gaai-oss:bootstrap

Initialize or refresh a project's memory and context for the GAAI system.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/gaai-oss-bootstrap-fr-e-d/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Initialize or refresh a project's GAAI OSS memory by activating the Bootstrap Agent and context-bootstrap workflow.

What this skill does

GAAI OSS Bootstrap

Use this skill when the user wants to initialize GAAI on a codebase, refresh stale memory, rebuild project context, or verify that .gaai/project/contexts/memory/ reflects the current repository.

Procedure

  1. Read .gaai/core/GAAI.md.
  2. Read .gaai/core/contexts/rules/base.rules.md.
  3. Read .gaai/core/agents/bootstrap.agent.md.
  4. Read .gaai/core/workflows/context-bootstrap.workflow.md.
  5. Follow the workflow step by step.
  6. Use the internal GAAI skills referenced by the Bootstrap Agent from .gaai/core/skills/; do not treat this Codex skill as a replacement for them.
  7. Report a clear PASS or FAIL and list remaining gaps.

When bootstrap is complete, tell the user that memory is ready and that $gaai-oss:discover can be used to define governed work.
