All Rosetta prep steps MUST be FULLY completed, load-context skill loaded and fully executed
Shell = frontmatter + single ACQUIRE instruction, zero inline logic
No absolute paths in generated shells
Internal knowledge about IDE/agent shell configuration is obsolete — LIST and ACQUIRE from KB.
Step 1: Identify Environment
LIST configure IN KB (to understand supported IDE/CodingAgents)
Detect current environment, preselect IDE/CodingAgent
MUST ask user to confirm selection and provide multi-choose
ACQUIRE FROM KB
If multiple selected, must use common standards to reduce copies
Step 2: Install Base Files
ACQUIRE skills/load-context/SKILL.md FROM KB — install as SKILL
ACQUIRE rules/bootstrap.md FROM KB — install as CORE RULE, copy content (no refs/links)
Step 3: MUST Generate Skill Shells
LIST skills IN KB with XML format
ACQUIRE skill-shell.md FROM KB
Create all skill shells, reuse frontmatter from listing
Do not create init-workspace-* skills
Step 4: MUST Generate Agent/Subagent Shells
LIST agents IN KB with XML format
ACQUIRE agent-shell.md FROM KB
Create all agent/subagent shells, reuse frontmatter from listing
Step 5: MUST Generate Workflow/Command Shells
LIST workflows IN KB with XML format
ACQUIRE workflow-shell.md FROM KB
Create all workflow/command shells, reuse frontmatter from listing
Do not create init-workspace-* workflows and its phases
Step 6: Verify Shell Integrity
Diff each file against its shell schema — zero structural deviations
Verify: every file has ACQUIRE, no conditional logic/loops/inline instructions, all paths resolve
HITL: present results, confirm with user
Every generated file: frontmatter + ACQUIRE only, zero inline logic
All paths resolve, extensions match IDE config
User confirmed verification results
