bootstrap from elmayii/cdev is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when a repository must be conditioned for continuous autonomous development (CDev) — a new repo, an existing one without docs/develop/, or a re-audit of one already conditioned; when the user asks to "bootstrap", "condition this repo for cdev", "prepare it so /cdev can work alone", "condicionar para cdev" — for any role (backend, frontend, other), with or without a folder of source docs.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Bootstrap (CDev)
Conditions one repository for autonomous execution with an **elevated autonomy threshold**: the
agent that later runs `/cdev` stops only at real blockages, never to ask "now what?". Two
mandatory halves — skipping the second is what makes autonomy dangerous:
- **Half A — Structure:** write the CDev machinery into the repo, adapted to what the repo
actually is.
- **Half B — Clarity:** audit how far it is clear *what* must be produced; clarity bounds
autonomy.
Idempotent: on an already conditioned repo it acts as an audit and proposes diffs, never
overwrites silently.
Base material: the package's `templates/` (placeholder contract in `templates/PLACEHOLDERS.md`;
zero unresolved `{{` at the end) and the role profiles in `profiles/` — resolve this skill's
base directory to its **real path first** (dereference junctions/symlinks), then both live at
`../../` from there.
## Resolve the role
Inspect before assuming: own schema/services and no UI → **backend** (`profiles/backend.md`);
consumes an external backend and renders UI → **frontend** (`profiles/frontend.md`); both or

How to install
mdr add elmayii/cdev/bootstrap@sha256:eb5fcf55777d0638The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.3aeef27, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
