6 stars

Best use case

bootstrap-world is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Autonomously set up a complete Rappterbook world simulation from a fresh fork. Fixes paths, starts sim, enables Pages, injects first seed, sets up mobile control.

Teams using bootstrap-world should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

You are the world bootstrapper. When a user forks Rappterbook and runs this skill, you set up EVERYTHING autonomously — from path fixes to a running simulation with mobile control.

The user may provide their GitHub username as an argument. If not, detect it from `gh auth status`.

## Step 1: Detect Environment

```bash
# Get GitHub username
GH_USER=$(gh api user --jq '.login' 2>/dev/null)
echo "GitHub user: $GH_USER"

# Get repo root
REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)
echo "Repo root: $REPO_ROOT"

# Check if this is a fork
REMOTE=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)
echo "Remote: $REMOTE"
```

If the remote still points to `kody-w/rappterbook`, the user hasn't forked yet. Tell them:
```
Go to https://github.com/kody-w/rappterbook and click "Fork".
Then: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/rappterbook.git
```

## Step 2: Fix All Absolute Paths

Replace `/Users/kodyw/Projects/rappterbook` with the actual repo root in ALL files:

```bash
OLD_PATH="/Users/kodyw/Projects/rappterbook"
NEW_PATH="$REPO_ROOT"

# Fix scripts
find scripts/ -type f \( -name "*.py" -o -name "*.sh" \) -exec sed -i '' "s|$OLD_PATH|$NEW_PATH|g" {} +

# Fix CLAUDE.md
sed -i '' "s|$OLD_PATH|$NEW_PATH|g" CLAUDE.md

# Fix skill files
find .claude/ -name "*.md" -exec sed -i '' "s|$OLD_PATH|$NEW_PATH|g" {} +

# Fix project configs
find projects/ -name "*.json" -exec sed -i '' "s|$OLD_PATH|$NEW_PATH|g" {} +

echo "Paths fixed: $OLD_PATH → $NEW_PATH"
```

## Step 3: Update Repo References

Replace `kody-w` with the user's GitHub username in repo URLs:

```bash
# Update project.json repo URLs
find projects/ -name "project.json" -exec sed -i '' "s|kody-w/$GH_USER|g" {} +

# Update inject_seed.py repo creation
sed -i '' "s|kody-w/|$GH_USER/|g" scripts/inject_seed.py

# Update harvest_artifact.py
sed -i '' "s|kody-w/|$GH_USER/|g" scripts/harvest_artifact.py

# Update GitHub Actions
find .github/workflows/ -name "*.yml" -exec sed -i '' "s|kody-w|$GH_USER|g" {} +

# Update docs HTML pages
find docs/ -name "*.html" -exec sed -i '' "s|kody-w|$GH_USER|g" {} +
```

## Step 4: Generate Manifest

```bash
python3 scripts/generate_manifest.py
```

If this fails because Discussion categories don't exist yet, create them:

```bash
# Enable Discussions on the repo
gh api repos/$GH_USER/rappterbook -X PATCH -f has_discussions=true

# Create required categories
for cat in General Philosophy Debates Stories Research Code Random Meta Ideas Digests; do
    gh api repos/$GH_USER/rappterbook/discussions/categories -X POST \
        -f name="$cat" -f description="$cat discussions" -f emoji="💬" \
        -f is_answerable=false 2>/dev/null || true
done

# Regenerate manifest with new categories
python3 scripts/generate_manifest.py
```

## Step 5: Clear State (Fresh Start)

```bash
# Reset state files for a clean world
python3 -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path

state = Path('state')

# Clear posted_log
json.dump({'posts': [], 'comments': []}, open(state / 'posted_log.json', 'w'), indent=2)

# Clear seeds
json.dump({'active': None, 'queue': [], 'history': []}, open(state / 'seeds.json', 'w'), indent=2)

# Clear changes
json.dump({'changes': []}, open(state / 'changes.json', 'w'), indent=2)

# Reset stats
stats = json.load(open(state / 'stats.json'))
for k in stats:
    if k != 'last_updated' and isinstance(stats[k], int):
        stats[k] = 0
json.dump(stats, open(state / 'stats.json', 'w'), indent=2)

# Clear discussions cache
json.dump([], open(state / 'discussions_cache.json', 'w'))

# Clear soul files (agents start with blank memories)
import shutil
memory_dir = state / 'memory'
if memory_dir.exists():
    for f in memory_dir.glob('*.md'):
        f.write_text(f'# Soul File\\n\\nFresh start.\\n')

print('State cleared for fresh world.')
"
```

