Collapse Step 5.6 from a single-skill detector (only the superpowers@claude-plugins-official plugin) into a generic `trigger -> fulfiller` table walker that scales to every canonical CLAUDE.md trigger. Inline 9-row map in SKILL.md covers: caveman, superpowers (kind: plugin), using-wiki, using-tasks, using-projects-meta, pulling-before-work, project-discipline, using-interns, active-platform. The `kind` flag (skill | plugin) drives which install command is emitted in the chat-only recommendation block. Detection paths: ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md for skills, plugins.<id> in ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json for plugins. Algorithm: read project's CLAUDE.md -> match each non-comment line vs map (substring + tolower, mirrors Step 5 idempotent merge) -> for each canonical match check disk -> print one chat block listing every missing fulfiller with copy-pasteable install commands, OR a single "all dependencies satisfied" line. User-custom lines and removed canonical lines are silently skipped. Hard rule "never auto-install" preserved verbatim. version: 1.6.0 -> 1.7.0 (MINOR per project-discipline Rule 3 -- adds capability, absorbs prior superpowers-only detector cleanly). Closes [bootstrap-skill-deps-check] (.tasks/STATUS.md done). Closes [bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta] by absorption -- the deferred mirror task was the seed of this generalization; the generic walker now handles using-projects-meta along with everything else, no per-skill mirror needed. Design rationale at .wiki/concepts/bootstrap-skill-deps-check.md: - why generic over per-skill mirrors (5x mirror explosion) - skill vs plugin kind distinction - MCP-server-backed skills (only check using-X policy skill; setup-X self-fires via Prerequisites pointer) - source-of-truth invariant: SKILL map + assets/CLAUDE.md.template must stay in sync (a future CI lint could enforce)

# bootstrap-skill-deps-check
|
||
|
||
## Goal
|
||
Refactor `project-bootstrap` Step 5.6 (single-skill `superpowers` plugin detector) into a single, generic **Step 5.6 "Skill dependencies check"** that walks the canonical CLAUDE.md template, looks up each trigger line against a `trigger → fulfiller` map, detects what's missing on the host, and prints one chat-only block with prioritized install commands. Replaces the per-skill `Step 5.X` shape (which doesn't scale: every new canonical trigger would need its own mirror section). Subsumes the deferred `[bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta]` task — that task was the seed of this generalization. Bumps `project-bootstrap` 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 (MINOR — adds capability without breaking existing flow).
|
||
|
||
## Key files
|
||
- `skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL.md` — replace Step 5.6 contents, bump `version:` 1.6.0 → 1.7.0
|
||
- `skills/project-bootstrap/README.md` — Workflow Step 5.6 description + (optional) See also
|
||
- `skills/project-bootstrap/assets/CLAUDE.md.template` — source of truth for the trigger list (no change here, but the new step reads from it)
|
||
- `skills/project-bootstrap/assets/skill-deps-map.md` (or `.json` / inline in SKILL.md) — the `trigger → fulfiller` table; new file or inline section, decide during impl
|
||
- `.wiki/concepts/bootstrap-skill-deps-check.md` — design rationale (why generic over per-skill mirrors, kind: skill vs plugin, MCP server caveat)
|
||
- `.tasks/STATUS.md` — supersede `[bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta]`; mark this task active when started
|
||
- `dist/project-bootstrap.skill` — rebuild after changes
|
||
|
||
## Decisions log
|
||
- 2026-05-05: chose generic Step 5.6 over `Step 5.7 mirror per missing-skill` shape. Rationale: `bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta` (deferred task) + the analogous gap for `setup-interns` / `using-interns` / `pulling-before-work` / `project-discipline` would all need their own mirror sections — that's a 5×Step-5.X explosion. Single generic step reads the template (already canonical), maps each trigger to its fulfiller, prints one block.
|
||
- 2026-05-05: scope of detection is the canonical CLAUDE.md template's trigger lines. Don't try to detect arbitrary user-added lines — the project-bootstrap contract is "we own canonical triggers; non-canonical lines are user's responsibility".
|
||
- 2026-05-05: differentiate `kind: skill` (install via `bash scripts/install.sh <name>`) from `kind: plugin` (install via `/plugin install <name>@<marketplace>`). The install-command line in the chat block differs between the two; one mapping table that flags `kind` keeps the recommendation block honest.
|
||
- 2026-05-05: MCP-server-backed skills (`using-context7`, `using-projects-meta`, `using-interns`) — only check the `using-X` policy skill. If MCP isn't registered, the `using-X` Prerequisites pointer fires `setup-X` at first use; bootstrap doesn't need to duplicate that detection. Keeps the Step simple.
|
||
- 2026-05-05: hard rule from current Step 5.6 (`never auto-install`) **carries over** verbatim. Slash-commands aren't callable from a skill; silently mutating `~/.claude/skills/` is overreach. Recommendation only — chat block with copy-pasteable commands.
|
||
|
||
## Open questions
|
||
- [ ] Storage of the map: inline in SKILL.md (simplest, single source of truth), or separate `assets/skill-deps-map.md` / `.json` (cleaner, programmatically parseable)? Inline probably fine for MVP — the table is short.
|
||
- [ ] When the user pinned a non-canonical platform line (e.g. `we're on Linux` on a Windows host), the platform-line check is already handled in Step 5 idempotent merge. Step 5.6 should ignore the platform line entirely — same dependency (`active-platform` skill) regardless of which platform.
|
||
- [ ] How to handle a CLAUDE.md the user has *removed* canonical triggers from on purpose? Step 5.6 reads from `CLAUDE.md` (the actual project file), not from `template`, so removed lines silently skip the check — correct behavior. Verify in implementation.
|
||
- [ ] Optional polish: print a one-line "✅ all skill dependencies satisfied" when nothing is missing, to make the silent-success case visible. Probably worth it; very low cost.
|

