ck:bootstrap

ck:bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code from manhvann/codexkit. It costs 40 tokens per session (949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for starting a new software project from requirements through planning, implementation, testing, review, and documentation. It can research options, choose a technology stack, and shape the project's design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bootstrap a new application in full, automatic, fast, or parallel mode, including projects such as dashboards, SaaS products, and online shops.
Why use it?
It turns a broad project idea into an organised development process and can adjust how much interaction or research is used.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ck:bootstrap scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bootstrap - New Project Scaffolding

End-to-end project bootstrapping from idea to running code.

Principles: YAGNI, KISS, DRY | Token efficiency | Concise reports

Usage

$bootstrap <user-requirements>

Flags (optional, default --auto):

Flag Mode Thinking User Gates Planning Skill Cook Skill
--full Full interactive Ultrathink Every phase --hard (interactive)
--auto Automatic Ultrathink Design only --auto --auto
--fast Quick Think hard None --fast --auto
--parallel Multi-agent Ultrathink Design only --parallel --parallel

Example:

$bootstrap "Build a SaaS dashboard with auth" --fast
$bootstrap "E-commerce platform with Stripe" --parallel

Workflow Overview

[Git Init] → [Research?] → [Tech Stack?] → [Design?] → [Planning] → [Implementation] → [Test] → [Review] → [Docs] → [Onboard] → [Final]

Each mode loads a specific workflow reference + shared phases.

Mode Detection

If no flag provided, default to --auto.

Load the appropriate workflow reference:

  • --full: Load references/workflow-full.md
  • --auto: Load references/workflow-auto.md
  • --fast: Load references/workflow-fast.md
  • --parallel: Load references/workflow-parallel.md

All modes share: Load references/shared-phases.md for implementation through final report.

Step 0: Git Init (ALL modes)

Check if Git initialized. If not:

  • --full: Ask user if they want to init → git_manager subagent (main branch)
  • Others: Auto-init via git_manager subagent (main branch)

Skill Triggers (MANDATORY)

After early phases (research, tech stack, design), trigger downstream skills:

Planning Phase

Activate ck:plan skill with mode-appropriate flag:

  • --full → ck:plan --hard <requirements> (thorough research + validation)
  • --auto → ck:plan --auto <requirements> (auto-detect complexity)
  • --fast → ck:plan --fast <requirements> (skip research)
  • --parallel → ck:plan --parallel <requirements> (file ownership + dependency graph)

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
