Set up one repository
Use this when you want decisions, plans and working rules in one new or existing project. You do not need a workspace.
Open in your agent: The member repository root. Stay in this repository for every step below.
Before you start
Install Docflow for your agent. Read existing project instructions. An ADR records one decision and its success checks; a plan item records the work to carry it out. Choose guided setup with a plan queue for this journey.
Choose to show your host's invocation form.
Prompt
In your agent
Use bootstrap here in guided mode, including a plan queue. Read existing instructions and preserve our current Git rules. Show the setup plan and stop for my review before writing.
How to invoke this skill
Claude Code: /bootstrap (or /docflow:bootstrap when exposed). pi / omp: /skill:bootstrap. Codex: $bootstrap or find it in /skills. OpenCode, Grok, Cursor and Copilot: select the discovered bootstrap skill. Add the task text above. These are agent inputs, not terminal commands.
Expected result
A fresh/existing assessment, proposed artefact location, files to add or merge, optional layers and commit/integration rules. Review these before approving writes. After approval, expect agent instructions, conventions, an ADR template and index, plus the selected plan queue.
Check it
Inspect the diff. Existing instructions and Git rules should be preserved, with only the approved merges. Confirm the plan queue is present. The express profile omits the queue and verify gate and defaults to direct-to-main; it is not the setup used here. The autonomous operating prompt requires both a queue and a recorded verify gate.
Explore your first decision
In your agent
Use brainstorm to explore adding passwordless sign-in. Explain the decisions and work items we would need. Keep the proposal in conversation for review.
How to invoke this skill
Claude Code: /brainstorm (or /docflow:brainstorm when exposed). pi / omp: /skill:brainstorm. Codex: $brainstorm or find it in /skills. OpenCode, Grok, Cursor and Copilot: select the discovered brainstorm skill. Add the task text above. These are agent inputs, not terminal commands.
You should see: candidate decisions and bounded work, with no numbered files yet. Replace the example feature with your own. After approving a candidate, ask new-adr to record that decision, then new-plan to queue the bounded work linked to it. Review each result; creating the record does not approve implementation automatically.
When the work is authorised and implemented, use ship-item to check it against the repository’s verify gate and completion rule. A prepared PR is still open work until that repository’s integration event is confirmed. Use audit for a read-only conventions check.
