What is the best way to bootstrap repo governance docs in one pass?▼

Bootstrapping repo governance docs in one pass involves inspecting the repository to automatically generate cross-tool contract files like AGENTS.md, TASKS.md, GOTCHAS.md, and .claude/project.json at the repo root.

Do I need any dependencies to create a discovery report for my codebase?▼

No dependencies are required to create a discovery report for your codebase; you drop the toolkit skills into the repo and run the onboarding command to generate artifacts and detect repo characteristics.

How does generating GOTCHAS.md help align agents and tooling?▼

Generating GOTCHAS.md aligns agents and tooling by producing essential onboarding artifacts at the repo root, establishing a ready-to-use baseline contract that replaces separate onboarding steps.

Can I use this onboarding process for the /discovery or /codelearn commands?▼

Yes, you can use this onboarding process for the /discovery, /codelearn, /init-toolkit, and /onboard commands, as it generates the required contract files these workflows rely on.

When do I need to generate cross-tool contract files for a new repository?▼

You need to generate cross-tool contract files when onboarding a new repository to the workflow toolkit, ensuring agents and tooling have a ready-to-use baseline of governance docs.
