What problem does it solve? Setting up Fabrik — the GitHub-Project-driven SDLC pipeline that drives Claude Code workers through Specify/Research/Plan/Implement/Review/Validate stages — involves several failure-prone steps: choosing a compatible GitHub token, creating a Project v2 board with exactly matching column names, and configuring secrets safely. This Skill walks users through the entire bootstrap process so nothing is missed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Prerequisite verification: Checks Claude Code CLI, gh CLI authentication, Go version, and GitHub token compatibility (classic PAT or gh OAuth token; fine-grained tokens do not work with Projects v2 GraphQL). - Guided installation and init: Walks through release-binary download or source build, then fabrik init — including --create-board to generate a correctly columned Project board automatically. - Board validation and first run: Ensures all nine stage columns (Backlog through Done, including the easily missed Queued) match stage YAML names exactly, configures a gitignored .env, and covers the safe first run. - Use Case: A user asks "how do I get started with Fabrik" in a repo with no .fabrik/ directory; the Skill confirms prerequisites, helps them install the binary, runs fabrik init --create-board, sets up the token, and verifies the board before the first poll. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you install and set up Fabrik in this project for the first time.