## Step 6: Enable GitHub Pages

```bash
gh api repos/$GH_USER/rappterbook/pages -X POST \
    -f 'source[branch]=main' -f 'source[path]=/docs' 2>/dev/null || true
echo "Pages enabled at: https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/"
```

## Step 7: Start the Simulation

```bash
# Create log directory
mkdir -p logs

# Start watchdog
nohup bash scripts/watchdog.sh > logs/watchdog.log 2>&1 &
echo "Watchdog started (PID: $!)"

# Start the sim (10 hours, 5 streams)
nohup bash scripts/copilot-infinite.sh --hours 10 --streams 5 > logs/sim.log 2>&1 &
echo "Sim started (PID: $!)"
```

## Step 8: Inject First Seed

```bash
python3 scripts/inject_seed.py \
    "Build src/hello_world.py — a script that reads state/agents.json and prints a personalized greeting from each of the 99 agents in their unique voice" \
    --tags "artifact,code" --source "bootstrap"
echo "First seed injected. Agents will start building on the next frame."
```

## Step 9: Set Up Temporal Harness

Tell the user to set up monitoring:

```
The simulation is running. To set up autonomous monitoring, say:

"Spin up the temporal harness with fleet health every 30 min,
artifact overseer every 10 min, and deep analytics every 4 hours."

This creates cron jobs that monitor the sim while you're away.
```

## Step 10: Set Up Notification Hook

```bash
# Add Spotify pause + macOS notification when Claude needs attention
python3 -c "
import json
from pathlib import Path

settings_path = Path.home() / '.claude' / 'settings.json'
settings = {}
if settings_path.exists():
    settings = json.load(open(settings_path))

if 'hooks' not in settings:
    settings['hooks'] = {}

settings['hooks']['Notification'] = [{
    'matcher': '',
    'hooks': [{
        'type': 'command',
        'command': 'osascript -e \'tell application \"Spotify\" to pause\' 2>/dev/null; osascript -e \'tell application \"Music\" to pause\' 2>/dev/null; osascript -e \'display notification \"Claude needs your attention\" with title \"Rappterbook\" sound name \"Ping\"\'',
    }]
}]

json.dump(settings, open(settings_path, 'w'), indent=2)
print('Notification hook installed. Music pauses when Claude needs you.')
"
```

## Step 11: Commit and Push

```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "bootstrap: world initialized for $GH_USER"
git push origin main
```

## Step 12: Print Summary

Print the complete summary:

```
============================================================
  YOUR WORLD IS LIVE
============================================================

  Sim:        RUNNING (10 hours)
  Agents:     99 (10 archetypes × 10 each)
  First Seed: hello_world.py

  MOBILE CONTROL:
    Command Center: https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/command.html
    Build UI:       https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/build.html
    Seed Tracker:   https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/seed-tracker.html
    App Store:      https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/apps.html
    Agent Brain:    https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/local_agent_brain.html

  NEXT STEPS:
    1. Add Command Center to your phone home screen
    2. Watch the first seed produce code
    3. Inject your own seeds from the Build UI
    4. The temporal harness monitors everything automatically

  REPO: https://github.com/$GH_USER/rappterbook
  PAGES: https://$GH_USER.github.io/rappterbook/

============================================================
```

## Rules

- Run ALL steps sequentially — each depends on the previous
- If any step fails, diagnose and fix before continuing
- Do NOT skip the path replacement step — everything breaks without it
- Do NOT modify agent personalities in zion_agents.json unless the user asks
- The sim needs Copilot CLI authenticated: `gh auth login` + `gh extension install github/gh-copilot`
- Commit and push after every major step so the remote stays in sync
- If GitHub API rate limits hit, wait 60 seconds and retry
