What problem does it solve? Starting a new project involves scattered decisions about repositories, stacks, trackers, and agent tooling, and it is easy to scaffold files before the owner has confirmed what should exist. This Skill guides the path from an unshaped idea to a portable project with a self-contained agent harness, keeping every phase read-only until the owner confirms each durable artifact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phased project design: Shape (classify the idea and resolve decisions), Seed (create the Git repository with only confirmed facts), Assemble (build the harness from a confirmed manifest), and Finish (verify stored, wired, healthy, advertised, and invoked layers). - Harness assembly: Selects the smallest coherent public capability such as project-foundation or mattpocock-suite, runs the harness CLI init command, locks project-only skill packages, and inventories integrations in .harness/integrations.json without copying credentials into Git. - Use Case: A user has a rough idea for a content research project. The Skill classifies the domain, recommends creating a seed repository, then assembles a project-foundation harness and verifies it with harness health and a fresh-session discovery check. ## Quick Start Use the start-project skill to shape my project idea and initialize the right agent harness once I confirm the plan.
