Setup now begins by asking where the user will use DevSpace: ChatGPT, Coding Agents, or both. A Coding Agents-only setup skips both MCP project-root and public-URL questions; direct subagent commands use the current Git project or current directory. ChatGPT and combined setup still collect approved project folders and the public connection URL. All paths select which Coding Agents DevSpace may use, and forced setup preserves unrelated persisted configuration.

This layer also renames the bundled skill to subagents and rewrites it for both MCP hosts and Coding Agents. It uses any agent catalog DevSpace has already presented, falls back to npx @waishnav/devspace agents targets when availability is unknown, and does not depend on open_workspace. Installation stays with the Skills CLI through npx skills add Waishnav/devspace --skill subagents --global.

This is layer 4 of 4, based on #214. Coding Agents-only and combined flows were exercised in real terminals with isolated configuration directories: local-only persisted no allowedRoots, while combined setup still prompted for them. The full test suite, TypeScript typecheck, and packaged build pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DevSpace now separates initialization from serving, configures remote MCP and local harness subagents independently, persists provider selections, and prints a Skills CLI installation command. Documentation and the delegation skill describe the updated setup and devspace agents targets workflow.

Changes

Subagent onboarding and setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Subagent configuration model
src/onboarding.ts, src/onboarding.test.ts, src/user-config.ts, src/config.test.ts, package.json
Onboarding now updates provider enablement while preserving provider settings. It exposes the Skills CLI command and tests the new behavior. Automatic default skill seeding and related flag resolution were removed.
Interactive initialization flow
src/cli.ts
devspace init now collects remote MCP and local harness choices, validates public URLs, selects available providers, persists configuration, and prints conditional next steps.
Setup and delegation guidance
README.md, docs/setup.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/chatgpt-coding-workflow.md, docs/gotchas.md, skills/subagent-delegation/SKILL.md
Documentation describes conditional tunnel requirements, Skills CLI installation, persisted provider configuration, and the devspace agents targets workflow.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2732a

The change can leave locally installed skills unable to run their documented commands and can erase existing DevSpace settings when users rerun initialization with --force. These bounded correctness and data-preservation issues should be fixed before merging.

Poem

A rabbit hops through setup bright,
Providers bloom in chosen light.
No skills copied, paths stay clean,
A CLI command installs the scene.
Targets guide each helpful hare.

Greptile Summary

The PR expands devspace init to onboard remote MCP access and local subagent usage independently.

  • Adds interactive provider selection and preserves provider-specific configuration while updating enabled states.
  • Replaces automatic skill copying with an explicit Skills CLI installation command for local harnesses.
  • Adds onboarding tests and updates setup, configuration, workflow, and troubleshooting documentation.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no concrete blocking or independently actionable non-blocking defects identified.

The new onboarding choices map consistently to existing configuration semantics, preserve provider-specific settings, and retain MCP skill discovery through the bundled-skill fallback.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/cli.ts Extends initialization with remote-host, local-harness, subagent, and provider onboarding while conditionally presenting credentials and next steps.
src/onboarding.ts Adds a focused helper that updates provider enabled states without discarding existing model and effort settings.
src/user-config.ts Removes automatic installation of the bundled delegation skill and obsolete boolean subagent resolution helpers.
src/onboarding.test.ts Covers provider selection, preservation of provider-specific settings, disabling subagents, and the printed installation command.
skills/subagent-delegation/SKILL.md Documents the targets command as the catalog-discovery path for directly installed local-harness skills.

preserving allowedHosts, stateDir, worktreeRoot, artifact settings, agentDir,
