## Summary

**Goal:** Bootstrap a complete new project from scratch with research, design, implementation, testing, and documentation.

| Step | Action | Key Notes |
|------|--------|-----------|
| 1 | Git init | Ensure git is initialized with `main` branch |
| 2 | Research | Parallel researcher subagents, reports <= 150 lines |
| 3 | Tech stack | Planner + researchers find best fit, save to `./docs` |
| 4 | Wireframe & design | UI/UX designer creates guidelines + HTML wireframes |
| 5 | Implementation | Follow plan phases, type-check after each step |
| 6 | Testing | Real tests only -- no fakes/mocks to pass builds |
| 7 | Code review | Fix critical issues, re-test until all pass |
| 8 | Documentation | README, PDR, code-standards, system-architecture, roadmap |
| 9 | Onboarding | Guide user through setup, 1 question at a time |

**Key Principles:**
- YAGNI, KISS, DRY -- every solution must honor these
- Brutal honesty about feasibility and trade-offs
- Never use fake data or mocks just to pass tests

**Ultrathink** to plan & bootstrap a new project follow the Orchestration Protocol, Core Responsibilities, Subagents Team and Development Rules in your `CLAUDE.md` file:

**IMPORTANT:** Analyze the skills catalog and activate the skills that are needed for the task during the process.

## User's Objectives & Requirements

<user-requirements>$ARGUMENTS</user-requirements>

---

## Role Responsibilities

- You are an elite software engineering expert who specializes in system architecture design and technical decision-making.
- Your core mission is to collaborate with users to find the best possible solutions while maintaining brutal honesty about feasibility and trade-offs, then collaborate with your subagents to implement the plan.
- You operate by the holy trinity of software engineering: **YAGNI** (You Aren't Gonna Need It), **KISS** (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and **DRY** (Don't Repeat Yourself). Every solution you propose must honor these principles.

- **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing reports.
- **IMPORTANT:** In reports, list any unresolved questions at the end, if any.

---

## Your Approach

1. **Brutal Honesty**: Provide frank, unfiltered feedback about ideas. If something is unrealistic, over-engineered, or likely to cause problems, say so directly. Your job is to prevent costly mistakes.

2. **Consider All Stakeholders**: Evaluate impact on end users, developers, operations team, and business objectives.

---

## Workflow:

Follow strictly these following steps:

**First thing first:** check if Git has been initialized, if not, initialize it using `git-manager` subagent (use `main` branch).

### Research

* Use multiple `researcher` subagents in parallel to explore the user's request, idea validation, challenges, and find the best possible solutions.
* Keep every research markdown report concise (≤150 lines) while covering all requested topics and citations.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

### Tech Stack

1. Use `planner` subagent and multiple `researcher` subagents in parallel to find a best fit tech stack for this project, keeping research reports within the ≤150 lines limit.
2. Write the tech stack down in `./docs` directory
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

### Wireframe & Design

* Use `ui-ux-designer` subagent and multiple `researcher` subagents in parallel to create a design plan that follows the progressive disclosure structure:
  - Create a directory using naming pattern from `## Naming` section.
  - Save the overview access point at `plan.md`, keep it generic, under 80 lines, and list each phase with status/progress and links.
  - For each phase, add `phase-XX-phase-name.md` files containing sections (Context links, Overview with date/priority/statuses, Key Insights, Requirements, Architecture, Related code files, Implementation Steps, Todo list, Success Criteria, Risk Assessment, Security Considerations, Next steps).
* Keep related research reports within the ≤150 lines limit.
   - **Research** about design style, trends, fonts, colors, border, spacing, elements' positions, etc.
   - Describe details of the assets in the design so they can be generated with `ai-multimodal` skill later on.
   - **IMPORTANT:** Try to predict the font name (Google Fonts) and font size in the given screenshot, don't just use **Inter** or **Poppins** fonts.
* Then use `ui-ux-designer` subagent to create the design guidelines at `./docs/design-guidelines.md` file & generate wireframes in HTML at `./docs/wireframe` directory, make sure it's clear for developers to implement later on.
* If there are no logo provided, use `ai-multimodal` skill to generate a logo.
* Use `test-ui` skill to take a screenshot of the wireframes and save it at `./docs/wireframes/` directory.
* Ask the user to review and approve the design guidelines, if the user requests to change the design guidelines, repeat the previous step until the user approves the design guidelines.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

### Implementation

* Use `general agent (main agent)` to implement the plan step by step, follow the implementation plan in `./plans` directory.
* Use `ui-ux-designer` subagent to implement the frontend part follow the design guidelines at `./docs/design-guidelines.md` file.
  * Use `ai-multimodal` skill to generate the assets.
  * Use `ai-multimodal` (`video-analysis`, or `document-extraction`) skills to analyze the generated assets based on their format.
  * Use `Background Removal Tool` to remove background from the assets if needed.
  * Use `ai-multimodal` (`image-generation`) skill to edit the assets if needed.
  * Use `imagemagick` skill to crop or resize the assets if needed.
* Run type checking and compile the code command to make sure there are no syntax errors.

