Documentation

README

From the original repository

GAAI OSS Bootstrap

Use this skill when the user wants to initialize GAAI on a codebase, refresh stale memory, rebuild project context, or verify that .gaai/project/contexts/memory/ reflects the current repository.

Procedure

Read .gaai/core/GAAI.md.
Read .gaai/core/contexts/rules/base.rules.md.
Read .gaai/core/agents/bootstrap.agent.md.
Read .gaai/core/workflows/context-bootstrap.workflow.md.
Follow the workflow step by step.
Use the internal GAAI skills referenced by the Bootstrap Agent from .gaai/core/skills/; do not treat this Codex skill as a replacement for them.
Report a clear PASS or FAIL and list remaining gaps.

When bootstrap is complete, tell the user that memory is ready and that $gaai-oss:discover can be used to define governed work.
