SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps bootstrap a clean repository for Kilroy Attractor projects by wiring standard artifacts and ensuring run configurations are in place, without performing any artifact creation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wires canonical artifacts (spec, DoD, graph, run config) into a new repo to enable a ready-to-run Attractor workflow.
  • Creates and configures the base repository state (git initialization, directory setup, and mount paths) to ensure deterministic starts.
  • Verifies required artifacts exist and documents the steps to integrate with Kilroy's Attractor pipeline.

Quick Start

Create a clean repository, initialize git, and wire canonical spec, DoD, graph, and run config artifacts for Kilroy Attractor validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a repository for a new project?▼

Bootstrapping a repository involves initializing git in a clean directory and wiring canonical artifacts to ensure deterministic setup. This process creates a base commit and verifies required artifacts before execution.

What does deterministic repo setup mean for project initialization?▼

Deterministic repo setup means enforcing consistent spec, DoD, graph, and run config wiring during project initialization. This ensures controlled environments have a predictable base commit and validated artifacts before any pipeline execution.

How do I wire spec and run config artifacts into a new project?▼

Wiring spec and run config artifacts into a new project requires applying deterministic setup rules that connect these canonical files. The process verifies their existence and documents integration steps without performing any artifact creation.

Do I need an existing git repository before wiring project artifacts?▼

You do not need an existing git repository before wiring artifacts. The setup process handles git initialization and directory creation in a clean directory to establish a base repository state and configure mount paths.

Does project bootstrapping create the spec and graph files automatically?▼

Project bootstrapping does not create the spec and graph files automatically. It wires canonical artifacts into the repository and verifies their existence, but performs no artifact creation itself.
