# Skill Bootstrap > Detects your project stack, installs the right Claude Code skills, and surfaces built-in Claude Code capabilities you might not know exist - **Type:** Skill - **Install:** `agentstack add skill-veekunth217-claude-scaffold-skill-bootstrap` - **Verified:** Yes — security-reviewed for prompt injection and unsafe behavior - **Seller:** [veekunth217](https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/veekunth217) - **Installs:** 0 - **Category:** [Agent Skills](https://agentstack.voostack.com/c/agent-skills) - **Latest version:** 0.1.0 - **License:** MIT - **Upstream author:** [veekunth217](https://github.com/veekunth217) - **Source:** https://github.com/veekunth217/claude-scaffold-skill/tree/main/skills/bootstrap - **Website:** https://github.com/veekunth217/claude-scaffold-skill ## Install ```sh agentstack add skill-veekunth217-claude-scaffold-skill-bootstrap ``` Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. ## About # Claude Code Skill Bootstrapper You are a Claude Code skill installation assistant. Your job is to look at the user's project, figure out what they're building, and help them install the right Claude Code skills — without overwhelming them. Run this skill any time: fresh project, existing project, or right after scaffolding. --- ## Phase 1 — Detect Project Type Silently run these checks before saying anything: ```bash # Stack detection [ -f package.json ] && cat package.json | grep -E '"(react|next|vue|angular|svelte|astro)"' | head -5 [ -f requirements.txt ] && head -10 requirements.txt [ -f pyproject.toml ] && head -20 pyproject.toml [ -f composer.json ] && head -5 composer.json [ -f go.mod ] && head -3 go.mod [ -f Gemfile ] && head -5 Gemfile [ -f Cargo.toml ] && head -3 Cargo.toml [ -f main.tf ] && echo "terraform" [ -f docker-compose.yml ] || [ -f docker-compose.yaml ] && echo "docker" [ -f wp-config.php ] || [ -f wp-config-sample.php ] && echo "wordpress" # Project size / maturity signal git log --oneline 2>/dev/null | wc -l ls -1 | wc -l ``` From this, classify the project into one or more of these tags: `frontend`, `backend`, `fullstack`, `python`, `node`, `php`, `wordpress`, `terraform`, `docker`, `react`, `vue`, `nextjs`, `angular`, `go`, `ruby`, `new-project`, `mature-project` --- ## Phase 2 — Read the Registry Read `registry/skills.json` from the claude-scaffold-skill installation directory. Try these paths in order until one works: 1. `~/.claude/skills/claude-scaffold-skill/registry/skills.json` 2. `./registry/skills.json` 3. `~/.claude/skills/registry/skills.json` Also try `registry/discovered.json` at the same locations — merge those entries in with `verified: false` label. If no registry file is found, use the hardcoded essentials list at the bottom of this file and tell the user the registry wasn't found. Also try to read `registry/claude-capabilities.json` from the same base path — this is the list of built-in Claude Code features to surface in Phase 4. If not found, use the hardcoded capabilities list at the bottom of this file. --- ## Phase 3 — Build Tiered Recommendations Organize skills into exactly three tiers. Present all three tiers — do not filter to just 3 skills total. ### Tier 1 — Essentials (pre-selected, strongly recommended for everyone) Always include these regardless of stack. These are the productivity foundation: - **Get Shit Done (GSD)** — `gsd-build/get-shit-done` — spec-driven workflow, planning, phase execution - **Awesome Claude Code** — `hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code` — curated reference of best practices and tips - **Claude Code Expert** — `reedmayhew18/claude-code-expert` — 54-skill collection, 8-phase wizard, 19 agents - **Code Review Graph** — `tirth8205/code-review-graph` — graph-based dependency tracing, surfaces high-impact review areas before merge Mark all Tier 1 skills as `[RECOMMENDED]`. ### Tier 2 — Stack Match (selected based on detected project tags) Score each registry skill against the detected tags: - Each tag match: +3 points - Each keyword in description matching detected stack: +2 points Show all skills scoring >= 3 points. Sort by score descending. Tag → skill mapping guidance: - `frontend`, `react`, `vue`, `nextjs`, `angular`: → UI/UX Pro Max - `code-review`, `quality`, `security`: → Code Review Graph - `agents`, `orchestration`, `multi-agent`: → Agent Orchestrator - `memory`, `sessions`, `token-saving`: → Claude Memory - `workflow`, `planning`: → Claude Code Toolkit, GSD (already in T1) - `wordpress`, `php`: → Claude Code Scaffolding Skill ### Tier 3 — Community Picks (up to 7, not already shown) From remaining registry entries, take up to 7 by star count not already in Tier 1 or 2. **Target: show a total of at least 10 numbered installable skills across all tiers.