SKILL.md

Structured interview → convention inheritance → scaffold → foundation docs. Handles standalone projects, monorepo apps/packages, and modules in existing codebases. Standalone skill. After scaffolding, enter the feature pipeline with /scope.

Starting — Context Detection

Before asking anything, inspect the working directory. Classify:

Context Detection Behavior
A. Empty dir No files or only .git/README/LICENSE New standalone project
B. Monorepo root turbo.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, nx.json, or root workspaces Add app/package/service. Run Convention Inheritance.
C. Inside monorepo Ancestor has monorepo markers, cwd in apps//packages/ Scaffold at this location. Run Convention Inheritance.
D. Existing project Framework config, deps, source, no monorepo markers Warn. Suggest /scope or offer to add module/service.
E. Near-empty .git + README only Same as A, note existing files

Contexts B/C/D: run Convention Inheritance next. A/E: skip to Interview.

Convention Inheritance

For contexts B/C/D only. Read repo conventions — files list and inheritance mapping in references/convention-inheritance.md.
