Initialize Project

Purpose

This skill automates the initial setup of a new project derived from this template. It leverages AI capabilities to directly modify project metadata and documentation by replacing placeholders, ensuring a clean start for a new repository.

Instructions

Gather Information: Ask the user for:
- New project name (e.g.,
```
my-awesome-app
```
  )
- Project description
- Author name
- (Optional) GitHub repository URL
Update Project Metadata: Directly update the following files using the
```
Write
```
or
```
StrReplace
```
tools:
- ```
package.json
```
  : Update
```
name
```
  ,
```
description
```
  , and
```
author
```
  .
- ```
packages/common/package.json
```
  : Update the package name to match the new scope (e.g.,
```
@new-name/common
```
  ).
- ```
.trunk/trunk.yaml
```
  : If there are template-specific references, update them.
Update README Placeholders: Use the
```
StrReplace
```
tool to replace the placeholders in
```
README.md
```
with the gathered information:
- ```
{PROJECT_NAME}
```
  -> New project name
- ```
{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}
```
  -> Project description
- ```
{LICENSE}
```
  ->
```
ISC
```
  (or other preferred license)
Install Dependencies: Run
```
pnpm install
```
to update the lockfile with the new package names.
Final Cleanup: Remove the initialization skill and its related files once bootstrapping is complete, if requested by the user.

Examples

Example 1: Initializing a new CLI tool

Input: User says "Initialize this project as 'json-fixer', a CLI tool to fix broken JSON files." Action:

Gather details from the user (Name: json-fixer, Description: A CLI tool to fix broken JSON files, Author: [Author Name]).
Update
```
package.json
```
with the new metadata.

Use

StrReplace

README.md

to swap

{PROJECT_NAME}

{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}

, and

{LICENSE}

with the actual values.

Run
```
pnpm install
```
.
