SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a personal business knowledge system from scratch means creating folder structures, writing context pages, and researching your sector before an AI assistant can be useful. This Skill automates that entire bootstrap: it installs the vault from a bundled template, interviews you about your business, and populates the system with real content in one session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Offline vault bootstrap: Copies the template bundled inside the plugin to your chosen path, substitutes placeholders, creates the full folder skeleton, and writes a config file with baseline file SHAs for future updates. No network or GitHub access required. - Guided brain-dump onboarding: Elicits your context across seven categories (you, sector, offer, differentiation, voice, priorities, stack) via two rich forms with a plain-question fallback, plus an optional context drop for files, links, and folders. - Live sector research: Researches your stated sector with web search and writes 3-5 cited reference pages (landscape overview, frameworks, portals) into your vault's Intelligence folder. - Scheduling offers: Optionally schedules recurring update, sector-scan, daily-brief, and curator tasks via cron. - Use Case: A consultant says "set up Footing", answers two short forms about their practice, and receives a populated Obsidian vault with their brand voice, strategy, and sector regulation pages already written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /footing-setup and follow the guided onboarding forms to install and personalize your vault.

Frequently Asked Questions about footing-setup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I install Footing and set up a new vault?▼

Run /footing-setup or ask to "set up Footing". The skill copies the bundled template to your chosen path (default ~/Obsidian/Footing/), creates the folder skeleton, then guides you through two onboarding forms before populating your vault pages.

Does Footing setup require internet access or a GitHub account?▼

No. Installation uses the template bundled inside the plugin, so no network, terminal, or GitHub API is needed. The only live network step is the optional sector research phase, which uses web search to write reference pages.

What happens if I run footing-setup on an existing vault?▼

The skill detects an existing CLAUDE.md and offers three choices: refresh your context (reads current vault state and updates only what changed), full reset (with double confirmation), or cancel. It never re-asks questions the vault already answers.

Can I skip the onboarding questions during setup?▼

Yes. Reply "skip all" at any point to proceed with defaults, or leave individual categories blank. Note that skipping the sector question also skips the live sector-research phase, since there is no safe default sector to research.

What does the sector research phase produce?▼

It writes 3 to 5 cited reference pages into Intelligence/sector-landscape/ based on your stated sector: one landscape overview, plus framework, portal, or programme pages where genuinely relevant. Pages are built from public web sources and are never written back to any public repo.

Can Footing schedule automatic updates after installation?▼

Yes. At the end of setup you can schedule /footing-update weekly or monthly, a monthly /sector-scan refresh, a weekday /daily-brief, and a monthly /curator sweep. Each is created as a cron-based scheduled task, or you can run them manually.
