Super Bootstrap

super-bootstrap

Skip the per-project Claude setup grind. One command picks your skills, writes CLAUDE.md, pins your config, and gives Claude a phase-gated workflow — every session runs the superpowers pipeline, but only the phases the work actually needs. Workflow, not just a toolbelt.

Best for

Solo devs juggling multiple repos.

Install

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add rockyhong/super-bootstrap
/plugin install super-bootstrap@super-bootstrap

Use

/super-bootstrap

One command per repo. Auto-routes:

• Pre-existing repo → scans stack, asks a few clarifying Qs, scaffolds CLAUDE.md + docs, curates skills / MCPs / hooks.
• Greenfield → lean ideation Q&A seeds foundation docs with first move queued, then scaffolds the harness.

Picks are matched to your stack and labeled by trust signal (Anthropic-vetted / popular / fresh / unaudited).

Re-run any time — incremental, never overwrites your edits.

How files are handled

| Path | Behavior | |---|---| | CLAUDE.md | Layered per-section — never overwritten. Diff shown before any write. | | .claude/settings.json | Merged — adds enabledPlugins + extraKnownMarketplaces; your other settings preserved. | | docs/, .claude/rules/ | Seeded with new files from detected stack. User-grown content never touched on re-run. | | .claude/hooks/ | Installed by default — five hook assets: docsync-gate (PreToolUse) blocks git commit until this session's doc-sync scan has run (token is session-scoped + 30-min TTL; drain-managed worktrees under .claude/worktrees/ pass through); docsync-scan enumerates the doc-sync surface and self-stamps the gate token by running; harness-grounding injects a grounding checklist on harness-file edits, never blocks; entry-nudge (UserPromptSubmit) injects a one-line card-grounded-entry pointer on every prompt, never blocks; commit-channel (PreToolUse) confines raw git commit to the commit agent + main session — worker subagents are routed back to /super-bootstrap:commit. | | .claude/super-bootstrap-runway.json | Version-stamped — records the plugin version that scaffolded/synced this runway. On re-run a stale or missing stamp forces a full drift re-check (no "looks current" skim). | | .env*, *.key, *credential* | Skipped from scan entirely — never read, never written. |

Also bundles /super-bootstrap:todo (intent-filtered work board), /super-bootstrap:log (capture observations into the backlog), /super-bootstrap:commit (session-isolated, doc-sync-gated), /super-bootstrap:merge (absorb feature branches; aborts + surfaces on conflict), and /super-bootstrap:help (index of installed user-invoke skills) — all namespaced under super-bootstrap: so plugin manager disambiguates collisions automatically. The /super-bootstrap entry stays bare (plugin-name == skill-name special case).

Optional bonus: /super-bootstrap:release-init — one-shot scaffolder. Detects project type (unity / tauri / node / ios-native / android-native / generic) and generates a tailored /release skill at .claude/skills/release/SKILL.md (project-level skill, bare invocation since it lives in the user's repo, not under this plugin's namespace). Run only on repos that ship versioned releases.
