project-foundation

To generate foundational project documentation, this Skill creates README, .env.example, SECURITY.md, docs/INDEX.md, and ADR-000 files automatically. It ensures all artifacts reflect your project's stack and environments, establishing a stable entry point for new repositories or adapting existing legacy files.

The best way to set up a .env.example and ADR-000 is using an automated foundation protocol that generates these artifacts from scratch. This Skill handles the new-project workflow by creating consistent templates tailored to your specific technical stack and environment requirements.

Yes, you can use automated documentation generation for existing legacy codebases. The Skill applies a legacy-project workflow that adapts and updates your existing README, SECURITY.md, and docs/INDEX.md files rather than overwriting them, ensuring context-aware validation across phases.

Context-aware project foundation setup handles different tech stacks by analyzing your project's specific technologies and environments. It then generates or updates artifacts like README and .env.example to accurately reflect your stack, ensuring documentation matches your actual configuration.

No, you do not need any dependencies to automate README and SECURITY.md creation. The Skill operates independently with no required dependencies, allowing you to generate the five foundation artifacts immediately for both new and legacy project workflows.

Project foundation setup requires an ADR-000 file to establish a stable entry point by documenting initial architecture decisions. Generating ADR-000 alongside README and docs/INDEX.md ensures your repository has consistent, validated technical context from the beginning.
