Bootstrap

Bootstrap

This skill makes starting a new project a first-class workflow, establishing the durable artifacts that other skills rely on. It initializes the docs/ structure and core terminology.

Why this skill exists

Starting from a blank slate often leads to inconsistent documentation structure. This skill enforces a canonical starting point for vocabulary and architectural decisions.

When to use

• Starting a new repository or service.
• Initializing the skills framework in an existing repository that lacks docs/CONTEXT.md.

When to skip

• The repository already has docs/CONTEXT.md and an established docs/ structure.

Process

1. Initialize docs/

Create the standard directory structure:

• docs/
• docs/adr/
• docs/features/
• docs/research/

2. Seed CONTEXT.md

Ask the user for 3-7 core domain terms. Create docs/CONTEXT.md using the canonical format.

3. Record ADR-0000

If any major architectural decisions are made during initialization, record them in docs/adr/0000-architectural-overview.md.

Done when

• docs/ directory exists with the required subdirectories.
• docs/CONTEXT.md is seeded with core domain terms.
• (Optional) docs/adr/0000-architectural-overview.md exists.
