How to Use
When asked to bootstrap a project, I will:
- •Clarify requirements: Ask about project name, target directory, and specific needs
- •Check prerequisites: Verify required tools are installed (Node.js 18+, git, etc.)
- •Run the scaffolding command: Execute the appropriate npx/cargo/dotnet command
- •Verify setup: Ensure dependencies installed and dev server starts
- •Point to development docs: Reference the skill documentation included in the project
Quick Commands
To bootstrap a project, ask me to:
- •"Create a full-stack React app with TanStack Start" →
npx create-tanstack-start-shadcn - •"Set up a new project with shadcn/ui and Tailwind" →
npx create-tanstack-start-shadcn - •"Create a new Rust CLI project" →
cargo new - •"Set up a Tauri desktop app with React" →
npm create tauri-app@latest - •"Bootstrap a TanStack Router project" →
npx create-tanstack-app@latest - •"Initialize a Python project with virtual environment" →
uv initorpython3 -m venv - •"Create a new .NET 8 Web API" →
dotnet new web
Prerequisites Check
Before bootstrapping, I'll verify these tools are available:
# Check common tools node --version # Should be 18+ which git && git --version
For stack-specific requirements, see TEMPLATES.md.
Project Naming Conventions
- •Use lowercase with hyphens:
my-awesome-project - •Avoid spaces and special characters
- •Keep names concise but descriptive
Post-Setup Recommendations
After bootstrapping, I'll suggest:
- •Setting up version control (if not already a git repo)
- •Configuring CI/CD pipelines
- •Adding appropriate .gitignore entries
- •Setting up pre-commit hooks
- •Configuring IDE/editor settings