|
||
## Completed steps
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: read `skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL.md` + README to confirm scope (Step 5.6 located lines 349-389; README Workflow item 5).
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: wrote `.wiki/concepts/bootstrap-skill-deps-check.md` design page (rationale, skill/plugin kind, MCP-server caveat, source-of-truth invariant).
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: replaced SKILL.md Step 5.6 in place with generic `trigger → fulfiller` map (9 rows) + algorithm + recommendation block. Hard rule "never auto-install" preserved verbatim. ✅ all-satisfied case prints one line.
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: bumped SKILL.md `version:` 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 (MINOR per project-discipline Rule 3 — adds capability, absorbs prior single-skill detector cleanly).
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: updated README.md Workflow Step 5.6 description to match the new shape.
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: rebuilt `dist/project-bootstrap.skill` via `scripts/build.sh`, reinstalled to `~/.claude/skills/project-bootstrap/` via `scripts/install.sh`; verified installed `version: 1.7.0`.
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: updated `.wiki/index.md` (added concept entry) and `.wiki/log.md` (ingest + decision lines).
|
||
- [x] 2026-05-05: closed sibling `[bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta]` 🟢 in same commit (closed by absorption — note in commit message).

## Notes
|
||
- Triggers in current template (2026-05-05) and their fulfillers — initial seed for the map:
|
||
| Trigger | Fulfiller | Kind | Install |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `talk like a caveman` | `caveman` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh caveman` |
|
||
| `use superpowers` | `superpowers@claude-plugins-official` | plugin | `/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official` |
|
||
| `use project wiki` | `using-wiki` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh using-wiki` |
|
||
| `use task management system` | `using-tasks` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh using-tasks` |
|
||
| `check across all projects` | `using-projects-meta` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh using-projects-meta` |
|
||
| `pull remote before work` | `pulling-before-work` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh pulling-before-work` |
|
||
| `follow project discipline` | `project-discipline` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh project-discipline` |
|
||
| `delegate to interns when allowed` | `using-interns` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh using-interns` |
|
||
| `we're on Windows` / `we're on Linux` / `we're on macOS` | `active-platform` | skill | `bash scripts/install.sh active-platform` |
|
||
- Detection paths: `~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` for skills; `~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json` (`plugins.<name>`) for plugins. Both paths identical on Windows / Linux / macOS under `~`.
|
||
- Once shipped, close `[bootstrap-recommend-projects-meta]` with a note pointing at the commit that absorbed it.
|
||
- Versioning per project-discipline Rule 3: 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 (MINOR — adds capability, doesn't break the existing Step-5.6 superpowers detector since it absorbs it cleanly).
