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:
