SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate native AI tool configuration for an existing project. Explores the codebase and produces context files, path-scoped pattern rules, landmine rules, and agents for Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor. Run once per project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Outputs per tool: CLAUDE.md (project context), AGENTS.md (universal), .claude/rules/, .claude/agents/ for Claude Code; .github/instructions/* for Copilot; .cursor/rules/* for Cursor; and shared universal artifacts.
  • Pattern and landmine rules are generated per tool, following the knowledge-base templates; universal AGENTS.md is produced for all tools.
  • Agents: tool-specific agents under .claude/agents/ and .github/agents/.
  • Module-level and project-wide context files are generated to bootstrap AI tooling for new or existing projects.

Quick Start

Run the bootstrap skill on your project to generate CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and per-tool rules and agents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-configure AI tool context for an existing codebase?

To auto-configure AI tool context, the bootstrap skill explores your codebase and generates native configuration files like CLAUDE.md, per-tool rules, and agents for Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor.

What is the best way to generate CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files for my project?

Generating CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files is done by running the bootstrap skill once per project. It analyzes your codebase to produce these universal context files alongside tool-specific pattern and landmine rules.

Does this bootstrap skill work with VS Code Copilot and Cursor configurations?

Yes, the bootstrap skill works with VS Code Copilot and Cursor by generating native configuration files. It outputs .github/instructions/* for Copilot and .cursor/rules/* for Cursor, along with shared universal artifacts.

Can I generate path-scoped pattern rules and landmine rules for Claude Code?

Yes, you can generate path-scoped pattern rules and landmine rules for Claude Code. The bootstrap skill creates these configurations under .claude/rules/* and .claude/agents/* based on your codebase analysis.

When do I need to run the AI configuration bootstrap process for my project?

You need to run the AI configuration bootstrap process once per project to bootstrap tooling. It is designed for existing projects to ensure generated artifacts align with selected targets in your .north-starr.json file.
