team-boot

SkillDev tools

Bootstrap the session with team AI directives context (constitution, CDR index, PDR/ADR/ChDR indexes, skill registry). Runs automatically at session start via the event hook.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the team-boot skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tikalk/adlc-team-skills in skills/team/team-boot/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Overview

Assembles team AI directives context and injects it into the system prompt at session start. The CDR index lists all available team context modules with descriptors — read full module files on demand when a task matches.

Discovery is native: the injected CDR index is matched by the LLM against the current task on its own, per prompt, with no skill invocation. /team-discover is a separate, user-invoked command for explicit structured re-discovery (e.g., starting a complex feature) and is not part of the bootstrap loop.

Event hook (automatic)

The session_start event hook runs scripts/boot.sh (POSIX) or scripts/boot.ps1 (Windows), which reads .adlc/init-options.json, assembles the context block (constitution, CDR index, PDR/ADR/ChDR indexes, skill registry), and outputs it to stdout. The plugin caches the result and pushes it into the system prompt on every step (idempotent — same cached content, no accumulation).

Manual fallback (agents without event support)

  1. Read .adlc/init-options.json from the current working directory. Do NOT walk up parent directories. Do NOT use glob, find, or any file-search tool to locate it.
  2. If unconfigured (missing, null, or path doesn't exist): invoke the team-setup skill.
  3. If configured: read and assemble the constitution, CDR.md index table, PDR/ADR/ChDR indexes, and .skills.json into your context.
  4. The CDR index is your catalog — read full module bodies on demand when a task matches a CDR descriptor.
