not install-only. Pattern for shipping similar tooling: Studio MCP install strategies. Duplicate catalog entries: read the form. Cloudflare DNS/Access: Connect Cloudflare in Composio.
-
Google Cloud OAuth for personal tools — Project + consent + Client ID when Composio (or rclone) asks for credentials; mental model: Google Cloud projects as OAuth boundaries.
-
gcloud CLI for agentic workflows — Cloud SDK login persistence for agents (separate from OAuth Client IDs).
-
Bitwarden CLI for agentic workflows — optional vault session persist for agents.
-
Context7 MCP and Skills setup — Library/API docs MCP for version-sensitive agent work.
-
Bootstrap Cursor skills — Personal Agent Skills without clogging always-on User Rules; YAML
descriptionis trigger words, not a lay blurb (skillwrite-a-skill). Operator path or drop the recipe into a permissive agent. Framing: Vibe coding bootstrap. -
Fast org bootstrap — GitHub org identity (profile, site, docs hub) as an agent skill; capability-area IT stays in Business Bootstrap. Not the same as installing Cursor skills.
-
Install and set up Nushell — Default shell for Dev-Centr on every OS.
-
Set up and manage WSL — Enable WSL, pick a default distro, open WSL Settings.
-
Set up Flutter tooling — SDK bootstrap; community version bridges until an official Toolchain Control Plane exists (see Toolchain Management Pattern).
-
GitHub Pages custom domain + Cloudflare HTTPS — Grey-cloud for GitHub LE; poll Pages API; companion
scripts/check-gh-pages-https.nu. -
Protect a static site with Cloudflare Access — Member-only hostname; GitHub org / Google / one-time PIN; cover
*.pages.devtoo. Setup order (OAuth App UI → IdP → policy → apps), team-name callback, Pages-token 403s. Why: Access in front of static sites. -
Finding Windows internals documentation — Learn / MSDN-shaped trees, MicrosoftDocs GitHub, search when wording differs.
