Repo init

Skill urmzd/dotfiles/dot_agents/skills/repo-init

End-to-end repo bootstrap: creates the GitHub repo (gh repo create), adds an Apache-2.0 LICENSE, dispatches to scaffold-project for CI/release/config, invokes community-health, writes a README, sets topics/description, and makes the initial commit and push. Use when starting a brand-new project from zero and you need the GitHub repo, metadata, and first push handled, not just local files. Do NOT use to scaffold files inside an existing repo; invoke scaffold-project directly for that.From its SKILL.md

Repo Init

Bootstrap a complete repository from zero to pushed.

Steps

Create GitHub repo: gh repo create <name> --<visibility> --description "<description>" --clone (default public).
Add LICENSE: Create an Apache-2.0 LICENSE file in the repo root.
Scaffold: If a language is specified, invoke scaffold-project (which dispatches to scaffold-<lang>) to produce:
- CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) and release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml); see setup-ci.
- sr.yaml for semantic release; see sync-release.
- Task runner native to the language (npm scripts, Makefile, cargo, justfile for Python).
- .envrc via the setup-devenv direnv pattern (vanilla direnv + per-language version manager, not a Nix dev shell).
- Language-specific config (Cargo.toml, go.mod, pyproject.toml, package.json, etc.).
Community health: Invoke community-health to add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, .github/pull_request_template.md, and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ (bug report, feature request, config). Substitute {OWNER}, {REPO}, {CURRENT_MAJOR}, and {CHECK_COMMAND} placeholders. For a brand-new pre-1.0 project, set {CURRENT_MAJOR} to 0 and rewrite the SECURITY.md supported-versions table to 0.x Yes / < 0.x No.
README: Generate a README with the repo name, description, and standard badge layout.
Set metadata: gh repo edit --add-topic <topics> --description "<description>" with relevant topics for the language/type.
Initial commit and push:
- git add -A (safe here since it's a brand new repo)
- git commit -m "chore: initial project scaffold"
- git push -u origin main
Report: Show the repo URL.

Rules

Default to Apache-2.0 license.
Default to public visibility.
If no language is specified, create a minimal repo with just LICENSE, README, and .gitignore.
Use conventional commits for the initial commit.
