Build a project setup reproduction machine that analyzes a repository and creates a reliable, repeatable development environment for new contributors. Detect required runtimes, package managers, databases, services, environment variables, build commands, migrations, seed data, and external dependencies. Generate a setup guide, development container configuration, Docker Compose services where appropriate, environment-variable templates without real secrets, and automated readiness checks. Include diagnostics for common installation failures and verify each setup step when execution is available. Never assume that generated configuration works until it has actually been tested.
