Northstar Setup

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• set this repo or project up under Northstar
• scaffold or normalize a repo around Northstar docs and working conventions
• “use Northstar and Effigy”
• create the docs skeleton, changelog, release posture, and repo QA loop
• set up a stricter Northstar repo with stronger delivery guardrails
• normalize a repo onto the Northstar automation stack

Refactoring posture (read first)

This applies whenever setup or normalization touches code, scripts, APIs, or automation—not only the docs tree.
