SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new project repo from scratch involves dozens of decisions and boilerplate files — repo layout, stack choices, agent conventions, task tracking — that are easy to get inconsistent. This Skill runs a structured ~10-question interview about your stack and product, then scaffolds a complete, immediately workable repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided interview: Asks about repo shape (single vs moon + proto monorepo), apps (website, webapp, mobile, API, docs, CLI, desktop), and product context (pricing, legal docs, socials, i18n, theming, look & feel), skipping irrelevant questions. - Full repo scaffolding: Generates the moon/proto workspace, README, .gitignore, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/GEMINI.md convention stubs, and copies the midnite onboarding kit (.claude/.agents/.codex skill mirrors) verbatim from templates/midnite/. - MVP phase docs: Writes one connected phase doc per app in .midnite/tasks/phases/ plus an _INDEX.md, and generates stack-appropriate subagents (architect, tester, security, frontend, api, etc.). - Use Case: You have an idea for a SaaS with a marketing site, webapp, and Nest.js API. Run the skill, answer the interview, confirm the blueprint, and get a monorepo with three linked MVP phase docs ready for /midnite-create. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the midnite-setup skill with your project name and a one-line description to bootstrap a new repository. Human confirmation is required at the blueprint stage before any files are written.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new monorepo project with an AI assistant?▼

Run the midnite-setup skill with a project name or description. It asks about repo shape, apps, and product context, confirms a blueprint with you, then scaffolds a moon + proto monorepo with README, conventions, and phase docs.

What stacks does the repo scaffolding support?▼

It maps apps to default stacks: Next.js for website, webapp, and docs; React Native (Expo) for mobile; Tauri or Electron for desktop; commander for CLIs; and Nest.js, FastAPI, .NET, or Go for APIs.

Does the setup skill write files without confirmation?▼

No. It never scaffolds anything until you answer the interview questions and explicitly confirm the blueprint summary at Stage 4. It also stops and confirms before writing into a non-empty target directory.

Can I use the scaffolded repo with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini?▼

Yes. The skill copies identical skill mirrors into .claude/skills, .agents/skills, and .codex/skills, and generates tailored CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and GEMINI.md convention files kept in sync per the template's sync rule.

What are the limitations of the generated scaffold?▼

The output is a seed, not a finished product: one MVP phase doc per app, empty done.md and outstanding.md skeletons, and convention stubs you fill in. It targets new repos only and never modifies the midnite-studio tree.
