SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new product toy in the Lia Tools line requires creating the right lifecycle folders, a README, a toys-table row, and index/log entries by hand, which is error-prone and inconsistent across toys. This Skill standardizes that scaffolding so every toy starts in the same shape and any agent can pick it up cold. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Convention-based scaffolding: Creates the toy folder under Products/Lia Tools/tools/ with only the numbered lifecycle folders it needs, plus an empty 00 handover/ and a meetings/ folder. - README and wiring: Generates a toy README (promise, box, status, Linear epic), adds a row to the line README's toys table, and offers to create the Linear epic per the ticket-builder convention. - Housekeeping enforcement: Updates _meta/index.md and appends a create entry to _meta/log.md, and blocks drift by keeping standards, research, and requirements out of tool folders. - Use Case: When Chris says "new toy: ripple", the Skill gathers the name, promise, box, and needed folders, scaffolds the directory, wires it into the line README and index, and offers to create the Linear epic. ## Quick Start Say "new toy: X" or "scaffold a folder for X" and provide the toy's one-line promise, what's in and out of the box, and which lifecycle folders it needs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new toy in the Lia Tools line?▼

Say "new toy: X" or "scaffold X" and provide the name, one-line promise, the box (in/out/non-negotiable), and which lifecycle folders it needs. The Skill creates the folder structure, README, toys-table row, and index entries.

Which folders does the new-toy scaffold create?▼

It always creates 00 handover/ (empty) and meetings/, plus only the numbered lifecycle folders the toy actually needs from 00 handover through 05 marketing. It does not create all seven by default.

Does the new-toy skill create a Linear epic automatically?▼

No, it offers to create the Linear epic in the Lia Tools project shaped per the ticket-builder convention, but only after the user confirms. An epic for an unratified toy is the owner's call.

What should never go inside a toy folder?▼

Standards (which belong to the line's standards/ folder), research (which goes to the line's research/ or the vault), and requirements (which live in Linear). Creating folders for these inside a tool is the drift toy-tidy reports.

Why does the scaffold not seed a retro-log file?▼

Retro-logs became archives as of LIAB-1162. The scaffold session's own After Action Report, filed per the wrap-up skill, is the folder's first file instead.
