SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? A freshly created CoreEx repository (after running dotnet new coreex-ai) contains only AI workflow assets and no root guidance files, leaving developers unsure how to proceed. This Skill bootstraps the repository by generating README.md, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md, then hands off to solution scaffolding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Root Guidance Generation: Creates README.md, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md templates with the confirmed project name substituted in. - Project Name Confirmation: Reads the workspace folder name and validates it against the [Company].[Product].[Domain] naming convention, prompting the user when needed. - Automatic Chaining: Immediately invokes /coreex-scaffold to interview the solution shape and run the right dotnet new coreex* commands. - Use Case: You just ran dotnet new coreex-ai in a new empty repository for Avanade.Bookstore.Books. Invoke this Skill to generate the guidance files and flow directly into scaffolding the API host, data layer, and eventing setup. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the coreex-bootstrap workflow to initialize this blank CoreEx repository with guidance files and then scaffold the solution.

Frequently Asked Questions about coreex-bootstrap

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new CoreEx repository from scratch?▼

Run `dotnet new coreex-ai` first to install the AI workflow assets, then invoke the coreex-bootstrap skill. It generates README.md, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md, then chains to coreex-scaffold to shape the solution.

What files does CoreEx bootstrap generate?▼

It generates three root guidance files: README.md describing the repository and next steps, AGENTS.md explaining the bootstrap state, and CLAUDE.md referencing the CoreEx instruction files and slash commands.

When should I not use coreex-bootstrap?▼

Do not use it on existing solutions, partial retrofits, or repositories that already contain src/, tests/, tools/, or a README.md. In those cases use coreex-scaffold directly, or coreex-expert for architecture guidance.

What project name format does CoreEx require?▼

CoreEx expects a three-part name in [Company].[Product].[Domain] form, such as Avanade.Bookstore.Books. The skill reads the workspace folder name as the default and asks for confirmation if it does not match this pattern.

Do I need to run dotnet new coreex-ai before bootstrapping?▼

Yes. The bootstrap skill assumes the .github/ and .claude/ AI workflow assets already exist, which are installed by `dotnet new coreex-ai`. Run that template first before invoking the skill.
