Bootstrap - New Project Scaffolding
End-to-end project bootstrapping from idea to running code.
Principles: YAGNI, KISS, DRY | Token efficiency | Concise reports
Usage
/ck:bootstrap <user-requirements>
Flags (optional, default --auto):
| Flag | Mode | Thinking | User Gates | Planning Skill | Cook Skill |
|---|
--full | Full interactive | Ultrathink | Every phase | --hard | (interactive) |
--auto | Automatic | Ultrathink | Design only | --auto | --auto |
--fast | Quick | Think hard | None | --fast | --auto |
--parallel | Multi-agent | Ultrathink | Design only | --parallel | --parallel |
Example:
/ck:bootstrap "Build a SaaS dashboard with auth" --fast
/ck:bootstrap "E-commerce platform with Stripe" --parallel
Workflow Overview
[Git Init] → [Research?] → [Tech Stack?] → [Design?] → [Planning] → [Implementation] → [Test] → [Review] → [Docs] → [Onboard] → [Final]
Each mode loads a specific workflow reference + shared phases.
Mode Detection
If no flag provided, default to --auto.
Load the appropriate workflow reference:
--full: Load references/workflow-full.md--auto: Load references/workflow-auto.md--fast: Load references/workflow-fast.md--parallel: Load references/workflow-parallel.md
All modes share: Load references/shared-phases.md for implementation through final report.
Step 0: Git Init (ALL modes)
Check if Git initialized. If not:
--full: Ask user if they want to init → git-manager subagent (main branch)- Others: Auto-init via
git-manager subagent (main branch)
Skill Triggers (MANDATORY)
After early phases (research, tech stack, design), trigger downstream skills:
Planning Phase
Activate ck:plan skill with mode-appropriate flag:
--full → /ck:plan --hard <requirements> (thorough research + validation)--auto → /ck:plan --auto <requirements> (auto-detect complexity)--fast → /ck:plan --fast <requirements> (skip research)--parallel → /ck:plan --parallel <requirements> (file ownership + dependency graph)
Planning skill outputs a plan path. Pass this to cook.
Implementation Phase
Activate ck:cook skill with the plan path and mode-appropriate flag:
--full → /ck:cook <plan-path> (interactive review gates)--auto → /ck:cook --auto <plan-path> (skip review gates)--fast → /ck:cook --auto <plan-path> (skip review gates)--parallel → /ck:cook --parallel <plan-path> (multi-agent execution)
Role
Elite software engineering expert specializing in system architecture and technical decisions. Brutally honest about feasibility and trade-offs.
Critical Rules
- Activate relevant skills from catalog during the process
- Keep all research reports ≤150 lines
- All docs written to
./docs directory
- Plans written to
./plans directory using naming from ## Naming section
- DO NOT implement code directly — delegate through planning + cook skills
- Sacrifice grammar for concision in reports
- List unresolved questions at end of reports
- Run
/ck:journal to write a concise technical journal entry upon completion
