SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trellis requires a one‑time setup to enable AI‑assisted development, and developers often lack a guided, repeatable process to install and configure it across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated environment checks for Node.js and npm.
  • CLI installation of the Trellis package.
  • Developer profiling to tag session history.
  • Project initialization that creates the required .trellis, .claude, and .cursor structures.
  • Verification steps to ensure the setup succeeded.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to bootstrap Trellis in your codebase by saying “Initialize Trellis for this project”.

Frequently Asked Questions about trellis-bootstrap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize an AI workflow system in an existing codebase?

You can bootstrap Trellis to initialize an AI workflow system, which automatically creates the required .trellis, .claude, and .cursor project structures for AI-assisted coding guidance and session memory.

What do I need to install before adding AI-assisted coding guidance to my project?

Before adding AI-assisted coding guidance, you need Node.js v18+, npm, and the global installation of the @mindfoldhq/trellis CLI. The bootstrap process includes automated environment checks for these dependencies.

How does developer profiling work when setting up session memory for AI coding?

Developer profiling tags session history during the project initialization process, ensuring that AI-assisted coding guidance and automation commands are contextually aware of the specific developer's workflow.

Can I use this AI workflow bootstrap process for a new project?

Yes, you can use this AI workflow bootstrap process for a new or existing codebase. It provides a guided, repeatable setup to install and configure the necessary AI automation commands and project structures.

What is the best way to verify if AI workflow initialization succeeded?

The best way to verify AI workflow initialization is through the built-in verification steps. The bootstrap process executes these checks automatically to ensure the environment, CLI installation, and project setup succeeded.
