What it does

Repo Project Bootstrap prepares a cloned or existing repository for safe agentic development. It detects common project stacks, proposes or creates AGENTS.md and .openclaw/project-context.md scaffolding, preserves existing guidance, and recommends setup/test commands for the detected stack.

Use cases

Developers onboarding an AI agent to a fresh clone without manually writing repo instructions from scratch.
Consultants standardising client repositories with safe OpenClaw/Codex context files before first-task execution.
Team leads creating repeatable agent-readiness checks that preserve existing AGENTS.md guidance and avoid overwriting local configuration.

Requirements

Python 3.10+ with standard library only.
Local filesystem access to the target repository.
No API keys required.
OpenClaw skill runtime compatible with local Python scripts; validated in the 2026-05-17 pipeline on OpenClaw v2026.3.23.

python3 scripts/repo_bootstrap.py \
  --repo /path/to/repo \
