SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a Memory Bank skeleton and routing workflow for a new or existing repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates the Memory Bank skeleton, writes agent entry points, and routes the repo into the correct workflow.
  • Supports greenfield PRD-driven bootstrap or brownfield codebase mapping with as-is documentation.
  • Enables modular usage with mb-init, mb-from-prd, mb-map-codebase for flexible flows.

Quick Start

Run the cold-start skill to bootstrap a Memory Bank skeleton in your repository and route into the appropriate greenfield or brownfield flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about cold-start

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a memory bank skeleton for a new repository?▼

Bootstrap a memory bank skeleton by running the cold-start skill, which creates the directory structure and routes the repo into the correct workflow. It generates outputs in .memory-bank/, .tasks/, and .protocols/.

Can I map existing codebases into a memory bank workflow?▼

Yes, you can map existing codebases using the brownfield flow. This generates as-is documentation of the current codebase and routes the repository into the appropriate memory bank workflow.

What is the best way to start a greenfield project from a PRD?▼

Start a greenfield project from a PRD using the mb-from-prd flow. This PRD-driven bootstrap creates the memory bank skeleton and routes the repository into the greenfield workflow.

Does the memory bank bootstrap support modular usage?▼

Yes, the memory bank bootstrap supports modular usage through mb-init, mb-from-prd, and mb-map-codebase. These flexible flows allow you to initialize, generate from a PRD, or map an existing codebase.

What directories are created when bootstrapping a memory bank?▼

Bootstrapping a memory bank creates the .memory-bank/, .tasks/, and .protocols/ directories. It writes agent entry points into these directories and routes the repository into the correct workflow.

When should I use greenfield versus brownfield flows for memory bank setup?▼

Use the greenfield flow to bootstrap from a PRD for new repositories, and use the brownfield flow to map existing codebases with as-is documentation. The cold-start skill routes the repo into the correct workflow.
