Bootstrap Project

Initialize a new project with the standard file structure for Claude Code and Cursor development.

Usage

/bootstrap-project

Process

1. Gather Project Information

Ask the user for:

• Project name (e.g., davidshaevel-k8s-platform)
• Brief description (one sentence)
• Tech stack (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes, Go)
• Cloud providers (e.g., Azure, GCP, AWS)
• Linear project URL (if exists)
• GitHub organization (default: davidshaevel-dot-com)

2. Generate CLAUDE.md

Create CLAUDE.md from the project template. Fill in the project-specific sections:

• Project Overview (name, description, technologies, project management)
• Architecture (placeholder diagram)
• Repository Structure (directory tree)
• Important File Locations (key paths)
• Helpful Commands (project-specific commands)
• Environment Variables (table of required vars)
• References (docs links, Linear project URL)

What NOT to include: Git workflow, commit format, PR process, code review handling, worktree conventions — these are injected by the davidshaevel-claude-toolkit plugin automatically.

3. Generate .cursorrules

Create .cursorrules with:

• Session continuity instructions (read/write SESSION_LOG.md)
• Development conventions (adapted from plugin conventions)
• Project-specific context

4. Generate CLAUDE.local.md

Create CLAUDE.local.md from the template:

• Cloud account details (placeholder table)
• Infrastructure details
• GitHub repository info
• Linear project info
• Cost summary

5. Generate SESSION_LOG.md

Create SESSION_LOG.md with the empty scaffold:

• Current State section (all fields set to initial values)
• Empty Session History section

6. Update .gitignore

Append to .gitignore (if not already present):

# Agent context files (sensitive/local)
CLAUDE.local.md
SESSION_LOG.md

7. Report

Output a checklist of what was created:

Project bootstrapped:
- [x] CLAUDE.md — project-specific context
- [x] .cursorrules — Cursor development rules
- [x] CLAUDE.local.md — sensitive config template (gitignored)
- [x] SESSION_LOG.md — cross-agent memory (gitignored)
- [x] .gitignore — updated with agent files

Next steps:
1. Fill in CLAUDE.local.md with actual account IDs and resource details
2. Review CLAUDE.md and customize for your project
3. Start your first session — conventions will be injected by the plugin
