FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a project foundation for the SDLC pipeline?

A guided bootstrap process interactively gathers project details and generates mandatory configuration files like `.chama.yml` and `CLAUDE.md` to establish a complete project foundation for the Chama SDLC pipeline.

What artifacts are generated during project setup?

Project setup generates structured artifacts including `.chama.yml`, `CLAUDE.md`, and `docs/PROJECT_BRIEF.md` by synthesizing 11 mandatory fields captured through guided discovery.

Do I need git and yaml installed to run project configuration management?

Yes, project configuration management requires git, yaml, and markdown dependencies to properly generate artifacts and handle version control during the bootstrap process.

Can I update existing project artifacts without losing my work?

Yes, you can update existing artifacts using merge mode, which detects current configurations and preserves your work while enabling incremental updates to the project foundation.

What's the best way to set up configuration management for a new software project?

The best way to set up configuration management is using template-based generation that adaptively discovers project requirements and synthesizes them into 11 mandatory fields for comprehensive artifact creation.

Why does project setup require interactive input during bootstrap?

Interactive input is required during bootstrap to perform adaptive discovery, answering questions that guide the structured synthesis of 11 mandatory fields needed for comprehensive project configuration.
