SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating and configuring a new Rails 8+ project with a consistent baseline (default stack, living documentation, and development environment) to reduce setup time and ensure AI agents start with solid context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-command bootstrap: scaffolds a Rails project with the default stack and documentation.
  • Living documentation: creates AGENTS.md, SCHEMA.md, and BUSINESS_RULES.md as the project grows.
  • Development environment: wires bin/setup, bin/dev, and ensures a clean initial git history.
  • Onboarding AI agents: provides a consistent context from day one to speed up integration.

Quick Start

Run rails new myapp and let the bootstrap set up the default stack and living docs.
