Project Bootstrap
Apply Jess's defaults to the repository setup the user requested. A request for an application or a small prototype does not by itself request the full template. Preserve established tooling unless migration is part of the request.
Choose the scope
Infer the language, artifact type, and requested setup from the task. Distinguish a minimal runnable project from a repository intended for distribution. State material infrastructure choices before implementing them. Ask only when missing information changes a decision the user owns.
- Minimal setup: source layout, dependency manifest, and the commands needed to
run and verify the project.
- Repository tooling: formatter, linter, type/build checks, and CI.
- Distribution: release automation and contributor-facing files appropriate to
the product.
- Full Jess template: repository tooling, applicable distribution files, and
agent-rule and review infrastructure. Use only when the full template or those gates are requested.
Tooling defaults
| Language | Formatter | Linter | Type/build check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rust | rustfmt | clippy | cargo build / cargo test |
| Go | gofmt / goimports | staticcheck + go vet | go build / go test |
| TypeScript | oxfmt | oxlint | tsc --noEmit |
| Python | ruff format | ruff check | mypy or pyright |
Use one formatter and one lint configuration per language. Start with strict type checking where supported. Keep boundary parsing possible: do not ban unknown input types, runtime narrowing, or legitimate React effects globally. Use code-craft for language-specific guidance when needed.
Define the check suite in one recipe shared by CI and local development. If hooks are requested, use the same recipe or a scoped fast subset. Do not run slow full-suite checks on every commit merely to duplicate CI.
Agent infrastructure
When agent-rule enforcement or AI review is requested, put each rule at the lowest layer that can express it faithfully. Prefer compiler and linter checks over a new agent-rule system. Do not duplicate the same gate across layers.
For an agent-specific rule that needs enforcement, use structural matching where possible and provide a CI check independent of agent edits. For an AI review gate, keep reviewer definitions reviewable and protect them through the repo's ownership rules. Required gates must not silently pass when evaluation fails.
Distribution and project files
For a CLI intended for binary distribution, prefer tag-triggered releases with checksummed archives for the supported platforms. Derive the version from the tag. Include installers only when requested or needed by the distribution plan; they must verify checksums before installing.
Keep supported platforms and package registries tied to the intended users. Do not build a platform matrix for an unpublished prototype.
For a repository intended for public distribution, include the license, contribution instructions, and a private security-reporting path. Add conduct guidelines, issue templates, dependency updates, and release workflows when the full template or their specific purpose is requested.
Jess's new-license choices are AGPL-3.0-or-later or Apache-2.0. Ask which to use when licensing a new project unless the user already chose. With AGPL, Jess's default for documentation is CC-BY-SA-4.0, recorded in NOTICE. Preserve existing licenses and third-party notices.
Verify and report
Run the generated setup and required checks. Confirm CI invokes the maintained check recipe. Report what was configured and any unverified platform or external service. Do not publish, create remote repositories, or configure paid services without authorization for those actions.
