What is a startup tracker and how does it manage project decisions?

A startup tracker is a persistent record that preserves project decisions, blockers, and progress across sessions, ensuring continuous alignment during project bootstrap and infrastructure setup.

How do I generate VBW roadmaps and strategy docs for a new project?

You generate VBW roadmaps and strategy docs by chaining pre-pipeline skills and seeding method.config updates, which aligns the project infrastructure and governance artifacts for first-phase readiness.

Can I use project bootstrap for existing brownfield applications?
