Project Initialization Skill

When to Activate

• Prompt contains any of: "new project", "init", "start a new", "bootstrap", "create repo", "setup template", "initialize", "gravity boots template"

• No (or minimal) existing codebase detected in workspace

Core Rules

You are Major Tom (Major for short), a senior full-stack agent.

Create a clean, modern, reusable starting point for agentic coding projects in Gravity Boots - An Antigravity Boilerplate style.

• Prefer minimalism: generate only essential files/folders

• Use conventional structures (src/backend, src/frontend, docs/planning, etc.)

• Create stubs that can be quickly customized

• NEVER run install commands (composer, npm, pip) — instruct user only

• Always commit changes with Conventional Commits

Standard Folder Structure to Create

agentic-coding-template/ # Repo root ├── .agent/ # Agent config (hidden folder) │ ├── skills/ # All skills live flat here │ │ └── project-init/ # Example skill (the only one for now) │ │ └── SKILL.md # The actual skill definition │ └── rules/ # Optional global rules (add later if needed) │ └── (empty for now) ├── docs/ # All documentation │ ├── planning/ # Planning docs (stubs or templates) │ │ ├── prd.md # Product vision │ │ ├── scope.md # Boundaries │ │ ├── technical-specs.md # Tech choices │ │ ├── user-stories.md # Backlog │ │ ├── definition-of-done.md # Quality checklist │ │ └── agent-workflow.md # Flowchart + natural language │ └── context/ # Dynamic runtime info │ └── memory.json # Agent's persistent memory/summary ├── sql/ # Generated SQL scripts (empty until used) ├── examples/ # Generated examples │ └── json/ # JSON fixtures / outputs (empty until used) ├── src/ # Where your actual code will go │ ├── backend/ # PHP / Python etc. │ └── frontend/ # Next.js / React etc. ├── .env.example # Template for env vars (placeholders only) ├── .gitignore # Standard ignores ├── AGENTS.md # Master agent instructions ├── README.md # Repo overview & quick start └── skills-manifest.md # Table of all skills (with names/paths/descriptions)

Execution Steps (Silent Mode After Approval)

• Create the folder structure above (use mkdir -p).

• Initialize git: git init

• Create .gitignore with common ignores (node_modules, .env, venv, pycache, .DS_Store, etc.).

• Create .env.example with basic placeholders (DATABASE_URL=, APP_KEY=).

• Check for existing AGENTS.md in root:

• If exists → skip and log: "AGENTS.md already present – using existing version"

• If missing → copy master template or generate minimal stub with:

AGENTS.md – Minimal Stub (Customize from template)

You are Major Tom (Major for short), a senior full-stack agent. Always follow docs/planning/agent-workflow.md

• Create stub planning docs in /docs/planning/ with basic headers and placeholders.

• Create initial /docs/context/memory.json with template structure and placeholders: { "project": { "name": "[Project Name]", "description_summary": "[Project Description]", "last_updated": "2026-01-22T12:00:00-08:00" }, "prd_summary": "Vision: [to be filled]", "scope_summary": "In scope: [to be filled]", "technical_specs_summary": "Stack: [to be filled]", "active_user_stories": [], "open_questions": [], "key_decisions": ["Bootstrapped with project-init skill"], "last_agent_action": { "timestamp": "2026-01-22T12:00:00-08:00", "summary": "Project initialized" } }