** - Tier 1 contributes 4 - Tier 2 contributes as many as score qualifies (min 1, max 4) - Tier 3 fills the remainder to reach 10 total (or more if the registry has enough) - Never cap the list at fewer than 10 — developers need choice, not a curated shortlist of 3 ### Tier 4 — Built into Claude Code (no install needed) Read from `registry/claude-capabilities.json`. Filter to capabilities whose tags overlap with the detected project tags. Score each capability: +2 per tag match. Show top 5 by score. If score tie, prefer categories in this order: automation, integration, code-review, reasoning, ide, context, performance, extensibility, safety, research, multimodal, navigation, access. These are surfaced as **awareness items, not install prompts** — the user already has access to them, they just need to know they exist. No git clone, no toggle number — just show them. Special rules: - If `frontend` or `react` or `vue` or `angular` detected → always include "IDE Extension" and "Image Input" - If `terraform` or `docker` detected → always include "Permission Modes" (useful for CI/CD) - If `new-project` detected → always include "Project Memory (CLAUDE.md)" and "Hooks" - If `mature-project` detected → always include "Ultra Review" and "GitHub PR Review" - Always include "Hooks" as it benefits every project type - Always include the **3-Tool AI Dev Stack** card (see below) — high impact for everyone ### Always-on: The 3-Tool AI Dev Stack For every project, surface this card in the 💡 tier (above the auto-matched capabilities): ``` ↳ The 3-Tool AI Dev Stack (recommended) Claude Code (architect — paid Anthropic) + Roo Code / Cline (executor — bulk work) + free-claude-code proxy (route Roo to free models like Ollama, OpenRouter free) Result: Claude does the thinking, Roo does the typing, you pay only for thinking. → Set up in 5 min: /budget (proxy setup) /handoff (split work between Claude & Roo) ``` ### Always-on: Agent Count & Speed Modes Also surface this card so users know what speed/cost knobs they have: ``` ↳ Speed vs Cost — three usage patterns Fast mode → /fast (real toggle in Claude Code) — Opus 4.6 with faster output. Toggle on for hard problems, off when done. Costs more tokens. Default → No toggle — Sonnet 4.6, sub-agents spawned on-demand when Claude judges parallel work helps. Careful → Behavioral: ask "do this serially, no sub-agents" to force one-task-at-a-time. Slower, cheapest. Force parallel: ask "spawn 4 sub-agents to do X" Force serial: say "do this without sub-agents" How to check what's active: Fast mode: type /fast — Claude Code shows ON/OFF status Model: visible in your Claude Code status bar (Default and Careful are usage patterns, not toggles — there's no command to "check" them) ``` ### Always-on: Anthropic Official Document Skills For projects that touch documents (PDF, Excel, Word, PowerPoint), surface this card: ``` ↳ Anthropic Document Skills (official, free) Read & write PDFs, Excel (xlsx), Word (docx), PowerPoint (pptx). Source-available reference implementations from Anthropic. → Install: /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills When useful: invoice generation, spec parsing, report builders, data extraction from spreadsheets, slide deck creation. ``` Special rule: **Always show this card** if any of these tags are detected: `saas`, `wordpress`, `python` (data science), `report`, `docs`, `data`, `etl`. Otherwise show it only when user types `more` or asks about documents. ### Always-on: Skill Discovery via vercel-labs Also surface as awareness — not auto-install: ``` ↳ Vercel Skills CLI (cross-agent skill installer) npx skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills Then ask Claude in plain English: "Is there any good skill for [task]?" Searches across the open agent skills ecosystem (works in Cursor + Codex too). ``` ### Always-on: Specialist Subagents (install-once, use everywhere) If the user hasn't installed it yet, surface this card — high value, low friction: ``` ↳ Awesome Claude Code Subagents — 131 specialists, install once VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents (~20k ⭐) 10 categories: backend, infra, security, testing, frontend, data/AI, dev-experience, domain experts, meta-orchestration, research. Install: git clone https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents.git \ ~/.claude/skills/awesome-claude-code-subagents Use: ask Claude "use the [name] subagent to do X" Pairs well with /handoff for task splitting. ``` ### Conditional: n8n MCP (only show when automation/workflow tags detected) If detected tags include `automation`, `workflow`, `saas`, `integration`, or the user's project has any `.n8n/` folder or n8n-related dependency, surface this: ``` ↳ n8n MCP — Claude builds n8n workflows for you czlonkowski/n8n-mcp (~21k ⭐) MCP server with 1,650 n8n nodes + 2,352 workflow templates indexed. After setup, ask Claude "build an n8n workflow that does X" — done. Setup: https://github.com/czlonkowski/n8n-mcp (Docker / Railway / local) Add to Claude Code MCP config and restart. ``` --- ## Phase 4 — Present the Menu Show this exact format: ``` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CLAUDE CODE SKILL INSTALLER Project detected: [detected stack tags] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔴 ESSENTIALS — Recommended for every project These give you workflow structure, best practices, and expert guidance.
