What init Does

  3. Auto-populates project context from repo metadata (package.json, git info, stack)
  4. Detects your project stack (TypeScript, Next.js, Prisma, Docker, etc.)
  5. Copies relevant skills, agents, and rules to .bootspring/assets/

Stack Detection

init scans your project root for common config files and tags your stack automatically:

DetectedFiles checked
TypeScripttsconfig.json, tsconfig.base.json
Nodepackage.json
Pythonrequirements.txt, pyproject.toml, setup.py
Gogo.mod
RustCargo.toml
Next.jsnext.config.js, next.config.ts, next.config.mjs
Vue/Nuxtnuxt.config.ts, nuxt.config.js
Sveltesvelte.config.js, svelte.config.ts
Prismaprisma/schema.prisma
DockerDockerfile, docker-compose.yml
Tailwindtailwind.config.js, tailwind.config.ts
Vitestvitest.config.ts, vitest.config.js

Detected tags determine which skills, agents, and rules are copied to .bootspring/assets/.
