Design and validate a new SaaS's architecture into an INSTALL.md via Q&A and stack comparison.

  • The user starts a project
  • SKILL.md covers Actions, Transversal rules, References and Assets
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Chooses a stack

What it does

01 Bootstrap is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Design and validate a new SaaS's architecture into an INSTALL.md via Q&A and stack comparison. Use when the user starts a project, chooses a stack, or picks an architecture pattern. Not for editing an existing stack or scaffolding code.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `actions/01-gather-needs.md`, `actions/02-propose-candidates.md` and `actions/03-audit-candidates.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding and Software architecture. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user starts a project
  • Chooses a stack
  • Picks an architecture pattern

Example prompts

  • “/01-bootstrap”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

01 Bootstrap loads about 701 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bootstrap

Plays the role of technical architect for a new SaaS project. Walks the user through a 24-item checklist (18 user-input + 6 derived), proposes 2-3 candidate stacks, audits each via parallel agents, then produces aidd_docs/INSTALL.md capturing the technical vision, decisions, stack, architecture pattern, folder tree, and install steps. Documentation only: no code, no scaffolding.

Actions

#ActionRoleInput
01gather-needsQ&A across the 24-item checklistuser intent
02propose-candidatesDerive 2-3 candidate stacks, render comparison tablefilled checklist
03audit-candidatesSpawn parallel agents to validate each candidate, emit verdictcandidates table
04pick-and-designUser picks winner; generate folder tree + Mermaid diagramaudit report
05write-install-mdProduce aidd_docs/INSTALL.mddesign + decisions

Run 01 → 02 → 03 → 04 → 05. The audit (03) gates: if every candidate fails, loop back to 02 or 01. Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.

Transversal rules

  • No file scaffolding. This skill writes only aidd_docs/INSTALL.md. It never creates package.json, source files, or empty directories.
  • Anti-sycophancy. When the user expresses a stack preference that conflicts with their needs (e.g. wants Mongo for heavily relational data), challenge it before accepting: surface audit concerns and ask whether the user has a mitigation plan.
  • Recommend opinionated, not encyclopedic. Each action proposes 2-3 options max, never a long catalog. The user should leave with a concrete decision, not a research paper.
  • Stop on full checklist. Action 01 keeps asking until the 18 user-input items (blocks 1-3) are filled; the 6 derived items (block 4) are filled across actions 02 and 04.
  • Apply heuristics from references/stack-heuristics.md when proposing candidates.

References

  • references/stack-heuristics.md - input → recommended-stack-family heuristics

Assets

  • assets/checklist.md - the 24-item checklist (4 blocks)
  • assets/install-template.md - the INSTALL.md skeleton

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/01-bootstrap, .gemini/skills/01-bootstrap, .github/skills/01-bootstrap and .opencode/skills/01-bootstrap in your project.

What does 01 Bootstrap need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: 01 Bootstrap is instructions for the agent only.

Does 01 Bootstrap access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is 01 Bootstrap safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
