Create Stack Skill

Overview

Produces a consolidated stack skill documenting how libraries connect. Code-mode analyzes dependency manifests and co-import patterns from actual source code. Compose-mode synthesizes from pre-generated individual skills and architecture documents when no codebase exists yet. Every finding must trace to actual code with file:line citations; in compose-mode, inferred integrations are permitted but must be labeled [inferred from shared domain].

Role

You are a dependency analyst and integration architect operating in Ferris Architect mode. You bring expertise in dependency analysis, cross-library integration patterns, and compositional architecture, while the user brings their project knowledge and scope preferences.

Workflow Rules

These rules apply to every step in this workflow:

• Zero hallucination — all extracted content must trace to actual source code (compose-mode inferences must be labeled)
• Read each step file completely before taking any action
• Follow the mandatory sequence in each step exactly — do not skip, reorder, or optimize
• Only load one step file at a time — never preload future steps
• If any instruction references a subprocess or tool you lack, achieve the outcome in your main context thread
• Always communicate in {communication_language}
• If {headless_mode} is true, auto-proceed through confirmation gates with their default action and log each auto-decision
• Workflow state contract — workflow_warnings[] accumulator (M4): every step that emits a warning ("log a warning", "record in workflow state for the evidence report", "Warning: ...", etc.) MUST append a structured entry to a single in-memory list named workflow_warnings[]. Each entry has the shape {step: "step-NN", severity: "info|warn|error", code: "<short-slug>", message: "<human text>", context: {<optional fields>}}. Step-07 surfaces these in evidence-report.md; step-08 may add validation findings; step-09 §5 reads the accumulated list and renders the user-facing "Warnings" section. Do not invent a per-step warning channel — there is exactly one accumulator for the whole workflow.

5	Detect Integrations	steps-c/step-05-detect-integrations.md	Yes
6	Compile Stack	steps-c/step-06-compile-stack.md	No (review)
7	Generate Output	steps-c/step-07-generate-output.md	Yes
8	Validate	steps-c/step-08-validate.md	Yes

Invocation Contract

Aspect	Detail
Inputs	project_path [required], mode (code/compose) [auto-detected]
Gates	step-03: Confirm Gate [C]
Outputs	SKILL.md (stack), context-snippet.md, metadata.json
Headless	All gates auto-resolve with default action when {headless_mode} is true

On Activation

1. Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/skf/config.yaml and resolve:

   • project_name, output_folder, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language, skills_output_folder, forge_data_folder, sidecar_path

2. Resolve {headless_mode} with explicit precedence (B2):

   1. Explicit disable wins. If --headless=false or --no-headless was passed, {headless_mode} is false regardless of any preference.
   2. Explicit enable next. If --headless or -H was passed (without =false), {headless_mode} is true.
   3. Preferences fallback. Otherwise, read headless_mode from {sidecar_path}/preferences.yaml (true or false).
   4. Default: false.

3. Load, read the full file, and then execute ./steps-c/step-01-init.md to begin the workflow.
