SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Starting a new project involves repetitive setup work: initializing git, clarifying requirements, creating documentation structure, and coordinating planning and implementation. This Skill automates that entire bootstrap flow so a new repo gets a consistent SDLC foundation without manual scaffolding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided project initialization: Initializes git, clarifies requirements through structured questioning, and creates the standard docs skeleton (codebase summary, code standards, architecture, roadmap, glossary). - Multiple execution modes: Choose --full for interactive gates, --fast for quick runs, --auto for autonomous operation, or --parallel for multi-agent research, design, and parallel implementation. - Delegated implementation: Does not write code directly; hands off to hs:plan for planning and hs:cook for implementation, then produces a completion report and session journal. - Use Case: You have an idea for a new web app and an empty directory. Run the bootstrap skill to clarify requirements, set up git and docs, generate a plan, and get a working first implementation with an onboarding guide. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to bootstrap a new project in the current directory using the hs:bootstrap skill with your requirements description.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new project from scratch with an AI agent?▼

Run the bootstrap skill with your requirements description. It initializes git, asks clarifying questions about objectives and constraints, creates the docs skeleton, then delegates to planning and implementation skills to produce working code.

What is the difference between --full, --fast, --auto, and --parallel modes?▼

--full is fully interactive with gates after each phase, --fast skips long clarification, --auto runs autonomously with only a final gate, and --parallel adds multi-agent research, design, and parallel implementation with exclusive file ownership per phase.

Does the bootstrap skill write code directly?▼

No. It never writes implementation code itself. All coding is delegated to the hs:plan skill for planning and the hs:cook skill for implementation, keeping bootstrap focused on setup and orchestration.

What documentation files does project bootstrap create?▼

It creates docs/codebase-summary.md, docs/code-standards.md, docs/system-architecture.md, docs/project-roadmap.md, and a glossary registry (docs/glossary.yaml with a generated GLOSSARY.md view). Existing files are never overwritten.

When should I not use the --auto mode?▼

Use --auto only when you explicitly want autonomous operation, since it skips clarification and approval gates. For unfamiliar domains or unclear requirements, --full or --fast gives you control over key decisions.
