SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the initial setup and configuration of new development projects, ensuring they are ready for tracking and management within the ShipFlow ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Initialization: Detects project stack, generates essential configuration files (CLAUDE.md, TASKS.md), and registers the project in a central registry (PROJECTS.md).
  • Automated Configuration: Sets up project context for AI assistants and configures local development tools like the codebase MCP server.
  • Use Case: When starting a new web application with a React frontend and a Node.js backend, this Skill will automatically detect the stack, create a CLAUDE.md to guide AI interactions, generate a TASKS.md with initial setup tasks, and add the project to your ShipFlow registry.

Quick Start

Use the shipflow-init skill to bootstrap a new project in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new software project and generate AI configuration files?

Bootstrap a new software project by running the initialization tool in your current directory, which detects the technology stack and generates essential AI configuration files like CLAUDE.md and TASKS.md automatically.

What is the best way to set up a central project registry for local development?

Set up a central project registry by initializing your project, which automatically registers the new software project in a central PROJECTS.md file to track it within the development ecosystem.

How do I configure the codebase MCP server for a new Node.js and React project?

Configure the codebase MCP server during project initialization, which detects the Node.js and React stack and sets up local development tools to integrate with AI-assisted workflows.

Does project initialization automatically detect the technology stack of my application?

Yes, project initialization automatically detects the technology stack of your application, using that information to generate relevant configuration files and register the project context.

Can I use this to set up project context for AI assistants like Claude?

Yes, you can use this setup to generate a CLAUDE.md file that establishes project context, guiding AI assistants to understand the stack and interact more effectively with your codebase.

Why does my new project need TASKS.md and CLAUDE.md files?

New projects need CLAUDE.md to provide AI assistants with project context and TASKS.md to outline initial setup tasks, ensuring automated tracking and streamlined AI-assisted development workflows.
