SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keep a single authoritative, human-readable bootstrap document in sync with repository ground truth so agents and contributors can quickly see iteration state, top tasks, and run history without manual aggregation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads volon.yaml and repository storage settings to locate tasks, logs, and PCC.
  • Scans TASK-*.md files, counts task statuses, extracts top-priority TODOs, and summarizes blockers.
  • Composes and writes .volon/bootstrap.md, optionally archives a per-iteration history file, and validates the presence of the boot pack files required for agent startup.
  • Use case: regenerate the bootstrap summary before launching an agent session or after a batch of task updates to provide an accurate starting state.

Quick Start

Run the bootstrap-update skill with optional iteration and max_tasks_per_run arguments to regenerate .volon/bootstrap.md from repository state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a repository bootstrap summary from current tasks and logs?

Regenerate the bootstrap summary before launching an agent session or after batch task updates to provide an accurate starting state. This ensures agents and contributors see current iteration state, top tasks, and run history without manual aggregation.

How does a bootstrap summary keep repository ground truth in sync for agents?

A bootstrap summary keeps ground truth in sync by scanning TASK-*.md files, counting task statuses, extracting top-priority TODOs, and summarizing blockers into a single human-readable .volon/bootstrap.md document used for agent bootstrapping and task triage.

Can I update the bootstrap iteration and limit the number of tasks included in the summary?

Yes, you can update the bootstrap iteration and limit tasks by passing optional iteration and max_tasks_per_run arguments. This determines or increments the iteration count and controls how many top-priority tasks are written to the bootstrap.md file.

Does bootstrap-update validate required boot pack files for agent startup?

Yes, bootstrap-update validates the presence of boot pack files required for agent startup. After composing and writing .volon/bootstrap.md, it checks that all necessary boot pack files exist to ensure successful agent initialization.
