lanes: Skill for Claude Code

Initialize Development Setup

Set up the development environment on first run.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Starting work on a fresh clone
• Progress tracking files don't exist
• Resetting the project state

Setup Tasks

1. Create agent-progress.txt

Keep an existing agent-progress.txt. If only claude-progress.txt exists, rename it to agent-progress.txt and preserve its contents. If neither exists, create the progress tracking file:

# Lanes - Development Progress

## Session: [Current Date]

### Completed
- Initial project setup

### In Progress
- None

### Next Steps
- Review existing features
- Identify next feature to implement

### Blockers
- None

2. Verify Project State

Run these checks:

• npm ci - Install dependencies from the lockfile
• npm run compile - Verify TypeScript compiles
• npm test - Verify tests pass

3. Create Initial Commit (if needed)

If the task includes creating a commit and the progress file is new, stage and commit it:

git add agent-progress.txt
git commit -m "chore: initialize progress tracking file"

Constraints

• Only create files that don't already exist
• Never overwrite existing progress data
• If claude-progress.txt exists, preserve its contents when migrating it to agent-progress.txt; do not replace it with the initial template
• Verify npm test passes before completing
