.agents/skills/template-initialization/SKILL.md
Initialize a new project from template-ts non-interactively. Use when the user wants to set up a fresh repository from the template, customize project metadata (name, author, description), configure package scope, and optionally remove example packages/tests. This automates the entire scripts/init-template.mjs workflow without manual prompts. Now includes intelligent defaults detection, skills discovery, and Copilot integration.

- description:
- Initialize a new project from template-ts non-interactively. Use when the user wants to set up a fresh repository from the template, customize project metadata (name, author, description), configure package scope, and optionally remove example packages/tests. This automates the entire scripts/init-template.mjs workflow without manual prompts. Now includes intelligent defaults detection, skills discovery, and Copilot integration.
Template Initialization
Automate project initialization from template-ts by driving the interactive script non-interactively. The script now features intelligent defaults auto-detection from git config and environment, skills discovery based on project context, and automatic installation of specify tools for GitHub Copilot.
Workflow
- Detect intelligent defaults - Auto-detect project name, author, email, repo URL from environment and git config
- Gather inputs - Ask user for required fields with intelligent defaults pre-filled; only description typically needs manual input
- Discover skills - Analyze project description to recommend relevant skills from https://skills.sh/
- Validate environment - Check Node.js >= 20, pnpm >= 10, and scripts are executable
- Execute initialization - Run init script with piped answers
- Install Copilot tools - Automatically install specify and specify-extend with Copilot agent
- Verify setup - Run lint and tests, report results
Required Inputs
Collect these from the user before proceeding (or use intelligent defaults):
project_name- Project name (default: auto-detected frombasename $(pwd))author_name- Author name (default: auto-detected fromgit config user.name)description- Project description (no default, user must provide)
Optional (intelligent defaults provided):
author_email- Author email (default: auto-detected fromgit config user.email)repository_url- Repository URL (default: auto-detected fromgit remote.origin.url)package_scope- Package scope (default: if monorepo use the project name, otherwise extract from project name e.g., "acme-app" → "acme", fallback: "")remove_example_packages- Remove example packages? (default: "y")remove_example_tests- Remove example tests? (default: "y")remove_example_e2e- Remove E2E tests? (default: "y")replace_template_initialization- Replace TEMPLATE_INITIALIZATION.md? (default: "y")
Execution
Run the init script using zx:
# Example with intelligent defaults (most values will be auto-detected)
# The script is interactive, so run it directly
node scripts/init-template.mjs
Note:
- Empty strings ("") will use intelligent defaults auto-detected from git config and environment
- The script will auto-detect: project name (from directory), author name/email (from git config), repo URL (from git remote), and package scope (from project name pattern)
- The 6th line (
y) confirms to proceed after showing the configuration summary - Skills discovery will run automatically based on the project description provided
Skills Discovery
The script now automatically analyzes the project description and recommends relevant skills from https://skills.sh/. This happens transparently during initialization. The recommended skills will be available in agent-specific directories (.copilot/, .claude/, .codex/, .gemini/).
Copilot Integration
The script automatically installs specify tools for GitHub Copilot:
uvx specify --ai copilot- Installs specify with Copilot agentuvx specify-extend --agent copilot- Installs specify extensions
If uvx is not available, the script provides instructions for manual installation.
Post-Initialization
Run validation commands:
pnpm run lint
pnpm test
What Gets Updated
package.json- Project metadata, author, description, repositoryREADME.md- Generated with project detailsAGENTS.md- Generated with project name and agent guidance (with correct "Copilot" capitalization)scripts/TEMPLATE_INITIALIZATION.md- Optionally replaced with starter guide.copilot/skills/- Skills directory created with symlinks to recommended skills- Example packages/tests - Optionally removed based on user choices
- Git repository - Initialized with initial commit if not already present
- Specify tools - Installed automatically for GitHub Copilot integration
New Features
Intelligent Defaults Auto-Detection
- Project name:
basename $(pwd) - Author name:
git config user.name - Author email:
git config user.email - Repository URL:
git config remote.origin.url - Package scope: Extracted from project name (e.g., "acme-app" → "acme")
Skills Discovery
- Runs
scripts/discover-skills.mjsto analyze project context - Recommends relevant skills based on project name and description
- Skills matched against patterns from https://skills.sh/
- Output includes recommended skills list for the agent directories
Copilot Integration
- Automatically installs
uvx specify --ai copilot - Automatically installs
uvx specify-extend --agent copilot - Provides manual installation instructions if uvx unavailable
Deliverables
Report to user:
- Configuration summary (inputs used, including auto-detected defaults)
- Discovered skills recommendations
- Commands executed
- Specify tools installation status
- Lint results
- Test results
- Location of updated files
- Skills available in .copilot/, .claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ directories
