# Repository Bootstrap
Two-phase skill for bootstrapping new repositories after an onboarding conversation has established project context.
## Phases
| Phase | Trigger | Actions |
|-------|---------|---------|
| **Scaffold** | "scaffold the repo", "create structure" | Create directories, place `README-pending.md` placeholders |
| **Hydrate** | "hydrate", "write the READMEs", "flesh out" | Write README, interior READMEs, memory-bank files |
## Phase 1: Scaffold
**Prerequisites:** Onboarding conversation complete. You understand the project's purpose, structure, and scope.
**Actions:**
1. Confirm the repo path (should be `D:\development-repositories\{project}\repo\{repo-name}\`)
2. Propose directory structure based on onboarding discussion — present as tree for approval
3. On approval, create directories using FS MCP tools
4. Place `README-pending.md` (empty file) in every directory that needs a README
5. Report what was created
**Directory creation pattern:**
```
For each directory:
1. Create directory
2. Create empty README-pending.md inside it
```
**Do not create:**
- Files that already exist
- Directories that already exist (check first)
- Content in `.kilocode/` (template handles this)
## Phase 2: Hydrate
**Prerequisites:**
- Scaffold phase complete
- Templates copied to `docs/templates/` (user does this manually)
- Same conversation or sufficient context about the project
**Actions:**
1. Read templates from `docs/templates/`:
- `template-interior-
