Bootstrap Phase Workflow

Integrate the two-phase (vibe → mature) development workflow into the current project. The phase-workflow repo is located at ../phase-workflow relative to the target project.

Steps

1. Copy scaffold files

Copy everything from ../phase-workflow/scaffold/ into the project root, preserving directory structure:

• .claude/phase
• .claude/settings.json
• .claude/skills/vibe/SKILL.md
• .claude/skills/phase/SKILL.md
• .husky/pre-commit
• .husky/commit-msg
• .lintstagedrc.json
• commitlint.config.js

Make .husky/pre-commit and .husky/commit-msg executable.

If .claude/settings.json already exists, merge the hooks from the scaffold into the existing file rather than overwriting.

2. Detect project structure

Read through the project to determine:

• Entry points: Find the main entry files (e.g., src/main.tsx, src/index.ts, api/*.ts). Look at existing package.json scripts and tsconfig*.json for hints.
• Source directories: Identify which directories contain source code (e.g., src/, api/, lib/).
• TSConfig files: Find tsconfig files used for different source directories (e.g., tsconfig.app.json, tsconfig.api.json).
• Existing ESLint config: Check if one already exists.

3. Generate knip.json

Read ../phase-workflow/templates/knip.json as a reference. Create knip.json in the project root with the detected entry points and project globs.

4. Generate eslint.config.js

Read ../phase-workflow/templates/eslint.config.js as a reference. Create eslint.config.js adapted to the project:

• One config block per source directory
• Each block references the correct tsconfig
• Frontend blocks include react-hooks and react-refresh plugins
• Backend/API blocks omit react plugins
• All blocks use strictTypeChecked

If the project already has an ESLint config, upgrade it to strictTypeChecked and add the phase-workflow rules rather than replacing it entirely.

5. Copy mature skill

Copy ../phase-workflow/templates/mature-SKILL.md to .claude/skills/mature/SKILL.md.

6. Update package.json

Read ../phase-workflow/templates/devDependencies.json and ../phase-workflow/templates/scripts.json. Merge them into the project's package.json:

• Add missing devDependencies (don't overwrite existing versions)
• Add missing scripts (don't overwrite existing scripts)
• Ensure "prepare": "husky" is present

7. Install dependencies

Run npm install.

8. Generate CLAUDE.md

If the project doesn't have a CLAUDE.md, create one. If it does, add the phase workflow section.

The CLAUDE.md should include:

• Two-Phase Development Model section (copy from the scaffold — this is standard)
• Architecture section — generate a text diagram by reading through the project's source files
• Project Structure section — list the key directories and what they contain
• Conventions section — note TypeScript strict mode, ESLint strictTypeChecked, complexity limit, and any project-specific patterns observed
• TypeScript Design Guidance section (copy from the scaffold — this is standard):
  • Prefer discriminated unions over boolean flags
  • Use satisfies over as
  • Let TypeScript infer return types
  • Type-narrow errors in catch blocks
  • Avoid ! non-null assertions

9. Confirm

Tell the user what was set up and that the project is now in vibe phase. Mention that /vibe, /mature, and /phase skills are available.
