# Project Bootstrap
Bootstrap a new project with foundational artifacts following AI-Assisted Project Orchestration best practices. Implements the **Tiered Bootstrap** pattern with three graduation tiers (t0/t1/t2) so that decision rationale is captured at decision-time and tier promotion is reformatting, not archaeology.
## When to Use
- Starting a new software project (pick a tier appropriate to scope)
- Promoting an existing project from a lower tier to a higher one
- Converting an existing project to follow best practices
- Setting up a project for AI-assisted development
> **Pattern Reference**: See [TIERED-BOOTSTRAP](https://github.com/jrjsmrtn/ai-assisted-project-orchestration/blob/develop/docs/patterns/inception/tiered-bootstrap.md) for the underlying pattern, including knowledge-preservation argument and the comparison with spec-driven development tools.
## Required Inputs
Before running this skill, gather from the user:
1. **Project name** (kebab-case, e.g., `my-awesome-project`)
2. **Project description** (1-2 sentences)
3. **Tier** (graduation level — see [Tier Selection](#tier-selection) below):
- **t0** — minimum viable foundation (CLAUDE.md + git + conventional-commits)
- **t1** — decision-tracked project (+ foundation ADRs + pre-commit + changelog)
- **t2** — full pattern language (+ Diátaxis + C4 + sprint cadence + roadmap) — **default**
4. **Project category**:
- **Development**: Software (applications, libraries, services)
- **Infrastr
