Greenfield Bootstrap
Use this skill with godmode-workflow when the current workspace is empty, newly initialized, or missing the local governance needed for safe multi-step implementation.
Required outcome
- establish a minimal repo-local constitution before parallel work starts
- keep the bootstrap small, truthful, and directly tied to the actual project
Default route
- inspect the workspace and confirm what exists
- create or update the smallest local governance surface needed:
- repo-root
AGENTS.md or equivalent instructions file
- basic README or setup note if the repo has none
- validation and release-law notes for the touched scope
- keep early structure explicit:
- where config belongs
- where agents belong
- where project or user skills belong
- only after that, continue under
$godmode-workflow, $godmode-debug, or $godmode-review
Core rules
- Do not invent architecture that the project has not chosen yet.
- Prefer durable markdown guidance over chat-only agreements.
- Keep initial rules short enough that they can realistically stay maintained.
Do not use when
- the workspace already has clear local governance
- the task is only a one-off answer with no lasting repo changes
