SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trellis Bootstrap provides a one-time setup process to bootstrap the Trellis AI workflow system in a new project, ensuring a persistent memory of context and standardized guidelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-time setup: Creates the necessary Trellis structure and initializes the AI workflow for the project.
  • Guided onboarding: Walks users through prerequisites (Node.js, Trellis CLI) and initialization steps.
  • Project-wide automation: Enables auto-injection of guidelines and memory across sessions after setup.
  • Use Case: You are starting a new project and want to integrate Trellis so your AI assistant remembers guidelines and automates repetitive tasks.

Quick Start

Open your terminal and follow these steps:

  • Ensure Node.js v18+ is installed.
  • Install Trellis CLI globally: npm install -g @mindfoldhq/trellis@latest
  • Initialize in the project: trellis init -u <your-name>

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize persistent AI context memory for a new development project?

To initialize persistent AI context memory, you run a one-time bootstrap process using the Trellis CLI. This setup creates the necessary project structure to enable automated development guidance and context retention across sessions.

What is the best way to set up an AI workflow system that remembers project guidelines across sessions?

The best way to set up an AI workflow system with persistent memory is through a guided onboarding process. It initializes project-wide automation, ensuring your AI assistant remembers standardized guidelines and automates repetitive tasks.

Do I need Node.js installed to bootstrap AI workflow initialization for my project?

Yes, you need Node.js v18 or higher installed to bootstrap AI workflow initialization. The setup process requires Node.js to install the Trellis CLI globally before initializing the project structure.

How do I install and verify the Trellis CLI for AI-driven project onboarding?

To install and verify the Trellis CLI, run npm install -g @mindfoldhq/trellis@latest in your terminal. After installation, execute trellis init -u <your-name> in your project directory to finalize the verification sequence.

Can I automate repetitive development tasks using a persistent context setup?

Yes, you can automate repetitive development tasks using a persistent context setup. After the one-time initialization, the system enables auto-injection of guidelines and memory across all future sessions.

Why does my AI assistant keep losing project context between coding sessions?

Your AI assistant loses project context because it lacks a persistent memory structure. Running a one-time Trellis bootstrap initializes the necessary workflow system to retain guidelines and context across sessions.
