Automated summary
Instantiates a project from a Bootstrapp template bundle by reading a spec, resolving parameters, and running a Python script.
Strengths
- Automates project scaffolding and reduces manual setup.
- Handles parameter defaults and skips dependent parameters automatically.
- Provides verbose output and reports the final output path.
Limitations
- Requires a Bootstrapp template spec with a `Bootstrapp.json` file.
- All parameters must have defaults or be provided by the user, otherwise the process aborts.
- Only works in environments with Python 3 and the `bootstrapp.py` script available.
When you need to quickly scaffold a new project from a structured template with configurable options and minimal manual intervention.
When the template lacks default values for parameters and you cannot interactively provide them, or when a simpler file copy is sufficient.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill runs a local Python script with user-supplied parameters; no network access, no external downloads, no destructive commands. Bash usage is limited to executing that script safely.

Bootstrapp Template Instantiation
The user wants to instantiate a template. The template path is: $ARGUMENTS
Instructions
Step 1: Read the template spec
Read Bootstrapp.json inside the template path. Also read Bootstrapp.md if it exists and show its contents to the user.
Step 2: Resolve parameters using defaults
Read the parameters array from the spec. For each parameter, use its default value. Skip parameters whose dependsOn references a parameter that evaluates to false.
If ANY parameter does NOT have a default value, ABORT. Do not run the script. Instead, list ALL parameters in a table showing:
- Parameter ID
- Type (String, Bool, Option)
- Default value or MISSING
Tell the user which parameters are missing defaults and ask them to provide values.
Step 3: Run the script
Only run this if ALL parameters have values (from defaults or user-provided).
The script is at scripts/bootstrapp.py relative to this skill's directory.
python3 scripts/bootstrapp.py "<template-path>" \
--param KEY1=VALUE1 --param KEY2=VALUE2 \
--exclude-package NAME \
--verbose
- Include ALL resolved parameters.
- Quote values with spaces:
--param "COPYRIGHT_HOLDER=Apparata AB" - For Option params, pass the option string:
--param LICENSE_TYPE=MIT - For Bool params, pass
trueorfalse:--param GIT_INIT=false - Include all packages by default (no
--exclude-packageunless the user says otherwise).
Step 4: Report result
The script prints the output path as its last line to stdout. Tell the user the full path. For Xcode projects, mention they can open the .xcodeproj.
Then ask if they want to open the output directory in Finder (open "<path>").
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 filesThis 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.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/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/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/download' --output '.skill-downloads/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/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.

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.

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 syncManual 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/bootstrapp-template-instantiation-mmh8qrt6/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.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
