About

Bootstrap-project inspects a repository, determines which scaffolding and setup tools it needs — CI, linters, language toolchains (Go, Rust, Lean/Mathlib, Zig, and more) — then presents a plan and executes the steps in the correct order. It takes a bare or partial repo to a properly configured starting state. A scaffolding/DevOps skill for kicking off new projects.

  • Assesses repo needs
  • Plans scaffolding and setup
  • Sets up CI and linters
  • Handles Go, Rust, Lean, Zig toolchains

README.md

Bootstrap Project

Assess a repository, determine what scaffolding and setup tools are needed, present a plan, and execute them in the correct order.

Type: Skill Trigger: /bootstrap-project

Installation

See the marketplace install instructions.

What It Does

Scans the repository for language markers and existing infrastructure, determines which scaffolding and setup tools are needed, presents a plan with status for each tool, and executes confirmed tools in the correct dependency order. Handles overlap between tools automatically (e.g., scaffold-go-cli already includes CI and GoReleaser, so those are skipped).

Orchestrates these tools:

  • scaffold-new-repo: LICENSE, README, .gitignore, agent config
  • scaffold-go-cli / scaffold-go-library / scaffold-lean-library: language-specific project structure
  • set-up-ci: GitHub Actions CI workflow and Makefile targets
  • set-up-linters: linters and formatters
  • set-up-secret-scanning: secret scanning workflows
  • add-goreleaser-homebrew: GoReleaser and Homebrew tap publishing
  • set-up-installers: Homebrew formula
  • add-scrut-cli-tests: scrut CLI integration tests

Usage

/bootstrap-project

Examples

  • "bootstrap this project": full assessment and setup
  • "set up everything": same behavior
