## Procedure

1. The project is generated next to this repository, at `../<artifactId>`
   (`project-bootstrap` § Where the project is born). If `--name` is given and the listing above
   shows that name, check it with `ls -a` on that directory. If it holds `pom.xml` or
   `build.gradle`, **do not initialize**: report what you found and suggest `/new-feature` from
   a session opened in that directory. Stop here.
2. **Interview — every question of the run, here, before delegating.** The agent runs in the
   background, where `AskUserQuestion` does not exist; a question it needs mid-run is a hand-back,
   a resume over its whole context, and a user who cannot leave the terminal
   (`@.claude/lessons-learned/lessons-learned-020.md` § 6). Read every blueprint listed above in
   one response, in parallel. Skip any question the arguments already answer. Up to three
   `AskUserQuestion` calls:
   - **First call.** *Architecture* — every blueprint by `id`, each with its `when_to_choose` and
     a `trade_off` from the YAML itself, written in the question text; up to four of them as
     options, the rest typed by `id` under Other. Never a list written by hand. *Build* — Maven or
     Gradle. *Features* — REST, JPA + Flyway, Kafka, SQS, OpenAPI, Testcontainers, Actuator
     (multi-select): an active feature is a dependency and its configuration, never business
     code (`@.claude/decisions/0011-bootstrap-without-business-code.md`); ArchUnit and coverage are
     not asked, `test-architect` installs them later. *artifactId* — typed under Other.
   - **Second call.** *groupId*, *project name* and *bounded context* (default: the artifactId;
     the first segment of every topic name, and nothing else in the project declares it).
     *Transport topology* — the first question of `transport-security-setup` § 2, read from that
     file, with its options. *SonarQube* — the two questions of `sonarqube-setup` § 2, read from
     that file, with their options. Those skills own their questions; this step asks them earlier
     and never rewrites them.
   - **Third call, only when an answer needs its follow-up.** The second question set of
     `transport-security-setup` § 2 for the chosen topology; a server URL or SonarCloud
     organization when the Sonar answer named an existing server.

   A free-text answer that comes back incomplete — `groupId` without `artifactId` — is asked
   again, alone, before delegating.
3. Delegate to the `project-initializer` agent, passing the arguments and **every** answer of
   step 2, by name: blueprint, coordinates, project name, bounded context, build tool, features,
   transport topology and its follow-up, Sonar server and authentication. The agent asks
   nothing; a missing answer makes it stop with `blocked: missing <field>`, and then the field
   is asked here and the agent is resumed once. The agent exists for two of the three legitimate
   reasons: generation produces verbose output that shouldn't fill this conversation, and it
   runs with a restricted set of tools.
4. Return the agent's report without rewriting it — the format is fixed in the
   § Output contract of `.claude/skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL.md`.
5. **Fill the genesis record**, once the report says the project was created:

   ```bash
   java .claude/hooks/ArchHook.java audit genesis "<absolute path of the generated project>" <session id above>
   ```

   It replaces Started, Finished, tokens and cost in the project's
   `.claude/audit-usage/GENESIS.md` from this session's transcripts — this conversation since the
   `/init-project` message and every agent run — priced from the project's `pricing.json`. Show
   its four lines. A non-zero exit says why; report that line, and never write the values
   yourself. Before step 6, so the first commit carries the filled record.
6. Chain `git-publish` once the report says the project was created, and only then, with
   `project: <absolute path of the generated project>` in its context. This skill is its only
   caller after a generation: the agent no longer chains it.
7. End by telling the user to open a new session in the generated project
   (`cd ../<artifactId> && claude`). That session loads the project's own `settings.json` and
   hooks; this one keeps this repository's.

## Why this is a manually-invoked skill

Form 2: creating a project is a ritual a person starts (axis 2 — `/init-project`), and the
interview it leads to cannot be triggered by inference from a sentence. Form 1 was rejected
for exactly that: a skill that can scaffold a whole tree on the model's own judgment is a
directory rewritten by accident. Form 3 was rejected here and used one level down instead —
the isolation belongs to the generation, which is why `project-initializer` exists, and the
interview belongs here, in the main session, the only place `AskUserQuestion` is guaranteed
(`@.claude/decisions/0123-lessons-learned-020-init-project-run.md`).

Runs on `sonnet` with `effort: low`: the interview reads its questions from the blueprints and from the two chained skills, and the generation is delegated to `project-initializer`, which declares its own model (`@.claude/decisions/0081-skill-model-required-per-class.md`).

## Contract

**Class:** orchestrator — the territory is `skill_classes.orchestrator`'s override for this
skill in `@.claude/schemas/extensions.json`, and it is **empty**: this skill writes no file
itself. Everything is written by `project-initializer`, which the guard bypasses as an
executor agent, and by `project-bootstrap` under it. `ArchHook.java guard` enforces it. The one
write it causes is `audit genesis` replacing four placeholders in the generated project's
`GENESIS.md`, outside this repository — done by the hook's code, never by a `Write`.

**Reads** the blueprint listing and the listing of this repository's parent directory injected
above, every blueprint YAML for the interview, the § 2 questions of `transport-security-setup`
and `sonarqube-setup`, and the arguments.

**Owns** the interview of a project's first generation. The questions about transport and Sonar
stay owned by their skills; this one only asks them before the agent starts.

**Delegates** to `project-initializer` — never generates a file inline, not even a single
`pom.xml`. A partial generation from this thread is the failure mode the agent exists to
prevent: the report would describe a tree nobody wrote in full.
