from-scratch-bootstrap
Most recent maintenance signal among this shortlist.
| Signal | from-scratch-bootstrap Stand up a brand-new project from an empty (or near-empty) repo through the nine-phase from-scratch protocol — brainstorm, skeleton, grill, research, architecture, verification baseline, specify first slice, test-first the first slice, deliver. Use whenever a project does not yet exist, the repo is empty, no docs/graph/plans/grill.md exists, or you are about to write `mkdir my-project && cd`. The first day disproportionately shapes the project; this skill prevents skipping the load-bearing steps. | Academic Research Skills Academic Research Skills for Claude Code: research → write → review → revise → finalize |
