AI Tool: Plumb-Line Bootstrap for Project Setup

AI Tool: Plumb-Line Bootstrap for Project Setup

The AI Tool: Plumb-Line Bootstrap for Project Setup assists developers in initializing projects using the plumb-line discipline. It supports the creation of a domain-neutral ruleset by interviewing the builder to identify their source-truth layer and layering, and then setting up parameterized enforcement for the project's language. It does not introduce default layers or fabricate answers, ensuring that all configurations are builder-driven.

What this skill does

• Conducts interviews with the builder to determine the source-truth layer and the required layering strategy.
• Generates a domain-neutral ruleset tailored to the interview outcomes.
• Installs parameterized enforcement mechanisms like boundary checks, test gates, pre-commit gates, and branch guards, specific to the project's language.
• Provides two operational modes: full bootstrap and declaration-only, catering to varying project setup needs.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and software teams engaged with AI coding agents, such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, seeking a structured and methodical approach to project initialization using the plumb-line technique.

Use cases

• Initializing a new software project with a clear and disciplined architectural framework.
• Defining project architecture requirements in environments where plumb-line auditing is part of the quality assurance process.
• Ensuring precise and builder-derived configuration in project setups without introducing any assumptions or defaults.

Technical details

• Utilizes the capabilities of AI tools such as ai-tooling and aiapplication to support the plumb-line-bootstrap process.
• Designed to work with AI coding platforms such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Factories the ruleset based on comprehensive interview inputs without proceeding from memory when critical files are unavailable.
