About setup-rhdh-skills
Set Up RHDH Skills is a human-directed skill for installing the RHDH skill collection and configuring its required capabilities. It uses a setup doctor, branch-specific references, and an approval gate for changes to the user's machine and accounts.
Key features
- 01Install, upgrade, or repair skill collection
- 02Check setup status with a doctor
- 03Configure named capabilities by branch
- 04Plan and approve machine changes
- 05Keep credentials in owning stores
Use cases
- 01Installing or repairing the skill collection
- 02Setting up Jira or Google Workspace access
- 03Configuring repositories or local runtime
- 04Authenticating Atlassian MCP in Cursor
MCP support
One setup branch guides authentication for Atlassian MCP in Cursor. The skill's other branches cover installing skills and configuring capabilities.
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Bootstrap the complete pack, then configure the capabilities needed by its model skills. This is a human entry point because installation, credentials, and external mutations require human agency.

Preflight
Run the setup doctor before every branch:
uv run scripts/setup.py doctor --json
Consume the complete report. Reuse it during the session unless setup changes. The doctor lists installed skills, the skills still missing, capability status, and configuration locations; it does not read credentials.
Write gate
Installing skills and configuring capabilities writes to the user's machine and accounts. Invoke the
named skill mutation-gate and follow it.
scripts/setup.py install-plan states the ordered install operations, and
scripts/setup.py apply --plan <file> --confirm runs the approved plan and reports one outcome per
operation. Configuration branches state their own operations the same way.
Credentials remain in the owning tool's credential store or OS keyring. Pass secrets directly to the tool without placing them in conversation, configuration JSON, plans, outcome reports, or pack content.
Completion
A branch is complete when the doctor reports every promoted skill in assets/catalog.json plus
grilling, code-review, and handoff as installed, the branch's own capability reads as present in that same
doctor report, and the branch reference's smoke check has been run with its output shown. An
install branch additionally requires one reported outcome for every operation in the approved plan,
and the user told to restart or rescan the agent. When a model skill sent the user here because a
capability was missing, every capability it named must report installed before the branch closes.
Name any capability still missing as unresolved instead of closing on it.
