SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? New or partially configured repositories often lack CI pipelines, README files, CODEOWNERS, SECURITY.md, and other hygiene files, and manually adding them risks overwriting existing maintainer customizations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Idempotent repo bootstrapping: Copies a full template set (.gitignore, .editorconfig, .env.example, GitHub Actions CI/CodeQL workflows, Dependabot config, CODEOWNERS, issue/PR templates, README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY.md, CHANGELOG.md, library/ docs schema) without ever clobbering existing files. - Placeholder resolution: Fills template tokens from observable repo context such as package.json, git remote, lockfiles, and existing LICENSE files. - Verification reporting: Produces a three-part report covering files already present, files created, and items needing human decisions like branch protection, secret scanning, and license choice. - Use Case: Point it at a freshly created Node/TypeScript repository and receive a working CI pipeline, community health files, and a documentation library, plus a checklist of GitHub Settings actions only an admin can complete. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize this repository to a healthy baseline with CI, README, and community health files using the get-started-stinger skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about get-started-stinger

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up GitHub Actions CI for a new repository?▼

Copy a starter workflow that runs lint, typecheck, and test as separate jobs on push and pull request with least-privilege permissions. Pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs and resolve install and test commands from the repo's package.json scripts.

What files does a healthy GitHub repository need?▼

GitHub's community profile checks for README, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY.md, issue templates, and a pull request template. You can verify coverage mechanically with gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/community/profile, which returns a health percentage.

Dependabot vs Renovate for dependency updates?▼

Dependabot is the zero-setup default: a single .github/dependabot.yml file enables it with no external app, covering about 30 ecosystems. Renovate suits monorepos, multi-platform setups, or teams needing granular grouping and built-in automerge across 90+ package managers.

Will running this overwrite my existing .gitignore or README?▼

No. The skill follows a strict idempotency rule: existing files that differ from the templates are left untouched and reported as differing, with a short summary of what changed. Only missing files are created, so re-running it is safe.

Can this skill enable branch protection or secret scanning automatically?▼

No. Branch protection, rulesets, push protection, and CodeQL default setup are GitHub Settings actions requiring admin access, which a file-copy skill cannot perform. These are surfaced as explicit human-decision items in the final verification report.

When should I not use a repo initialization skill?▼

Avoid it for deep CI/CD architecture like matrix builds or deployment pipelines, full README authorship for mature projects, and license selection. Those belong to dedicated CI, documentation, and legal decision workflows respectively.
