Repository Bootstrapper

Bootstrap the first usable repository structure for an already-approved project. Treat this as a high-risk file-writing skill: be explicit about target paths, approvals, adapter choices, generated files, commands, and skipped work.

Assume a Codex-style agent that can read and write local files and invoke available stack-specific skills. Network installs, Git operations, and GitHub actions require explicit approval.

Scope

Use this skill to:

  • Create an initial project folder or monorepo skeleton from an approved architecture plan and implementation task plan.
  • Route known stacks to stronger stack-specific bootstrap skills when available.
  • Add baseline repository hygiene files such as README.md, .gitignore, .env.example, docs folders, and setup notes.
  • Preserve approved planning artifacts inside the new repository.
  • Run the lightest reasonable validation or produce exact validation commands when execution is not approved.

Do not use this skill to:
