What Bootstrap does

Generates a detailed user profile through a structured 5-8 round onboarding conversation, adapting to the user's language and style. Use when setting up a new agent or refreshing an agent's understanding of the user.

Bootstrap is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Bootstrap comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-memory, agent-skill, agent-skills and agentic-ai.

Excerpt

Bootstrap Profile

A conversational onboarding skill. Through 5–8 adaptive rounds, extract who the user is and what they need, then generate a tight .poirot/profile.md that defines the agent's working relationship with this user.

Poirot note: The original deer-flow skill generates a SOUL.md via a setup_agent tool. Poirot has no setup_agent tool or SOUL.md concept. This version generates .poirot/profile.md (a user profile) via write_file.
