SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines bootstrapping and configuration for Cursor workspaces by profiling the repository and generating canonical docs and configuration artifacts, enabling rapid project onboarding and collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Profiles the project to determine language, tooling, and repository state.
  • Generates the doc trio (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md) and the Cursor rules file (.cursor/rules/project.mdc), plus optional GitHub templates and git conventions.
  • Renders a complete bootstrap workflow (MCP/agent catalogs, template assets) and safely merges with existing files when possible.
  • Use cases include starting new Cursor projects, reconfiguring existing repos, and provisioning CI/CD scaffolds.

Quick Start

Run the init skill in your project directory to bootstrap the workspace and generate the documentation, rules, and template bundles.

Frequently Asked Questions about init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a Cursor workspace and generate required configuration files?

To bootstrap a Cursor workspace, run the init skill in your project directory to profile the repository and generate canonical docs, cursor rules, and configuration artefacts. It adapts to detected languages and tooling to emit CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and project rules.

What is the best way to set up agent documentation for a new mixed-stack repository?

Setting up agent documentation involves profiling the repository to detect languages and tooling, then rendering canonical docs and configuration artefacts. The init skill automates this by generating CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md tailored to your specific mixed-stack environment.

Does the workspace bootstrapping process overwrite existing CLAUDE.md or cursor rules files?

Workspace bootstrapping does not overwrite existing files blindly. The init skill applies phase-driven logic to safely merge generated configurations and documentation into existing CLAUDE.md and cursor rules files when appropriate.

Can I use this to generate GitHub issue templates and git conventions automatically?

Yes, you can generate GitHub issue templates and git conventions automatically. The init skill profiles your project state and renders optional GitHub templates and git conventions alongside the required documentation trio.

Do I need jq installed to run the project profiling and artifact generation?

Yes, you need jq installed to run the project profiling and artifact generation. jq is a required dependency for the init skill to parse repository state and generate the workspace configuration artefacts.

How does repository profiling handle single-language versus mixed stacks during workspace provisioning?

Repository profiling handles single-language and mixed stacks by detecting the project's specific tooling and language state. The init skill then adapts its rendering logic to emit appropriate configuration artefacts for the detected stack.
