This skill sets up a new project from the growth boilerplate template. It works in two modes depending on context.
Step 0: Detect mode
Check if the current directory contains the boilerplate template by looking for {{PROJECT_NAME}} in package.json .
-
If placeholders are found: you're inside a template project. Skip to Step 2.
-
If not found (or package.json doesn't exist): you need to create the repo first. Start at Step 1.
Step 1: Create the repository (global mode only)
Use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask all of these in a single prompt:
-
Project name (kebab-case, e.g. my-cool-tool )
-
One-line description
-
Whether to use the current directory or create a new subdirectory
The repo is always created under the aem-growth-adoption org as private. Do not ask for the org.
Then check if gh CLI is available by running gh --version .
If gh is not available, install it automatically:
brew install gh
If brew is not available either, install Homebrew first:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Then install gh with brew install gh .
After installing gh , or if gh is available but not authenticated (check with gh auth status ), log in non-interactively with pre-selected defaults:
gh auth login --hostname github.com --git-protocol https --web
This chooses GitHub.com, HTTPS protocol, and opens the browser for authentication — no interactive prompts. Tell the user to complete the login in the browser window that opens, then wait for confirmation before continuing.
Once gh is installed and authenticated, run the appropriate commands based on the answers already collected above. Do not ask again.
If the user chose current directory:
gh repo create aem-growth-adoption/<project-name> --template aem-growth-adoption/team-boilerplate --private
Then clone into the current directory. Use git clone ... . only if the directory is truly empty. Otherwise (e.g. a .claude directory exists), use this approach instead:
git init git remote add origin https://github.com/aem-growth-adoption/<project-name>.git git fetch origin git checkout -b main origin/main
If the user chose new subdirectory:
gh repo create aem-growth-adoption/<project-name> --template aem-growth-adoption/team-boilerplate --private --clone cd <project-name>
After the repo is created and files are present, continue to Step 2.
Step 2: Ask for project info (if not already collected)
If you didn't already ask in Step 1, use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask for:
-
Project name (kebab-case, e.g. my-cool-tool )
-
One-line description of the project
Step 3: Replace placeholders
Replace in these files:
-
package.json : replace {{PROJECT_NAME}} with the project name and {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}} with the description
-
wrangler.jsonc : replace {{PROJECT_NAME}} with the project name
-
AGENTS.md : replace {{PROJECT_NAME}} and {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}
-
index.html : replace {{PROJECT_NAME}}
-
app.jsx : replace {{PROJECT_NAME}} and {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}
Note: CLAUDE.md imports AGENTS.md via @AGENTS.md , so it doesn't need separate replacement.
Then, redesign app.jsx to be a visually appealing landing page for the project using React Spectrum components. The page should reflect the project's purpose based on its name and description. Be creative — use Spectrum layout components (Flex , Grid , View ), typography (Heading , Text ), and interactive elements (Button , Well , Divider , etc.) to make it look polished and professional. Keep it a single file.
Rewrite README.md
Replace the entire README.md with a project-specific version. Remove all boilerplate/template references (no mentions of "boilerplate", "template", skill installation, or gh repo create --template ). The new README should contain:
-
Title: the project name as an h1
-
Description: the one-line project description
-
Stack table: same tech stack table (Workers, Hono, Zero Trust, KV, React Spectrum, Vite)
-
Project Structure: updated tree — exclude .claude/skills/ (it gets deleted in Step 4). Include worker/ , knowledge-base/ , index.html , app.jsx , vite.config.js , CLAUDE.md , AGENTS.md
-
Development section: npm run dev , npm run build , npm run deploy
-
Knowledge Base section: link to the markdown files in knowledge-base/
Do not include a production URL yet — that gets added after deploy in Step 8.
Step 4: Remove boilerplate skills
Delete the .claude/skills/ directory — it contains skills (setup , teardown ) that belong to the boilerplate template and are not needed in the new project.
Do NOT delete .claude/settings.json — it contains the Cloudflare plugin configuration that the new project needs. Only remove the skills/ subdirectory:
rm -rf .claude/skills
Step 5: Git setup
Stage all files and create an initial commit: Initial commit for <project-name>
Step 6: Install dependencies
The project requires the Node version specified in .nvmrc . Before installing, ensure the correct version is active:
nvm install npm install
If nvm is not available, attempt to install it first:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" nvm install
If that also fails, check node --version against .nvmrc and warn the user about the version mismatch.
Step 7: Deploy
Run npm run deploy to build and deploy the project to Cloudflare Workers. Share the live URL with the user from the deploy output.
After a successful deploy, update README.md to add the production URL. Add it directly below the project description as a link, e.g.:
Live: https://<project-name>.<subdomain>.workers.dev
Use the actual URL from the deploy output. Stage and amend the most recent commit (or create a small Add production URL to README commit).
Note: If the user's Cloudflare account has access to multiple accounts, they should set CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID before running wrangler commands (e.g. export CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=<account-id> ). Mention this if wrangler prompts for an account choice or fails with an account-related error. If wrangler fails because the user is not logged in, tell them to run npx wrangler login and re-run /setup from this step.
Step 7a: Register with Access
Clone aem-growth-adoption/access-apps (if not already cloned). Add an entry to apps.json :
{ "name": "<project-name>", "status": "active" }
Commit and push. GitHub Actions will create the Access app and set CF_ACCESS_AUD on the worker.
Step 7b: Push to GitHub
Push all local commits to the remote:
git push origin main
This ensures the repo on GitHub reflects the customized project (placeholder replacements, KV config, production URL, etc.).
Step 8: Done
Tell the user what was done automatically vs. what's left:
-
Done: Deployed to Cloudflare Workers (KV namespace auto-provisioned), pushed to GitHub, Access app registered (or pending CI)
-
Auth is handled by Cloudflare Zero Trust — CF_ACCESS_AUD is set automatically via the access-apps repo
-
Run npm run dev for local development
Share the key links:
-
Live: the production URL from the deploy output
-
Repo: https://github.com/aem-growth-adoption/<project-name>
Point them to knowledge-base/ for more on project conventions.
