Rig - Repository Bootstrap

When this skill is invoked, IMMEDIATELY output the banner below before doing anything else. Pick ONE tagline at random — vary your choice each time. CRITICAL: Reproduce the banner EXACTLY character-for-character. The first line of the art has 4 leading spaces — you MUST preserve them.

Idempotently bootstrap repositories with standard development infrastructure. Prompts and report schemas are in references/. Configuration procedures are in references/configuration-steps.md.

Key principle: Prompt user before making changes. Report findings first, get approval, then act.

---

Platform Detection

Detect the hosting platform before pre-flight so dependency checks are platform-specific:

REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$REMOTE_URL" | grep -qiE 'dev\.azure\.com|visualstudio\.com'; then
  PLATFORM="azdo"
elif echo "$REMOTE_URL" | grep -qi 'github\.com'; then
  PLATFORM="github"
else
  PLATFORM="github"   # default fallback
fi

Pass {PLATFORM} into all phase prompts. Each phase uses the appropriate CLI tool: gh for GitHub, az repos/az pipelines for Azure DevOps.

---

Pre-flight

Before starting, check all dependencies in this table. The table contains all dependencies — some are platform-conditional (see notes after table).

Dependency	Type	Check	Required	Resolution	Detail
git	cli	git --version	yes	stop	Install from https://git-scm.com
sync	skill	ls .claude/skills/sync/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/sync/SKILL.md ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/slamb2k/skills/sync/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null	no	fallback	Repo sync; falls back to manual git pull
lefthook	npm	npx lefthook --help	yes	install	npm install -g lefthook
gh	cli	gh --version	yes	url	https://cli.github.com
az devops	cli	az devops -h 2>/dev/null	no	fallback	Falls back to REST API with PAT; see AzDO tooling below

Platform-conditional rules:

• gh: Only required when PLATFORM == github. Skip for AzDO repos.
• az devops: Only checked when PLATFORM == azdo. Skip for GitHub repos.

For each applicable row, in order:

1. Skip rows that don't apply to the detected {PLATFORM}
2. Run the Check command (for cli/npm) or test file existence (for agent/skill)
3. If found: continue silently
4. If missing: apply Resolution strategy
   • stop: notify user with Detail, halt execution
   • url: notify user with Detail (install link), halt execution
   • install: notify user, run the command in Detail, continue if successful
   • ask: notify user, offer to run command in Detail, continue either way (or halt if required)
   • fallback: notify user with Detail, continue with degraded behavior
5. After all checks: summarize what's available and what's degraded

AzDO Tooling Detection

When PLATFORM == azdo, determine which tooling is available. Set AZDO_MODE for use in all subsequent phases:

if az devops -h &>/dev/null; then
  AZDO_MODE="cli"
else
  AZDO_MODE="rest"
fi

• cli: Use az repos / az pipelines commands (preferred)
• rest: Use Azure DevOps REST API via curl. Requires a PAT (personal access token) in AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT or AZDO_PAT env var. If no PAT is found, prompt the user to either install the CLI or set the env var.

Report in pre-flight:

• ✅ az devops cli — version found
• ⚠️ az devops cli — not found → using REST API fallback
• ❌ az devops cli — not found, no PAT configured → halt with setup instructions

AzDO Configuration Validation

When PLATFORM == azdo, extract organization and project from the remote URL and validate they are usable. These values are needed by every az repos / az pipelines command and every REST API call.

# Extract org and project from remote URL patterns:
#   https://dev.azure.com/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/_git/{REPO}
#   https://{ORG}@dev.azure.com/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/_git/{REPO}
#   {ORG}@vs-ssh.visualstudio.com:v3/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/{REPO}

REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)

if echo "$REMOTE_URL" | grep -q 'dev\.azure\.com'; then
  AZDO_ORG=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*dev\.azure\.com/\([^/]*\)/.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_PROJECT=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*dev\.azure\.com/[^/]*/\([^/]*\)/.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_ORG_URL="https://dev.azure.com/$AZDO_ORG"
elif echo "$REMOTE_URL" | grep -q 'vs-ssh\.visualstudio\.com'; then
  AZDO_ORG=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*vs-ssh\.visualstudio\.com:v3/\([^/]*\)/.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_PROJECT=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*vs-ssh\.visualstudio\.com:v3/[^/]*/\([^/]*\)/.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_ORG_URL="https://dev.azure.com/$AZDO_ORG"
elif echo "$REMOTE_URL" | grep -q 'visualstudio\.com'; then
  AZDO_ORG=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*//\([^.]*\)\.visualstudio\.com.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_PROJECT=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -n 's|.*/\([^/]*\)/_git/.*|\1|p')
  AZDO_ORG_URL="https://${AZDO_ORG}.visualstudio.com"
fi

