SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the setup of new repositories by automatically configuring standardized folder structures, Git workflows, and development standards. This eliminates manual setup errors, ensures project consistency from day one, and saves significant time on project onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Setup: Creates essential directories, configuration files (.claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md), and Git hooks.
  • Git Workflow Configuration: Initializes branches (master, develop, feature/initial-setup) and sets up pre-commit hooks for consistent development.
  • Pattern Library Integration: Populates a basic pattern library (.aetherlight/patterns/) for common architectural needs, promoting best practices.
  • Use Case: When starting a new project, simply activate this skill to instantly set up a fully compliant ÆtherLight development environment, complete with recommended practices for Git, code protection, and AI integration, allowing you to focus on coding, not configuration.

Quick Start

Initialize the project with ÆtherLight standards. Set up the repository structure and Git workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new repository with standardized project structure and Git configuration?

Repository initialization automatically creates essential directories, configuration files, and Git workflow setup including branches and pre-commit hooks, establishing a standardized development environment from the start.

What does project-type detection do during repository initialization?

Project-type detection tailors folder scaffolding and configuration to your specific project needs, customizing the .claude and .aetherlight directories and development standards based on the detected project type.

Can I merge existing CLAUDE.md content when initializing a repository?

Yes, initialization handles existing CLAUDE.md files by merging their content with new configuration, preserving your current setup while integrating standardized ÆtherLight requirements.

How do I enable VS Code and Cursor integration during project setup?

Repository initialization automatically configures VS Code and Cursor integration as part of the standardized setup, requiring no additional manual configuration steps.

What's included in the pattern library created during initialization?

Initialization populates .aetherlight/patterns/ with a basic pattern library for common architectural needs, providing ready-to-use best practices and reducing setup decisions.

Does initialization work with existing repositories that need standardization?

Yes, initialization applies to both new projects and existing repositories requiring standards compliance, configuring folder structures, Git workflows, and development standards on demand.
