📚 Description

Setting up agent-gh on a new machine took several manual steps: clone, pnpm, pnpm sync:context, then a token file with the right permissions. The docs also named an account that does not exist, wolfstar-agent-beep. The real machine account is wolfstarbot.

This adds one installer per platform:

  • scripts/install.sh for Linux and Ubuntu in WSL.
  • scripts/install.ps1 for Windows in PowerShell 7.

Each one checks the prerequisites, clones the repository unless it runs from a checkout, activates the pnpm version from packageManager through Corepack, runs pnpm install for the root package and pnpm sync:context, then saves the token. The token comes from a hidden prompt or WOLFSTAR_AGENT_GITHUB_TOKEN. It is saved only after GET /user returns wolfstarbot. The run ends with agent-gh api user --jq .login and agent-gh api rate_limit, and prints the login, remaining quota, and binary path. Both take a dry run, --skip-clone, --dir, and --replace-token (-DryRun, -SkipClone, -Directory, -ReplaceToken on Windows).

Windows stays native, without WSL. pnpm sync:context already routes to scripts/sync-agent-context.ps1 on Windows, which installs the PowerShell agent-gh from #26. So install.ps1 delegates nothing to WSL. It dot-sources scripts/github-public.ps1 and reuses its token path, token writer, and ACL check. The writer sets an owner-only ACL before any byte is written. icacls then removes inheritance, SYSTEM, and Administrators, so only the current user keeps access. agent-gh accepts that subset.

Other choices a reviewer may want to question:

  • Root package only. Both run pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --filter wolfstar-agent-kit, as the Windows CI job does. agent-gh needs no workspace package, and those need native toolchains.
  • Node 24 floor. This matches engines.node in packages/wolfstar-github-agent/package.json and CI. --experimental-strip-types alone needs 22.6. scripts/install.test.ts keeps both scripts equal to the engines field.
  • jq is now a listed prerequisite on Linux. A clean Ubuntu container showed that pnpm sync:context fails without it, because scripts/agent-context-hooks.sh reads the hook list with jq.
  • corepack install --global pins pnpm 11.22.0 outside the checkout too. Without it, the Corepack shim ran pnpm 12 outside the repository.
  • Configurable account. WOLFSTAR_AGENT_GITHUB_LOGIN (default wolfstarbot) sets the login the installers expect and the name in agent-gh --help. The account was never compared in code, only printed.
  • Token handling. The token goes to curl as a config line on stdin, or to Invoke-RestMethod in process. It is never an argument, and it leaves the environment before any child process starts. WOLFSTAR_AGENT_GITHUB_API points the token check at a stand-in server for tests. agent-gh itself still talks only to github.com.
  • Side effects of pnpm sync:context on Linux. It also writes ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and ~/.codex/AGENTS.md, installs the hooks, and sets the global git core.hooksPath. The installer says so before it runs the command.

scripts/install.test.ts runs on the Linux and Windows CI jobs. On Windows it checks the real icacls result: one allow rule for the current user, with inheritance removed.

Still to check by hand:

  • The full install.ps1 run on a real Windows machine: clone, Corepack fallback to ~\.local\bin when Node lives in Program Files, -AddToPath, and the hidden prompt. CI covers the token functions and the ACL, not the whole run.
  • One real run against GitHub with a token on wolfstarbot. My checks used a stand-in for GET /user and gh, because this session has no token. I could not confirm from here that the account exists.
  • An actual WSL host. The /mnt/c warning was only simulated with WSL_DISTRO_NAME.

scripts/install.sh (Linux, WSL) and scripts/install.ps1 (Windows,
PowerShell 7) check the prerequisites, clone the repository unless they
run from a checkout, install the root package, run pnpm sync:context, save
the token after GitHub confirms it belongs to the machine account, and
check the result with agent-gh. A rerun keeps a working token unless the
user confirms its replacement.

Windows stays native: sync:context already installs the PowerShell
agent-gh there, so the installer reuses its token writer and ACL check and
narrows the file to the current user with icacls.

The machine account is wolfstarbot, not wolfstar-agent-beep.
WOLFSTAR_AGENT_GITHUB_LOGIN renames it for the installers and the
agent-gh --help text.

🔴 Install-Workspace runs pnpm in the current directory, not $Repository · scripts/install.ps1:281

Correctness · scripts/install.ps1:281 · in install.ps1

Install-Workspace calls Invoke-Step 'corepack' @('pnpm','install',...) and the sync with no Set-Location to $Repository, so on the clone path pnpm runs in the download directory and --filter wolfstar-agent-kit matches no project, so the install fails.

Fix: Add Set-Location -LiteralPath $Repository (or Push-Location/Pop-Location) around the corepack pnpm install and corepack pnpm sync:context calls in Install-Workspace, as scripts/install.sh does with cd "$repo_dir".

