Initialize Project

Purpose

This skill automates the initial setup of a new project derived from this template. It leverages AI capabilities to directly modify project metadata and documentation by replacing placeholders, ensuring a clean start for a new repository.

Instructions

1. •Gather Information: Ask the user for:
   • •New project name (e.g., my-awesome-app)
   • •Project description
   • •Author name (e.g., Your Name <your.email@example.com>)
2. •Update Project Metadata: Directly update the following files using the Write or StrReplace tools:
   • •pyproject.toml: Update project.name, project.description, and project.authors.
   • •Update tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel.packages to match the new source directory.
3. •Rename Source Package:
   • •Rename src/your_package to the new package name (e.g., src/my_awesome_app).
   • •Update any internal imports if they reference your_package.
4. •Update README Placeholders: Use the StrReplace tool to replace the placeholders in README.md with the gathered information:
   • •{PROJECT_NAME} -> New project name
   • •{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION} -> Project description
5. •Install Dependencies: Run make setup to initialize the environment and update uv.lock.
6. •Final Cleanup: Remove the initialization skill and its related files once bootstrapping is complete, if requested by the user.

Examples

Example 1: Initializing a new CLI tool

2. •Update pyproject.toml with the new metadata.
3. •Rename src/your_package to src/json_fixer.
4. •Use StrReplace on README.md to swap placeholders with actual values.
5. •Run make setup.
