huntiestack (Preview)

Build a single agent-first dev workspace.

Rebuilding Meta's Dev Stack Out of Meta | React Native Live

What is huntiestack?

huntiestack revolves around the devroot repo — a single private megarepo workspace for all development work, designed to replace your traditional ~/Development folder.

The repo itself is small: a folder structure, an AGENTS.md, a dozen bash scripts, and skills. It enables agents to checkout other repos as needed and work across them, and store knowledge from across sessions in a private vault.

Principles

• One development monorepo. I often work across more than one open source repo to accomplish an idea. Agent sessions rooted at ~/devroot are empowered to work across these. My dotfiles and agent skills can be maintained continuously in the same session.
• Shared config, skills, and context across machines. One clone carries the entire setup to a Mac, a dev server, or a cloud agent environment. Skills load from the committed agent directories with no install step. vault is a live, intentionally updated knowledge base.
• Stacked version control and targeted FB-isms. Scripts, skills, and IDE setup smoothing over daily workflows and a purposeful developer loop — for Git or Sapling.

What's actually in this repo

This the a public starter kit for devroot mirrored from my personal huntie/devroot repo (private).

• The /setup-devroot and /setup-vault skills, installable via npx skills.
• The synced devroot-template-latest/ folder, containing the public core of devroot, that the setup skill downloads.

Get started

Install the two skills here into your home directory, then ask your agent to set up a devroot of your own:

npx skills add huntie/huntiestack -g
/setup-devroot

That fetches devroot-template-latest/ from this repo, installs every skill from huntie/skills, writes the initial commit, and runs the workspace's own setup.

This is a starting point!

Everyone's dev setup is different. /setup-devroot gives you a folder structure, control plane scripts, and the vault repo. You're free to customise the vault as you need, as well as to uninstall my skills in skills-lock.json and fork them in your skills/ folder. Build what works for you 💯.
