Scaffold or retrofit documentation-led conventions (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONVENTIONS.md, ADR catalogue, plan/ queue, _agent/ coordination) into a repo. Use when the user asks to "set up conventions", "bootstrap ADRs", "scaffold the documentation-led layout", or "add AGENTS.md and a plan queue". Works on fresh repos and existing ones — preserves existing content and merges rather than overwrites. Opens with an express / guided / full depth choice, so a quick conservative setup needs almost no…

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

You are installing (or retrofitting) a documentation-led convention set
in the current repo. The end state is a repo that can be driven by
both humans and coding agents off a small set of canonical files. Carry
over the *mechanism* described here — nothing about any other project.

## Step 1 — Detect the situation

Inspect the repo before asking anything. Reuse explicit answers and sign-off
already supplied in this session; never replace them with profile defaults
or ask for them again. Before writing, summarise the resolved artefact root,
depth, queue, gate and coordination/integration modes against those answers.
If a host mirrors a selected folder into a sandbox, identify the actual
target path and how verified outputs reach the selected folder; never call
an untouched target complete merely because a scratch mirror passed.

- **Fresh repo** (no source, no docs): you are scaffolding from zero.
- **Existing repo**: you are retrofitting.
  - Read any current `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `AGENTS.md`,
    `CLAUDE.md`, `docs/`, `adr/`, `.github/` before proposing changes.
  - Preserve existing content. Merge, don't overwrite. If existing

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add evolvehq/docflow/bootstrap@sha256:35ca8f9609e167d0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.88129bf, 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.
