SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new project or improving an existing one often means manually wiring up linters, test frameworks, Git hooks, documentation, and CI pipelines, which is repetitive and easy to get wrong. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project Scaffolding: Creates standard directory structures, .gitignore, .gitattributes, and editor configs for Node.js, Python, Go, and Rust projects. - Quality Tooling Setup: Configures linters and formatters (Ruff, ESLint, Prettier, Biome), pre-commit hooks (pre-commit, husky), and type checking. - CI/CD & Documentation: Generates GitHub Actions workflows, README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, and license files. - Use Case: Ask it to bootstrap a new Python CLI tool and it sets up uv, pyproject.toml, Ruff, pytest structure, and a ci.yml workflow in one pass. ## Quick Start Bootstrap a new TypeScript web app project with testing, linting, Git hooks, and GitHub Actions CI configured.

Frequently Asked Questions about project_bootstrapper

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new project with best practices?▼

Run the bootstrapper and answer its discovery questions about project type, language, and collaboration model. It then creates directory structure, Git config, documentation, testing setup, linters, and CI workflows one area at a time.

What tools does it use for Python project setup?▼

It uses uv as the package manager with pyproject.toml as the single configuration file, Ruff for linting and formatting, and the pre-commit framework for Git hooks. GitHub Actions workflows handle testing and PyPI publishing.

Can it improve an existing project instead of creating a new one?▼

Yes, it supports partial setup and improvement passes on existing projects. It analyzes the current structure first, proposes a plan for approval, then implements specific areas such as adding only testing or only CI configuration.

Does it support monorepo project setup?▼

Yes, for projects with multiple packages it installs Turborepo or Nx. For JavaScript it prefers pnpm or bun as the package manager, and it configures shared linting and CI across the workspace.

What CI/CD configuration does the bootstrapper create?▼

It generates GitHub Actions or GitLab CI configs including a ci.yml for test and lint checks and a release.yml for NPM or PyPI publishing. It also adds status badges, branch protection patterns, and release automation.
