What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Automated FinFocus CLI and plugin setup workflow. Use when installing finfocus, setting up plugins for cloud providers, initializing configuration, bootstrapping a new finfocus environment, or onboarding a project for cost analysis. Triggers on: "install finfocus", "setup finfocus", "configure cost analysis", "install plugins", "bootstrap finfocus", "finfocus setup", "add cost tracking", "onboard project", or any task involving initial finfocus installation and environment configuration.

FinFocus Installation

Quick Path: Existing Install

If finfocus is already installed, prefer the built-in setup command:

finfocus setup                    # Full bootstrap (idempotent)
finfocus setup --skip-analyzer    # Without Pulumi analyzer
finfocus setup --skip-plugins     # Without plugins (offline)
finfocus setup --non-interactive  # CI/CD mode

Setup runs: version check, Pulumi detection, directory creation, config init, analyzer install, and default plugin (aws-public) install.

Full Workflow

Step 1: Check Existing Installation

finfocus --version

If installed, skip to Step 3. If not, continue.

Step 2: Install the CLI Binary

Install script (Linux/macOS):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rshade/finfocus/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Env Var	Purpose
`FINFOCUS_VERSION`	Pin specific version (default: latest)
`FINFOCUS_INSTALL_DIR`	Custom install dir (default: `/usr/local/bin` or `~/.local/bin`)
`FINFOCUS_NO_VERIFY=1`	Skip SHA256 checksum verification

Go install (fallback/Windows):

go install github.com/rshade/finfocus/cmd/finfocus@latest

Source build (last resort):

git clone https://github.com/rshade/finfocus.git && cd finfocus && make build

Verify: finfocus --version

Step 3: Detect Cloud Providers

Determine which plugins to install:

Check for Pulumi.yaml/Pulumi.yml — scan resource type prefixes (aws:, kubernetes:)
Check Pulumi state (pulumi stack export) for resource types
Check filesystem: ~/.aws/, ~/.config/gcloud/, ~/.azure/, kubeconfig
Default to aws-public if nothing detected

Provider-to-plugin mapping — see references/registry-plugins.md.

Step 4: Install Plugins

finfocus plugin install aws-public
finfocus plugin install kubecost

Key flags — see references/install-commands.md for the complete flag reference.

# Region-specific AWS pricing
finfocus plugin install aws-public --metadata="region=us-east-1"

# CI: auto-fallback if version lacks platform assets
finfocus plugin install aws-public --fallback-to-latest

# Reinstall + clean old versions
finfocus plugin install aws-public --force --clean

Step 5: Initialize Configuration

# Inside a Pulumi project → project-local config
finfocus config init
# Creates: $PROJECT/.finfocus/config.yaml + .gitignore

# Global config
finfocus config init --global
# Creates: ~/.finfocus/config.yaml

Config precedence: project-local > global > env vars > defaults.

Step 6: Install Pulumi Analyzer (Optional)

For inline cost estimates during pulumi preview:

finfocus analyzer install
finfocus analyzer check           # Verify setup

Then run: pulumi preview --policy-pack ~/.finfocus/analyzer

Add to PATH for discovery: export PATH="$HOME/.finfocus/analyzer:$PATH"

Step 7: Validate

finfocus plugin validate          # Check all plugin binaries
finfocus plugin list --verbose    # Confirm installed plugins
finfocus plugin list --available  # Show registry plugins
