SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a fresh polyglot monorepo (or a new component within an existing one) by distilling an opinionated spec library into a tailored AGENTS.md (and a CLAUDE.md pointer) and by laying down an empty folder skeleton, so teams can start from a guided, governance-ready baseline without manually stitching specs into memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads the specs/ directory and writes a concise AGENTS.md at the project root that captures the project’s orientation, roles, and pipelines without copying full specs.
  • Writes a single CLAUDE.md pointer so Claude Code auto-loads the new memory state.
  • Generates a minimal skeleton: README, .gitignore, .env.example, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and an empty root structure for a quick start.
  • Supports both monorepo bootstraps and new-component scaffolds, enabling a quick hand-off to the /day workflow for code generation.

Quick Start

Bootstrap a new monorepo with /scaffold by answering the prompts, then run /day to start implementing against the generated AGENTS.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a polyglot monorepo with an AGENTS.md file?

Bootstrap a polyglot monorepo by interactively gathering requirements, distilling an opinionated specs library into a tailored AGENTS.md, and writing a CLAUDE.md pointer along with a minimal folder skeleton at the project root.

What is the best way to generate a CLAUDE.md pointer for a new component scaffold?

Generating a CLAUDE.md pointer for a new component scaffold involves interactively selecting relevant specs and writing a concise memory artifact at the project root so Claude Code auto-loads the new memory state.

Does this scaffolding process create application source code for my monorepo?

No, this scaffolding process does not create application source code; it only generates a minimal skeleton with README, .gitignore, .env.example, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md files ready for subsequent code generation.

How do I start coding after bootstrapping a monorepo with an empty folder skeleton?

Start coding after bootstrapping a monorepo by running the /day workflow, which produces concrete application source code against the generated AGENTS.md memory state.

Can I use this scaffolding approach for both monorepo bootstraps and new components?

Yes, you can use this scaffolding approach for both polyglot monorepo bootstraps and new-component scaffolds within an existing repository, enabling a quick hand-off to the code generation workflow.

Why does my AGENTS.md not contain the full specs from the specs directory?

Your AGENTS.md does not contain full specs because the scaffolding process distills the specs directory into a concise memory artifact that captures project orientation, roles, and pipelines without copying the entire specification text.
