What is the primary benefit of the mac-setup skill?

It ensures all SRP developers have a consistent, correctly configured environment while automating the tedious process of installing and verifying dozens of tools and cloud contexts.

Does it support modern M-series (Apple Silicon) Macs?

Yes, the installation paths and binary downloads are optimized for modern macOS hardware, including specific handling for ARM-based architectures.

Can I choose which components to install?

Absolutely. The skill includes a Phase 3 'User Selection' step where you can pick specific categories like Cloud CLIs, DevOps tools, or IDE extensions based on your role.

How does it confirm that everything was installed correctly?

The skill runs a Phase 5 verification script that checks version numbers, verifies path existence, and tests connectivity to GKE clusters and internal mirrors.

Does it require any manual intervention during setup?

Yes, manual steps are required for the initial Homebrew installation (due to system password requirements) and cloud authentication steps like gcloud login.
