Use when setting up a new repository or bringing an existing one up to Infinite Room Labs conventions -- routes to the template-repo cut-and-fill flow for new repos, applies the harness/toolchain delta to existing ones, and hands off to /new-goal-loop.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Follow the checklist in the new repo's README.md, section "Using this template": replace the six placeholders, pin the toolchain in …

    line 17
  2. Distinctive:

    Add configuration the project does not need yet, install dependencies, or write a placeholder README.

    line 38

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Project Onboard

A router, not a scaffolder. The canonical layout lives in InfiniteRoomLabs/template-repo and is tested there; this skill never re-implements it.

1. New repo

  1. Cut it from InfiniteRoomLabs/template-repo ("Use this template" on GitHub, or gh repo create <org>/<name> --template InfiniteRoomLabs/template-repo --private).
  2. Follow the checklist in the new repo's README.md, section "Using this template": replace the six placeholders, pin the toolchain in mise.toml, fill the gate steps in scripts/check.sh, describe the system in docs/architecture/model.c4, mise run arch:gen, truncate CHANGELOG.md, delete the section.
  3. mise install && mise run check must be green before the first push.
  4. Run /new-goal-loop <what you are building>.

2. Existing repo

Apply the delta by copying from a fresh clone of template-repo; do not hand-author these:

  • .claude/settings.json (marketplaces + default plugins + enabledMcpjsonServers) and .claude/.gitignore; then the .gitignore allowlist lines (.claude/*, !.claude/.gitignore, !.claude/settings.json) and secret/tool wiring ignores (fnox.toml, mise.local.toml, .env*, .envrc, .worktrees/).
  • .claudeignore (must not blanket-ignore .claude/).
  • mise.toml (merge into an existing one: keep the repo's tools, add [tasks.check] and the arch:* tasks) and scripts/check.sh, scripts/arch-gen.sh, scripts/redaction-check.sh.
  • docs/architecture/ (config + spec.c4/model.c4/views.c4) and .mcp.json.
  • CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog, [Unreleased] on top) and LICENSE if missing.
  • Merge the template's CLAUDE.md sections (First run, Toolchain, Working conventions, Architecture, Gotchas) into the repo's own, keeping its project-specific content. Add the thin AGENTS.md Codex pointer.

Then mise run check green, and /new-goal-loop to install the treadmill.

Do not

  • Duplicate the treadmill artifacts (GOAL.md, docs/phases/_templates/, docs/progress.md); skills/new-goal-loop/templates/ is their only source.
  • Blanket-ignore .claude/ -- that hides load-bearing settings and hooks (reversed in infra 2026-08-27).
  • Add configuration the project does not need yet, install dependencies, or write a placeholder README.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
