bootstrap-project-docs

To set up documentation scaffolding for a fresh repository, run the bootstrap command to automatically generate docs/roadmap and docs/architecture folders populated with starter templates and a CLAUDE.md pointer. This creates the initial structure without manual file creation.

When bootstrapping project docs, the templates included are docs/roadmap/README.md, docs/roadmap/phases.md with starter placeholders, and docs/architecture/README.md with a Topic Index skeleton. These provide ready-to-use structures for your repository documentation.

Scaffolding documentation will not overwrite your existing roadmap and architecture folders. The bootstrap process validates existing scaffolding before applying changes, ensuring your current docs/architecture and docs/roadmap structures remain safe from overwrites.

CLAUDE.md integration works with documentation scaffolding by appending or seeding a pointer file during setup. This pointer ensures Claude sessions automatically discover the newly created docs/roadmap and docs/architecture structures without manual configuration steps.

You need to scaffold project documentation in a new repo during initial project setup when it lacks roadmap and architecture folders. Bootstrapping provides a structured starting point with ready-to-use templates instead of building the docs hierarchy from scratch.

You can use this scaffolding on a repository that already has docs because it validates existing structures before proceeding. It safely avoids overwrites and only seeds missing roadmap or architecture scaffolding along with the CLAUDE.md pointer.
