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
   • •(Optional) GitHub repository URL
2. •Update Project Metadata: Directly update the following files using the Write or StrReplace tools:
   • •package.json: Update name, description, and author.
   • •packages/common/package.json: Update the package name to match the new scope (e.g., @new-name/common).
   • •.trunk/trunk.yaml: If there are template-specific references, update them.
3. •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
   • •{LICENSE} -> ISC (or other preferred license)
4. •Install Dependencies: Run pnpm install to update the lockfile with the new package names.
5. •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

Input: User says "Initialize this project as 'json-fixer', a CLI tool to fix broken JSON files." Action:

1. •Gather details from the user (Name: json-fixer, Description: A CLI tool to fix broken JSON files, Author: [Author Name]).
2. •Update package.json with the new metadata.
3. •Use StrReplace on README.md to swap {PROJECT_NAME}, {PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}, and {LICENSE} with the actual values.
4. •Run pnpm install.
