SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of inconsistent, unorganized, or missing research codebases by automating the bootstrap, rebrand, and architectural specification process for AI research projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Bootstrapping: Searches for, scores, and clones reference implementations from GitHub based on research plan requirements.
  • Conservative Rebranding: Safely renames packages and metadata while preserving runtime-critical strings and provenance.
  • Architectural Specification: Generates an authoritative codearc.md spec and migration plan to ensure consistent code placement and organization.

Quick Start

Run the star-code-architect skill with a GitHub URL or a plan name to bootstrap your project codebase and establish its architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a research codebase from a GitHub repository?

Bootstrapping a research codebase involves searching, scoring, and cloning reference implementations from GitHub to establish a target architecture. This skill automates that process to create consistent directory layouts for AI research projects.

What is the safest way to rebrand packages in a cloned research codebase?

Conservative rebranding safely renames packages and metadata while preserving runtime-critical strings and provenance. This ensures the research codebase remains functional and its origins are tracked after migration.

How do I generate architectural documentation for an AI research project?

Generating architectural documentation involves creating an authoritative codearc.md spec and migration plan. This ensures consistent code placement and organization across the entire research codebase.

Does bootstrapping a research codebase require an existing GitHub URL?

Bootstrapping does not strictly require an existing GitHub URL. You can run the skill with just a plan name to survey existing code and establish a target architecture for your AI research project.

Why does my research codebase need provenance tracking?

Provenance tracking is needed to maintain the origin and history of reference implementations during automated bootstrapping and conservative rebranding. It ensures your AI research project retains authoritative links to its source code.

What are the limitations of automated codebase scaffolding for research projects?

Automated codebase scaffolding is limited to establishing directory layouts and architectural specs for AI research projects. It focuses on structural organization and does not execute or debug the research code itself.
