ln-700-project-bootstrap
Type: L1 Top Orchestrator Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap
Universal project bootstrapper with two modes: CREATE (generate production-ready project from scratch) or TRANSFORM (migrate existing prototype from any platform to production structure). Output: Clean Architecture, Docker, CI/CD, quality tooling.
Mode Selection
| Aspect | CREATE | TRANSFORM |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Empty directory or target stack config | Existing project (Replit, StackBlitz, CodeSandbox, Glitch, custom) |
| Detection | No source files found | Source files + optional platform config detected |
| ln-820 | SKIP (no deps to upgrade) | RUN (upgrade existing deps) |
| ln-720 | SCAFFOLD + GENERATE | RESTRUCTURE + MIGRATE |
| ln-724 | SKIP (no artifacts) | CONDITIONAL (if platform detected) |
| ln-730–780 | RUN (same for both modes) | RUN (same for both modes) |
Overview
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Input | Empty directory (CREATE) or source project (TRANSFORM) |
| Output | Production-ready project with all infrastructure |
| Delegations | ln-820 (conditional) -> ln-720 -> ln-730 -> ln-740 -> ln-760 -> ln-770 -> ln-780 |

Phase 0: Technology Detection
Step 0.0: Mode Detection
| Condition | Mode | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Empty directory (no source files) | CREATE | Ask user for target stack, project name, entities |
| Source files found | TRANSFORM | Auto-detect stack, scan for platform artifacts |
| Ambiguous (few files, unclear) | ASK | Present both options, let user choose |
Step 0.1: CREATE Mode — User Input
| Parameter | Required | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project name | Yes | — | MyApp |
| Target backend | Yes | — | .NET / Node.js / Python |
| Target frontend | Yes | — | React / Vue / Angular / Svelte |
| Database | Yes | — | PostgreSQL / MongoDB / MySQL |
| Main entities | No | User, Role (starter) | User, Product, Order |
Step 0.2: Idempotency Pre-flight
If target directory contains existing files:
- Detect existing structure (package.json, .csproj, etc.)
- Warn user: "Target directory is not empty. Existing files may be overwritten."
- Ask: Overwrite (replace all) / Merge (keep existing, add missing) / Abort
Step 0.3: Technology Detection (TRANSFORM mode) / Stack Config (CREATE mode)
Analyze project to detect tech stack before delegations.
Detection Rules
Frontend:
React:
- package.json contains "react"
- Files: *.tsx, *.jsx with React imports
Vue:
- package.json contains "vue"
- Files: *.vue
Angular:
- package.json contains "@angular/core"
- Files: *.component.ts
Svelte:
- package.json contains "svelte"
- Files: *.svelte
Backend:
.NET:
- *.csproj files exist
- *.sln files exist
Node.js:
- package.json + (express|fastify|nest|koa)
- tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json
Python:
- requirements.txt OR pyproject.toml OR setup.py
- (fastapi|flask|django) in dependencies
Go:
- go.mod exists
Database:
PostgreSQL:
- DATABASE_URL contains "postgres"
- docker-compose.yml contains "postgres"
MongoDB:
- MONGODB_URI in env
- docker-compose.yml contains "mongo"
MySQL:
- DATABASE_URL contains "mysql"
ORM:
Drizzle: drizzle.config.ts exists
Prisma: prisma/schema.prisma exists
EF Core: *.csproj references Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
SQLAlchemy: "sqlalchemy" in requirements
Detection Output
Detected Stack:
Frontend:
Framework: React
Version: 19.x
Build Tool: Vite
UI Library: shadcn/ui
State: React Query
Backend:
Current: Node.js + Express
Target: .NET 10 (user preference)
ORM: Drizzle -> EF Core
Database:
Type: PostgreSQL
Version: 17
Structure:
Type: Monolith (Prototype)
Origin: replit | stackblitz | codesandbox | glitch | custom
Target: Clean Architecture
Phase 1: Generate Transformation Plan
Based on detected stack, create detailed plan:
# Bootstrap Transformation Plan
## Source Analysis
- Frontend: React 19 + Vite + TypeScript
- Backend: Express + Drizzle (to be replaced with .NET)
- Database: PostgreSQL 17
## Transformations
### 1. Dependencies (ln-820)
- Upgrade React 18 -> 19
- Upgrade Vite 5 -> 6
- Add missing peer dependencies
### 2. Structure (ln-720)
- Move frontend to src/frontend/
- Create .NET backend: MyApp.Api, MyApp.Domain, etc.
- Migrate mock data from Drizzle to MockData classes
### 3. DevOps (ln-730)
- Create Dockerfile.frontend (multi-stage)
- Create Dockerfile.backend (.NET SDK)
- Create docker-compose.yml
- Create .github/workflows/ci.yml
### 4. Quality (ln-740)
- Configure ESLint (flat config)
- Add Prettier
- Setup Husky + lint-staged
- Create test infrastructure (Vitest, xUnit)
### 5. Security (ln-760)
- Scan for hardcoded secrets
- Run npm audit
- Create SECURITY.md
### 6. Crosscutting (ln-770)
- Configure Serilog logging
- Add GlobalExceptionMiddleware
- Configure CORS policy
- Add /health endpoints
- Enable Swagger
### 7. Verification (ln-780)
- Build all projects
- Run tests
- Start Docker containers
- Verify health checks
## Estimated Changes
- Files created: ~45
- Files modified: ~12
- Files deleted: ~8 (replaced backend)
Phase 2: User Confirmation
Present plan and ask for approval:
Bootstrap Plan Ready!
Summary:
- Frontend: React 19 (upgrade from 18)
- Backend: .NET 10 (replacing Node.js)
- Docker: Multi-container setup
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions
- Quality: ESLint, Prettier, Husky
Proceed with bootstrap? [Y/n]
If user declines, ask for modifications.
Phase 3: Execute Delegations
Sequential delegation to L2 coordinators:
| Order | Skill | Purpose | CREATE mode | TRANSFORM mode | Depends On |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ln-820 | Upgrade dependencies | SKIP | RUN | — |
| 2 | ln-720 | Structure (SCAFFOLD/RESTRUCTURE) | RUN (SCAFFOLD) | RUN (RESTRUCTURE) | ln-820 |
| 3 | ln-730 | Setup Docker/CI | RUN | RUN | ln-720 |
| 4 | ln-740 | Configure quality tools | RUN | RUN | ln-720 |
| 5 | ln-760 | Security scanning | RUN | RUN | ln-820 |
| 6 | ln-770 | Crosscutting concerns | RUN | RUN | ln-720 |
| 7 | ln-780 | Build and verify | RUN | RUN | All above |
Delegation Protocol
For each L2 coordinator:
-
Prepare context:
Stack: frontend: { framework, version, buildTool } backend: { framework, version } database: { type, version } Paths: root: /project frontend: /project/src/frontend backend: /project/src/MyApp.Api Options: skipTests: false allowFailures: false -
Invoke skill: Pass context as input
Skill(skill: "ln-820-dependency-upgrader", args: "{projectPath} --mode TRANSFORM") Skill(skill: "ln-720-structure-migrator", args: "{projectPath} --mode {CREATE|TRANSFORM}") Skill(skill: "ln-730-devops-setup", args: "{projectPath}") Skill(skill: "ln-740-quality-setup", args: "{projectPath}") Skill(skill: "ln-760-security-setup", args: "{projectPath}") Skill(skill: "ln-770-crosscutting-setup", args: "{projectPath}") Skill(skill: "ln-780-bootstrap-verifier", args: "{projectPath}") -
