SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initializes the Silver Bullet workflow scaffolding for a Forge project, ensuring the global skill and agent set is installed and bootstrapping project-level files (AGENTS.md, .planning, .forge/skills, and .forge/agents) to enable SB-driven workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects missing planning artifacts and creates the initial project scaffolding.
  • Generates AGENTS.md, .planning/, .forge/skills/, and .forge/agents/ skeletons for governance and execution.
  • Verifies the global Silver Bullet assets are present and provides install or re-run guidance if necessary.
  • Creates an initial PROJECT.md skeleton when starting a new project.

Quick Start

Run silver:init in the project root to bootstrap SB scaffolding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize Silver Bullet workflow scaffolding for a new Forge project?

To initialize Silver Bullet workflow scaffolding, run silver:init in the project root to validate global SB assets, detect the project stack, and generate AGENTS.md, .planning/, .forge/skills/, and .forge/agents/ directories.

What planning artifacts are created when bootstrapping a Forge project?

Bootstrapping a Forge project creates AGENTS.md, a .planning/ directory, .forge/skills/, and .forge/agents/ skeletons for governance and execution, alongside an initial PROJECT.md skeleton tailored to the detected project stack.

Do I need global Silver Bullet assets installed before setting up Forge project scaffolding?

Yes, setting up Forge project scaffolding requires a global Silver Bullet skill and agent set to be installed. The initialization validates these global SB assets and provides install or re-run guidance if they are missing.

When should I use project scaffolding initialization for my workflow?

Use project scaffolding initialization when your project lacks planning artifacts and you want to start Silver Bullet workflows. It generates the necessary directory structures and governance files to enable SB-driven execution.

Why does Forge project initialization fail to generate the PROJECT.md skeleton?

Forge project initialization fails if the global Silver Bullet skill and agent set is not installed. The process must validate global SB assets before bootstrapping project-level files and generating the PROJECT.md skeleton.
