Automated summary

Runs a fixed four-step ACMC bootstrap on a Python workspace: creates the .acmc, artifacts and config directories, copies dev and deployment env templates plus a heartbeat script, and generates artifacts/rapport_onboarding.json.

Strengths

  • Deterministic, ordered steps with each command run in a separate bash invocation
  • Files come from templates shipped with the skill, keeping defaults consistent across repos
  • Ends with a machine-readable JSON report (artifacts/rapport_onboarding.json) that doubles as a success check
  • Works on empty clones such as TinyDB

Limitations

  • Hard-codes ACMC conventions and paths, so it is not reusable for other project layouts
  • Requires the skill to be installed at ~/.claude/skills/dev-onboarding and run via /dev-onboarding (relies on CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR)
  • The copy steps overwrite any existing dev.env.sh and deployment.env, and no real secrets or values are filled in
When to use it

Use it when starting on a fresh or empty Python clone that must follow the ACMC engineering standards.

When not to use it

Avoid it on non-ACMC projects or repos that are already bootstrapped, where copying the templates would overwrite existing config.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score82/100

The skill performs legitimate local setup actions such as creating directories, copying templates, chmod, and running a Python report script. There is no evidence of destructive commands, obfuscation, network exfiltration, or secret transmission. However, the broad Bash(*) permission and execution of bundled scripts warrant a caution rating rather than safe.

Findings
  • •Declares Bash(*) which permits arbitrary shell commands beyond the documented bootstrap steps.
  • •Runs a bundled Python script apply_defaults_v3.py without describing what it does or showing its contents.
  • •Copies env templates into the workspace and makes a heartbeat script executable; ensure templates contain no real secrets and are not committed accidentally.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Bootstrap an empty clone
/dev-onboarding — bootstrap this empty TinyDB Python clone with the ACMC defaults.
Set up workspace and report
Run /dev-onboarding on this workspace so .acmc, config and artifacts exist and artifacts/rapport_onboarding.json gets written.

name: dev-onboarding description: Bootstrap ACMC Python repo defaults (.acmc, config, rapport). allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read

dev-onboarding

Standard ACMC bootstrap for a Python workspace (including empty clones like TinyDB).

Prerequisite: this repo is installed at ~/.claude/skills/dev-onboarding (see README). Run only via /dev-onboarding.

Reference: rules/acmc_engineering_standards.md.

Step 1 — directories

mkdir -p .acmc artifacts config

Step 2 — dev env

cp "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/dev.env.sh.example" .acmc/dev.env.sh

Separate bash invocation before step 3.

Step 3 — deployment template

cp "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/templates/deployment.env.example" config/deployment.env
cp "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/catalog_heartbeat.sh" .acmc/catalog_heartbeat.sh
chmod +x .acmc/catalog_heartbeat.sh

Separate bash invocation before step 4.

Step 4 — defaults report

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/apply_defaults_v3.py" report

Separate bash invocation. Writes artifacts/rapport_onboarding.json.

Done

Check artifacts/rapport_onboarding.json exists. Summarize what was created for the user.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/download' --output '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash(*), Read

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/dev-onboarding' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf' '.claude/skills/dev-onboarding'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf'

openskills read 'acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/acmc-python-repo-bootstrap-mrx3xwsf/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
