Initializing Projects

Bootstrap a new project with modern best practices and agent system.

Process

1. Requirements Gathering

First ask Project Type, then ask relevant questions based on type.

Project Types → Questions

Project Type	Questions to Ask
Frontend SPA	Language, Framework, UI Library, Styling, State Management, Package Manager, Testing, Linting
Full-stack App	Above + ORM/Database, Validation, API Style, Auth Strategy
API Service	Language, Framework, ORM, Validation, API Style, Auth, Testing
CLI Tool / Library	Language, Validation, Package Manager, Testing, Linting
Static Blog / Docs	Language, Framework, Styling, Static Site Generator

Ask questions iteratively. Skip if already answered or not applicable.

2. Research Best Practices

Use web search to find:

•Latest stable version of chosen framework
•Official CLI tool and initialization commands
•Current best practices and recommended project structure

3. Write Blueprint

Create /docs/blueprint.md with:

markdown

# Project Blueprint

## Stack
- Language: [version]
- Framework: [version]
- Package manager: [choice]

## Project Structure
[Recommended directory layout]

## Initialization Command
[Official CLI command, e.g., `npx create-next-app@latest`]

## Key Dependencies
[Core packages with versions]

Ask user to confirm the blueprint before proceeding.

4. Bootstrap Project

After user confirmation:

•Run the official CLI tool to create project
•Install additional dependencies if needed
•Apply any post-init configurations

5. Setup Agent System

CRITICAL: Invoke the migrating-agent-systems skill.

This handles:

•Create CLAUDE.md with project-specific constitution
•Setup skills as needed
•Configure hooks for static checks
•Create rules based on discovered conventions

6. Final Confirmation

Ask user if they want to proceed with bootstrapping according to the blueprint.
