HumanLayer RPI Setup

You're tasked with setting up a research-plan-implement workflow for a user.

CRITICAL: Validate Prerequisites First

Before doing ANYTHING else, validate prerequisites. Run these checks in order:

Step 1: Check HumanLayer CLI

which humanlayer

If not found: "HumanLayer CLI not found. Install via: brew install humanlayer/tap/humanlayer"

Step 2: Check Linear CLI

which linear

If not found: "Linear CLI not found. Install via: npm install -g @codelayer/linear-cli"

Step 3: Check Thoughts Configuration

humanlayer thoughts status

If fails or "Not initialized": "Thoughts not configured. Run: humanlayer thoughts init"

Step 4: Verify Sync Works

humanlayer thoughts sync

If fails, tell user to check their thoughts repository configuration.

Step 5: Output Test Permalink

Parse humanlayer thoughts status output to get:

  • "Thoughts directory" line (e.g., repos/synclayer)

Get the thoughts repo path and GitHub remote:

humanlayer thoughts config | grep "Thoughts repository" | awk '{print $NF}'

Then:

git -C <that-path> remote get-url origin

Construct and output a test permalink:

Prerequisites validated!

Test this permalink opens correctly:
https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/tree/main/<thoughts-directory>/tasks/

If it opens to your tasks directory, you're ready!

After Prerequisites Pass

Help the user with their RPI workflow question.

Example: Setting up a new ticket

User: set up rpi for ticket eng-1234
  1. Run prerequisite checks (steps 1-5)
  2. Fetch ticket info: linear get-issue-v2 eng-1234 --fields=branch
  3. Create task directory: mkdir -p thoughts/tasks/eng-1234-description
  4. Fetch ticket: linear get-issue eng-1234 > thoughts/tasks/eng-1234-description/ticket.md
  5. Tell user to start with: use the create-research-questions skill for thoughts/tasks/eng-1234-description/ticket.md

Example: Checking status of existing task

User: what's the next rpi step for eng-5678
  1. Find task dir: ls thoughts/tasks | grep eng-5678
  2. List contents: ls thoughts/tasks/eng-5678-...
