SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill handles the first-time setup of a project team when no squad exists yet, guiding the workflow from an empty repository state to a confirmed roster and initialized team structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase onboarding: Proposes a team first, waits for explicit user confirmation, and only then creates the team files and directories.
  • Roster casting and role assignment: Builds a role-based team proposal that fits the project description and session context.
  • Safe initialization safeguards: Prevents premature file creation, preserves user privacy, and enforces required repository conventions for squad workflows.
  • Use case: A new repo has no team metadata, so the Skill asks what the project is, suggests a team, and then initializes the team structure after approval.

Quick Start

Ask this skill to initialize the team for your new project and wait for the proposed roster before confirming.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new project team in an empty repository?

To bootstrap a project team, this Skill proposes a role-based roster and creates the squad structure only after you explicitly confirm the suggested team initialization.

What is the workflow for first-time team initialization and role casting?

Team initialization uses a two-phase onboarding workflow that suggests a roster based on your project description, waits for approval, and then sets up workflow files and persistent team state.

Can I set up workflow automation files without manually defining the team roster?

Yes, you can request team setup and the Skill will automatically generate a roster proposal with assigned roles, allowing you to approve the squad structure before any files are created.

Does project bootstrap create files prematurely before roster validation?

No, project bootstrap includes safe initialization safeguards that prevent premature file creation, ensuring no directories or team files are written until explicit roster confirmation is received.

What's the best way to plan a squad roster for a new software project?

The best way to plan a squad roster is using guided team initialization, which evaluates your session context and project description to propose a customized role-based team for your approval.