🟠 Invoke-AgentGh in install.ps1 is shadowed by the dot-sourced wrapper · scripts/install.ps1:415-416

Correctness · scripts/install.ps1:415-416 · in install.ps1

Test-Installation calls Invoke-AgentGh, but main dot-sources github-public.ps1 at line 475, which defines the same name, so the installer’s version is overwritten. It never runs the installed agent-gh in a fresh pwsh and never checks $LASTEXITCODE, so a failing install still prints agent-gh is ready.

Fix: Rename the installer’s function, for example to Invoke-InstalledAgentGh, or dot-source github-public.ps1 before defining it, so the fresh-pwsh call is the one Test-Installation uses.

1. [high, correctness] scripts/install.ps1 line 281
   Problem: `Install-Workspace` runs pnpm in the current directory, not `$Repository`. `Install-Workspace` calls `Invoke-Step 'corepack' @('pnpm','install',...)` and the sync with no `Set-Location` to `$Repository`, so on the clone path pnpm runs in the download directory and `--filter wolfstar-agent-kit` matches no project, so the install fails.
   Fix: Add `Set-Location -LiteralPath $Repository` (or `Push-Location`/`Pop-Location`) around the `corepack pnpm install` and `corepack pnpm sync:context` calls in `Install-Workspace`, as `scripts/install.sh` does with `cd "$repo_dir"`.
2. [medium, correctness] scripts/install.ps1 lines 415-416
   Problem: `Invoke-AgentGh` in `install.ps1` is shadowed by the dot-sourced wrapper. `Test-Installation` calls `Invoke-AgentGh`, but main dot-sources `github-public.ps1` at line 475, which defines the same name, so the installer's version is overwritten. It never runs the installed `agent-gh` in a fresh pwsh and never checks `$LASTEXITCODE`, so a failing install still prints `agent-gh is ready.`

Tip

Set github.draw: on-demand in .github/pr-lens.yml and PR Lens stops drawing pull requests on its own. Comment @pr-lens draw on a pull request when you want that one drawn

🪧 More tips
  • Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
  • Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists
  • Click the link under each diagram to open it on a canvas you can zoom, pan and step through
  • The diagrams are links. Click one to open it on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change
  • Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time
  • The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time

Agent note: these checks were run by hand, because CI cannot cover them.

install.sh ran in a clean ubuntu:24.04 container as the unprivileged ubuntu user, with Node 24 on a read-only mount, a stand-in for GET /user, and a fake gh at /usr/local/bin/gh:

  • With nothing installed, it listed git, curl, Node, corepack, and gh as missing, and exited 1.
  • --dry-run from nothing left the home directory unchanged.
  • The full install cloned, fell back to corepack enable --install-directory ~/.local/bin, ran pnpm 11.22.0, synced, saved the token with mode 600 in a 700 directory, and printed login, quota, and binary path. A watcher sampling /proc/*/cmdline every 100 ms found the token in no process arguments.
  • A rerun with the same token left the file's mtime unchanged. A rerun without a token or a terminal kept it.
  • A second working token was ignored without --replace-token and saved with it. A token for another login and a ghp_ token were refused, and the saved file was unchanged.
  • A revoked saved token with mode 644 was replaced and set back to 600.
  • Through a real pty, the hidden prompt and the replace confirmation worked, and the token never appeared in the terminal output.
  • --skip-clone outside a checkout failed with a clear message. WSL_DISTRO_NAME with --dir /mnt/c/... printed the Windows drive warning.

install.ps1: Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer 1.25.0 reports nothing, and -Help and -DryRun run under pwsh 7.4.6 on Linux. shellcheck reports nothing for install.sh.

Agent note: the failing Workers Builds: wolfstar-github-edge check does not come from this pull request.

The build log is only on the Cloudflare dashboard, which I cannot open from here. Someone with access to the wolfstar-github-edge Worker can read the cause there.

… tests

The Windows checkout carries CRLF line endings, and pwsh creates
AppData under the temporary home there.

…gh call

Install-Workspace ran pnpm in the current directory, so a script started
from its download folder installed and synced nothing. It now runs pnpm
inside the checkout.

Dot-sourcing github-public.ps1 replaced install.ps1's own Invoke-AgentGh
with the wrapper's, so the final checks called the wrong function. It is
now Invoke-InstalledAgentGh, and a test refuses any shared function name.

Agent note: both PR Lens findings on afc0c6d were real. 4f65731 fixes them.

  • 🔴 Install-Workspace ran pnpm in the current directory. It now runs pnpm install and pnpm sync:context inside the checkout with Push-Location. A new test starts from another directory and records where each pnpm call runs.
  • 🟠 Dot-sourcing github-public.ps1 replaced the installer's own Invoke-AgentGh. It is now Invoke-InstalledAgentGh. A new test fails if the two scripts ever define a function with the same name again.

Both new tests fail on the previous install.ps1 and pass now.
