Walking Skeleton

Build a walking skeleton (Cockburn) — the thinnest possible runnable system that proves the entire pipeline works: build, test, run.

Input

The project description and tech stack: $ARGUMENTS

Precondition: a concept capsule must exist. If none exists, stop and recommend /pragma:capsule first. Use glossary terms even for the "hello world" path.

What a skeleton IS and IS NOT

IS: project builds, test runner runs with ≥1 passing test, one minimal path executes end-to-end, happy-path scenario from capsule has a placeholder.

IS NOT: a feature (no business logic), an architecture (no layers/patterns beyond what the single path requires), comprehensive (one path, one test, one entry point).

Procedure

1. Project scaffold
