At a glance

Meta-skill chaining /specify → /constitute → /plan → /tasks → spec-validation → dispatch-ready.

  • SKILL.md covers Phases, How to execute, Phase F gate and Definition of done
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bootstrap is an agent skill from papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops. Meta-skill chaining /specify → /constitute → /plan → /tasks → spec-validation → dispatch-ready. Greenfield project from idea to parallel-dev-ready in one flow. Halts with clear remediation if any phase fails the DoD gate.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 3-tier agentic ChatOps (n8n + GPT-4o + Claude Code) implementing all 21 patterns from "Agentic Design Patterns" — solo operator managing 137 devices.

Example prompts

  • “/bootstrap”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, AskUserQuestion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 473f057. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 144 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~837

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, AskUserQuestion

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 144 words (~837 tokens).

“This is the orchestrator skill. It runs the 5-phase bootstrap sequence and halts cleanly at any phase-gate failure, with explicit instructions for the operator on how to remediate.”

How do I install Bootstrap in Claude Code?

Or copy the skill folder (bootstrap-pack/.claude/skills/bootstrap in papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops) into .claude/skills/bootstrap in your project.

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 papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops --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. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, AskUserQuestion.

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 notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Bootstrap use?

How many tokens does Bootstrap use?

About 837 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
