Project Starter Foundation

This skill ensures that every new web project strictly follows the starter project foundation before any code is written.

Source Location

The single source of truth for the starter project is the standardized project-starter template. Users should clone or copy the template from the designated repository or template directory.

Core Workflow

When invoked to start or plan a new web project, follow these exact steps:

1. Initialize Workspace

Copy the foundational markdown files and directory structure from the starter project into the new project workspace:

• prd.md (Product Requirements Document)
• techstack.md (Technology Stack & Architecture)
• design.md (UI/UX & System Design)
• rules.md (Project Principles and Conventions)
• AGENTS.md (Agent Roles and Automation Tasks)

2. Document First (Planning Phase)

Do not generate code immediately. First, fill out the copied documents:

• Detail the requirements in prd.md.
• Finalize the technologies and commands in techstack.md.
• Clarify the design decisions in design.md.

3. Adopt the 6 Core Principles

Enforce the following rules (R-01 to R-06) throughout the project lifecycle:

• R-01: Implementation must strictly follow documented requirements (FR, NFR).
• R-02: Choose the simplest solution that meets the needs. Justify any added complexity.
• R-03: Critical behavior must be verifiable. Ensure acceptance criteria and test steps are available.
• R-04: Maintain existing conventions and work. Avoid out-of-scope changes.
• R-05: Decisions and status reports must reflect reality, including assumptions, limitations, and failures.
• R-06: Protect data and credentials. Never commit or log secrets.

Execution

Whenever the user asks to "build a new web project" or "initialize a starter", trigger this skill to ensure the foundation is solidly laid out before proceeding to code generation or UI development.
