What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap Trellis spec guidelines directly from the real codebase, enabling consistent, up-to-date guidance that reflects the current project structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates discovery and documentation of repository architecture and spec boundaries.
  • Produces concrete, project-specific .trellis/spec/ files from actual code and tests.
  • Use Case: When starting a Trellis-driven spec for a new repo or refreshing outdated docs to reflect the latest code changes.

Quick Start

Run the Trellis spec bootstrap agent against the repository to generate or refresh the .trellis/spec/ guidelines.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Trellis spec guidelines from an existing codebase?

To generate Trellis spec guidelines from a codebase, run an automated bootstrap agent that reads actual source code and tests to populate .trellis/spec/ files. This ensures your documentation reflects the current project architecture and boundaries.

What is the best way to keep .trellis/spec documentation up to date with code changes?

Keeping .trellis/spec documentation up to date requires refreshing the spec guidelines directly from the latest code changes. Automating this extraction ensures your repository architecture and spec boundaries remain consistent and source-backed.

Can I use codebase analysis to bootstrap Trellis specs across multiple packages and layers?

Yes, codebase analysis can bootstrap Trellis specs across multiple packages and layers. The process automates discovery of repository architecture to produce concrete, project-specific .trellis/spec/ files from actual code and tests.

Do I need direct source reads to create concrete Trellis specs?

Direct source reads are used alongside GitNexus and ABCoder to produce concrete, source-backed Trellis specs. This combination ensures the generated .trellis/spec/ guidelines are accurately derived from the actual codebase structure.

When should I refresh outdated Trellis-driven spec documentation?

You should refresh outdated Trellis-driven spec documentation when the existing .trellis/spec files no longer reflect the latest code changes. Running the bootstrap agent against the repository updates the guidelines to match the current architecture.
