What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of broken workspaces, missing planning artifacts, and avoidable build errors that occur when builders skip critical steps or use non-standard setups when starting a new Gear/Vara Sails application.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Greenfield Workflow: Provides a step-by-step sequence for new Sails/Vara projects, from environment validation to pre-implementation checks.
- Workspace Integrity Guardrails: Enforces the standard
cargo sails new template structure and generated client pipeline to prevent common Cargo feature unification and build errors.
- Planning Artifact Enforcement: Requires creation of spec and architecture documentation before implementation to align stakeholders and reduce rework.
Use Case: A builder starting a new Vara Sails service can use this Skill to avoid hand-assembled workspaces that break due to conflicting
gstd and gtest feature flags, and ensure all required planning docs are created before writing any code.
Quick Start
Use the sails-new-app skill to bootstrap a new standard Gear/Vara Sails app following the correct greenfield setup and planning sequence.
