SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrapping a new project is error-prone and time-consuming. This skill automates stack detection, scaffolds the docs directory, generates CLAUDE.md, and creates a starter roadmap to accelerate setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects the project's tech stack from root manifests and config files.
  • Scaffolds a standard docs directory (roadmap, specs, progress, architecture, etc.) with templates.
  • Generates CLAUDE.md with project conventions and development guidelines.
  • Produces a starter roadmap to outline initial work and priorities.

Quick Start

Run the six-step setup in order to bootstrap your project in one pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project setup and scaffolding docs for a new repository?▼

Automating project setup involves detecting the tech stack from root manifests, scaffolding a standard docs directory with templates, and generating a CLAUDE.md file to establish development conventions.

What is the best way to bootstrap a new software project with standard documentation?▼

The best way to bootstrap a new software project is using an automated pipeline that detects your tech stack, creates a docs directory with roadmap and architecture templates, and generates a starter roadmap.

Does the project bootstrap process overwrite existing files in my repository?▼

The project bootstrap process enforces idempotent behavior and avoids overwriting existing files, except when appropriate, ensuring your current repository content remains safe while aligning with standardized docs.

How does stack detection work when bootstrapping a project?▼

Stack detection works by reading root manifests and configuration files to automatically identify the technologies in use, which then informs the generation of tailored project conventions and development guidelines.

Can I use this project setup to align an existing codebase with standardized docs?▼

Yes, you can align an existing codebase by running the setup pipeline, which validates the root CLAUDE.md presence and scaffolds any missing roadmap, specs, progress, and architecture documentation without overwriting existing files.

What documents are generated during the project scaffolding process?▼

The project scaffolding process generates a standard docs directory containing templates for roadmaps, specifications, progress tracking, and architecture, alongside a root CLAUDE.md file with project conventions.
