What it does

Bootstrap Example is an agent skill from luxonis/oak-examples. Bootstrap an OAK project from an example in oak-examples. Use when the user wants to copy, extract, start, scaffold, or create a host-script or standalone app/project from an existing repository example, especially for oakctl app create handoff or customization.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py`). Compatibility notes: Requires Python 3 and git. Uses an accessible luxonis/oak-examples checkout or shallow-clones the public repository when needed.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Example projects we've done with OAK cameras. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to copy
  • Create a host-script
  • Standalone app/project from an existing repository example
  • Especially for oakctl app create handoff

Example prompts

  • “/bootstrap-example”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3 and git. Uses an accessible luxonis/oak-examples checkout or shallow-clones the public repository when needed.

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify the target app before choosing an example: task, required hardware, host-script vs standalone mode, UI needs, model/inference…
  2. Before selecting an example, run the helper with --print-index to acquire the local checkout path and INDEX.md path. This command uses the…
  3. Read the printed index: path and identify candidate examples. The index links are relative to the printed repo: path; resolve those paths…
  4. Choose a new output directory for the generated project. For installable-skill usage, default to a new subdirectory under the user's…
  5. Run this skill's bundled helper.
  6. Use --repo /path/to/oak-examples when the user already has a preferred checkout, or when you need to clone into a specific location.
  7. Inspect the generated project's AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and LICENSE; confirm they link to ESSENTIAL_KNOWLEDGE.md, any ## Related Examples…
  8. If the copied example includes its own top-level license files or explicit third-party headers, keep those terms instead of assuming…
  9. Tell the user where the project was created, that oakapp.toml identifier was changed if present, and that dependencies, hardware…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a440e7. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires Python 3 and git. Uses an accessible luxonis/oak-examples checkout or shallow-clones the public repository when needed.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Bootstrap Example loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 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
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Bootstrap Example

Use this skill when the user wants to copy, extract, bootstrap, or start an OAK project from an example in oak-examples.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the target app before choosing an example: task, required hardware, host-script vs standalone mode, UI needs, model/inference needs, streaming/output needs, and whether the user wants the smallest scaffold or closest production-shaped app.
  2. Before selecting an example, run the helper with --print-index to acquire the local checkout path and INDEX.md path. This command uses the current checkout when available; otherwise it shallow-clones https://github.com/luxonis/oak-examples.git into a local cache with --depth 1 from the default branch main:
bash
python3 scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py --print-index
  1. Read the printed index: path and identify candidate examples. The index links are relative to the printed repo: path; resolve those paths locally and read the candidate AGENTS.md files before choosing. Prefer the closest task and hardware match first, then the closest execution shape.
  2. Choose a new output directory for the generated project. For installable-skill usage, default to a new subdirectory under the user's current working directory, such as ./raw-stream-app; do not write directly into the current directory. The output directory must not already exist.
  3. Run this skill's bundled helper.
bash
python3 scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py <example-path> ./<new-project-dir>
  1. Use --repo /path/to/oak-examples when the user already has a preferred checkout, or when you need to clone into a specific location.
bash
python3 scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py --repo /tmp/oak-examples <example-path> ./<new-project-dir>
  1. Inspect the generated project's AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and LICENSE; confirm they link to ESSENTIAL_KNOWLEDGE.md, any ## Related Examples links use GitHub main URLs, and whether bootstrap copied the repo root license or preserved example-specific license files.
  2. If the copied example includes its own top-level license files or explicit third-party headers, keep those terms instead of assuming Apache-2.0 applies uniformly.
  3. Tell the user where the project was created, that oakapp.toml identifier was changed if present, and that dependencies, hardware compatibility, runtime validation, and final license review still need to be handled separately.

Example

bash
python3 scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py custom-frontend/raw-stream ./raw-stream-app

Available Scripts

  • scripts/bootstrap_from_example.py: finds or shallow-clones oak-examples, prints the local INDEX.md path with --print-index, copies an example into a new project, writes AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, copies ESSENTIAL_KNOWLEDGE.md, carries over the repo root LICENSE when the example does not already provide a top-level license file, converts cross-example links to GitHub main URLs, and rewrites oakapp.toml identifiers.

Selection Checklist

  • Task: detection, depth, streaming, frontend, ROS, C++, calibration, measurement, or integration.
  • Hardware: RVC2/RVC4, stereo, ToF, thermal, IMU, autofocus, or multi-device requirements.
  • Mode: host script, standalone OAK App, or both.
  • Shape: minimal scaffold, packaged app, frontend/backend app, ROS workspace, C++ app, or evaluation tool.
  • Inputs/outputs: camera/media input, model choice, visualization, service/API, stream protocol, or dataset/export target.

Safety

  • Never overwrite an existing output directory. Ask the user for a new path instead.
  • Do not edit the source example while bootstrapping unless the user separately asked for repository changes.
  • Do not claim the generated project is runnable until dependencies and hardware requirements are checked.
