name	ck:bootstrap

Bootstrap - New Project Scaffolding

End-to-end project bootstrapping from idea to running code.

Principles: YAGNI, KISS, DRY | Token efficiency | Concise reports

Usage

/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:

/bootstrap "Build a SaaS dashboard with auth" --fast
/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
