SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a fresh polyglot monorepo (or a new component within an existing one) by distilling an opinionated spec library into a tailored AGENTS.md (and a CLAUDE.md pointer) and by laying down an empty folder skeleton, so teams can start from a guided, governance-ready baseline without manually stitching specs into memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads the specs/ directory and writes a concise AGENTS.md at the project root that captures the project’s orientation, roles, and pipelines without copying full specs.
  • Writes a single CLAUDE.md pointer so Claude Code auto-loads the new memory state.
  • Generates a minimal skeleton: README, .gitignore, .env.example, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and an empty root structure for a quick start.
  • Supports both monorepo bootstraps and new-component scaffolds, enabling a quick hand-off to the /day workflow for code generation.

Quick Start

Bootstrap a new monorepo with /scaffold by answering the prompts, then run /day to start implementing against the generated AGENTS.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a polyglot monorepo with an AGENTS.md file?▼

Bootstrap a polyglot monorepo by interactively gathering requirements, distilling an opinionated specs library into a tailored AGENTS.md, and writing a CLAUDE.md pointer along with a minimal folder skeleton at the project root.

What is the best way to generate a CLAUDE.md pointer for a new component scaffold?▼

Generating a CLAUDE.md pointer for a new component scaffold involves interactively selecting relevant specs and writing a concise memory artifact at the project root so Claude Code auto-loads the new memory state.

Does this scaffolding process create application source code for my monorepo?▼

No, this scaffolding process does not create application source code; it only generates a minimal skeleton with README, .gitignore, .env.example, AGENTS.md, and CLAUDE.md files ready for subsequent code generation.

How do I start coding after bootstrapping a monorepo with an empty folder skeleton?▼

Start coding after bootstrapping a monorepo by running the /day workflow, which produces concrete application source code against the generated AGENTS.md memory state.

Can I use this scaffolding approach for both monorepo bootstraps and new components?▼

Yes, you can use this scaffolding approach for both polyglot monorepo bootstraps and new-component scaffolds within an existing repository, enabling a quick hand-off to the code generation workflow.

Why does my AGENTS.md not contain the full specs from the specs directory?▼

Your AGENTS.md does not contain full specs because the scaffolding process distills the specs directory into a concise memory artifact that captures project orientation, roles, and pipelines without copying the entire specification text.
