SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trellis requires a one‑time setup to enable AI‑assisted development, and developers often lack a guided, repeatable process to install and configure it across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated environment checks for Node.js and npm.
  • CLI installation of the Trellis package.
  • Developer profiling to tag session history.
  • Project initialization that creates the required .trellis, .claude, and .cursor structures.
  • Verification steps to ensure the setup succeeded.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to bootstrap Trellis in your codebase by saying “Initialize Trellis for this project”.

Frequently Asked Questions about trellis-bootstrap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize an AI workflow system in an existing codebase?▼

You can bootstrap Trellis to initialize an AI workflow system, which automatically creates the required .trellis, .claude, and .cursor project structures for AI-assisted coding guidance and session memory.

What do I need to install before adding AI-assisted coding guidance to my project?▼

Before adding AI-assisted coding guidance, you need Node.js v18+, npm, and the global installation of the @mindfoldhq/trellis CLI. The bootstrap process includes automated environment checks for these dependencies.

How does developer profiling work when setting up session memory for AI coding?▼

Developer profiling tags session history during the project initialization process, ensuring that AI-assisted coding guidance and automation commands are contextually aware of the specific developer's workflow.

Can I use this AI workflow bootstrap process for a new project?▼

Yes, you can use this AI workflow bootstrap process for a new or existing codebase. It provides a guided, repeatable setup to install and configure the necessary AI automation commands and project structures.

What is the best way to verify if AI workflow initialization succeeded?▼

The best way to verify AI workflow initialization is through the built-in verification steps. The bootstrap process executes these checks automatically to ensure the environment, CLI installation, and project setup succeeded.
