Vm Bootstrap
Linux VM bootstrap verification skill. MUST BE USED when setting up new VMs or verifying environment. Supports modes: check (warn-only), install (operator-confirmed), strict (CI-ready). Enforces Linux-only + mise as canonical; honors preference brew→npm (with apt fallback). Verifies required tools: mise, node, pnpm, python, poetry, gh, railway, bd, tmux, jq, rg. Handles optional tools as warnings: tailscale, playwright, docker, bv. Never prints/seeds secrets; never stores tokens in repo/YAML; Railway vars only for app runtime env. Safe on dirty repos (refuses and points to dirty-repo-bootstrap skill, or snapshots WIP branch). Keywords: vm, bootstrap, setup, mise, toolchain, linux, environment, provision, verify, new vm