# URL-decode for CLI/display; keep URL-safe versions for REST API paths
AZDO_PROJECT_URL_SAFE="$AZDO_PROJECT"
AZDO_ORG=$(python3 -c "import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.unquote('$AZDO_ORG'))")
AZDO_PROJECT=$(python3 -c "import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.unquote('$AZDO_PROJECT_URL_SAFE'))")

if [ -z "$AZDO_ORG" ] || [ -z "$AZDO_PROJECT" ]; then
  echo "❌ Could not extract organization/project from remote URL"
  echo "   Remote: $REMOTE_URL"
  echo ""
  echo "Ensure the remote URL follows one of these formats:"
  echo "  https://dev.azure.com/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/_git/{REPO}"
  echo "  https://{ORG}.visualstudio.com/{PROJECT}/_git/{REPO}"
  echo "  {ORG}@vs-ssh.visualstudio.com:v3/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/{REPO}"
  # HALT — cannot proceed without org/project context
fi

When AZDO_MODE == cli, also configure the defaults so commands work correctly:

az devops configure --defaults organization="$AZDO_ORG_URL" project="$AZDO_PROJECT"

When AZDO_MODE == rest, store these for API calls:

• Base URL: $AZDO_ORG_URL/$AZDO_PROJECT_URL_SAFE/_apis
• Auth header: Authorization: Basic $(printf ":%s" "$PAT" | base64 | tr -d '\n')

Report in pre-flight:

• ✅ azdo context — org: {AZDO_ORG}, project: {AZDO_PROJECT}
• ❌ azdo context — could not parse from remote URL → halt with instructions

Pass {AZDO_MODE}, {AZDO_ORG}, {AZDO_PROJECT}, {AZDO_ORG_URL} into all phase prompts alongside {PLATFORM}.

Phase 0: Sync

Invoke /sync to ensure the working tree is up to date with origin/main before bootstrapping. If /sync is unavailable, run git pull manually. This prevents rigging against stale repo state.

---

Phase 1: System Requirements Check

Launch general-purpose subagent (bash) (haiku — simple checks):

Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Check system requirements",
  prompt: <read from references/phase-prompts.md#phase-1>
)

Parse SYSTEM_REPORT. If any requirement fails, use AskUserQuestion:

Options for missing git config:

• "I'll configure it manually"
• "Configure for me with: [email] / [name]"

Stop if user chooses manual. Configure if values provided.

---

Phase 2: Repository Analysis

Launch general-purpose subagent (bash) (haiku):

Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Analyze repository",
  prompt: <read from references/phase-prompts.md#phase-2>
)

Parse REPO_REPORT.

---

Phase 3: Present Findings & Get Approval

Present analysis to user with AskUserQuestion:

Repository Analysis Complete

Current State:
  Git initialized: {status}
  Branch: {branch}
  Lefthook: {status}
  Commit template: {status}
  PR template: {status}
  CI workflow: {status}
  {if azdo and unregistered_pipelines:}
  Azure Pipelines: {N} YAML file(s) found, {M} not yet registered

Detected Stack:
  Type: {project_type}
  Components: {detected_components}
  Available scripts: {available_scripts}

Proposed Changes:
  {numbered list of what will be added/configured}
  {if azdo and unregistered_pipelines: "Register Azure Pipelines: {list of YAML paths}"}

Options:

• "Yes, configure everything"
• "Let me choose what to configure"
• "Cancel"

If "Let me choose", present individual options as multi-select.

---

Phase 4: Execute Configuration

For each approved item, follow the procedures in references/configuration-steps.md.

Branch Discipline in CLAUDE.md

If the project has an existing CLAUDE.md:

1. Check if ## Branch Discipline already exists:

   grep -q "## Branch Discipline" CLAUDE.md
   

2. If NOT found, inject the Branch Discipline section before ## Guardrails:
   • Read the file content
   • Find the line containing ## Guardrails
   • Insert the Branch Discipline section immediately before it
   • If no ## Guardrails section exists, append at the end of the file
3. If already present, skip (idempotent)

The Branch Discipline content to inject is the ## Branch Discipline section from skills/brace/references/claude-md-template.md. Read that file to get the exact content — this avoids duplication and ensures both /brace and /rig inject identical text.

---

Phase 5: Verification

Launch general-purpose subagent (bash) (haiku):

Task(
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Verify configuration",
  prompt: <read from references/phase-prompts.md#phase-5>
)

Parse VERIFY_REPORT.

---

Phase 6: Final Report

Present summary using the template in references/report-template.md.

After presenting the report, record lifecycle completion and surface the next step:

_R="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/slamb2k}"
node "$_R/hooks/session-guard.cjs" lifecycle-complete rig

If the command prints a LIFECYCLE_OFFER_BEGIN…END block, present that offer to the user via AskUserQuestion as instructed inside the block. If it prints nothing (or LIFECYCLE_OFFER_NONE), do not mention the lifecycle engine.

---

Idempotency Rules

• Skip items already correctly configured
• Update items that exist but are outdated (prompt user first)
• Add items that are missing
• Never delete user's existing configuration without explicit approval
• Merge rather than replace when possible (e.g., add missing hooks)

---

Error Handling

If any step fails:

1. Report the specific failure
2. Offer to skip and continue, or abort
3. Include troubleshooting suggestions

Common issues:

• No package manager -> suggest installing npm/bun
• Permission denied -> check file permissions
• Lefthook install fails -> try global install
• Git not initialized -> offer to initialize
