SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap streamlines the rapid provisioning of a new Gardener instance by cloning the OpenSeed 3 template, configuring SSH deploy keys, and generating a launcher script and seed document for immediate operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clone the openseed3 template to a sibling Gardener directory
  • Generate and configure SSH deploy keys for GitHub deployment
  • Create a launch.sh script and a minimal seed.md for the new Gardener
  • Provide a self-contained bootstrap flow that supports fallback on SSH clone failures

Quick Start

Run the bootstrap process with your Gardener name to generate a ready-to-run Gardener instance directory containing seed.md and launch.sh.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new Gardener instance from the openseed3 template?

To bootstrap a new Gardener, the skill clones the openseed3 template into a sibling directory, generates SSH deploy keys, and creates a launch.sh script alongside a seed.md file for immediate, reproducible operation.

What is the purpose of the seed.md file in a Gardener directory?

The seed.md file serves as a minimal configuration document stored in the Gardener directory, ensuring a reproducible setup and enforcing safe startup practices across different environments.

How do I configure SSH deploy keys for GitHub during the Gardener setup?

The bootstrap process automatically generates and configures SSH deploy keys for GitHub deployment, supporting interactive and config-driven flows with a fallback mechanism if SSH cloning fails.

Can I run the bootstrap process without manual configuration inputs?

Yes, the bootstrap skill supports both interactive and config-driven bootstrap flows, controlling inputs and outputs to ensure a self-contained, reproducible setup without requiring manual configuration.

What happens if the SSH clone fails when provisioning a new Gardener?

If the SSH clone fails, the bootstrap flow provides a fallback mechanism to ensure the provisioning of the new Gardener instance continues, maintaining a self-contained and safe startup process.

Why does the launch script need to be wired to the harness?

Wiring the launch script to the harness ensures the newly configured Gardener instance starts correctly, executing the startup practices defined in the generated seed.md document.