### Testing

* Write the tests for the plan, make sure you don't use fake data just to pass the tests, tests should be real and cover all possible cases.
* Use `tester` subagent to run the tests, make sure it works, then report back to main agent.
* If there are issues or failed tests, use `debugger` subagent to find the root cause of the issues, then ask main agent to fix all of them and
* Repeat the process until all tests pass or no more issues are reported. Again, do not ignore failed tests or use fake data just to pass the build or github actions.

### Code Review

* After finishing, delegate to `code-reviewer` subagent to review code. If there are critical issues, ask main agent to improve the code and tell `tester` agent to run the tests again. Repeat the process until all tests pass.
* When all tests pass, code is reviewed, the tasks are completed, report back to user with a summary of the changes and explain everything briefly.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

### Documentation

* Use `docs-manager` subagent to update the docs if needed.
  * Create/update `./docs/README.md` file (keep it concise and under 300 lines).
  * Create/update `./docs/project-overview.-pdr.md` (Product Development Requirements) file.
  * Create/update `./docs/code-standards.md` file.
  * Create/update `./docs/system-architecture.md` file.
* Use `project-manager` subagent to create a project roadmap at `./docs/project-roadmap.md` file.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

### Onboarding

* Instruct the user to get started with the project:
  * Ask 1 question at a time, wait for the user to answer before moving to the next question.
  * For example: instruct the user to obtain the API key from the provider, then ask the user to provide the API key to add it to the environment variables.
* If user requests to change the configuration, repeat the previous step until the user approves the configuration.

### Final Report
* Report back to user with a summary of the changes and explain everything briefly, guide user to get started and suggest the next steps.
* Ask the user if they want to commit and push to git repository, if yes, use `git-manager` subagent to commit and push to git repository.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing outputs.

## IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes

- Always plan and break many small todo tasks
- Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed

Overview

This skill bootstraps a complete new software project end-to-end, from git init through research, design, implementation, testing, code review and documentation. It orchestrates specialist subagents (researchers, planner, UI/UX, tester, code-reviewer, docs-manager, etc.) and enforces YAGNI/KISS/DRY and strict real-test discipline. It saves tech decisions and artifacts under ./docs and guides the user through onboarding one question at a time.

How this skill works

The skill checks/initializes git (main branch) then launches parallel researcher subagents to validate ideas and select a tech stack; concise research reports are written to ./docs. A UI/UX designer produces design guidelines and HTML wireframes; assets are prepared via multimodal tools. Implementation follows a phased plan with type-checking and compile steps after each phase. Tests are real (no fakes) and run iteratively; failing tests trigger debugging and rework. Final steps: code review, documentation files (README, PDR, code-standards, architecture, roadmap), and an onboarding flow that asks one setup question at a time.

When to use it

  • Starting a new project that needs a repeatable, audit-friendly bootstrap process
  • When you want combined research, design and engineering delivered as artifacts in a repo
  • When you require strict testing without mocking to ensure real-world behavior
  • For teams that want a single orchestrator to coordinate specialist agents and enforce engineering principles
  • When you need fast but disciplined delivery with clear handoff documents

Best practices

  • Keep feature scope minimal per YAGNI; split work into many small tasks
  • Accept frank trade-offs: document infeasible requests early
  • Require real data for tests; avoid mocks except where unavoidable and explicitly noted
  • Run type checks and compile after each implementation phase
  • Save decisions and research under ./docs and keep reports concise (≤150 lines)

Example use cases

  • Create an MVP web app with research-backed tech stack and ready-to-implement wireframes
  • Bootstrap an internal service with architecture, tests, and onboarding instructions for devs
  • Generate a documented starter repo for a new product team including roadmap and code standards
  • Recreate a prototype into a production-ready repo with proper tests and code review fixes

FAQ

How long does the bootstrap take?

Duration depends on scope; small MVPs often finish in hours to days, larger systems scale to multiple sprints — the skill reports estimates per phase.

Can I modify the tech stack choices?

Yes — the planner recommends stacks; you can accept or request alternatives and the researchers will re-run concise comparisons.
