Skip the per-project Claude setup grind. One command picks your skills, writes CLAUDE.md, pins your config, and gives Claude a phase-gated workflow — every session runs the pipeline, but only the phases the work actually needs. Workflow, not just a toolbelt. The harness names disciplines, not skills, so it does not marry you to any one process-harness plugin.
Solo devs juggling multiple repos — agentic builders, not just coders. The harness carries product context (problem, user, gap cards) alongside the engineering pipeline, because a codebase answers solution only.
In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add rockyhong/super-bootstrap
/plugin install super-bootstrap@super-bootstrap
/super-bootstrap
One command per repo. Auto-routes:
The runway installs or syncs first either way — no product Q&A at any point. What follows depends on whether the seed docs already carry product content:
- Seed docs substantive → curates skills / MCPs / hooks against the stack those docs already declare.
- Seed docs unfilled (greenfield) → seeds three GAP cards (overview, techstack, tech curation) and stops at the resolve gate; curation waits until the product is settled.
Picks are matched to your stack and labeled by trust signal (Anthropic-vetted / popular / fresh / unaudited).

Re-run any time — incremental, never overwrites your edits.
| Path | Behavior |
|---|---|
CLAUDE.md |
Layered per-section — never overwritten. Diff shown before any write. |
.claude/settings.json |
Merged — adds enabledPlugins + extraKnownMarketplaces; your other settings preserved. |
docs/, .claude/rules/ |
Seeded with new files from detected stack. User-grown content never touched on re-run. |
.claude/hooks/ |
Installed by default — three hook assets: commit-channel (PreToolUse) confines raw git commit to the main-session commit door — worker subagents are routed back to /super-bootstrap:commit, which runs commit mechanics gateway-inline, runs a bundled link-integrity check every commit, and dispatches a cold doc-sync scan on a grep, declared-citer, or link-target hit and a premise-closure judge on a product-anchor hit. The consult-check pair (SessionStart + UserPromptSubmit) derives a compact docs/** catalog once per session and injects a forced per-doc relevance evaluation at every prompt — the read boundary's activation layer. |
.claude/super-bootstrap-runway.json |
Coverage receipt — records the plugin version that scaffolded/synced this runway plus which sections that sync actually checked — compared, or proposed for insert (covered / declined). On re-run a stale or missing stamp — or a matching version with coverage gaps — forces a full drift re-check (no "looks current" skim). |
.env*, *.key, *credential* |
Skipped from scan entirely — never read, never written. |
Also bundles /super-bootstrap:todo (intent-filtered work board), /super-bootstrap:log (capture observations as work cards), /super-bootstrap:commit (session-isolated, doc-sync-gated), /super-bootstrap:merge (absorb feature branches; aborts + surfaces on conflict), and /super-bootstrap:help (index of installed user-invoke skills) — all namespaced under super-bootstrap: so plugin manager disambiguates collisions automatically. The /super-bootstrap entry stays bare (plugin-name == skill-name special case).
Optional bonus: /super-bootstrap:release-init — one-shot scaffolder. Detects project type (unity / tauri / node / ios-native / android-native / generic) and generates a tailored /release skill at .claude/skills/release/SKILL.md (project-level skill, bare invocation since it lives in the user's repo, not under this plugin's namespace). Run only on repos that ship versioned releases.
| Tool | Role |
|---|---|
| mattpocock/skills | Paired process harness, auto-pinned in .claude/settings.json — and droppable per repo: set its enabledPlugins value to false and it stays dropped. Nothing scaffolded names his commands, so dropping him needs no doc change and breaks no door. |
| superpowers | Alternative process harness — an ordinary curation candidate, not pinned. The scaffolded CLAUDE.md names disciplines (root cause before fix, settle the design, write the sequence), so any harness slots in without the harness knowing its name. |
