Fully automated new Mac setup for fullstack web developers and AI engineers. Generates and executes idempotent shell scripts to install dev tools, CLI utilities, GUI apps, AI/ML tooling, shell config, and macOS preferences — all via Homebrew, fnm, uv, and defaults commands. Use this skill whenever someone says "set up my Mac", "new Mac setup", "configure my dev machine", "install my dev tools", "fresh Mac install", "developer environment setup", or anything about bootstrapping a macOS machine for development. Also trigger when someone mentions setting up Homebrew, Oh-My-ZSH, Node.js, Python, Docker, or terminal configuration on a new Mac — even if they don't call it a "setup". This skill is opinionated and based on real-world experience setting up M-series Macs for fullstack JS/TS + Python + AI development.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
