Setup Tracking
Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume:
- Issue tracker — where issues live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box)
- Domain docs — where
CONTEXT.md and ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them
This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write.
Process
1. Explore
Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume:
git remote -v and .git/config — is this a GitHub repo? Which one?AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md at the repo root — does either exist? Is there already an ## Agent skills section in either?CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo rootdocs/adr/ and any src/*/docs/adr/ directoriesdocs/agents/ — does this skill's prior output already exist?.scratch/ — sign that a local-markdown issue tracker convention is already in use- Monorepo signals — a
pnpm-workspace.yaml, a workspaces field in package.json, or a populated packages/* with its own src/. Present only in a genuinely large multi-package repo; their absence means single-context, which is almost every repo.
2. Present findings and ask
Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then take the sections in order — one section, one answer, then the next.
Lead each section with the recommended answer so the user can accept it in a word. Give a one-line explainer only when the choice genuinely branches; skip the section entirely when exploration already settled it (Section B when there's no monorepo).
Section A — Issue tracker.
Explainer: The "issue tracker" is where issues live for this repo. Skills like to-tickets and to-spec read from and write to it — they need to know whether to call gh issue create, write a markdown file under .scratch/, or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo.
Default posture: these skills were designed for GitHub. If a git remote points at GitHub, propose that. Otherwise (or if the user prefers), offer:
- GitHub — issues live in the repo's GitHub Issues (uses the
gh CLI)
- Linear — issues live in the repo's associated Linear workspace (uses the
linear MCP)
- Local markdown — issues live as files under
.scratch/<feature>/ in this repo (good for solo projects or repos without a remote)
Record the choice in docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.
Section B — Domain docs. Default to single-context — one CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root. This fits almost every repo; write it without asking.
Offer multi-context — a root CONTEXT-MAP.md pointing to per-context CONTEXT.md files — only when exploration found monorepo signals. Then confirm which layout they want.
3. Confirm and edit
Show the user a draft of:
- The
## Agent skills block to add to whichever of CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md is being edited (see step 4 for selection rules)
- The contents of
docs/agents/issue-tracker.md and docs/agents/domain.md
Let them edit before writing.
4. Write
Pick the file to edit:
- If
CLAUDE.md exists, edit it.
- Else if
AGENTS.md exists, edit it.
- If neither exists, ask the user which one to create — don't pick for them.
Never create AGENTS.md when CLAUDE.md already exists (or vice versa) — always edit the one that's already there.
If an ## Agent skills block already exists in the chosen file, update its contents in-place rather than appending a duplicate. Don't overwrite user edits to the surrounding sections.
The block:
## Agent skills
### Issue tracker
[one-line summary of where issues are tracked]. See `docs/agents/issue-tracker.md`.
### Domain docs
[one-line summary of layout — "single-context" or "multi-context"]. See `docs/agents/domain.md`.
Include the ### Triage labels sub-block, and write docs/agents/triage-labels.md, only when triage is installed and Section B ran. When it isn't, both are omitted.
Then write the docs files using the seed templates in this skill folder as a starting point:
For "other" issue trackers, write docs/agents/issue-tracker.md from scratch using the user's description.
5. Done
Tell the user the setup is complete and which skills will now read from these files. Mention they can edit docs/agents/*.md directly later — re-running this skill is only necessary if they want to switch issue trackers or restart from scratch.
