Project Setup Workflow

To bootstrap a Mycelium project, run the interactive setup at the project root. It detects the project state, creates the .workflow directory structure with context files, and initializes a mandatory Git repository with a tailored .gitignore.

For existing codebases, the setup detects the brownfield state and bootstraps the appropriate .workflow structure. It generates context files like product.md, tech-stack.md, and workflow.md while applying a .gitignore tailored to the detected tech stack.

Yes, the Mycelium project setup supports resumable progress by saving its state after each interaction. You can safely resume the workflow scaffolding and mandatory Git initialization without losing prior configuration steps.

No, a pre-existing Git repository is not required because the setup enforces a mandatory Git initialization during the process. It automatically initializes the repository and applies the necessary .gitignore for your detected tech stack.

The .workflow directory provides a standardized workspace by storing context files such as product.md, tech-stack.md, and workflow.md. This removes guesswork and ensures consistent project orchestration across greenfield and brownfield scenarios.

Greenfield bootstrapping initializes a completely new Mycelium project structure, while brownfield bootstrapping detects an existing project state and applies the .workflow scaffolding and Git setup without disrupting the current codebase.
