name	setting-up-projects
description	Initializes a new project with required tooling and infrastructure scaffolding. Use when setting up a project from scratch or bootstrapping a new codebase.

Sets up a new project with tooling and infrastructure using mise.

Prerequisites

Make sure the following is pre-setup, if not ask the user to do so:

• mise must be installed and in PATH: https://mise.jdx.dev
• a mise.toml must be present, amp (ampcode.com) must be installed using mise, if not ask the user to do so

Behavior

• When asked to setup a project, do not DO anything else except follow the steps below.
• If you want to do things that are not in the steps below, you MUST ask the user for permission.
• It might be that everything is already setup, in that case: do not do anything.

Steps

Perform the following steps. For each step first check if the step was already performed. If so, skip it but make sure that steps still need to be performed can be performed still.

1. Use mise to install Go: mise u go
2. Use go mod init to init the main module
3. Use mise to install Node.js 22 (and npm): mise u node@22
4. Use mise to install the AWS CDK toolkit: mise u npm:aws-cdk
5. Use mise to install the AWS CLI: mise u aws-cli

Install the 'ago' CLI

6. Use mise to install the 'ago' CLI: GOPROXY=direct mise u "go:github.com/advdv/ago/cmd/ago@latest"
   • IMPORTANT: You MUST use GOPROXY=direct prefix to bypass the Go module proxy cache and get the absolute latest commit. Do NOT omit this.
   • IMPORTANT: You MUST First uninstall any existing version: GOPROXY=direct mise uninstall "go:github.com/advdv/ago/cmd/ago@latest" 2>/dev/null || true
     • Uninstall is needed because mise won't reinstall if @latest is already present
   • Then install: GOPROXY=direct mise u "go:github.com/advdv/ago/cmd/ago@latest"
     • GOPROXY=direct bypasses the Go module proxy cache to get the absolute latest commit
7. Add mise tasks to mise.toml that proxy all ago CLI commands. For each ago subcommand (e.g., ago check tests, ago dev fmt), add:

   [tasks."<group>:<command>"]
   run = "ago <group> <command>"
   

   • Run ago --help and ago <subcommand> --help to discover all available commands
   • Use the same naming hierarchy (e.g., check:tests, dev:fmt)

Setup Linting

6. Use mise to install golangci-lint: mise u golangci-lint
7. Use the librarian to copy the ".golangci.yml" file from the github.com/advdv/ago repository

Setup infrastructure-as-code using AWS CDK

7. Use the AWS CDK cli to initialize a Go CDK project in the /infra/cdk/cdk directory (use cdk init with appropriate options for a Go app)
8. Make sure it is a dedicated go module with its own go.mod
9. Make sure to add the following to the cdk's .gitignore:
   • "cdk" so the cdk binary doesn't get committed when compiled.
10. Clean up the CDK project by removing:
    • the _test file that was created as part of the setup
    • the README.md that was created as part of the setup
11. Use the "setting-up-cdk-app" skill to replace the boilerpalte CDK code.
    • If no existing "Shared" and "Deployment" structs exist, create empty ones in /infra/cdk

Run the check task
