About this skill

Setup FormSG AI Skills

Scaffold the per-repo configuration that the engineering skills assume:

  • Ticket tracker — where tickets live (GitHub by default; local markdown is also supported out of the box)
  • Triage labels — the strings used for the five canonical triage roles
  • Domain docs — where CONTEXT.md and ADRs live, and the consumer rules for reading them
  • Review prep — the repo's commit style and breadcrumb convention, consumed by tdd (writer) and prepare-for-review (reader)

This is a prompt-driven skill, not a deterministic script. Explore, present what you found, confirm with the user, then write.

Process

1. Explore

Look at the current repo to understand its starting state. Read whatever exists; don't assume:

  • git remote -v and .git/config — is this a GitHub repo? Which one?
  • AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md at the repo root — does either exist? Is there already an ## Agent skills section in either?
  • CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo root
  • docs/adr/ and any src/*/docs/adr/ directories
  • docs/agents/ — does this skill's prior output already exist?
  • .scratch/ — sign that a local-markdown ticket tracker convention is already in use

2. Present findings and ask

Summarise what's present and what's missing. Then walk the user through the four decisions one at a time — present a section, get the user's answer, then move to the next. Don't dump them all at once.

Assume the user does not know what these terms mean. Each section starts with a short explainer (what it is, why these skills need it, what changes if they pick differently). Then show the choices and the default.

Section A — Ticket tracker.

Explainer: The "ticket tracker" is where tickets live for this repo. Skills like to-tickets and to-spec read from and write to it — they need to know whether to call gh issue create, write a markdown file under .scratch/, or follow some other workflow you describe. Pick the place you actually track work for this repo.

Default posture: these skills were designed for GitHub. If a git remote points at GitHub, propose that. Otherwise (or if the user prefers), offer:

  • GitHub — tickets live in the repo's GitHub Issues (uses the gh CLI)
  • Local markdown — tickets live as files under .scratch/<feature>/ in this repo (good for solo projects or repos without a remote)
  • Other (Jira, Linear, etc.) — ask the user to describe the workflow in one paragraph; the skill will record it as freeform prose

Section B — Triage label vocabulary.

Explainer: Tickets move through a state machine — needs evaluation, waiting on reporter, ready for an AFK agent to pick up, ready for a human, or won't fix. To do that, skills need to apply labels (or the equivalent in your ticket tracker) that match strings you've actually configured. If your repo already uses different label names (e.g. bug:triage instead of needs-triage), map them here so the skills apply the right ones instead of creating duplicates.

The five canonical roles:

  • needs-triage — maintainer needs to evaluate
  • needs-info — waiting on reporter
  • ready-for-agent — fully specified, AFK-ready (an agent can pick it up with no human context)
  • ready-for-human — needs human implementation
  • wontfix — will not be actioned

Default: each role's string equals its name. Ask the user if they want to override any. If their ticket tracker has no existing labels, the defaults are fine.

Section C — Domain docs.

Explainer: Some skills (improve-codebase-architecture, tdd) read a CONTEXT.md file to learn the project's domain language, and docs/adr/ for past architectural decisions. They need to know whether the repo has one global context or multiple (e.g. a monorepo with separate frontend/backend contexts) so they look in the right place.

Confirm the layout:

  • Single-context — one CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root. Most repos are this.
  • Multi-context — CONTEXT-MAP.md at the root pointing to per-context CONTEXT.md files (typically a monorepo).

Section D — Review prep.

Explainer: The implementation skills (tdd and successors) follow two project conventions: a commit style (so reviewers can read commits one at a time) and a breadcrumb convention (the agent writes short decision notes to .scratch/<feature>/decisions.md as it works). prepare-for-review later turns those notes into PR-body bullets and inline review comments — so reviewers see real rationale captured at the moment of choice, not reconstructed afterwards.

Bundled as one section because the two settings are always adopted together. Skim the seed templates with the user; let them edit before writing:

  • docs/agents/commit-style.md — one logical change per commit.
  • docs/agents/decisions-breadcrumb.md — breadcrumb schema with examples.

3. Confirm and edit

Show the user a draft of:

  • The ## Agent skills block to add to whichever of CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md is being edited (see step 4 for selection rules)
  • The contents of docs/agents/ticket-tracker.md, docs/agents/triage-labels.md, docs/agents/domain.md, docs/agents/commit-style.md, docs/agents/decisions-breadcrumb.md

Let them edit before writing.

4. Write

Pick the file to edit:

  • If CLAUDE.md exists, edit it.
  • Else if AGENTS.md exists, edit it.
  • If neither exists, ask the user which one to create — don't pick for them.

Never create AGENTS.md when CLAUDE.md already exists (or vice versa) — always edit the one that's already there.

If an ## Agent skills block already exists in the chosen file, update its contents in-place rather than appending a duplicate. Don't overwrite user edits to the surrounding sections.

The block:

## Agent skills

### Ticket tracker

[one-line summary of where tickets are tracked]. See `docs/agents/ticket-tracker.md`.

### Triage labels

[one-line summary of the label vocabulary]. See `docs/agents/triage-labels.md`.

### Domain docs

[one-line summary of layout — "single-context" or "multi-context"]. See `docs/agents/domain.md`.

### Review prep

Commit style and breadcrumb convention for review-ready PRs. See `docs/agents/commit-style.md` and `docs/agents/decisions-breadcrumb.md`.

Then write the docs files using the seed templates in this skill folder as a starting point:

For "other" ticket trackers, write docs/agents/ticket-tracker.md from scratch using the user's description.

5. Done

Tell the user the setup is complete and which engineering skills will now read from these files. Mention they can edit docs/agents/*.md directly later — re-running this skill is only necessary if they want to switch ticket trackers or restart from scratch.
