isola-init
Set up isola for this repository, then verify it. Follow
references/setup.md for the full walkthrough; work from what the repo
actually uses, don't assume a language, framework, or OS:
- Install the
isola CLI if it isn't on PATH (command -v isola).
- Discover the repo's long-running dev processes.
isola init, then write .isola.toml: services, per-service env, and any
per-worktree databases.
- Verify with
isola up and isola ls.
isola hooks install so new worktrees start themselves (--shared shares it
with the team; isola hooks status shows state). For Orca users, isola orca
wires isola up into orca.yaml instead.

Read the file that matches the step (don't load them all up front):
- references/install.md โ installing the
isola CLI (step 1).
- references/setup.md โ the full setup walkthrough (steps 2-5): discovering
dev processes; writing services, per-service env
${...} references (including
.url vs .direct_url), and accessories; verifying; and the worktree hook.
This skill only covers first-time setup. The separate isola skill covers
running isola afterwards.
