# Kickoff flow for a new project **Goal:** produce the 21 canonical Project Spine files (`AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `.cursor/rules/project-spine.mdc`, plus scaffold/QA/rationale docs) from a real brief + the current repo. ## Prerequisites — check before proceeding 1. CLI installed: `spine --version` returns `0.9.2-beta.0` or later 2. Current directory is the project root (has `package.json` or equivalent) 3. No `.project-spine/` directory yet (if there is, this is probably a **drift** scenario — switch to project-spine-drift) ## Step 1 — pick a template (optional but strongly recommended) List available starter templates: ```bash spine template list ``` Bundled templates cover these project types: - `saas-marketing` — marketing site (hero, pricing, customer pages, compliance) - `app-dashboard` — authenticated product with data tables, settings, role gating - `design-system` — component library, tokens, Storybook - `docs-portal` — technical documentation site - `api-service` — Node / TypeScript API service with health and readiness probes - `monorepo` — pnpm / Turborepo / Nx workspace guidance If the user mentions one of these project types, pick the matching template. If they describe something unusual (extension, CLI tool, data pipeline), skip the template and compile without it — the brief carries the intent. ## Step 2 — scaffold ```bash spine init --template <template-name> # or, without a template: spine init ``` This creates:
