Phase

• Change / Validate

Purpose

• Ensure environment parity and automate repetitive tasks (build, deploy, lint).

Use When

• "Add a Dockerfile"
• "Set up GitHub Actions"
• "Automate the build process"

Workflow

• Audit: Check for hardcoded local paths, environment variables, or missing dependencies.
• Standardize: Use tools like Docker, asdf, or devcontainer to lock versions.
• Automate: Wrap complex setup steps into a single scripts/setup or make command.
• Verify: Attempt to run the "Proof of Life" in a clean environment (e.g., a temporary container).

Output

• Environment Changes: List of new configs/scripts.
• Setup Steps: The "One Command" to get started.
• Proof of Life: Verification that the build/environment is stable.
