What it does

Bootstrap is an agent skill from woocommerce/woocommerce-ios. Install dependencies and build tools for WooCommerce iOS

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with WooCommerce, iOS, Ruby and Xcode. The licence is GPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve iOS development

Example prompts

  • “/bootstrap”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Report the failing step and error output
  2. If Bundler::GemNotFound or wrong Ruby version errors appear, ensure the correct Ruby version is active and retry
  3. If a8c-secrets decrypt fails, the decryption key is missing or stale — it does not block building or testing, only internal credentials…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b061662. 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:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bundle
    • rbenv
    • ruby

    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 378 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378

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: Bash, Read

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 the local environment for WooCommerce iOS.

First, check the required Xcode version and select it if available:

bash
cat .xcode-version   # check required version
xcode-select -p      # check currently selected Xcode

If the selected Xcode doesn't match, look for the required version under /Applications/ and switch to it via xcode-select -s <path>. If it's not installed, note this to the user and proceed with the currently selected Xcode.

Then, ensure the correct Ruby version is active. The required version is in .ruby-version. Detect which Ruby version manager is available and use it:

  • rvm: rvm install ruby-$(cat .ruby-version) && rvm use ruby-$(cat .ruby-version)
  • rbenv: rbenv install $(cat .ruby-version) && rbenv local $(cat .ruby-version)
  • chruby / mise: activate the version from .ruby-version using the appropriate command

Verify with ruby --version before proceeding.

Then run the dependency install command:

bash
bundle install && bundle exec rake dependencies

If the command fails:

  1. Report the failing step and error output
  2. If Bundler::GemNotFound or wrong Ruby version errors appear, ensure the correct Ruby version is active and retry
  3. If a8c-secrets decrypt fails, the decryption key is missing or stale — it does not block building or testing, only internal credentials are missing
