What it does
Bootstrap is an agent skill from Citrus-bit/Anaxa. Generate a personalized SOUL.md through a warm, adaptive onboarding conversation. Trigger when the user wants to create, set up, or initialize their AI partner's identity, or when a SOUL.md is missing. Also trigger for updates to an existing SOUL.md or AI personality.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/conversation-guide.md` and `templates/SOUL.template.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Anaxa 是一个面向科研工作流的开源智能体系统。它不是单纯的聊天机器人，也不是无人监管的自动发论文机器，而是把文献检索、证据审计、实验执行、论文写作、同行评审式检查和最终产物打包放进同一个可追踪的研究生命周期中。 The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
The user wants to create
Initialize their AI partners identity
A SOUL.md is missing
Updates to an existing SOUL.md
Example prompts
“/bootstrap”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
1Start with this file and the user's request.
2Read references/conversation-guide.md only when you need phase-by-phase wording or pacing guidance.
3Read templates/SOUL.template.md only before generating or revising the final SOUL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d57c708. 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
Bootstrap loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references· SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k
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.
Download SKILL.mdSave it as .claude/skills/bootstrap/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 2 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.

Bootstrap Soul
A conversational onboarding skill. Through 5–8 adaptive rounds, extract who the user is and what they need, then generate a tight SOUL.md that defines their AI partner.
Architecture
bootstrap/
├── SKILL.md ← You are here. Core logic and flow.
├── templates/SOUL.template.md ← Output template. Read before generating.
└── references/conversation-guide.md ← Detailed conversation strategies. Read when needed.
Use progressive loading:
Start with this file and the user's request.
Read references/conversation-guide.md only when you need phase-by-phase wording or pacing guidance.
Read templates/SOUL.template.md only before generating or revising the final SOUL.md.
Ground Rules
One phase at a time. 1–3 questions max per round. Never dump everything upfront.
Converse, don't interrogate. React genuinely — surprise, humor, curiosity, gentle pushback. Mirror their energy and vocabulary.
Progressive warmth. Each round should feel more informed than the last. By Phase 3, the user should feel understood.
Adapt pacing. Terse user → probe with warmth. Verbose user → acknowledge, distill, advance.
Never expose the template. The user is having a conversation, not filling out a form.
Conversation Phases
The conversation has 4 phases. Each phase may span 1–3 rounds depending on how much the user shares. Skip or merge phases if the user volunteers information early.

Key Extractions
1. Hello
Language + first impression
Preferred language
2. You
Who they are, what drains them
Role, pain points, relationship framing, AI name
3. Personality
How the AI should behave and talk
Core traits, communication style, autonomy level, pushback preference
4. Depth
Aspirations, blind spots, dealbreakers
Long-term vision, failure philosophy, boundaries
Phase details and conversation strategies are in references/conversation-guide.md.
Extraction Tracker
Mentally track these fields as the conversation progresses. You need all required fields before generating.

If the user is direct and thorough, you can reach generation in 5 rounds. If they're exploratory, take up to 8. Never exceed 8 — if you're still missing fields, make your best inference and confirm.

Generation
Once you have enough information:
Read templates/SOUL.template.md if you haven't already.
Generate the SOUL.md following the template structure exactly.
Present it warmly and ask for confirmation. Frame it as "here's [Name] on paper — does this feel right?"
Iterate until the user confirms.
Call the setup_agent tool with the confirmed SOUL.md content and a one-line description:

When should I use Bootstrap?
Bootstrap fits situations like: the user wants to create; initialize their AI partners identity; A SOUL.md is missing; updates to an existing SOUL.md.
How do I install Bootstrap in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill bootstrap -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/public/bootstrap in Citrus-bit/Anaxa) into .claude/skills/bootstrap in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Bootstrap in Codex?
Run `npx skills add Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill bootstrap -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/public/bootstrap in Citrus-bit/Anaxa) into .agents/skills/bootstrap in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Bootstrap in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Citrus-bit/Anaxa --skill bootstrap -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/bootstrap, .gemini/skills/bootstrap, .github/skills/bootstrap and .opencode/skills/bootstrap in your project.
What does Bootstrap need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Bootstrap is instructions for the agent only.
Does 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 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.
What licence does Bootstrap use?
Bootstrap is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Bootstrap use?
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Bootstrap?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Bootstrap: Canvas Templates (PostHog/code, 179 stars), Spline 3D Integration (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Building Agent Systems (telagod/code-abyss, 244 stars) and Prompt Engineer (majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, 666 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Bootstrap?
Citrus-bit (a GitHub user) maintains it in Citrus-bit/Anaxa, which has 120 GitHub stars. The repository holds 15 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 7, 2026.
