Setup Repo

Scaffold a repository with production-grade development infrastructure: GitHub issue templates, PR template, development process documentation, TDD workflow configuration, hooks, and CI setup.

Usage

/setup-repo [--full] [--templates-only] [--hooks-only] [--process-only]

What Gets Installed

1. GitHub Issue Templates

Three structured issue templates that enforce planning discipline:

Feature Slice (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature-slice.yml)

• Why this matters
• User/operator path protected
• Behavior contract (Given/When/Then)
• Product and design spec
• Integration spec
• In scope / Out of scope
• Research and context sources
• Agent todo checklist
• Tests to add first (with expected red commands)
• TDD audit trail plan
• Regression risks
• Deploy impact
• Documentation handoff notes
• Definition of done

Bug Regression (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-regression.yml)

• Observed vs expected behavior
• Reproduction steps
• Regression test plan (smallest test + behavior proof)
• Blast radius
• Agent todo checklist
• TDD audit trail
• Documentation handoff notes
• Definition of done

Research Spike (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/research-spike.yml)

• Research question
• Options to compare
• Documentation sources (Context7 + vendor docs)
• Agent todo checklist
• Expected output (recommendation in docs/research/)

Config (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml)

• Disables blank issues
• Links to project docs index and build process

2. Pull Request Template (.github/pull_request_template.md)

Structured PR body:

• Summary with issue linkage (Closes #)
• Why / In Scope / Out of Scope
• Tests Added First (unit/integration/regression)
• Regression Risks Covered
• Docs Updated
• Verification checklist

3. Development Process Docs

docs/process/development-workflow.md

• Read context docs before work
• Plan before code
• One issue-sized branch per task
• Behavior-first TDD (Red → Green → Refactor)
• Formatting and type-check gates
• Docs updated with behavior changes

docs/process/behavior-tdd.md

• Behavior-first TDD checklist template
• Red/green commit discipline
• When separate commits are required vs optional

docs/process/github-build-process.md

• One issue per PR, one branch per issue
• PR-gated main branch
• CI gates before merge
• Deterministic tests before live systems

docs/process/regression-discipline.md

• Every bug fix requires a failing regression test first
• Mandatory for production incidents, customer bugs, auth/billing bugs
• Red/green audit trail

4. Claude Code Hooks (.claude/settings.json)

• TDD reminder hook (PreToolUse on Edit/Write of src/): Warns when modifying source without a failing test first
• Session start hook: Announces TDD-first requirement
• Learning capture hooks (Stop/SessionEnd): Gather learnings from completed work

5. Coordinator State Templates

• docs/context/current-intent.md — What we're building
• docs/context/repo-practices.md — Conventions and patterns
• docs/context/known-issues.md — Known problems
• docs/plans/active-plan.md — Current plan

Execution

When invoked:

1. Check if .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ exists — skip templates if already present (ask user)
2. Check if .claude/settings.json exists — merge hooks if present, create if not
3. Create all directories: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/, docs/process/, docs/context/, docs/plans/, docs/research/
4. Write all template and process files from the references in this skill
5. Add .coord/ to .gitignore
6. Report what was created
