SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Repositories often lack the structure AI coding agents need to work effectively — no AGENTS.md, no ADRs, no CI, no context index. Manually auditing and creating these files is tedious and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 18-Item Compliance Scan: Runs a CLI to detect and score a repo against an AI-native template, surfacing exposed secrets with a warning. - Situational Interview: Asks only what cannot be inferred (agent tools, CI host, pre-push hooks, context index mode, integrations), defaulting every branch to the lowest-dependency option. - Non-Destructive Apply: Creates only missing files, wires git hooks for real, and re-scores the repo against the chosen profile. - Use Case: Point it at a legacy monorepo; it detects stacks and submodules, scaffolds AGENTS.md plus per-submodule CLAUDE.md files, wires a raw pre-push hook, and reports the new compliance score. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /codepresso:aidlc-init on your repository path to analyze, scaffold, and re-score its AI-native structure.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make my repository AI-agent friendly?▼

Run the aidlc-init skill on your repo path. It scans against an 18-item AI-native template, interviews you about tools and CI, then creates only the missing files like AGENTS.md, ADRs, and CI configs without overwriting anything.

How to scaffold AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md for an existing repo?▼

The skill authors AGENTS.md with real build, test, and run commands detected from your stack, plus a thin CLAUDE.md pointer. It also generates pointer files for selected tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Gemini.

Does aidlc-init overwrite existing files?▼

No, it is strictly non-destructive. Every file is existence-checked before creation, and only missing items are scaffolded. A preview of the planned file tree requires explicit confirmation before anything is written.

Does it work with monorepos and submodules?▼

Yes. When the structure is detected as a monorepo, it authors stack-specific CLAUDE.md files per submodule and tailors the scaffold to each subproject rather than applying a single root-level template.

What dependencies does the scaffolding add to my repo?▼

None by default. Every branch defaults to the lowest-dependency option, such as a raw git hook instead of husky and a bundled zero-dependency context scanner. Adding any external dependency is an explicit opt-in during the interview.
