Project Bootstrap Orchestrator

Execute bootstrap in strict order. Do not run migrations or development server until project linking and environment verification are complete.

Rules

• Do not run db:push, db:migrate, db:seed, or dev until Vercel linking is complete and env keys are verified.
• Prefer Vercel-managed provisioning (vercel integration ...) for shared resources.
• Use provider CLIs only as fallback when Vercel integration flow is unavailable.
• Never echo secret values in terminal output, logs, or summaries.

Preflight

1. Confirm Vercel CLI is installed and authenticated.

vercel --version
vercel whoami

2. Confirm repo linkage by checking .vercel/project.json.
3. If not linked, inspect available teams/projects before asking the user to choose:

vercel teams ls
vercel projects ls --scope <team>
vercel link --yes --scope <team> --project <project>

4. Find the env template in priority order: .env.example, .env.sample, .env.template.
5. Create local env file if missing:

cp .env.example .env.local

Resource Setup: Postgres

Preferred path (Vercel-managed Neon)

1. Read integration setup guidance:

vercel integration guide neon

2. Add Neon integration to the Vercel scope:

vercel integration add neon --scope <team>

3. Verify expected environment variable names exist in Vercel and pull locally:

vercel env ls
vercel env pull .env.local --yes

Fallback path 1 (Dashboard)

1. Provision Neon through the Vercel dashboard integration UI.
2. Re-run vercel env pull .env.local --yes.

Fallback path 2 (Neon CLI)

Use Neon CLI only when Vercel-managed provisioning is unavailable. After creating resources, add required env vars in Vercel and pull again.

AUTH_SECRET Generation

Generate a high-entropy secret without printing it, then store it in Vercel and refresh local env:

AUTH_SECRET="$(node -e "console.log(require('node:crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('base64url'))")"
printf "%s" "$AUTH_SECRET" | vercel env add AUTH_SECRET development preview production
unset AUTH_SECRET
vercel env pull .env.local --yes

Env Verification

Compare required keys from template file against .env.local keys (names only, never values):

template_file=""
for candidate in .env.example .env.sample .env.template; do
  if [ -f "$candidate" ]; then
    template_file="$candidate"
    break
  fi
done

comm -23 \
  <(grep -E '^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*=' "$template_file" | cut -d '=' -f 1 | sort -u) \
  <(grep -E '^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*=' .env.local | cut -d '=' -f 1 | sort -u)

Proceed only when missing key list is empty.

App Setup

After linkage + env verification:

npm run db:push
npm run db:seed
npm run dev

Use the repository package manager (npm, pnpm, bun, or yarn) and run only scripts that exist in package.json.

UI Baseline for Next.js + shadcn Projects

After linkage and env verification, establish the UI foundation before feature work:

1. Add a baseline primitive set: npx shadcn@latest add button card input label textarea select switch tabs dialog alert-dialog sheet dropdown-menu badge separator skeleton table
2. Apply the Geist font fix in layout.tsx and globals.css.
3. Confirm the app shell uses bg-background text-foreground.
4. Default to dark mode for product, admin, and AI apps unless the repo is clearly marketing-first.

Bootstrap Verification

Confirm each checkpoint:

• vercel whoami succeeds.
• .vercel/project.json exists and matches chosen project.
• Postgres integration path completed (Vercel integration, dashboard, or provider CLI fallback).
• vercel env pull .env.local --yes succeeds.
• Required env key diff is empty.
• Database command status is recorded (db:push, db:seed, db:migrate, db:generate as applicable).
• dev command starts without immediate config/auth/env failure.

If verification fails, stop and report exact failing step plus remediation.

Summary Format

Return a final bootstrap summary in this format:

## Bootstrap Result
- **Linked Project**: <team>/<project>
- **Resource Path**: vercel-integration-neon | dashboard-neon | neon-cli
- **Env Keys**: <count> required, <count> present, <count> missing
- **Secrets**: AUTH_SECRET set in Vercel (value never shown)
- **Migration Status**: not-run | success | failed (<step>)
- **Dev Result**: not-run | started | failed

Bootstrap Next Steps

• If env keys are still missing, add the missing keys in Vercel and re-run vercel env pull .env.local --yes.
• If DB commands fail, fix connectivity/schema issues and re-run only the failed db step.
• If dev fails, resolve runtime errors, then restart with your package manager's run dev.

next-forge Projects

If the project was scaffolded with npx next-forge init (detected by pnpm-workspace.yaml + packages/auth + packages/database + @repo/* imports):

1. Env files are per-app (apps/app/.env.local, apps/web/.env.local, apps/api/.env.local) plus packages/database/.env.
2. Run pnpm migrate (not db:push) — it runs prisma format + prisma generate + prisma db push.
3. Minimum env vars: DATABASE_URL, CLERK_SECRET_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_WEB_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL.
4. Optional services (Stripe, Resend, PostHog, etc.) can be skipped initially — but remove their @repo/* imports from app env.ts files to avoid validation errors.
5. Deploy as 3 separate Vercel projects with root directories apps/app, apps/api, apps/web.
