System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It prevents repositories from missing critical settings-as-code governance by safely bootstrapping .github/settings.yml and related policy files with minimal, non-speculative changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Settings-as-code scaffolding: Creates .github/settings.yml when missing, with conservative defaults aligned to repo evidence or an accompanying plan.
  • Companion governance when warranted: Optionally generates .github/CODEOWNERS and default-branch protection only when justified by context.
  • Inspection-first, minimal-risk policy: Supports both existing repo auditing and new repo creation scenarios while preserving explicit, authoritative settings and avoiding risky admin actions.

Quick Start

Use the repo-settings-bootstrap skill to bootstrap .github/settings.yml (and CODEOWNERS or branch protection only if clearly warranted) for a repository created from a project plan.
