Full project bootstrap - interviews the developer (name, description, stack, components), then scaffolds directory structure, CLAUDE.md, config files, hooks, skills, and first commit.

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

# New Project Bootstrap

<!-- Mirrors AGENT.md in the agent-starter repo. If guides change, update this skill to match. -->

Use when starting a new project from scratch. Scaffolds a complete AI-friendly project following the agent-starter patterns: feature-based directory structure, CLAUDE.md with memory taxonomy, config files, optional hooks and skills, first commit.

For existing projects, use `/adopt-project` instead.

## Phase 0: Detect what's already installed

Hooks and skills install **system-wide** under `~/.claude/`, so they're shared
across every project. Detect them first and never ask about components that are
already present. Run:

```bash
# Hooks: install.sh stamps this file with the installed version
HOOKS_VER=$( [ -f ~/.claude/hooks/.agent-starter-version ] && cat ~/.claude/hooks/.agent-starter-version || echo "" )
HOOKS_N=$( ls ~/.claude/hooks/*.sh 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ' )

# Skills: the starter skills this bootstrap installs
for s in commit commit-push-pr simplify remember dream new-project adopt-project reflect; do
  [ -d ~/.claude/skills/$s ] && echo "skill:$s present" || echo "skill:$s missing"
done
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sneg55/agent-starter/new-project@sha256:f866ea48f850c46b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.f2706e7, 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.
