Use when starting, scaffolding, or setting up a new repository for the T4 team (T4 Labs / Slow-Inc) — or retrofitting an existing one — so an agent-primary repo gets the team's standard operating layer (domain glossary, product brief, decision records, durable memory, dev workflow) in one pass instead of hand-copying docs from a sibling repo. Triggers include "set up a new T4 project", "scaffold the docs/conventions", "add CLAUDE.md + docs/agents", "bootstrap the governance layer…

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

# T4 Project Bootstrap

## Overview

The T4 team (T4 Labs / `Slow-Inc`) runs several repos — MangaDock, T4-Fastwork, and more — where **the coding agent is the primary developer**. They share one operating standard, built so an agent keeps context across sessions and compaction. This skill scaffolds that standard into a new (or under-documented) repo in one pass.

**Core principle:** the standard is agent infrastructure, not team paperwork. You are installing the files a future agent will read at session start to know *what the words mean, why the code is the way it is, what's still open, and how to ship*. Copy the structure and rules; fill `<PLACEHOLDER>` tokens with this project's specifics; never carry another project's domain content across.

This skill owns the **domain + product layer** and orchestrates the install. The ongoing-use disciplines are sibling skills — install their files here, but read them for the how:

- **`using-t4`** — the entry-point map routing a task to the right skill below. The repo's `CLAUDE.md` should point a fresh agent here first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add xenodeve/xeno-skills/t4-project-bootstrap@sha256:31925d889588c0b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.4c4dbf3, 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.
